I'm not going to go into it looking for a good story, I just want action and cool visuals. Might get that, might not.

One departure from the source material (besides apparently retconning the Burning Legion connection (i don't know--maybe that's still in) is how big the orcs are. Yes, orcs were always pretty tall and buff, average 6'5", but in this they're apparently averaging at close to 7' and strong enough to chuck a horse. In the games, humans were always strong enough to hang with orcs, but in this movie it seems like orcs are hands down superior.

So I looked at the cast list. Khadgar and Garona are both characters, as is the Guardian Medivh, as well as Gul'dan. Nice, this might actually resemble the original game somewhat. Garona is one of my favorite characters from Warcraft, so I hope they do her justice.

Do my bidding, omega.

Pretty much, I love fantasy, so I'm watching this, but I'm not expecting LoTR quality.

Also seems like there might be a human/orc pairing in the works based on the trailer. Please let it be GaronaxKhadgar.

HOLY SHIT I JUST REALIZED THAT THE GUY WHO PLAYS RAGNAR IN VIKINGS IS PLAYING ANDUIN LOTHAR

Looks okay For a first trailer, Seems to be more to do with the strategy game then the MMO.

Also I get the sense that the Alliance of Lordaeron will play a role in this movie, whereas that wasn't formed until the Second War (WCII) when the elves, dwarves, and gnomes joined with the Northern human kingdoms to fight the orcs.

Yup, I've always wanted him to be cast in Sons of Anarchy, but this movie will do.

As a lover of fantasy I hope it's good and ultimately succeeds as a legitimate movie franchise.

The plot is basically the plot of Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, except Dalaran is apparently already floating in the sky.

I just hope the movie does well for game to movie adaptations. With a good reception, financially, Which to me does.... maybe next they could do Starcraft.

I didn't care for the trailer too much, but I still might check it out

Warcraft makes more sense to me than Starcraft.

If this movie is bad I will beat Quan to death.

That's a promise.
