You know what would have made this movie ALOT better?
If they had a fucking introduction
>Hey this guy is an orc Okay, what is an orc?
>Hey this guy can use magic, but this guy can't Okay, why?
>Hey, this shit is important because of some ancient prophecy or some shit Okay, what the fuck are you talking about?
I get that this was a movie for the fans, but could you at least take 5 minutes to explain what the hell is going on? For me and my friends who've never played a Warcraft game, this movie was extremely confusing
LOTR did this great, the prologue explained the world, some important characters and set the tone perfectly
Seriously, that was my biggest complaint, otherwise it was quite entertaining
I've played Warcraft 2 since I was 7 and played WoW for years and I won't even bother to pirate it.
crash n burn
Carson Brown
stop whining, we all wanted this to happen so let it happen
Gabriel Morris
Been out in Yurop for weeks already
Some of the neckbeards in the cinema were creaming their pants through the film, so if you're a fan it's probably great
We had no idea what was going on most of the time
Jackson Long
Literally retarded.
Aiden Morales
It's a nice flick if you're a fan, or just into action/fantasy. If you aren't biased, it's confusing.
But we'll probably get a 2nd one, with those China numbers.
Charles Sullivan
Git gud
Caleb Allen
>please spoonfeed me all the details because I am unable to form a crude outline of what is or isn't happening in this fantasy movie
Juan Evans
It's going to make NFS or Prince of Persia numbers.
The rest of the world has already dropped it.
Luis Ortiz
Are you that guy who asks "who is that" "what is happening I wasn't paying attention" "why does that character dress that way" every 5 minutes?
Kayden Wilson
>videogame joint is retarded WOW
Logan Hill
Here's how they should have started the movie, Star Wars scroll style or a LOTR type opening.
The Burning Legion, a nearly infinite demon army, led by the fallen Titan god Sargeras. They move from planet to planet, corrupting the denizens and forcing them to become part of their ever growing army. Those who resist are slaughtered. Their latest conquest, Draenor, has all but been turned from a beautiful planet into a barren one. Here Orcs had lived peacefully for thousands of years but now their leader, Gul'dan has unknowingly been corrupted. With no resources left to survive they have little choice but to move on. One planet remains untouched by the Legion. Azeroth. A peaceful planet inhabited by humans, dwarves, and other interesting life. Gul'dan, now corrupted by dark Fel energies, is about to open a portal to this world. Now a War is about to be Crafted.
Dylan Gomez
Probably was in the film utill the cut 40minutes of it because studios are retards
Luis Bailey
In the scene in OP, Lothar has gone to the dwarves to buy plough blades (known as ploughshares to the literate). This shows that the kingdom is at peace.
This information is communicated by a >1 sec shot of lothar stroking ploughshares in a box.
KINO
Michael Lee
*as the text ends, gryphon flies past the camera* *gryphon lands observed by a hooded figure* *as Lothar dismounts, gyphon makes a cute sound* >Don't worry R2, once we have bought these plough blades we will go straight back to our home in Stormwind.
Isaac Taylor
I played warcraft 3 and this movie got me confused.
they should have introduce the world to make it so not confusing to non-fans.
the orcs were top notch though. fuck.
Thomas Bell
>I played warcraft 3 and this movie got me confused. well obviously, since the movie took the plot of the original Warcraft game which was decades before WC3
Dominic Harris
>OP brings up legit faults in the movie >warcraft defense force calls him a faggot
Jack Barnes
It's not obvious fan-pandering like the new Star Wars movie did, but if you're a fan you'll still like it. Problem is that you probably need to remember shit from the games or you won't understand some parts.
Don't look at the visuals as realistic. It's from a game and characters look gamey without going full WoW. Overall it's a solid 7.5/10. 8.5/10 if the cut content explains all the shit they skipped.
Elijah Diaz
LotR/SW type opening is actually a brilliant idea for the Warcraft intro.
Literally none of that is important from a storytelling perspective. You are certifiably autistic.
Zachary Foster
>not fan-pandering >need to remember shit from the games or you won't understand some parts Whatever you say, David.
Luis Morgan
>I played warcraft 3 and this movie got me confused. Movie took the looks of Wc3 but the stories of 1 and 2. Those who played the first games were already familiar with the main characters and antagonists, though the SPOILERSargeras part was a bit hard to get desu.
That's why you could get some parts but not some others. This movie was a bit "if you played all the games and love the lore you will like it., else it will be an entertaining movie"
I also liked how SPOILER Durotan fights Gul'dan and you think he's gonna pull a Rocky and win at the very last moment or someone is going to save him, but he gets his shit wrecked and dies a horrible death.
I think it was well-made and enjoyable. At the very least it wasn't a traumatic experience like Tekken.
Luis Thompson
>Star Wars scroll style Text exposition is literally the worst thing a movie can start with.
Alexander Stewart
They showed the game as it was supposed to be for the most part. It was a dive into Azeroth that people who were familiar with would enjoy the most. They didn't, however, do it in a cheap way like for example SW did. >Hey, y'know, here's Han and Chewie >Cheers and claps like it's an 80's comedy. >Now there's some characters from the previous movies that happen to be there for no reason, oh, and the plot is pretty much the same but MORE explosions and MORE planet busters and BIGGER death stars!!!!!111!" Bland as fuck, normies loved it and it was acclaimed as the second coming.
Jace Allen
I've never seen this movie or played a Warcraft game, but none of those complaints are legitimate.
Oliver Thomas
answer the question OP
Josiah Rivera
Whenever there's one of these threads about how you would """fix""" a movie I'm reminded of how retarded most people on this board are
Luke King
>I get that this was a movie for the fans
It doesn't even fucking follows basic lore, this movie is shit because the director is a fucking retard that thinks there are asians elves.
Ethan Lopez
> movies shouldn't stand on their own Hey faggot how about you start your movies half way through, you can make an outline of what happened to that point!
Brandon Scott
Hopefully, the directors cut will fix some of these pacing issues, because with all the cut scenes, the movie goes from 0-60 in 20 minutes.
Logan Bailey
>starting a movie with some dull text scroll or a IN A WORLD, WHERE... demon montage Ill take poopers being confused over the most basic fastasy concepts over some recycled intro
Jonathan Clark
Besides explaining the Burning Legion would spoil the main storypoint of the orc storyline
Chase Powell
Warcraft lore is a cartoon, if there's any fantasy world with asian elves it would be Warcraft.
Cooper Wright
Usually I'd agree with you but normies were too lost to know what was going on and I can't say I blame them.
Nathaniel Howard
>Now a War is about to be Crafted. I would have walked out of the theatre immediately.
Kevin Parker
They should have just added 10 minutes more of Draenor footage and hade better character development and it would have been a perfect movie
Those 40 minutes they cut would have made a big difference
Leo Clark
You'd be perfectly ok with white guy chad looking elves? Tbh Asians probably look the closest to Warcraft elves. Adapting ame models to real actors is going to create variety
Logan White
>There was an actual duel with Sauron >Isildur, Elrond, Gil-galad, Cirdan, Elendil vs Sauron >Elendil and Gilgalad perish in the fight >Doesn't say who gave the killing blow >Ring was cut off Sauron by Isildur after he was defeated Maybe someday we will see it in full. Makes sense that they adapted it as they did though.
Dominic Collins
you godamn retards, duncan jones tweeted about there being different races of elves, now first thing, elves aren't caucasian or asian and for sure they aren't fucking races, there are different species of elves in the warcraft universe and those would be night, high elves and highborne.
Andrew Davis
I hope director's cut will gave us movie we deserve. Warcraft is not much complicated than LotR and all the flaws just cuz of 40 lost mintues. Fellowship of Ring - 3 hours (Director's cut is even 4 hours) Warcraft - 2 hours. So, give all your money so we could see great fantasy trilogy.
Jayden Barnes
He meant the actors playing the elves you fucking retard
Michael Hughes
>Now a war is about to be crafted. Fucking really, Duncan?
Adam Thompson
You shills are fucking braindead
Alexander Collins
It follows the lore enough. You're naive and too young for this board if you don't understand every story gets changed for the silver screen. Just the way things are. And I still can't believe people are giving Duncan shit for casting an asian elf in this climate of SJWism. One land mine sidestepped. Who give's a shit, jesus. I'm as racist as most of ya'll but give it a rest and think for a few seconds.
Easton Peterson
asking things to be explained instead of just thrown at the viewer is a legitimate complaint you cockgobbling retard
Ian Thomas
>hand-holding for plebs
God forbid viewers actually do some research on the backstory.
Ian Gonzalez
Fuck off normie scum.
Luis Scott
>Sargeras >corrupt >Burning Legion >corrupt he he, ha ha, ho ho Sargeras is a dindu now, and the light is evil
Adam Young
Not true in any way you faggot
Josiah Perry
I don't care that he casted an asian, I care that he's fucking retarded to answer like this showing that he's so fucking dumb that he doesn't even know the difference between race and species, no wonder the movie is shit, had he simply stay shut he would have come off as a more intelligent person.
Cooper Richardson
This. This isn't about ambiguity or non-important things. It's about the basics of that universe.
Tyler Martin
The new """""lore""""" was enough to go on and you know this
Samuel Thompson
>the director is a fucking retard that thinks there are asians elves. But you're ok with Native American Elves, I guess. Also the Kalimdor portal is supposed to be Asia on Warcraft 3, just saiyan :^)
Tbh it wasn't such a big deal for me IN THIS CASE. Black footmen guys seemed to fit as well and they're canon.
It triggered me though when I saw the same thing happening in the Hobbit universe because that's a completely different case purely based on Eurobrit mythology.
But warcraft 3 was always pretty diverse.
Justin Gray
They were taking the star wars approach, just do a quick cash grab from the built in audience.
Michael Rodriguez
Okay, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and I see where you're coming from, but he clearly said that to appeal to SJWs and in this case I don't blame him, nor does it really fucking matter at all. An excuse to be more diverse, I don't really care. If LOTR was made today they'd get so much shit for not being diverse enough etc.
Noah Reed
If they're even gonna make the fucking dwarves cgi, what the fuck was the point in having real humans?
Asher Mitchell
You don't know the story faggot
Carter Cook
normies...
Adrian King
Nobody cares about that shit movie. Second Paul Blart.
Gavin Thompson
Was a bad flick Tbh, if you're a fan, you'll enjoy it. Don't really care for wow, acting was shit, cgi was awesome, writing was bad. Bad flick is bad flick, cant change it. It makes some super hero movies watchable.
Jacob Martin
>Nobody cares about that shit movie.
Considering it's doing really well at the box office I would say that a lot of people care :^)
Jace Robinson
It wouldn't, stop falling for this meme you stupid virgin.
Ian Hughes
I didn't see it because no worgen.
Adam Williams
furry go.
Hudson Gonzalez
I would be perfectly ok with black men playing night elves, asian playing high elves and maybe whites playing blood elves or half elves.
The thing with the asian elf is just telling people that species and races are the same thing.
Nicholas Stewart
ITT: people pretending they've seen the movie while pretending they haven't played the games
Jason Edwards
That's just pathetic. These retard like Angry birds and Neighbourhood 2, but dislkie best fantasy sicne LotR. Soldout faggots. Hope brain canser will clean our Earth from these plebs.
Christian Bennett
Its a shit movie, you're only saying it's the best cuz you got your biased goggles on. This was shit film, the huntsman was better.
William Lopez
No it wasn't you retarded faggot go shill for disney somewhere else
ive both seen the movie and played WC3 and WoW
Aiden Butler
>the huntsman Dude, you are not even trying
Isaiah Diaz
Its okay to have asian elves, just make them all asian, not some amalgmation where the director doesn't understand the difference between race and species.
A black footman is fine, if he is of the black race of the human species. Hell, you could've had moroes or some kirin tor human mage be black, no problem there. The problem is that a high elf is a race of the elven species, see them as night elves are blacks, high elves are caucasian, blood elves are asian or something like this.
Tomorrow we'll see white males claiming they are blacks trapped in a white man body and everyone will take them seriously.
Ryder Thomas
>Tomorrow we'll see white males claiming they are blacks trapped in a white man body and everyone will take them seriously.
Literally give this 5 years and it will happen.
I was born white but I identify as black. Someone pay for my black skin surgery..
Dominic Reyes
>shill Do you just repeat what everryone else says here? Fucking fat fuck. It was shit, Huntsman was better. Had better writing, acting, and overall atmosphere. This shit tier dvd flick was awful. Stop being a fanboy. No huntsman was better, everything about it was better minus the cgi. Better acting and actors, plot and writing.
Stay mad beta fat virgins.
Blake Robinson
Fuck off you fucking retarded disney shill I know that you haven't even seen Warcraft
also, it doesn't even matter what you say because Warcraft is gonna make way more money than Huntsman :^)
Brandon Roberts
>mad beta fat virgins only one mad disneykid here is you. We all know that Warcraft is superior fantasy which will have lots of movies. and again - The Huntsman is top shit taste
Benjamin Johnson
Saw it Saturday with my gf, who plays wow. Even she said she was disappointed. Jokes on you fatty.
Aiden Nguyen
>good discussion at first >thread later devolves into shitposting Like clockwork
Jackson Martinez
>not denying you're a beta fat virgin. Fucking kek, no wonder you love warcraft. Might as well, go love my little ponies, you cum stain.
Henry Edwards
No shit its gonna make alot, doesn't mean it's good. It's another BvsS.
Adrian Hughes
>that projection Dude, stop embarrass yourself.
Easton Adams
Because Disney shills always come and shitpost
sure you did
Why should he defend himself against some cuck on Sup Forums? lmao
Ian King
Your girlfriend is a stupid imbecil whore who is 100% a moronic retarded shit player failing even in LFR. So who cares what she says
Brody Walker
Spoken like a true cuck Lmao, hey dont believe me, enjoy watching porn you fat virgin cucks.
Michael Clark
>girl >still plays wow
of course the movie went way over her head. Not enough skinnerboxes to keep her interested.
Joseph Adams
>I also liked how SPOILER Durotan fights Gul'dan and you think he's gonna pull a Rocky and win at the very last moment or someone is going to save him, but he gets his shit wrecked and dies a horrible death.
It was certainly unexpected, and I liked it too I was hoping at some point near the end the other Orcs zerg rushed Gul'dan and killed him, but I guess it would be hard to create a second movie from that.
Also in the fight, it takes him quite a while to suck the life from Durotan, but later on he sucks the life from 3 orcs in like 5 seconds
Asher Nelson
jesus christ you faggots are insufferable
Jack Rogers
Yes, let's have a 20 minute lore dump that'll keep the audience interested.
Justin Garcia
I guess the orcs being infused with Fel magic helped hasten the process.
Nicholas Barnes
I read it that once they drink the fel they become dependent on it, so if you magically withdraw the fel from them they just collapse. It's the same as what Medivh did in the forest.
Dominic Ramirez
According to new lore
>There's something even worse than Old Gods called "Void Lords" >Old Gods are actually just their brain farts that slipped into the universe from their realm of non-existence >Their plan is to take over a Titan made planet like Azeroth because they're actually planet sized embryos storing babby Titans >If they corrupt one Void Lords can get into reality >Dread Lords knew of this and warned Sargeras >Sargeras forms army of demons to wipe out Titan planets to stop this from happening
Sargeras, the literal Satan of WoW, is now a well intentioned extremist protagonist.
It's the equivalent of saying the 4 Chaos Gods of Warhammer are good because they're trying to fight something biggerer and badderer.
Jayden Adams
>holy dreadlord wait what? i knew blizzard threw lore out of the window awhile back, but what the actual fuck?
Julian Howard
YOU JUST KNOW
Caleb Morris
sargeras is a pawn you fucking retard, the old gods or azeroth are not needed anymore, the void lords got the corrupted titan they wanted sargeras went crazy after getting in contact with the nathrezim who lived alongside the old gods, it's not that hard to understand light aligned beings can get corrupted, why can't it be the other way arround? the thing that gets me about the new lore is illidan's prophecy that he will turn holy, now that is retarded and I hope they drop it
Jackson Moore
Sargeras still wants to wipe out all life because he thinks that's the only way to stop the void lords
Giving him a motivation isn't bad
>sargeras is a pawn you fucking retard, the old gods or azeroth are not needed anymore, the void lords got the corrupted titan they wanted >sargeras went crazy after getting in contact with the nathrezim who lived alongside the old gods, it's not that hard to understand retard
Tyler Jones
>retard nice argument
Charles Hill
If the movie went with the same pace as LOTR we could have gotten 2 hour of Talking then the movie ends with the Portal opening and the Orcs getting to Azeroth
Ryder Reed
Imagine how shitty it was for the humans who were about to enter the portal back home when it closed I never felt so bad for fictional characters before.
Brandon Adams
>when the Orcs hesitated a bit before slaughtering them
