It's astonishing how few people get this. It's like getting mad at JK Rowling for anything in the Harry Potter films...Blizzard didn't make the movie... they licensed it...
does this honestly look real to you?

Well, that's one way to look at it, sure. I have no idea what they gain by doing so. It doesn't look wowish, it looks shitty, plain and simple.
Blizzard's "badass" characters with one word a minute way of talking is much, much worse.

OK, i bet my left testicle that if Blizzard removed all the effects CGI you'd come here after watching it saying it was shitty because it lacked proper special effects.
Removed was a bad choice of words from my side. I meant changed into a more old fashioned way, like older movies.
Please tell me the guy with the Pornstache isn't Medivh.
I would probably rather have bad CGI, you're right (as opposed to Star Wars / 90s Ninja Turtle style suits). But if the story and characters are good ... i can get past it. It's a movie with lots of non-humans in a very alien world. Puppets, suits, and the New Zealand landscape wouldn't be enough.
Plus, CGI never ages well so someday this movie and movies made these days will be the "old fashion way, like older movies" .... if the characters and story are good, it will hold up, despite laughable effects.
The scorpion king wasn't bad because of graphics ... it was terrible story-telling and bad graphics just made it worse.
Ironically (if we are being liberal with the term), this concept is true of video games. Graphics rarely ruin the experience.
Most people have already seen the trailer. Give us different scenes or do something different.
Just because you put makeup on a pig, doesn't mean it's no longer a pig.
You can't be like we have this new thing, but it's not actually new.

Why would you ruin the story?
Just give new scenes that don't give any story, except maybe laying the characters out.
I was a Death's Demise.
Those were the good old days.
The green screen really stands out when Lothar's in Ironforge...
I was cautiously optimistic but now I'm just cautious.
