[Movie] Warcraft (June 2016)

[Tornwar]

I think 123 mins is fine! Just curious if its enough time for everything without rushing? I guess Duncan got it covered!

[Orby]

lol

so... looks like the 123 mins runtime has been confirmed.
What do you think?

2 hours.... I expected alot less so I am pleasantly surprised. Hopefully they get enough in

I think it's a good runtime too. At least we're 99% sure it won't be boring for the general audience.
The fact is that us fans would be fine also with a 150 mins film, but not the average audience.

Because we've been waiting for a certain date for such a long time. everyone concerned if we can't see it on time. anyway, I know EU get it earlier, but as long as it released on 10th, we got nothing to complain. :-S

If you are going to do 3D for Warcraft, my suggestion is that you find out if the system is “REAL D” 3d. Best 3D version, in my opinion.

Still IMAX for me.

For the Hooters!

123 mins is fine runtime. Not too short to be disappointed with rushed ending, not too long to be bored. I mean, i watched BvS and scratched my ass during the 50+% of the movie.

Yet, in Warcraft i expect WAY more action and interesting scenes. Im pretty sure 50+% of the movie will be consisted of the action.

[lonely zergling]

Nice my cinema uses "REAL D" 3D, In Duncan we trust.

I have no idea what the differences are tbh.

Yeah, Warcraft definitely looks much more various and colorful than BvS, and now we know it's even much shorter, so...

[AndaliteBandit]

Also, two big Horde supporters

They're definitely fake.

Those eyelashes, I mean.

Im pretty sure Warcraft in 3D would be looking spectacular and unbelievably real. Sometimes I'm sad LotR doesnt have 3D technical features.
Anyway I'm going to watch the movie in both 2D and 3D.

SNIP...

Yeah, especially a certain someone.

I actually still find it disappointing its not in the movie.

Does nothing but hide the orcs a major reason and motivation for coming to azeroth. All to what? Put orcs in a different lgiht. Make you care about them?

I think keeping out the blood drinking under some guise of they might do it in another movie is a rather piss poor tactic when "fans" know the meaning and an entire expansion was based off trying to show what would have happened if they didn't drink.

An omission of a rather important detail in the mindset of orcs at that time and why they invaded.

Quite a disappoint to know it wont be there. Wonder how they explain it away. "Oh it was the fel magic." what a cop out if that is how they go.

[Harbour]

That's what I hoped and quite expected. The story is just presented in a way that these things are skipped to not mess the movie up, things that were never supposed to be relevant or play a role in the First War.

You have summoned an ancient evil.

Well, it happened before they came to Azeroth anyway, so the movie just starts after
that point. Plus, it'd probably cost a ton of extra money to have Mannoroth animated.

And leaving it out to let people care aboot the orcs is silly. The orcs who drank aren't
the ones who we're meant to feel for. The ones who didn't are.

I get that but it doesn't sell well for me. It was such a major turning point for orcs and nearly everything about them. Intention, motivation, goals. Screws up the story in my eyes. and mannoroth could be done in a number of ways that would fall in line with the current orcs and CGI.

They could still pull that off with the frostwolves and still drink the blood. Showing a different side of the orcs like the books have done and rather well I might add.

The point I was trying to make is that it not being in the movie has nothing to do with
making the audience sympathize with some of the orcs.

[Deleted]

Fans are organizing FB groups/events to gahter people to watch the movie, and Duncan is helping us.
Let's invade the theaters like the Horde invades Azeroth!

We're going to disagree on that.
I think it has nearly everything to do with it. One could not not try to pull duncans "orcs in a different light" and "caring" goals and also have the bulk of them drink demon blood. I don't think that would sell well to the general audience. Fans would understand but not general viewers. Even though I do think they could still make you think differently about the frostwolves due to their choice.

I also don't think they can get away with it in China so it had to come out of the movie because of that as well. China has some strict things in that area and I'm pretty sure that would fall into one of the banned things. And above all else, they want this movie in China.

I disagree completely. One could do it, it'd simply require a bit more human moments
out of the protagonist orcs than are currently allotted. While I firmly believe that the
general movie-going populace is daft, I don't think they're incapable of sympathy.

Given that Mannoroth officially exists in this world, I doubt China is the reason. (Also,
that has nothing to do with orc sympathies.)

I don't think it would need more human moments to show off what the frostwolves don't do there and present them as a good side. Hell, I think that is a veyr strong moment for them

I think you're wrong on China being a motivation for that not being in the movie.
And Mannoroth. Oh he will not be the same nor do I think they will ever show them drinking demon blood and what it does to them. Even in a squeal. That will be out as they hide behind the "oh it's a movie so we changed a few things" BS.
