[Movie] Warcraft (June 2016)

[Nefiasm]

Anyone else think its strange that it releases on a Monday in the UK?

In some ways I do but it is on a Bank Holiday Weekend, so.. yeah :x

We shouldn't have illusions that Warcraft is something more than the comic books' version of Tolkien. It's how it was mainly developed by Metzen and Samwise, two comic books geeks, and expanded the past 20 years. That's why the MCU comparison is a good one, it's not about the tone or story but about the characters and the world.

Nailed it pretty well. Influence from comic book works was always blatant in Warcraft, to the point of touching sci-fi aswell. While the world and the general atmosphere will be obviously close to the fantasy genre, the storytelling approach will be far closer to the MCU.

Still, I wouldn't consider "optmistic" the idea of Warcraft being a better movie than Jurassic World (that I can't call a good movie to begin with, it was "fun" but not definitely "good" in my eyes) or be in par with what Christopher Nolan did with the Batman reboot. I think this movie has all the chances to, at least, achieve these goals.

Can any dutchy confirm that the movie won't be exclusively shown in 3d... Cuz this site says only in 3d and imax 3d http://www.warcraftfilm.nl/

Normaal gesproken zijn alle films altijd in 2D beschikbaar, aangezien 3D nog steeds een soort van extra is vermelden ze dat altijd apart.

I'd go as far as to say they embrace that comic book style. All their IPs are about big heroes and recurring villains. Which is good, there aren't that many good overly-heroic high fantasy universes, and certainly none as big as Warcraft in size or popularity.

For a franchise that started so close to Warhammer, they've managed to turn it into its own thing by quite a large margin.

And it's sort of constantly evolving, specifically with regards to the movie, the story we'll get in this movie is much more refined (as well as the characters) than anything we've probably seen in the games (at least if we look at WoW and the recent history of Warcraft) so far, which is why the movie can even be viewed in a slightly different light than the story of the games. For all we know, it really could be worse, the same or better. I somehow doubt it'll be worse.

It can be worse than the books (few movies aren't), but I doubt it can be worse than Warcraft 1.

Do we really have a Warcraft 1 book, though? I mean, we have The Last Guardian, but that only really has to do with Khadgar and Medivh.

I'm patiently waiting for my local theater to open their ticket reservations for the movie. Once they do, I'm going to reserve two seats for my oldest daughter and I. She's got her Horde sweater ready

I'm dragging my GF there kicking and screamin'!

Yeah, the First War was never told from the Horde's perspective.

I see Universal made sure to get rid of the best trailer for the movie from face of the Internet. They're so good at this.

I plan to go and watch Warcraft at least 2 days, bought a Horde and an Alliance Shirt for the 2 days .
Here in Brazil a major problem is the delivery date of Jinx, because i also bought a Horde shirt there, when it'll arrive is the mistery .

This thread has been really unactive these days, is it the calm before the storm?
