...Am I the only one noticing the High Elves in the lower-left corner?

Those prosthetic ears though... yuck.

I will be soooo happy if Warcraft gets a very high score... I don't want my hopes to be up in the air just yet, but based on all those positive reactions, Duncan must have done something right

From the height of his immense knowledge of the genre, he picked the two fantasy adaptations that everyone who doesn't live in a bunker knows and called Warcraft a "rip-off" of them for no other reason but the mere fact that, overall, Warcraft is fantasy too. Of course Warcraft is the awful rip-off simply because the movie came later, a movie made for videogame freaks, moreover.

I swear, not even on Youtube people is that ignorant.

When Alice looks like a crappier version of a video game? Did anyone tell him just how much revenue video games generate annually or there is such a thing as e-sport?

How can something that came out in 1994 be a rip off of GOT? I am confused. Just how do you become a reviewer?

To be honest, GoT is based on a series of books back from 1996.
Still, I havent seen any particular influence in warcraft

I found this post pretty funny on 4chan, pretty much sums up a lot of haters of the film:

>I've never wanted a movie to fail as bad as I do this one. Call me pathetic, I don't care. I put 10 years of my pitiful life into this piece of shit.
>What did I get? A total butchering of the game I loved. I watched over the years as the fanbase that I grew up with was demolished in favor of retards who couldn't play worth a damn.
>And now, those same retards are smug and hold contempt for good players, and deem them "elitists". I haven't played since 2014, but I still have hatred left over for Blizzard, the WoW community, and the abomination they created.
>If any company deserves to taste failure, it's them.

There's some random similarities; like hordes of undead from the frozen north led by
some super powerful undead with blue eyes.

ehh, some guy watched a movie with 4dx and said it didn't really work. The airblast and moving chairs are too annoying and can even be so loud you can't hear the movie. Seems like it's still too new of a technology.

I've heard similar arguments from people who watched other movies next to me in 4D. And I completely disagreed with them. I absolutely adore 4D. It transforms an average movie into a great one for me, and a great one into 2 hours of pure enjoyment the likes of which I run into maybe once every few months.

I said it before, he called the film a "GoT copy" which makes me curious in what way it was.

I assume he's referring to the plot twists and the deaths.

IT would only make it better as far as I am concerned of course.

Well, ditto. I donno, the guy is obviously crazy.

Yes, I know that although the undead horde was already a trope in fantasy by that time.
Plus the "blue eyes" thing also had something to do with folklore and the soul I think.

I would guess, Tirion could be a reference ( it is also a real name of course), Blizzard had actually refereced the title of the series in the Undead mission " A symphony of frost and flame" > "a song of ice and fire"

That Rotten Tomatoes girl made me want to taste the contents of an ash tray.
She is the representation of someone who doesn't know how to have expectations

"Video game movies suck"

THAT'S NOT BECAUSE IT'S BASED ON A GAME, IT'T BECAUSE THE CREATORS HAD NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE DOING
FUCK

Warcraft has a fantastic team and will do freaking great, god I dislike her.

In other news, I can't wait for all these dumbasses to eat their words when the movie breaks AT LEAST 400M

Except they were described completely different in the books than portrayed in GoT.

Kristian's always the one and only rooting for Warcraft Lol.

Sarcasm dude

Sarcasm or not, I still don't get what's being referred to. The zombies? xD

No, seriously though, I'm beginning to think that Arthas and him eventually leading this frozen undead horde may have partially been based on the Night's King.

It's more of a ripoff of Darth Vader's story than anything else.

Bright young man is brought up and trained in a mystical art and combat by the best
of the best, until a personal loss causes his gradual decent into evil. Eventually he seeks
out more power in order to save others, but in doing so he kills a former mentor and
loses himself in the quest to save everyone else- a quest which he eventually abandons
as he becomes more evil. His rise to power causes the destruction of the majority of his
religious order.

Upon becoming fully evil, he has donned a new and terrifying suit of armor and weapon.
He then goes with his new found evil power to a dark base, where he reigns for years.
His people build giant fortresses of death, which take out multiple civilizations / worlds
but are eventually felled by a group of heroes. His army is beaten left and right, and the
rag tag group take on his home base. After a fight, they are defeated, as the plan was to
bring the heroes in and bring them over to his side. Inexplicably, the evil is overcome
and the dark lord is felled. Said lord has a moment of humanity as he lays dying and is
put to rest by a blood relative.

Yeah they were described completely different in the books.

Sounds pretty much spot on.

Warcraft 3 came out before Star Wars episode 3, and only 3 months after episode 2 (meaning it couldn't have drawn inspiration from it.).

[tangocash]

Yeah Arthas is more fantasy's Darth Vader. Any similarities to GoT though are coincidental.
