Warcraft movie MEGA THREAD

[Deleted]

If WoW in vanilla at the start had got 7 bad reviews on day 1, out of 10. Would we have ever sub'd? What if those 7 only every played Football Manager.

I watch it for me. Not for what anyone else thinks.

This guy has the right idea.

Never imagined it to be anything special ... Well I did before watching the first clip from it. Think it will be a niche thing - either you love it , because you like wow, or you hate it because in it self it isn't a good movie.
I have not watched it, but I will. Will I buy it when it gets released on DVD? Yes , no matter if it is good or bad.

I never really care at all about reviews. Have watched some movies with bad reviews, that would get a 10/10,if I was the one writing it..
Movies, music and art is all subjective things. Think about it.

So you can only love it because you love wow? If not you hate it because the movie isn't good?
That is some flawless logic right there..

Maybe I will love it because the movie is just good?

Have you considered that, alternatively, the majority of the world thinks Age of Apocalypse is a fucking mediocrety?

you != majority of the world

A whole five reviews, wow.

That's exactly what I was thinking.



Things have even changed since the OP made the thread btw, now there's 9 reviews and the rating is rising. Not fast, but it is.

This clearly shows that the first reviewers were kind of biased, to say the least. I don't think the movie is LotR amazing, but it does deserve a 7/10. Just my opinion.

You mean, if WoW Vanilla hadn't had an extensive months-long Beta program beforehand that proved it was actually worth investing time into after Launch?

Yeah sure, probably not.

It's such a shame movies don't have Beta's...... Well, unless you count Dubstep Trailers.

Good point.

Likewise, loud Internet groups =/= most of the world, but you'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise, considering how loudly some of them can scream.

Surprise level: 0.0%.

We all knew this was going to be a dud from the very beginning. It is a GAME MOVIE, they never ever ever ever ever ever ever turn out well.

Actually the movie is really good. It's only because it is a "game movie" that it is bashed.

[Deleted]

Fair point, but I refuse to believe that the majority ranks Sharknado as anything but a complete pile of horseshit. Even if it was made to be terrible there are already more than enough movies that did that already, the megashark ones for instance.

There's also the problem that many critics feel some movies are "beneath" them, so they don't issue reviews for them at all. Hence, only second/third rate idiots end up reviewing things like Sharknado.

Yeah, it's all that "Anti-Video Game Movie" stuff. That's also why the DOOM movie is secretly great, even though it sucks. It's the world's worst kept secret, you see.

The Ass Crack movie is also likewise doomed to fail because, Video Game Movie. It'll have nothing at all to do with how much Hollywood is pushing the Animus thing, even though we all hate the Animus & wish Ubisoft would just cut it out already.

Doom is a bad movie AND a videogame movie. Thinking that those two concepts are somehow magically related when videogames are a medium, not a genre, is quite superstitious.

[Benomatic]

say 5 million people play wow, and 5 million fans went to see it. I'd rather base my opinion however biased it may be off of fans who enjoyed it. The warcraft/wow player base is pretty gargantuan. A critic who is a non fan may say negative things, a fan my say positive things.

Down to 40 now. Another rotten is in. I don't think it will cross 50% and likely stay rotten..

Internet Sarcasm Fail :P

[Laraven]

I don't know, but I like Beastmaster, Legend and Ladyhawke. So if it's anything like those movies I will certainly enjoy it.

Metzen has a fucking agenda, the same agenda Snyder had with the DCEU which resulted in him smashing it into the ground, repeatedly. "Character redesigns to suit my massive ego." In this case; "Redesign the Orcs in order to make them look like they're not actually bad guys from the very beginning."

You know the impression we got from Orcs with Warcraft 1? Race of invading aliens. Super-powerful, super-ruthless. Oh, & they were green, not brown. Not to mention how Durotan didn't even exist yet, because he'd been exiled, exactly because he refused to stand by the Horde while they further slaughtered innocents (the Space Goat massacre they will never mention in Metzen's New World, because "that's dark gory shit we don't need to talk about").

But hey, "Green Jesus" has been accepted so well, why not give his father the role too? "Senior Brown Jesus!"

/eyeroll.

Do you even read your whiny post? Who gives a fuk if Orcs are not shown as mindless killers! Orcs in WC1 were NOT REMOTELY SUPER-POWERFUL. Orcs only won because they outnumbered humans 1 to gazillion. Even then it was long out war and humans only folded after King Llyane was assassinated. So you are fuking raging because it didn't copy RTS game where both alliance and horde win, where originally King gets killed by BH but it was later changed to Garona? Yeah, I can see why you are a fan, just the dumb kind.

Have you even seen the movie ? Or are you part of these pathetic "internet reviewers" who allready knows everything of a movie/game/book just reading others review...

I saw the movie, it was good, period. And I make a clear distinction between production quality and personal liking. Something can be shit and liked, and another can be good and disliked.

You may clearly not like warcraft movie, but puting a bad review because someone disliked it is stupid.

Welcome to the Internet, where it's disgraceful to want a loyal adaptation of source material, instead of some half-assed bullshit with two-dimensional characters. Good to know the Warcraft lore fanbase has been reduced to people such as you.

For the record; yeah, I'm raging because there's no way Universal let them keep the Garona-stabs-Wrynn ending, because "too sad" or some shit.

Plus, can't let the Green-Brown Apes win, that's just a bad idea. Hell, just look at the new Planet of the Apes Trilogy to see what a bad idea that is.

So go forward, & enjoy your half-assed Hollywood adaptation if you want, I'll stick to wanting a real one.

"I saw the movie"

Haven't heard that one before.

For that matter, I haven't read a single review, I pre-judged it based on the Trailers, & based on the Trailers, it looks like predictable 3rd rate Fantasy tropes tripe. As of last night, my expectations were confirmed from people I actually trust to be objective.

But hey, "you saw the movie."

[Ealyssa]

I just judge it based on the Trailers, & based on the Trailers

Ok, you are just stupid. But keep bashing a movie you didn't even saw. Makes you look really smart.

Start reviewing the thousands of books you didn't read, and the hundreds of play you never watched. Should be really interesting too.
