I really hope they do more on screen locations for the sequel. Looking at the behidn the scenes stuff all the outside stuff was inside a studio, is it cheaper to do it that way or would it be cheaper to be on location a'la LotR?
I love Warcraft, I dislike WoW
Unsubbed since January 2021, now a Warcraft fan from a distance
So did warcraft break the record of FF7 or not?
I was talking about the "From light comes darkness, from darkness light." motif that appears in the movie and is said by Alodi. That spilled over into a Chronicle discussion through trying to explain how much sense the saying has within the Warcraft universe. But yes, I have issues with that being said by anyone in Warcraft and even more so by a mage who shouldn't have a clue about it. That's all.

I'll get back to you on that as soon as I invent time travel.
I mean in China presale my bad
just saw the movie, and while there are tons of stuff to bitch about, i'll only state the biggest: too fkin short.
it needed 1 more hour
Can you hear it? The beat of a thousand tachycardiac hearts. A thousand female Chinese teenagers fainting at the site of Gul'Dan.Originally Posted by Deadline Article

I get it. The Naaru have nothing to do with current events on Azeroth and have never been in contact with anyone on Azeroth as it is in the movie. Certainly not humans.
Like it or not, the dualism between Light and Darkness is quite strong in Warcraft, in almost no lesser capacity from how Star Wars handle the Bright and Dark sides of the Force.
This said, Alodi's statement is probably more a reference than anything else. After all, Fel and Void aren't strictly related. On the other hand, Fel and Arcane fit a dualism by themselves, in a way. And with Alodi being a mage and all...well, ya got it.

Already haters in comments section haha
Saw the movie again, I don't know why but it felt so much better, no pacing problems at the beginning of the film, my cousin enjoyed it very much but he didn't like the ending when I asked him why he told me that Lothar should know that Garona isn't a traitor I think he liked humans more)))
Btw when Lothar is in the prison and he yells at the guard doing a gesture at him and the guard is polymorphed, then he looks at his hand with a face expression "WTF" , didn't saw this when I watched it first time
The dualism between the Light and the Dark in Star Wars is at the very core of that franchise. There is no other mystic element there, there is only that. They keep going on about it. The dualism between the two in Warcraft is an element here and there when you look at the paladins/priests and the undead/warlocks. And besides that, you can find as many dualisms in Warcraft as you like. Light and Dark, Holy and Undead, Fel and whatever (could be Holy as well, could be something else), Chaos and Order, and on it goes.
Point is, this Light and Dark business is made to be some sort of most important dualism in the world of Azeroth when it simply is not. I mean, there isn't even any reference to the Light and Dark in the movie, there's no Holy magic going on, and instead of Dark we have Fel. Which could be the same thing, but we know they're not. At the very least, if they simply meant to reference the dualism between Gul'Dan and his evil (The Dark) and the forces of good, the humans (the Light), then they should've used different terms, because these really conflict with the established universe. Especially when they're spoken by a mage. If it was spoken by Faol in the next movie, I'd probably have no issues with it.
To be honest, I don't understand what's the point of a character about whom even 90% of the fans of the game know nothing telling Khadgar about his destiny through such vague, fantastically cliched ramblings - I can easily see people simply being weirded out by this scene due to them, well, not knowing literally anything about the character.
In the middle of all this, we lost focus on one major important factor. Warcraft is the best and most faithful video game adaptation ever.
People like to talk "it's a movie of the fans", but isn't that the point all along? Isn't the reason of the video game "curse" the fact that almost all video game movies don't respect the IPs (Super Mario and Uwe Ball, I'm looking at you)?
