    It's going to be awesome. Go ahead and spread your hate while you can. This film is going to be more successful than anyone imagines.

    But of course I would be happy if they surprised me.
    Stop to consider why it is video game movies have always sucked. They don't just intrinsically suck because of a universal constant in the laws of physics.

    I don't think it will be bad, but I doubt it will blow many people's mind! especially non-gamers.
    Not at all. WOW is very unique in that it has two simultaneous realities of a sort existing at the same time. There is the deadly serious world of the lore we see in the novels and the cinematics that you are completely ignoring here, and that ignorance is almost criminal. Somebody call the opinion police.
    Then there is the beyond the 4th wall pop culture joke aspect of WOW you see in the gameplay, with cartoony exaggerated caricatures of the actual serious world of the lore.

    I know it can be hard to grasp that both can exist in tandem while not overlapping, but it's always been this way.

    I reckon people will over hype the movie as it gets nearer to it's release and when more details get released, and then everybody will be dissapointed. I hope that's not the case though.

    I don't love it, but that's passive aggression I guess. I should work on that.

    What do you think at this point?
    I actually liked those movies and the super mario bros movie even if they weren't true to the games.

    Its too early to tell but my guts telling me it won't be as good as the hellboy films.

Oh and just because Warcraft is fantasy don't compare it to LotR that's akin to saying that Avatar: The Last Airbender was good because The Karate Kid, the original not the shitty remake, was a good movie.
    Obviously the large majority had played doom before.... do you remember how popular doom is? So their opinion is clouded by their knowledge of the universe.

    My knowledge also makes me hate many things in movies and games... but thats just how it goes.

    the doom movie demands a prequel to know why and how the scientists went to mars and how did they discover it...


    btw doom had nice visuals, some story and decent acting... thats what it was, you just said it, but it wasnt perfect or good... i never said it belongs in the good/perfect/best movie of the year-category, i just said i liked it... most certainly better than last airbender which only good thing was the occasional combat scenes.

    A movie doesnt have to rank top 5 in the world in your mind to make you like it... certainly not mine, i dont hate every movie that mainstream hates... i watch them and then say my opinions on them.
    Some people say that Matrix was a shitty movie trilogy... even after watching the reloaded in the cinema after i left the building i heard some kid say to his friend that it was bad. But they are reviewed very well in the mainstream.


    I like them all...just because i have open-mind doesnt mean i get entertained by movies like Atlantic Rim. (Honestly, go see it... its a shitty version of Pacific Rim)

    Pretty sure it will be the bright, spectacular visual and sound delicious for eyes and ears.
    Listen the orchestral music for WoW. Its epic and give goosebumps. Without any doubts the moviemakers called the same orchestra to make soundtrack for the movie. It will be on par with LotR music, im sure.
    For CGI and Visual Style as was stated on Blizzcon there will be the cooperation between ILM specialists and the guys from Blizzard Visual Team, who make the cinematics. So about style, colors and special-effect i dont worry. These guys know what they should do.
    Costumes made by the "Avatar"-designer, so im sure there will be not shitty cosplay style. More details(photos of actors in armor and with weapon) we will get in January when the production start.
    Actors are good for roles in fantasy movie. I dont want to see Robert D.Jr, another comic books or some melodramatic famous actors here.

    As for the story... Lets pray for Duncan Jones who rewrite the script for himself. But at least, the Blizzard approved this script, so i have a good feelings about this movie.

    p.s. And please, dont compare filming of the epic fantasy series with many places, events and win characters from famous company with filming of some average games, which consist of one/two characters who shoot monsters or people, save the queen or beat each other. Its really sound silly.

    I'm not optimistic.

    Personally not fond of the modern treatment of classic franchises. Was looking forward to the Batmans from Legendary, but was let down. Have my hopes up for Godzilla, but as awesome the potential it has, I'm realistic I won't care for it either. Seems like they all the a "blockbuster" treatment that ultimately robs the character from the franchise - making movies to appeal to the masses rather than the fan base, but one ultimately pays better than the other. That is one reason why I do hope Chris Metzen is very hands-on behind the scenes - or at least someone to make sure the movie is true to the character of the franchise - something I think many film makers struggle with.

    It's a movie made after a video game. My feeling that it's going to suck ass is about as strong as my feeling that the sun will rise tomorrow.

    It is completely impossible that the Warcraft movie will suck.

    Really not convinced by the casting at all but I'll wait for the trailer at least before I write it off.

    see it at the movies? most people that play WoW are probably have other sources to view it without spending any money.

    good thing is I think most people (judging on the posts) probably have low expectations considering the history of fantasy movies outside of the Lord of the Rings. I'm not expecting much.
    "you can't be serious!!" - yes actually I am.

    I have low expectations. But then I also have lower hopes - so it may all work out.

    if it becomes about arthas i want it to fail badly.

    I seem to recall the Arthas thing being a rumor before the first war information was released.

    Also, I'm looking forward to it, if not for just Clancy Brown being in it. If he gets to behave anything like he did in Highlander, then I can see him being an excellent orc (his role is not confirmed yet).
