[Movie] Warcraft (June 2016)

[Deleted]

And honestly call me weird but I don't see the "calm" LOTR tracks into the Warcraft franchise. Now, regardless of how rushed this movie generally felt, I always knew Warcraft was going to be much more fast paced than that.

There are plenty calm tracks in Ramin's score already lol Bruh you gotta listen to the WC3 ost http://imgur.com/J3WHS6a

The most memorable soundtrack from LOTR are coming from relatively calm moment on the movies, like passing through a mountain, or walking across an open valley, or during small skirmish and discussions.

LOTR's soundtrack is on a league of its own. So much amazing music.

its makes me tingle in all my fun places to know what some of us already knew about this thing called a movie...


the only place you see "good" reviews is in mmo... everywhere else is torn apart

There are good reviews from all over Europe, many already posted on this same thread.

How can you win when winning means that someone loses? I feel really sorry for you, I do.

I actually did care about Llane. Just by the fact that he'd rather die than having Garona suffer or die herself is very heroic. If he didn't let her kill him, she would probably had died herself.

I feel that Garona's arc was handled better than in the actual lore when it comes to that moment. I mean, I was expecting to see Llane die, but I was pleasantly surprised by him willingly sacrificing himself to save her. It was a really clever way of handling both of their arcs without resorting to the mind control thing from the original.

And twitter, and facebook, and reviews' website from each countries where it's actually already release (http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefil...lm=129526.html -> for France, as an exemple)

Yeah, this would do, just something to slow the pace a bit. Nothing wrong with a little break to get the know the characters better and connect with them.

Yep, when I saw the scene where they're on horses, departing to the DP at night, I thought "yes, we're going to see some country". But nope, only some mountains where they put a campfire for the shortest discussion ever. That's a shame because that started so well.

It is more the other way around. A lot of positive reactions all over the place while the negative stuff is concentrated onto websites like Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes.

Ohhh edgy! I am almost triggered...Then again, MMOC also has you so it can't all be "goof"..

Scatman John?

Guilty as charged, sir :P

Dec 30th has always been used as a placeholder date. The blu-ray steelbook does look great though!

Holy Shit. That looks Amazing!

Yes, because you're a Warcraft fan. And that kind of death for him is actually not at all a GoTian death. It's the exact opposite - a character sacrificing himself for someone else and succeeding, thus becoming a hero. A GoTian death for him would've been something like him trying to save her and in the process somehow causing the fall of Stormwind by, say, not being there at its defense (I haven't actually watched the movie, by the way), causing a fall in morale and panic. In the process of saving her, he dies. But also, so does his city. That's GoT for you. No, actually, GoT is sometimes even more cruel, but yeah, you get my point.

Welp, seems like I'll have to leave this thread until 8th of June. Not much left for me here.

Didn't work out well eh? :P

I said "calm LOTR tracks" not "calm tracks" in general. I referred to a specific style. I'm aware people don't fight for 2 hours non-stop. But you know, different movies, different composers. And lol I don't know what WC3 has to do with this anyway.

Besides, the point that seems to slightly flying over people's heads is that the tracks are strictly dependent to the pacing of the movie itself. The film is not going to feel any less rushed by just putting long and extensive "calm" songs all over the place, it would just look awkward. At most, the movie had to be edited differently and being overall longer, if that's what you wanted. Than, consequently, a different kind of tracks would have fitted.

The cast is exceptionaly untalented and bad. The rest is okay. The story is somewhat crumpled and unclear for casual viewer. All I can say about the movie. 7/10 because I'm hopeless Blizzard fan.

[Frozen Death Knight]

In regards to the soundtrack and designing the music around the movie, that is actually what the Lord of the Rings did with the theatrical releases and the Extended Cuts. The composers for the trilogy had to change the soundtrack and extend it because the original music no longer fitted into the pacing of the extended versions of each movie. They went into a lot of detail in the behind the scenes about the production. I recommend looking them up.

Oh I understand utterly. But to be honest, if I don't manage to play WC3 at least one more time before that happens I'll hardly remember anything of that game, music included xD

Right, now I'm wondering if any themes were composed for these hypothetical quiet parts that were removed. Although I guess they would have been included in the OST, wouldn't they?

Well they stopped discussing whatever it is they were discussing in spoiler tags right after I said that, so, you know...

But yeah, I never really was serious. I'll leave when people stop using spoiler tags.

Well, that would be way too close to GoTs than Warcraft is likely intended to be.

Well, those two quotes of mine has a lot to do with each other, indeed.

It could be, it could not. I don't know, I have to see this movie in the first place xD

I heard all the tracks but that alone doesn't say much to me.

Edit: oh you intended tracks out of the OST. Heh, I don't think there'll be more than that. Then again, the OST is not the exact reflection of everything heard in the movie, but what's major is put there.

(Sorry, I'm falling asleep and I can barely read anymore).

When are you seeing the movie?

I'm Italian, so it's not going to be a thing here until the first of June. I'll probably go watch it some day after that.
