    I absolutely love the CGI orcs. Reminds me of their cinematics which are amazing. I wouldn't mind if the entire movie was like their cinematics but either way, it looks alright. I don't really want to see it because of what seems to be like bad acting but in terms of looks I love it.

    A retcon would mean the movie is part of the WoW canon. It's not.

    Interesting point... but sadly for you, no. Am I salty about not getting to play an unfinished game that is set to release in a few months and that more Beta invites will be going out within the coming weeks? No. Are you?
    The same story can be told in many ways. Being mad at a story because it isn't the story you wan't to be told is childish. Some elements of different stories lend themselves to different forms of expression better than others.

    While I can understand people wanting Warcraft 1's story to literally be transposed onto a big screen, I'm very excited to see Duncan Jones' interpretation.

    Orgrim to be portrayed as the brutal ruthless killer that he was instead of a goody two shoes that tricked all the other orc leaders into him not having to drink the felblood, and for him to kill Blackhand the way it was supposed to go down. Not this Lothar + Frostpals storyline that they are now pushing. This movie basically ignores that fact that they brutally murdered and disfigured the Draenei population by making Durotar and Orgrim look like they are on a camping trip and not in the middle of what would be similar in context to Germany invading Europe.

    The way they wrote the characters from what I have seen you would think they are all suffering from dementia, or at least all are suffering from a concussion and are confused why they are there.

    This.

    I was not too sure after watching the trailers, but these clips make me quite positive about the movie.

    Yea it looks cheesy. Warcraft IS cheesy =P

    I agree the last clip show a much more interesting / deep acting on the orcs side, but then again most of the scenes they showed with humans don't really have much of an opportunity to do anything similar. It may or may not represent the rest of the movie on the humans side, but even if it does, it still looks pretty entertaining to me =P

    I'd much more quickly believe it was Travis' lack of passion for the project that can ruin his character more than "they" doing anything to him. Seems he's not even trying to do anything much different from what he does in Vikings.

    how can you judge bad acting on 2.5 minutes of clipped scenes? IMO Lothar and Medivh were great, as well as Durotan and Orgrim. There wasn't enough content with the other actors to sufficiently judge their acting as poor or excellent...

    So, you are salty over no beta invite and no Griselda in the movie. Check.

    Its the dull way they say there lines, doesn't feel like there is a lot of feeling in a lot of those scenes. I don't read comic books or even care about the marvel universe but when I see ironman (RDJr) he has a presence. None of those scenes had a presence.

    First of all the story has been rewritten so many times since the original game. And a lot of it needs to be changed to fit a movie and Duncan has even admitted certain things is changed, but nothing has changed dramaticly from the base story. It is still the first encounter between humans and orcs

    Sure it can be told in many ways, but this movie is not the same story. It is one altered and tainted, like Warlords of Draenor.

    Interesting conclusion. Tell me, do you find it hard to understand simple logic and so you see your answer to the question as the only one?

    So you mean to say Durotan and Orgrim never drank the demon blood and joined the Human forces in EVERY iteration of the story? Then why is Thrall green if his parents are not when he is born???

    The majority of people who've seen the movie said it was really good.

    Nothing has changed dramatically... except!

    -Thrall/Durotar/Draka/Frostwolves appearance (Major part of the movie)
    -Cities not involved in the original story appearing (Dalaran)
    -Orgrim not killing Blackhand and seizing control of the Horde
    -Orgrim not drinking Felblood

    Nothing major but right.

    Exactly what @TheDestinatus said. I like Travis fimmel, his work in Vikings is wonderful. I wasn't specifically targeting anyone, I was making a generalized statement. If I were to speak about the acting I'd be worried about the king (doesn't feel like one or look like one, at least not what I'm used to from past movies) and maybe Khadgar but I haven't seen enough of him yet. I have no idea how Fimmel is going to do as Lothar but we'll see.

    As for the orcs, I agree. 10/10 job with them imo. Don't forget we've also seen other clips, not as long as these but all together id say it leaves enough room to judge some acting.

    (some)People on this forum have been judging this movie when all we had was blurry camera photos of screens. Do you even know what you are asking!?

    Your opinion is your opinion, one with which many disagree. You're judging a book before you've even read 75% of the content.

    Doomhammer never drank the blood he knew something was up and said it would be rude to drink as an equal to his chieftan and Warchief.

    Totally! Nothing major! In fact, I see nothing wrong with it behind these rose-tinted goggles reinforced with aluminum foil!

We'll see.
    The Humans are just too human! They shoulda been CGI'd like the orcs, a-la 300, but slightly broader shoulders.

    I know for a movie 7/10 maybe isn't that great.....

    For a video game movie, anything above 5/10 is fucking ground breaking lol

    And there is were the "lore purists" always fall, by not truly knowing the lore. Yes, Durotan and Orgrim never drank the blood in every iteration of the story.

    Heck, I doubt you even know how Griselda is without checking WoWhead (I loved that mission when I was 11).
