Just Seen the Warcraft Movie

[nanook12]

It was shit. They base it off of the RTS Warcraft orcs and humans instead of World of Warcraft. In my experience, only a small fraction of people played Warcraft compared to how many played World of Warcraft. Not many give an ass damn about Warcraft the RTS, people wanted to see World of Warcraft the movie and Blizzard failed to deliver. You only see 3 classes in the entire movie warrior, mage, and warlock and all of the other races are barely noticeable. Undead and tauren are not in the movie at all. You are going to be staring at orcs and humans a lot. Beyond that I think the story line was shit even if they did hold true to the lore, and Durotan was just played horribly.

4/10 just because the special effects were okay. It's a junk movie be wise, save your money, don't go see the it, and remember wow in a better light.

Let the flames begin.

This post is stupid.

So you went in wanting WoW: The Movie, when they've said all along that the movie was based on the first WC game/initial contact.

Sounds like a 'you' problem more than a 'movie' problem.

Color me shocked!

Edit: Cannot shake my head enough at the rest of the post either.

Blizzard should know the majority of their audience better than that. Not many care about Warcraft RTS.

Pretty sure this board has a film sub section for you to post your rant.

Could you imagine a movie based off the WoW story, first movie "Molten Core".... The end? Or do they go to a second raid? :O because it doesn't actually get any better. The story in WoW moves at such a terrible pace that most people would die from old age waiting for some action.

WoW the movie, Thrall stands in Orgrimmar! For the bored!!

I think you went in with the wrong expectations. There couldn't have been tauren and undead or even night elves because all that is third war stuff. As far as staying true to WoW, I found most of what you see on screen is an adaptions of what we've come to know in WoW not the old RTS.

That being said, I'll never understand Blizzard's obsession with orcs. WCIII is what really put Warcraft on the map and a lot of people started playing WoW because of how much they loved that game and not the previous titles. Shame we'll probably never see the story of Arthas come to life but this movie is already over-stuffed as it is for the general audience, so I see how they couldn't have made WCIII comprehensible to the average viewer without first setting up the world itself.

Oookey... Hope this is trolling.. But I will bite This has to be the stupidest view on the movie I have seen.
The name is warcraft. Not World of Warcraft. Of course they will follow the chronology of the warcraft series. To some extent.

My only regret of their approach to it is that they are trying to tell to much in to little time.

I wish they had made a movie or two about the orcs coming under Gul'dan's influence and destroying their world. The movie could swap between that and some alliance squabling to get both sides.

Anyway. I was very much entertained during the movie and my vote is a solid 7/10.

Looking forward to a sequel or 20 of them and during the 12'th or so you will see your precious Tauren

It's almost as if, and bear with me for a second this is pretty mind blowing, the movie is named "Warcraft" instead of "World of Warcraft". As for the rest of your post, just because you didn't want to see a movie about the RTS game doesn't mean everyone else didn't either. Warcraft was a game long before WoW ever existed, and was extremely popular long before then as well.
