This is a Warcraft I plotline redone so the humans are evil. Nothing about world of warcraft, which is like 50 years later on or something.

I like good CGI. Blizzard's cinematics are awesome, hopefully they can keep it up throughout a full length movie.

I am getting really tired all of this Black Lives Matter propaganda in every movie.

I'm getting really tired of useless people that feel the need to see a conspiracy around every corner. It's just stupid.

It was a joke. I don't think the creators of this show are conscious of the fact that this movie could be taken that way.

"friendship, destiny, love, chosen one, peace forever, so important"

I am not excited, to say the least.

I mean it is like 10 years too late. If they had released circa 06 to 08 they'd be at the peak of the game hype and it would actually gain some solid momentum.

I expect this to get panned largely in the US but I could see the Asian markets just devouring this.

I just don't trust anything that's been passed through so many hands. It hasn't been made for years and years for a reason, so I really don't expect much.

Why do they all talk like Batman?

Before Bale took on Batman he apparently rolled Orc on an RP server. That's just how Orcs talk. If that's Varian Wrynn in there he has no excuse.

Should have done one of the books about the Dragons instead. I'm hoping this does well at least over seas so I could get a sequel that might get into that part of the story.

The lore and stories in Warcraft are pretty solid but I'm not sure how well they'll translate to a non involved media form. The Arthas plot line is just brutal but you gotta get the world built and stage set before just jumping into that... not really I guess. I'd imagine more people on boarded into Warcraft with 3 than the first 2 but for films with a mass market release you have to consider the audience knows nothing of the world.

Edit. I think best case scenario this runs up sub numbers for a year or two and maybe we get Warcraft 4 which amounts to a highlight reel game of an RTS which covers the plot of WoW over a couple expansions and they let WoW decide if it's going to stay around and by that I mean finish the current plot lines and let the game fade. Although I don't see it happening since they still have a few million subs churning out $15 a month active or otherwise. I mean even 100k subs that's 1.5 million a month... I can't see it dying until it's under 500k a month and even then it's still profitable just look at FFXI and it's still rolling although fading.

Zero interest. Maybe if I played warcraft I would understand what this is supposed to be about. But I have zero interest based on what is shown.

World of Warcraft actually has a very long and involved backstory that has been evolving for a decade. I'm often amused that everyone thinks for sure this will suck because there's a ton of backstory to draw from and Blizzard really isn't that bad at relating this story in their games.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. People here are so jaded they think every movie produced now sucks even before it's been released. It's like listening to a room full of 75 year old men talk about how lawn care products were so much better 50 years ago.

My novel approach to movies is to actually wait until the movie is released before I pass judgement. Crazy, right?

Former WoW player - I think this will suck due to bad acting, bad dialogue, and laughably bad CGI.
