The orcs look good and have real weight but Lothar still sticks out like a sore thumb with his knockoff Paul Rudd vibe.

The thing that stands out for me from that short clip is how calm the camera is. It makes the action easy to follow, but it also doesn't feel very tense despite people getting killed all over the place. As if it's a training exercise.

There's 2h hammers that small in WoW! (and one handed ones that are pretty drat tiny) (And if that hammer head was made of steel it'd probably weigh about 50kg)

That long panning shot was pretty bad but other than that I thought it worked well. It feels like a training exercise more because the guy literally gives the kid advise in battle.

I also found the tone of that scene extremely jarring. We've just seen somebody getting their head viscerally crushed with a war hammer and then moments later that knight is giving the kid advice on how to fight better. Given the amount of violence the situation seems hopeless and I'd think that the characters would be a lot more upset and focused on surviving rather than pausing to deliver advice on fighting technique. Having really visceral violence but letting the characters behave as though the fight has low stakes makes for a very confusing an awkward tone.

My friend went to a free screening at Universal yesterday and said it was terrible. He didn't offer up much more than that. Though this friend also tends to not like most things so take that with a grain of salt.

Have you watched a super hero movie lately? Or even the new Civil war movie? They were smack talking and laughing all throughout their giant battle against each other. It's kind of par for the course these days to help ease the tension of whats currently going on.

The weird bit is that they are clearly losing and their comrades are actively dying around them. Their is a tonal disconnected there that isn't in say the Avengers when they're walking over tons of mooks.

I've noticed movies the last few years, especially ones aimed at younger people, to be full of stuff like that, so you never dwell on any negativity, there's always a sarcastic quip or random joke. I doubt it's good for mental stability to raise kids like that.

Even if you decide to write off gameplay mechanics as only gameplay mechanics and not 'real', the amount of ways to raise from the dead in the world of warcraft is pretty huge and being dead is only a minor issue for lots of people.

It's kind of par for the course these days to help ease the tension of whats currently going on. I'm not a huge fan of those movies for the most part but at least the one's I've seen have a more consistent tone. Tony Stark makes quips, but that kind of makes sense because outside of a few very rare occasions the movie never really tries to make you feel as though his life is in jeopardy. The Avengers might occasionally try to save the world and there is some cartoony violence but I can't think of any time during the Marvel movies where somebody got their head brutally crushed by a giant war hammer moments before Tony Stark made a light hearted quip. Having said all that, anything that makes this movie seem like more of a train wreck increases the likelihood I'll eventually pirate it and get drunk watching it with some friends.

The humans get wrecked there and I'm pretty sure most are dead withing 20 seconds of that clip. What good are those words of advice going to do, that kid is surrounded by enemies and all his friends are dead.

Commenting on tone and pacing of an action sequence in a film hardly seems like "over analysis", and I hope you're being ironic when you cite "A Beautiful Mind" and "The Matrix" as examples of smart films that warrant deep analysis.

I think people are underestimating this film. If the marketing is effective and the film isn't bogged down by convoluted lore, it has the potential to be a successful family-friendly fantasy with bright colors and clearly defined good and evil.

Do people even like clearly defined good and evil anymore? Is that even a trope in anything popular anymore? Even in kid's media?
