Warcraft's shots are too quick and it's editing is horrible. Travis Filmmel is trying to replicate his Vikings performance, but again, the camera work is poo poo. I'm enjoying the movie though because I know the original vanilla campaign like the back of my hand. Costumes and sets are excellent BTW, and so are the CGI characters.

Vanderdeath posted:Canonically, the Azeroth side of the Portal is supposed to be just as big but they probably didn't want to make the resources for it in Vanilla and it just stuck. it's a good technical innovation. I remember older games where if the portals/teleporters/etc weren't exactly the same size on both sides the game couldn't work out where to put you and you died

All this is dumb though, because canonically Medivh opened the Dark Portal in a swamp while being attacked by a bunch of magical time warped dragons lead by big dragon boss whose name is suspiciously the same name of a different dragon boss only backwards, and a little gnome warlock ran around CORRUPTING them while a big blueberry ran interference so that warlock could grab the key to his magical tower and then get 10 of his friends together so he can beat up "Romulo" and "Julianne" in a big ghost opera Also canonically that gnome warlock shows up at every other important point in Azeroth's history as well. They should make a movie about that little guy

but when they opened it in the good game it's just a bunch of humans standing around and the gate isn't very big.

Granted, it's a stupid excuse to see the opening of the Dark Portal. Movie-related, I kinda dug how the opening of the Portal on Azeroth's side was parallel to the ground. Made it a slight bit trippier and weirder in that you couldn't just walk casually through.

The voice treatment for the orcs was a weird choice. "Hey voice actor, just talk all rough and wheezy, and do it through a desk fan like your Tommy Boy doing a Darth Vader impression."

Warcraft was was released for streaming yesterday and I made the mistake of purchasing it. Thinking of asking Amazon for my money back because it is horrendously bad. Just an assault on all the senses and stupid to boot.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:The voice treatment for the orcs was a weird choice. When Guldan is soulsucking while talking the other orcs should be "SORRY WHAT? COULD YOU SPEAK UP? DABU." What a weird movie. The orc stuff is good, but all the human stuff was awful. Lothar acts like he's permanently hammered, the Warcraft aesthetic does not lend itself to real life armor and masonry, and while the movie can't be blamed, it's hard to take King Jesse and Queen Tulip seriously. Even if you've played Warcraft, it's ridiculous how most of the movie is characters meeting only to talk about what location they'll go to next. And the king telling Garona to kill him in order to save him, gently caress me. That's some contrived bullshit. edit: wait, Travis Fimmel is Australian? From his bizarre accent, I figured he was Polish or something. At one point he turns the words "our priority" into a single, long sylable. davidspackage fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Sep 30, 2016 |

Since he's in Vikings I guess he's just doing the accent he does in that?

Doing an Arthas movie right would be a singularly depressing experience for the audience. Take a noble paladin/Prince archetype, subject him to multiple cases of terrible poo poo, and watch his inner Pride crack the dude's mind into doing terribler and terribler things. All the while the evil force he's trying to stop is laughing at him.

The next movie is just an hour and a half CGI render of a decent raid group that wipes at the final boss several times until they call it a night.

I purchased the Blu-ray off Amazon. It doesn't state whether it comes with the digital downloads for the Blizz games goodies. Can anyone confirm if all the first print Blu-rays and DVDs include these? Oh and the movie disc I guess.

Finally watched this. Surprisingly enough I agree with most of the reviews: it's not great, but not terrible. While it had many flaws, it didn't have parts that were embarassingly, godawfully terrible like all the video game movies. In fact it had flashes of pretty darn good going on. Good things: (male) orcs and dwarves. Didn't look great at first glance in trailers, but they really came to life. Khadgar, who is a terribly boring character in the games, but who here held the whole movie together. Some really sweet action moments, the kind that bad movies don't get. Effective villain. Beautiful lications. Actually held my attention. Bad: Hectically edited story. Female orcs, particularly the half-human one looked wack. Humans' grotesque wear in general. Preacher Royal Family was badly miscast. Probably fairly hard for a casual non-gaming viewer to care about very much. All in all I'm pretty okay with this movie. I'm wondering which I truthfully liked more, this or Episode 7, and I can't make up my mind.

well why not posted:So forgettable I forgot there was a hook. What was it? The whole movie was a sequel hook. It starts in medias res with a man narrating about the blood vendetta between the Alliance and the Orcish Horde in a scene reminiscent of the opening dream sequence from Warcraft 3. Why the hell they didn't just do a Warcraft 2 story for the movie is beyond me.

You know, if you drop the resolution down to 240, and add in a few artifacts, the bits with the humans would look like FMV cutscenes of a PC game from the nineties. Like if Westwood studios published Warcraft.

Vanderdeath posted:Why the hell they didn't just do a Warcraft 2 story for the movie is beyond me. Blizzard's core problem with this movie was that Warcraft starts with Warcraft 3, but they kinda had to do Warcraft 1 first. But Warcraft 1/2 itself doesn't really fit in with the rest of the Warcraft universe anymore, nor the story the higher ups want to tell. The whole not-all-orcs-are-onboard-with-Guldan subplot comes straight from this. They didn't want the whiplash the games had (The orcs are horrible, evil, bloodthirsty monsters! No, wait, they were highjacked by demons and were actually Noble Savages!), but that complicates the narrative.

Now that I'm pressed, I've forgotten much of it, but the woman orc seeming to betray the humans in order to get the leadership of the horder, coupled with Ragnar thinking she's actually betrayed them and the orc warlock losing the respect of much of the horde. It's not brilliant, but it leaves everyone in a kind of interesting place.

No one would see the human movie because who seriously cared about the dumb human campaign when you could be burning down the world and building skull fortresses on the ruins.

Tender Bender posted:No one would see the human movie because who seriously cared about the dumb human campaign when you could be burning down the world and building skull fortresses on the ruins. Especially since the Human and Orc campaigns in the first game were antithetical to each other, and the Human one doesn't even happen, story-wise. I think the story would've been a lot more interesting if they exclusively followed the Horde, focusing on the tragedy of the non-corrupted Orcs failing to stop the rest of their people from being monsters. We don't need to see humans being aghast at the orcs rampaging, just give us orcs being aghast at Hellscream butchering women and children. It would've made the scene where the green orcs respect the battle between White Dude and Buffed Out Orc Guy more compelling: there's still shades of goodness in the Orcs. We didn't need the humans as protagonists. Humans aren't the protagonists in Warcraft. The orcs that want to avoid being fel corrupted (or those who want to atone for being fel corrupted) are the protagonists.
