It's hard to believe that a goon would spend money on a movie.

wizard "The dude", who is 1 of 3 plot lines and has contributed nothing meaningful, turns out to be a corrupted warlock or something and was in on the cnospiracy that let the vaguely defined human magic bureaucracy open the gate or something

I "purchased this movie through legal means" and I will watch it eventually. When I'm like super bored I guess? Though you are making it seem like it will be even worse than doing nothing

Maybe I should just jerk off for two hours instead

This would have been the superior choice, and the story of the first two games could be massaged into something that is not retarded poo poo for idiots, which is a fool's errand for any iteration of Warcraft.

i like at the beginning where the orc couple are laying down together and the male is an 800 lbs rhinoceros man and his wife is normal human sized thats some crazy sexual dimorphism for a mammalian species

also how come it starts by saying orcs and humans have always been at war when they clearly haven't been its only been like what maybe 20 years in story time between game 1 and wow?

They could just do the story up to the end of Brood War where Kerrigan tricks and beats everyone and rules the galaxy until SC2 took away her corruption or whatever. god, gently caress SC2

edit: ending at tassadar's sacrifice would be good too

The DBZ fight of game 1 of the 3 games you buy to make 1 whole game between Kerrigan and Zeratul guy pretty much acted as the nail in the coffin for me liking it. Also I felt like they really dropped the ball not making that Matt guy the Magistrate. Pet peeve, but ehhh...

I skipped page 2 and 3. Op why are you buying movies? There's redbox Netflix and prime and Hulu and whatever.

Even if you still decide you must purchase a movie to see it, why are you purchasing movies you do not already know you like through prior viewings?

You deserve your dump mmorpg movie op. You're dumb like it's dumb.

They turn green after they're tainted with evil magic.

Honestly the orc stuff in the movie was pretty good, it's just every time the humans are on screen it gets significantly more boring. I really enjoyed the CG of the orcs, and I feel like they were pretty well acted too.

Moon was such a cool movie, such a surprise when I saw it randomly in theatre. I hate it when they get really cool talents and plant them in front of lovely boring properties like this. James Gunn wasted on guardians and this is just as egregious

Source Code was real good too. Between Moon and Source Code, I had genuine hopes that Warcraft would turn out good too.

It's just the worst. I regret buying it.

I was going to make a Gods of Egypt joke, then I realized I legitimately rather re-watch Gods of Egypt than watch Warcraft. It's shorter and it's so terrible it's hilarious.

I've heard the Disappointments Room is the shittiest movie of the year from numerous sources, though

Moon was awesome, and more people need to see it.

And Gunn was not wasted on Guardians. Gunn injected his style into what would have been a very by the numbers Marvel movie and made a pretty fun one. I for one am happy to let the guy have some mainstream success, he's done some solid movies before.
