I congratulate you on skipping GB2016.

Oh yeah I did skip that movie.

if you cut out khadgar being like a patronized 20 year old, the constant repetition of trying to explain everything to the audience who never played any of the games, and then cut out the confusing story jumping and the romance

then you'd have a pretty good warcraft movie

maybe they'll do like a 'tolkien edit' of the film for true fans, except it'd be about 39 minutes long


My favorite part was how everyone kept whispering about the Fel like there was some big puzzle that needed to be put together but we knew literally everything we needed to know about the Fel from the first five minutes of the movie.

Can someone spoil it for me? I don't plan on seeing it.

So the evil orc wizard Rasputin makes a magic portal powered by death that lets the orcs come to the human world. The orcs are fleeing their dimension (planet? It's not clear if the orcs live on another planet in our universe or a parallel version of the human world) because it was too polluted by death magic to live in anymore. Then like a bunch of fighting happens because the orcs make war on the humans. Nothing else is important in the movie.
Oh and the good wizard is actually bad.

How much did you spend on it?

$20.00 or something.

I enjoyed it

It was as dumb as my videogames, including the boss with red circles you're not supposed to stand on

Felt like a Lord of the Rings but for retards, which I enjoyed

The Sylvester Stallone Judge Dredd was dumb fun that was so stupid it was good. The Warcraft movie is poo poo garbage that's been carefully focus grouped to polish out any possible hint of cheeziness that could be enjoyed ironically.

Don Tacorleone posted:

What was so bad about it OP?

Every line of dialogue made me cringe. The characters all talk like it's old times, but they also possess a sense of postmodern irony that comes across really awkward and out of place every time it comes up. The acting is terrible and the cinematography is almost, but not quite as slipshod as the Last Airbender movie. Characters keep running from place to place and scene to scene and it feels like the majority of the movie is them rushing to get to a battle, then rushing through the battle as quickly as possible so they can visit the next location. The foreshadowing that the kid wearing the bath towel is going to be the next boss wizard is so ham-fisted it's a wonder why they even bothered to dance around it instead of just having Merlin say "the kid with the bath towel is going to be the next wizard" directly into the camera.

Also, why are all the female orcs skinny supermodels with tiny teeth? I mean, I know why, because fanservice, but come on. I love fanservice and I hated this because it looks like crap. It's lazy. Lazy and lovely. This whole movie is a disgrace.

My sister pointed out that it must take each orc literally hours to get dressed every morning because each individual item of armor, skin, bone, and leather is individually fastened.

I spent $20.00 on the Warcraft movie and immediately regretted it because some of the female characters are too hot.

They weren't even hot, that's the sad thing. They were just supposed to be hot because, like everything else in the movie, they were bland focus group trash.

And anyway, the female orcs were the least of my problems with the film. The terrible dialogue, sloppy editing and in your face CGI nonsense easily ruined the film long before a bunch of boardroom cowards handed over the character designs to a bunch of emotionally stunted permavirgins who are scared to show a woman with a little meat on her bones.

I feel bad for the director because his first movie was good and then he makes this and his wife gets cancer and then his dad died of cancer. Also, suicide squad was way way worse.

I still haven't seen suicide squad, but I believe you.

The entire movie was like a long Blizzard cutscene on fast-forward mode.

You know I used to think Blizzard cutscenes were really hot poo poo back when I was fourteen, and watching modern cutscenes makes me think "man, Blizzard has really gone downhill" but actually I bet that Blizzard has actually always been bad.

No by playing World of Warcraft for a few months back in 2006

For real though orc hottie protagonist was a qt, maybe I should buy the movie

She was a cutie and the only one to get a pass from me because she's half human so she at least has an excuse for being petit.

Idgi can't everyone complaining about all of these horrible nonsensical plotless cg crapfests just turn off the TV and read books instead?

All the books I read are about wizards and once you get through the like, four good books there are about wizards, you start to lose motivation.

Does this mean more films will have extra scenes to discuss how great Chinese things are? Like in Iron Man 3 where the surgeon that saves Tony Stark's life has a phone call about how great milk in China is?

A great example of the kind of poo poo pandering you get to Chinese audiences is the entirety of the James Bond film: Tomorrow Never Dies.

They'd just invented the gun at the beginning of the movie but by the end the entire army has guns and knows how to use them? Also, it's really difficult to track the passage of time in the movie. Does it take place over a week? A month? A year?

We watched the second half last night and it was equally as bad as the first half.
