Warcraft (Film) 2016

That was just plain uninteresting to at times really bad.

It may be keeping to the original but the Orc's huge canines were just ridiculous and ruined the entire look of what could have been pretty cool Orcs.

The armor is also in keeping with the game but just looks so bulky and comicbooky (from a lack of a better word) that it just looks out of place and weird.

I honestly don't expect the movie to be a big sucess. It may break even or be a small success but i think i'll pass until word comes through how it actually is before deciding to spend money at the movie theatre or wait for home release.

At this moment i'm not really interested.
 
I am convinced that the orc baby
Thrall
took me out of it a bit but the rest is AWESOME!!! I played Warcraft & play World of Warcraft and know a lot about the IP so I am excited!!! :bolian:

ETA: Just fooling around with numbers the average price of a movie ticket in US is $8.61, the WoW subs is at 5.6 Million (a month) = $48,216,000 wasn't the subs at 12 million at one point? Just with fans this movie should be okay and I am sure plenty of non-fans will see it too. ;)

Yes of course it is Thrall!

Thrall, aka the Green Jesus. It looks like they have finally admitted their religious obsession with him since they have cast him as the green Moses and sent him down the river in his little reed basket.
 
Meh, i still think they should've gone full CGI in the same style as the WoW cinematics...

I think we all wanted an amazing cinematic movie. I'm not sure if it's too expensive? Or they think less people will go to an animation?

Anyway, we are getting something else. I will enjoy it even if it sucks.
 
I hope the actual movie will have women in more significant roles than this trailer did...

Wow, just wow.
That's disappointing considering MMOs are so 100% open to portraying women in all "jobs".

To accurately reflect the female experience in WOW you will have the most crossdressers since Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert.
 
We saw Drakka, Garona and Lady Taria in the trailer as far as women went. It's worth noting that Lady Taria is a new character, King Llane Wrynn's wife who previously was never mentioned and did not exist in game, leading to years of speculation as to who was the mother of Varian Wrynn, current King of Stormwind in game. So they retconned one woman into it, I suspect there will be more. Garona Halforcen is going to have a big role I'd imagine.

That's maybe because MMO's have embraced women as equals (despite teenagers and immature men still trying to use MMOs as places to get off or as a dating pool) because they are paying customers and many women formerly totally uninterested in videogames have picked these up and play them regularly.

Movie producers are still stuck in the era of "Action movies are for guys and women are nice decoration" mostly so i have little hopes for female characters being the equals both on power and screen time as their male leads.
 
Garona is the embodiment of fan service, and I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing.

I have her action figure which came out several years ago.

Maybe we'll finally get a definitive on her race. I wish they would just go with the half draeneii but they might retcon it for the movie. I think she is the only legendary follower you can get in Garrisons? Well, Horde ones.

So this seems to be the second trailer for the movie..
