without knowing they could make another movie I don't think it was possible to make a 2 and a half hour movie and lay as much ground work as needed.

Just my 2 cents.

Then again it may have worked for a wider audience if they had tried. but I played wow and had an idea what was going on even with the numerous changes they made, I liked it.

Love how none of you are in the entertainment business but talk like you are. As much as it was rushed it was decent. Just hope it gets better and stop your bitchin.

Actually, most of the posts in this thread were in agreement that it was decent.

Ignore jadeoshbogosh because he doesn't like anything. :wub:




As movie viewers, we don't have to be in the movie business to critique movies that were made for us.

Everyone with a brain new this movie was going to be terrible.... the only people I've heard proclaim it's greatness are idiotic teenagers on social media who also think Overwatch is a revolutionary game. Just another big budget movie that catered to a very specific audience (stupid people) and it hit it's mark. Honestly, with how bad it all was, they should have just said fuck it and had Michael Bay direct it.


Guess with that spelling you don't exactly have a brain either... don't give out shit with daft errors like that.

The game sucks, I didn't read the books [if any]... why the fuck would I try to have a clue to people that like the game, played the game, read the books and agree with their mentality... I wouldn't and I don't, the movie was fine for what it was... just a typical movie based off of a game... shit it isn't rocket science is it.

Basically your comments are based on social media, how about getting a real brain and get off the social media, all it is, is just people bitching and moaning about one thing or another, or just taking the shit out of other people they think are stupid because they don't have a clue or sense of their upbringing or consequences.

He wasn't arguing with me, thus I was not arguing.

Well they completely ignored the shadow council so that fucks over a lot of Warcraft lore. The time they doesn't trying to give granora a shitty personality and love plot would have been better spent on the council.

Also fuck the guy who said the games are bad. Wc1+2+3+tft are some of the best games ever made.

character development was a little weak. that was actually my first gripe when i was discussing my thoughts on the film afterwards. (still freaking loved it though)
it's hard to say why they did this, but really i think in a 2 hour film that they were hoping would appeal to non-warcraft fans as well as fans, they had to cram in more action for the non-fans, and maybe just rolled with the idea that the fans already knew the characters well enough.
i really think it's just a time thing. i mean think of future films and how many crucial lore characters are yet untouched... would be a stupidly long movie to develop them all. i think they will settle with just establishing kind of the heart of each character and what drives them, then spend the rest of the time on action and historical motions.

What the hell do you mean by saying this: "The time they doesn't trying.." in your sentence? Do you mean "Don't try..."? or "The time they try..." Shit, no wonder you play a shit game that is as old as what... Dungeons and Dragons... oh wait, that was better to play than Warcraft sitting around with dice and actually having fun with real live people.

Sorry to say it, but Warcraft sucked, it was boring, shit even Civilization 1 was better to play.
