Average to those that like fantasy.
Those that like and paid attention to the lore of the game enjoyed it.
Critics who don't know a damn thing about it obviously didn't enjoy it, but of course their opinions mean fuck all, so there's that.

Can't wait to see how they do tides of darkness + beyond the dark portal, mount hyjal and the frozen throne.

Mother sets her baby adrift down the river in a hostile land? WTF... really... in a woven basket even.

Damn... read the book... watch the movie.. or just get someone to preach it too you... how baby moses came to be... etc.

:rofl: shit, people think I am old and senile, can't wait to show these two responses in all in the resthome. NOTE: when you all get there to laugh at your posts.[/QUOTE]

No shit that's the story of Moses but it's just how the books and story line went so they did it in the movie.

Just watched this movie... it was above average... I don't like the game, nor do I play it, so, my response is based on the graphics, movie and basically the writing of it... only thing I hate about it... the Moses aspect of the movie... come on... the orc baby is Moses... does that mean that all the orcs are hebrews?

Watch the movie to identify where I am coming from.


yea, the warcraft lore writers draw from other real life events as well

So, the book writers never read the bible or never knew about Moses... illogical thinking there don't you think? Mind you, for all we know, the writer intentionally did the Moses thing because it helped with the story for future episodes.

I didn't say that the Moses story to be real life events... to me it is just a story, just like this movie.

So... hmmm... you believe the bible is true and accurate? Which one do you believe, the Book of Mormon? maybe the Christian bibles... like the old or new testaments? Anyway... you have fun with that.

You're dense. Of course they're aware. I'm just saying why even note it as anything, it was well known coming in where it's been in the story for 20 years.

Now thrall goes fights as a gladiator for black beard, eventually gets free and raises the orcs. Of course it leads to the next movie.

Story was pretty close to lore.

The gamora actress can't act for shit though, holy fuck she was bad.

I wish there was a way to make Warcraft orcs be not so cgi but considering how they look I guess it is the only option.

The dwarf cgi was atrocious though holy shit.

6/10 considering everything.

8/10 if you ignore the dwarves and gamora.

The cgi for the spell casting and stuff was really cool.

OMFG, did you NOT read my initial post? I have NOT read the books, I don't know the fucking story of the 20 years you are talking about or ever played the fucking game, my initial statement is based on a person that has watched the
movie, enjoyed it, but thought the fucking writers were moronic when using the "Moses" aspect. What the fuck is wrong in that statement? And you fucking call me dense... FFS open your eyes and read.

Shit, here is the crutch of my original post:
Good movie, nice graphics and CGI etc... storyline was decent... don't like the scene that is basically from a religious movie based around Moses being cast into the river in a flax woven basket. blah, blah blah. [Not fucking hard to comprehend is it!!!]

If I paid more attention to lore when I played through the Warcraft trilogy campaigns I would probably have liked it slightly more.

I know the Starcraft/Diablo lores really well though


im pretty sure its more about world of warcraft univers than warcraft

No. The movie pretty much covered the first war (first warcraft game) and didn't even touch world of warcraft.
