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.


Omg you found a typo, turns out swype fucks up, who would have guessed. Obviously I meant "the time they spent". I know you have a hard time using your brain but still please try to use your brain.

I've read the books and lore.
Grew up playing the first games..
But seriously they really rushed this film, should've been an extra 40 minutes so there could be some character development...

It was just, awful. The film itself was alright. I really had to TRY the entire film though... i really had to force my inner child out..

3/5 for sure


Game to movie never really translates as well or develops like you want it too, you have 2 hours to try and translate 20 hours of game/book history this was basically a launch off of the franchise if it does well we will see more then a trilogy.

How do you type-O "the time they spent" to "The time they doesn't" ... it isn't a typeO like you say it is, it's just a feeble excuse you made up. Just like the game, a poor excuse for entertainment. Give up, go back and play with it to appease your loss.

Movie was just what it was, a movie, even enjoyable by others that don't know anything about the game or lore... entertainment only.

It's a typo because your hands are typing faster/slower than your brain so you skip words in your sentence.
It's not like he doesn't know how to form a basic sentence so obviously it's a mistake. And that's what a typo is... a typing mistake.

In his scenario it's a typo because his phone program changed it. A typing mistake caused by swype.

Not all typos are from accidentally mixing a couple ltteers.

What needed to be cut was almost the entire opening sequence on Draenor. They could have probably spent 2 minutes showing Gul'dan draining the souls of the draenei and activating the portal, then have the expeditionary force go thru and start the movie there. You could have probably saved 30 minutes doing that.

Except the start was important to show the difference between the orcs and the fell orcs, set up durotan as a reasonable/likable orc chieftain. Show the death that the fell causes to the world. Introduce and hint at the dreanei war without actually spending time on it. Basically it sets up the entire movie, and having it make sense instead of just being random as fuck scenes that last for 2 hours.

But yeah cut it, who needs plot right?

Movies have a better chance of thriving with longer run times. Cutting scenes only reduces success (in most cases), as blah pointed out.





I can never understand why people don't enjoy longer movies. It's not like 2 hours is a long movie at all either.
