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.


They probably could have cut a bit from the movie, like the useless love thing between KitKat and gamora. idk why they even had it, was it to make them be more relatable/likable? Idk whatever the reason it just came off as weird. t wish they had put in more story such as the shadow council or something to flesh out the universe a bit more.

You're a fucking idiot.


:rofl: I touch-type 85 wpm... don't need a tool to do the job.

:rofl: eh looks like he never used swype before


Only tools use tools to try to type because they are just too fucking lazy... really... you find that a comeback.

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.


If you are using a "tool" to autocorrect/surmise the word, it is NOT a typeO, a typeO is when a person makes a mistake in typing that word... example: 'hte' instead of 'the' is a typeO [which you are trying to explain]
So... when ONLY relying on a "tool" to identify the correct word and correctly change it to the USERS intended word fails, it is not a typeO, it is a programming error of that "tool" or "device"

Basically it boils down to simple things: Proof-reading before posting and don't rely on tools for fools.

EDIT: Isn't typing from a phone basically "texting", even if it is on a website? You are still trying to type [text] from the phone, so he could call it "txtO" ... don't have a comeback to that, especially when txting has their own rules to typing.

I think this was the wrong story to start the Warcraft franchise with. Arthas is clearly the most popular character so I would have started with the story of his fall. If 10-15 years from now, after the Warcraft movie franchise has been well-established, they wanted to make some prequels that dealt with Gul'dan opening the dark portal, great do 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?


Its pretty easy to establish the difference between the Frostwolves and the rest of the Horde by showing us how they reacted to invasion battles on Azeroth.

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.


If we were in the movie review business, wouldn't we all be giving the ultra liberal all-female Ghostbusters 10/10?

But without the setup those character choices don't make sense.
