>give orcs WoW proportions >leave humans normal human proportions instead of WoW proportions
at one point an orc picks up a whole warhorse, lifting it overhead, and throwing it like a ranged weapon. like, there's fricking no way dude. humans don't stand a chance. what a stupid design choice.
if I were in charge we would have gotten something like the panda cinematic but longer.
universal studios scrapped that idea because they insisted having real actors besides cgi creatures like the avengers did
The movie came 10 years too late
Blizzard execs loves their shit lore so much they made it about a 20 year old RTS instead of one of the many (2) popular expansions to their fading MMO.
They made orcs too sympathetic, which is a problem when you are doing a war fantasy movie in a dogshit generic setting. It's not vietnam, make it B&W /good vs evil.
They catered to autists too much when they would have gone even if it was a Pandaria movie and you had to watch it twice from horde and alliance POV.
It was boring and a bloated mess, and they wasted everyone's time. The actors, the director (doesn't direct anymore), and the million asiatics who animated this product.
orcs arent sympathetic, thats one of the only good things they did right in the movie. they are demon worshiping/part demon alien invaders there to kill everyone and take over the planet and run it into the ground
They should have just went big and jumped straight into the Lich King arc, the kind of shit that non-Warcraft fans love - good guy going down the road of evil, doing the wrong thing for the right reasons and transforming into something his past self would have hated.

Then why did they frick up so many fundamental elements of that story?
I'm a huge fan of the Warcraft universe and I couldn't get through it - a lot of flash and jumping around. I may have been sick with a fever or something when I watched it, but despite knowing the backstory I couldn't follow. Maybe I'll give it another chance on a rainy day.
it's good but it's not even the Warcraft story and the art style between humans and orcs could have been better. they either need to figure that out better or they just need to make a full length cinematic because the cinematics are $
Loved every orc scene, lots of fun and memorable interactions. Everything on the human side, except not-Ragnar who is obviously enjoying himself by hamming it up, was utter shit. Both king Llane and Kadghar had terrible stiff actors who ruined every scene they're involved in.
Oh and I forgot about the whole Garona romance, holy shit what were they thinking?
i liked it, as someone who played the shit out of WC3+WoW vanilla-tbc-wrath, i didn't actually understand alot of the plot going on, that was a big problem, because if i didn't know who half the characters were, and what their motivations were, the audience were gonna be hopeless there.
But i did really like the Orc origin story arc, the dark portal was amazing, and the finale, it was good shit, and im pretty sure it made money too, a sequel would have done much better tbh. Thankfully the chinks saved the budget so there's a faint hope of a sequel.
Dogshit cringe acting
Probably because of the terrible acting and everything not involving the orcs.

WoW ruined Warcraft. If they'd gone with the classic design of WC orcs they wouldn't even need CGI
because half the film looks like a warcraft sex spoof
i don't understand the problem
Terrible part of the story to start, terrible writing along with terrible acting all around from the human side. Probably Ben Foster's only bad role.
Paula Patton is a complete semen demon though

I never watched it because I know I'll like it and they're never making another.

Orcs are supposed to be sympathetic in wow lore
It was okay, certainly much better than I anticipated
They rewrote the story for no reason

It was solid and better than expected cause they could've really ruined the source material. The humans using tactics to fight orcs was heroic
it's good but it's not even the Warcraft story and the art style between humans and orcs could have been better. they either need to figure that out better or they just need to make a full length cinematic because the cinematics are $
not even the best Warcraft story*
it's a prequel and nobody besides me and a couple other oldgays even played the first WC
Because it catered to the mentally moronic WoW audience.

oh yeah, the forced romance and racemixing overtones was extremely cringe. They could have cut all that. Worst part of the film by a mile.
DUDE HORDE VS ALLIANCE LMAO
ALSO LOOK WE MADE THE BLOOD ELVES ASIANS TO CATER TO THE CHINK MARKET SINCE WE KNOW asiaticS LOVE BLOOD ELVES

I thought she was kinda pretty and I'm not even a /tg pervert
It was a shit movie
It was a shit Warcraft movie
Literally made to cash in on the Marvel Cinematic Slopiverse, then they bailed when this flopped
