What is your favorite video game movie?
Coincidentally, it's Warcraft :D but Advent Children for Final Fantasy VII is up there too!
FINAL FANTASY KINGS GLAIVE!!! IT’S SO AMAZING BUT SO SAD 😢!
Saints Row the 3rd
Mortal Kombat (1995)
This one I guess.
Or Ready Player One
That really needs a part 2. A shame we'll never get it. This movie was missing about 45 minutes of footage that the studio made Duncan Jones cut for "reasons." The footage allegedly adds a bunch of story and exposition that helps out some of the problematic narratives. Shame we'll never get a director's cut, as Jones is a phenomenal director.
The narration could have been better but the main problem is the liberty they took changing the lore.
"reasons" being "this must be 2 hours long because we're dumb and it's the 2010s
The movie already had a problem of spending too much time on exposition. Another 45 minutes of it may have fixed some narrative problems, but would only have made the "too much talking" problems worse.
@@Stomaia87 tbf there's too few talking in this movie lol the longest scene is like 2 minutes
I actually think they may have done better if they had told the story from just the human's point of view, as it may have helped market it to newcomers to the franchise. Then if they had managed to get a sequel, switch it up and swap to the orc's perspective for that - the two halves of the war are separate enough that they could have got away with that, and it may have kept the story a little tighter, while also giving . Regarding lore changes, I don't think that's a major issue, it's not like the lore has really stayed consistent all the way through the franchise's lifespan anyway.
This movie wasn't based on Works of Warcraft. It was actually based on Warcraft: Humans vs Orcs. It was a RTS game that came out in 1994. There were two sequels before it got a spin-off in the fire of World of Warcraft. As for the movie itself, I thought it was good, but they tried to squeeze too much in a short time. I think if it has come out after Game of Thrones, it would have been done as a TV series, a format which I think would have suited it better.
Yes! on all counts. Thank you. It's a shame everyone forgets all the work that was done before World of Warcraft (WoW). There were 3 RTS games that were great (for their times) with a lot of storyline that sets the stage for everything people nowadays see.
Never played WoW but wasted many a lunch to the originals in the 90’s.
@@c1ph3rpunk Ogre Mage with Bloodlust wrecked every LAN party.
I hoped someone already commented on this… the movie is based on the Warcraft game.
WC (warcraft) 1-3 (like age of empires, starcraft, command and conquer, etc etc etc, a RTS game series), and then WoW (World of Warcraft, a MMO game, I think) came out
WC1 was really hard... at least for me anyways...
(I think basically WC was ended, because starcraft-broodwar was taking off and also they were working on their diablo games as well, blizzard just abandoned WC, and moved onto their successful newer RTS series of starcraft-broodwar, and instead went with making the MMO world of warcraft, instead of more RTS WC games)
Little cool trivia: at the end, when everyone in Stormwind yells “For Azeroth” at the funeral, that yell was actually a room full of Warcraft fans recorded at BlizzCon. You can find the actual footage during the movie announcement at that convention.
Wait what!? I want a movie credit now, lol
Yes, i was there! In fact theres an interview with me on the dvd credits in cosplay😅 tbf i didnt know what i was doing an interview for until my friend watched the dvd and asked me
Fun fact: when Khadgar is chanting, "From darkness comes light," and the Fel green turns gold, the gold light is a reference to the level up effect in World of Warcraft.
Criminally underrated. I do think it's a bit heavy with characters and side plots but overall it's a damn good movie.
Very underrated movie imo. I love the effects and look of the magic and they even tackled how, in the game, there are cast timers and big spells take a while to actually fully cast so it isn't just 'magic wizard goes kablam with instant fire'. All the little nods WoW easter eggs were such a delight. It doesn't take place on Earth just because there are humans, this is the land of Azeroth. Glad you all checked it out!
Still a shame this never got a sequel. Too many people whined about it even though personally I thought it was really good (it has its issues but it is such a good start for more movies like this)
It did well in China but it did very poorly in the western countries :/
I call those people original addicts, they will whine about any adaption from the original. Because they think their knowledge of the original is something superior and can be shown off to others.
@@FF-bj4nq I think most were WoW generation who whined.
I love that you say "it's following the antagonist," but it's awesome because in game, you can choose "horde" or "alliance" and whichever you choose is the good guys lol. You relate to every character on every side. I think the movie did a good job of portraying that aspect of the games. And as for the orc baby, he plays a VERY important role later. he ends up leading the entire horde for a long time.
Green Jesus ^^
@@qebron actually accurate😂
@@qebronwhat’s the baby’s name?
@@DanielFernandez-gv6iy Go'el was his given name.
However in the games you might recognize him as Thrall and possibly his meme-name wich became "Green Jesus" :3
@@qebron I never played the games, I’ve only seen the cinematics 😅 always been interested but don’t have the time
As someone who was always interested in the lore of Warcraft but too young to play it, this was great. I really wish they had made a sequel.
I was on a 10 hour flight with severe fear of flying the year this movie came out. They had it on the plane and I decided to watch it, to distract myself. I got so hooked that I barely felt turbulences and I remember it fondly. I watched it a second time, on the way home. I liked it a lot and I had no knowledge about the lore or the games although I knew they existed.
The lore is somewhat complex. Medivh became possessed by the Titan Sargaras, who used him to open the portal. Some of this is handled in the Warcraft novel „The Last Guardian“.
One of the instances in World of Warcraft let you play certain parts in the history. One of the events has the players defend Medivh while he is opening the portal.
You can tell that a lot of detail has been put into the movie. Especially the look of Stormwind and Westfall should be instantly recognizable for any Alliance player.
But the Orcs feel oversized in the film. I don‘t think they ever were that much taller than humans in any of the games.
The movie isn‘t perfect, but it certainly isn‘t as bad as some make it out to be. It definitely helps to have some background in the lore.
it`s more like normal life humans of our world and canon orcs. Since most of races of Warcraft are very tall, including humans, like around 2m or more (except gnomes, dwarfs and the rest like them)
The orcs have always been bigger than humans both in game and lore. The in game size of orcs being only slightly bigger is just for a gameplay perspective. The Tauren were the upper tier of how big they could make character models without it being too big to fill the screen(remember, og wow didn’t start with addons that let us draw back the camera super far until much later)
It looks cool but it's not Warcraft (Lore). Like Garona killing the king because he asked her to? What? 😅 And Gul'dan never infected the Orcs with fel in the first place, that was Mannoroth's blood and most of them drank it willingly at that point. And then even smaller things like Lothar + Garona? Why? Idk at least it's not canon officially.
@@onlyfoes
And you’re one of those problem fans that causes us to never get a sequel because it’s “not entirely lore accurate”
It’s not supposed to be, it’s an *adaption* of the story.
You need to watch it with that perspective. It’s not going to fully and wholly relate to the game lore because it’s its own canon.
In the same vain that the MCU is its own canon in comparisons to comic book lore.
@@erickchristensen746 I mean you could say the same thing about the Last Airbender movie tbh and how it was just an adaption (ok that was mean but maybe you see my point here) Look it wasn't really bad as a movie in general, just not Warcraft. As a (WoW) roleplayer that's the most neutral I can be here 😂
the Lore in WOW is EXTREMELY deep and complicated. I feel like it would make an amazing TV series so that people can watch the lore unfold at a pace that people can absorb easier. I mean, if you think of the game fans, we've had many years to watch the lore progress so it's hard to put into a 2 hour movie. But for what it was, i LOVED this movie
The baby is often referred to by the community as Green Jesus. In the game he's voiced by one of the original Warcraft lore creators and writers so he's considered the "self insert", the superman or "Green Jesus" of the world and he can do no wrong. If you want a glimpse who he grew up to be you can look up "WOW Reckoning", he's the dark haired one. It'll have some spoilers but if they ever did continue the movies that'd be like the 8th one :)
Do no wrong besides cheat in a Mak'Gora in his later life too aha.
@@garethlawton5278He didnt cheated. There is nothing against using Magic in a mak'gora in the prime timeline. This was added to the movie, and dont aply to the games Canon.
If you read into his history and as this movie eludes to, he's clearly actually "Green Moses"
Oh wow, I didn't think we'd get a reaction for this one. Being a pseudo fan of War Warcraft III, I was into this getting a trilogy but I knew that it wouldn't do well enough in the box office to warrant it. So this is what we got, for a video game adaptation, it's pretty good! By the way, when the general son is kicking ass, my brother a I were like 'hey he might actually pull through' and then Grom came out and then we were like 'ohhhh that sucks for you buddy, you ain't going to survive this.'
Amazing reaction from the four of you I greatly appreciate it, and also The reason we don’t have a sequel to _Warcraft_ aside from being panned by critics and audiences was due to it’s performance at the Box Office after grossing approx $440 million and failed to reach its break-even point of $450-500 million after global marketing and distribution, even the director Duncan Jones is unsure about a sequel. But recently in September of 2020, Legendary is developing a new _Warcraft_ movie, though it's unknown if it is planned as a reboot or a sequel to Jones' film.
No way, this is the one movie I didn't expect here at all XD but hope you enjoy it!!!
Man, the best thing about the first 3 or 4 warcraft games was clicking on your dudes over and over to hear them get increasingly angry at you for clicking on them. It was genius.
"Grab your sword and Fight the horde!"
"Uncle Lothar wants you!"
"Don't you have a kingdom to run?"
I’m very excited that at you would be doing _Willow_ next Thursday it’s such an amazing under-appreciated fantasy film from Lucasfilm, and I recommend all four of you will hopefully react to the following Fantasy films following _Willow_ such as _Legend, The Dark Crystal, Stardust, Dragon Slayer, Krull, The Princess Bride, Time Bandits, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The BFG,_ and the _Percy Jackson_ films, especially the former two films and the latter films.
I don't listen to music, and so I don't know almost any musician, and only start to know them after their death
I had no idea who David Bowie was until he died
But I knew who his son was
Because his son is Duncan Jones, the director of this movie and SOURCE CODE
It makes me sad they thought WoW was the only part of Warcraft and that the movie was a rushed prequel rather than a slightly altered retelling of the events of the original game. I loved playing Orcs and Humans and especially Tides of Darkness as a kid in the 90s.
LOL yep got my copy from Kmart, we had a Mac and it was the only mac compatible game they had.. wasn't until 09 half way into TBC that I found out they made the MMO.. 14 years later still playing. Waiting for new patch 10.2 to release today. FOR THE HORDE!!
So glad to see one of my favorite reaction channels give this movie a chance. I myself have played all the Warcraft games and I think the story telling is amazing (I have not played World of Warcraft much after Wrath of the Lich King though). I was so excited when they made this movie and I think it is such a shame that it did not do well enough for a sequel.
I have seen some people react to or play through Warcraft (and Starcraft) games to experience the story and they have enjoyed it . I can imagine not wanting to put the time and/or effort into playing a videogame just for the story, but there are some well edited videos out there that you can just watch. I would recommend the ones that also show in game dialogue, since if you only watch the cinematics you will not know what is going on.
Sorry for going off topic a bit there and thanks again for watching this one!
Interesting that you pegged it as a Prequel. Here in Australia, it was titled "Warcraft: The Beginning"
When you realise that this is Travis Fimmel's precursor to Ragnar Lothbrok. And then you realise the director is David Bowie's son, and he also wrote and directed the movie Moon ...
I still think this is a fantastic movie and just narrowly misses my Top 20 films. Longtime WoW player (though I haven't been able to afford the live servers for years), I thought this was a great adaptation of the RTS games that came before. The Orcs are still some of the best CG I've ever seen in film.
Yeah there were a few things they could have done better and it would have been perfect
Also I like to inform to you that the girls reaction to _Shawshank_ and both you and Nobu’s reaction to _Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning_ were taken down by TH-cam due to copyright 3-4 days ago. Sorry to hear what’s been happening with this week’s reactions and that it’s affecting your channel immensely.
I also can’t help but notice that your livestream chat for your Warcraft reaction has a lot less comments than the previous livestream chats you’ve done!
I absolutely love your joint reactions, you're the best as a team! However, Stella's FACIAL EXPRESSIONS are the BEST! I always love how she manages to move her mouth seemingly to just one side, it's so lovely. And this movie made her do this SO much, it was almost worth making this movie for that alone!!!
Also: The costumes and props are made by Weta Workshop (same as Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit), and were for sale via Propstore in a giant auction once. Adam Savage got an entire soldier set. Hell, some of the blades were actually real, because you can't stick foam into the ground by throwing it...
I am really looking forward to this reaction video, I enjoyed this movie a lot . Unfortunately didn't do the business expected and the director Duncan Jones said a sequel may never happen
he's said it won't happen sadly, on twitter a couple years ago if I remember. I was really hoping for one and I loved this movie (but I also played WoW for 8 yrs so already built in fan lol)
Somebody probably already said all this, but Just in case:
This movie tells the story of WarCraft 1, wich is cronologically 30 years before World of WarCraft starts.
The movie follows a different timeline then the games. The games happen in the prime timeline, so a few things are different from the regular Canon.
In the canon Gatona is half orc half draenei (another Race from the orcs Planet, we Saw then being sacrificed af the begining of the movie). But in the movie its implied that she is Medivhs daughter.
Medivh was the last Guardian of Tirisfal, whos pupose was to defend Azeroth from demons. His mother was the previous Guardian, and she defeated Sargeras, the most powerful demon. But Sargeras Soul scaped into her, and later to Medivh. So he had a inside him from birth, just waiting.
Durotan son is Thrall, the leader of the orcs in WarCraft III and WoW up to the events of Cataclysm.
It was planned to be a Trilogy. Each movie telling the events of one of the WarCraft games that preceed WoW. And the movie took a decade to be made If you consider from the actual first draft, wich was verry different.
Maybe someone had already write this. The reason Durotan took his wife with him because the orc world is dying because the Fel. Fel is a really dangerous magic, highly destructive and addictive. In the game you can see what the Fel can do to a world (Argus) (Draenor)
14:31
In the games, she's half orc/half dranei
In the movie, she's half orc/half human
As a Warcraft lore nerd it's fascinating to watch normal people trying to decypher what's happening :D
0:08 - The MMO World of Warcraft was based on the original (insert Games Workshop fans laughing here) RTS trilogy Warcraft (fantasy brother to Starcraft). The movie follows the story of the original Warcraft game. World of Warcraft happens after the trilogy.
11:29 - This is my BOOMSTICK!
45:06 - They got a sequel: Warcraft 2. Then Warcraft 3. Then World of Warcraft. There was never another movie, though.
45:32 - Earth isn't in the Warcraft franchise. The series takes place on the world of Azeroth.
Aaaaand Draenor, Outland, did i miss anything?
@@qebron I wouldn't know. All I know is Earth isn't in this IP and Azeroth is the primary world.
azeroth is just a planet
This really was such a good movie. No movie is perfect but I think they did a very good job making this in a way that even someone who has no info about WoW can enjoy it. This is actually based off a version of the game called Warcraft: Humans vs Orcs. If you do know anything about the game and world involved, then you know that they really did do a good job portraying the Orcs. I also think they did a great job with the wizards and the magic wielding. Plus the world and environment looked great. It's doubtful they will ever do a sequel to this adaptation but I would sure welcome one.
Welp didn't expect this, my whole childhood was Wow, from 11 years old in feb '07, all the way to wow classic bringing me back, I just wish this had been more fleshed out
The movie is actually called Warcraft instead of World of Warcraft because World of Warcraft happens after the events of the original 3 games, the first game being called Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. This movie tells the story of the first game.
I really liked this film, I remember it getting critically panned when it came out but good fantasy films are still so rare I really rated it! A shame they never made a sequel.
Id love if they made more Warcraft movies, I hadnt played the original rts games, just WoW but I still enjoyed the mkvie, plus the characters are still all known in WoW and have their own expansion..
Warcraft was an RTS before it was an MMO. There's so much lore in this universe that you can't fit in one movie.
They did a good job with the effects, it's a solid fantasy movie, but thanks to Arcane and anime going mainstream, I think it's been proven that animation is the way to go when adapting games, especially if you don't want CGI clashing with live action.
This is called Warcraft because it's based on the mid 90s game Warcraft. Which is the prequels to the game World of Warcraft. The events of Warcraft happened roughly around 35 before the events of the World of Warcraft game. Thrall is infant Orc you see in this movie . Thrall is the Chief of Orgrimmar in the game World of Warcraft.
The movie was pretty good despite some stuff seemed rushed and cut out. It would of been nice to see more movies of this to at least up to the events of World of Warcraft but sadly from what I recall it won't be happening. I would of loved to have seen a film focusing on the Undead. The undead was my favorite race to play in World of Warcraft back when i used to play.
36:34 that scene always gives me chills. Just the way he screams guldan and calls him out
Really enjoyed your reaction. Thanks!
I don't play WoW anymore since i fell out of love with the game a few years ago but still love the movie even with all it's flaws
Pleasantly surprised to see you folks reacting to this movie...while it's understandable that they (Blizzard) wanted to start from the beginning (this was based on the first Warcraft game, not WoW), it's unfortunate that they decided to go for the First War as their setting and storyline. There's still some of us holding out a very faint hope that Blizzard will decide to do another movie, this time based around a more popular story of Warcraft's lore, the story of Arthas Menethil...it's super-unlikely to ever happen considering how this movie did financially, but we can dream.
I wasn't aware that a Warcraft movie was ever made.
Of course, I wasn't exactly paying attention or looking out for such a thing though. Played a little bit of Warcraft 2 (and maybe went back and checked out the original Warcraft once or twice as well after that) back in the day and found it mildly interesting. (Same for Starcraft, to go on a slight tangent. They were both kinda neat for a bit.) I never cared to look into World of Warcraft though. Haven't paid any attention to the franchise since then.
One of best films ever made with no follow up sequel.
As a non WOW player I thought it was a really decent fantasy movie that I am glad saw at the cinema and I would have seen the sequel in the cinema if there was one.
Im so mad this movie didnt do well enough to justify a sequel, Warcraft got so much to offer and could be an amazing universe on the big screen, the people who made this obviously cared and tried their best to make it good and please the fans, if only they didnt get cucked by the studio, will never understand what idiot came up with the idea to squish this into 2 hours, it really sucks cause these people and this franchise deserved more freedom and more respect...still the movie is cool and a fun watch, visually great, fights are dope, fantasy done right, hoping it gets picked up again :) btw Warcraft is originally an RTS game from the 90s thats where the story comes from :)
as an avid Warcraft fan and someone who played it since the first Warcraft in the mid 90s (which actually has a lot of the exposition of this early lore, and Duratan etc.) and I played up through Warecraft 2 and Warcraft 3 LONG before WoW came out (played that too) I really feel the direction of this movie, and the choices they made about what they included vs. what they didn't include were very much driven by giving something back to fans of the game as opposed to trying to make a complete product that an outsider could just start watching and fully catch up on the exposition and lore
44:15 that guy standing in front of Gul’dan is arguably stronger than Gul’dan. In the story later, he killed the demon master that Gul’dan served, in a single blow.
Definitely the original Mortal Kombat movie 👍
To me, this movie was extremely underrated. If im not mistaken it did poorly in theaters so they pretty much just gave up on making the 2nd part😔 I hope they try to finish it one day👍🏿
It's called Warcraft, because that was the original series:
Warcraft 1, 2, and 3. And then they came out with World of Warcraft as basically an MMO Epilogue. It's the ORIGINAL GTA5.
And this is DEFINITELY one of the movies from it's time that SHOULD'VE gotten a sequel, but didn't.
Mostly cause it's Owning Company now makes some bad money decisions, despite what obvious signs are in front of said decisions....
Love this adaptation
12:04
The orcs relied on shamanism to use magic, but with the elements of their homeworld dead they were cut off from their magical source. That is until Gul'dan introduced them to demonic magic as the first warlock. And Ner'zhul(not featured in the film) introduced the orcs to necromancy.
So yeah World of Warcraft was an MMO actually based off Warcraft. Warcraft 1 and 2 came out before WoW. And this movie technically follows Warcraft 1's storyline but has pieces of Warcraft 2 and WoW in it as well. Warcraft games are old so don't worry about not knowing them, since Wow's popularity eclipsed the older games
Oh thank you so much! I loved this movie.. Still waiting for a sequel.. Hope.
Lothar was played by Travis Fimmel. He played Ragnar Lothbrok in the tv series Vikings.
I know nothing about the world of warcraft, I never played the game, but I loved this movie and was so upset there wasn't a sequel. I've read the commets of people who actually played the game and I feel like many people say this is actually a decent movie. I don't know why I feel very happy about that people who know the games give a good opinion about moves that are made on the basis of the games, but it just warms my heart to see they approved the movie😂 thank you guys for the reaction as always ❤
8:20 didn't need to insult me like that😂
I loved this movie. Didn't feel rush or anything, the story was great (the only character was the lovestory with the half orc) but other than that I loved it. And I had never played Warcraft and didnt even know anything from the lore.
Hey guys shout out from the US Marine Corps! I've been watching your content now for a couple of months and absolutely love it I haven't really commented but on this one I should because honestly I have over 2500 days played on World of Warcraft and I have three accounts with 30 characters each and I'm also a Grand Marshall on one of my Paladins! I haven't even played in about 10 years so think about that 2500 days played since 2000 to 2000 and 13 when it came out yes I used to play this game what's that word called I can't exactly remember but Oh my God it's on the tip of my tongue i'm stupid anyways I love you guys' reactions to everything so far you guys are great together keep up the great reactions! Sorry if I messed up the English I feel the English plus I'm doing voice to text and I don't really know how good voice to text is. I think I was trying to say I used to play this game religiously or repetitiously
Garona would be half Orc, half Draenai, I'd assume. Draenai being the prisoners sacrificed at the start to open the Black Gate.
So the chanting you hear when it's just a roar of people shouting "for the horde" or "for the alliance"; it was recorded at blizzcon much like in tron legacy when the crowd was shouting disc wars. I was at blizzcon when they recorded it!
As a WoW MMO original vanilla player, not too deep into the post MMO lore In really enjoined this movie. It gave me the feeling that I had when I first started the game the sense of magic, the sense of dread (PvP server so death was always around the corner), battle grounds, raids, PvP, developing your skills, always something to do guild friends from all over the world. Good times! And indeed the action is really good. They really did a good job showing the pro's and cons of being a orc vs being human. And the magic was also well done, powerful but like in the game it takes time so you have to compensate for that.
14:28 Originally Garona was half human but that was retconned in Burning Crusade she's half Draenei(the blue people sacrificed in the beginning).
This is less about WoW and actually about the RTS Warcraft Trilogy that came before. It def is a lot more brutal as this is during Blizzard's heyday of the 90's grim and dark era, before they started sanitizing their IPs.
Lore-wise the green Orcs are the ones who took the demon blood that Gul'dan cut a deal with. Tan is actually the color of Orcs in WoW.
Tanish Red, red, brown, grey, black, even some shades of blue.
Green only became part of their colors afterwards and stayed as a natural color even after the fel taint was removed.
I feel like this film really needed a commitment to sequels and it definitely didnt need to have so much content cut. As someone who knew Warcraft lore it did feel kinda rushed and crammed in how it was moving through a lot of things, I think that probably reflected in how non-Warcraft fans saw the film.
I saw this in the theaters whenever it came out (im 20 now idk when it came out) but i remember the moving just blowing my mind
This one should have a sequel
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Hayley's singsong "I'm Hayley" intro gets me every time.
The baby orc is Thrall a key character for future lore
This needs a sequel bad... I loved it.
A funny thing is that here in Brazil the title is "Warcraft: first meeting of two worlds"
And my dad and I always play watching this movie, one of us always ends up saying "the first and only encounter, lol"
In the chronological order of the games and events it goes from Warcraft, Warcraft II, Warcraft III, then World of Warcraft and all of it's expansion up to Dragonflight. Blizzard wanted to make more Warcraft movies but it didn't do to well in the box office and make enough money. Who knows what they will do or announce in Blizzcon on the 3rd.
Worth to also point out that there's like a 30+ year difference between Warcraft 1 and World Warcraft. So they were sort of correct in saying that this movie was a "prequel" to WoW.
31:06 The sad part about Medivh is he was born corrupted, if I remember right a piece of Sargeras(a Titan/living pantheon one of Warcrafts many gods) hid in him when he was born so he has always been somewhat of a slave to the Burning Legion.
the changing of the name is very telling that sadly we will never get a follow up as it was called "Warcraft: The Beginning" when it was first released but due to not being very well received by mainly fans and not making as much cash as they wanted they scrapped the follow ups, which from what they setup in this film would have most likely been based on the almost forgotten point and click Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans game which followed the journey of young Thrall aka the orc baby, growing up in an human ran prison camp for orcs till he rallies his people after his shamanic powers awaken.
The orc wife has always reminded me of Sigorcney Weaver from that Humanbusters movie.
A little History. The original RTS games were Warcraft, Warcraft 2, And Warcraft 3. World of Warcraft was the name of the MMORPG, which was the forth game to carry the Warcraft name.
So this one is based on Warcraft, which is the basis game for World of Warcraft and goes deep into the history of the setting. Unfortunately it was made as a movie for fans of the games so they didn't try to give you a lot of character development like you would see in other types of movies.
It wasn't made for fans either. It really fails in that regard.
This movie played well to the game. My favorite thing to do is mining in fel iron ore in the outlands. Easy to mine if you have a mining level of 350 or higher and sells for decent gold. This movie is awesome.
i think the original series of games was called Warcraft
Warcraft: Orcs and Humans.
This was a great movie for me since I used to play the hell out of Warcraft III back in the day.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable movie. It's niche, but excellently done. Green orcs are corrupted by the blood of the pit lord Mannoroth. Glowing eyes means they drank the blood. Green skin just means they're tainted but not bloodlusted.
Probably already mentioned in the comments, but its called warcraft beacuse its based off the first RTS game Warcraft Orcs and Humans, much of the start is accurate to the game/lore, but they twisted the end for the movie. The Green orks are supposed to have drunken demon blood and been bound to the demon's will and are invading for this reason. The story of the Guardian is really a tragic thing. Anyone who has played Warcraft 3 should recognize the child though as Thrall
I remember watching this with my older brother
as someone whos played wow for 15 years this movie is allllll over the place. movies score 3/10, reaction score 10/10.
I don't know how you guys feel about stop motion, but if you can stomach it, stop motion FX artist Ray Harryhausen created some fantastic mythical monsters for THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD (1958), THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD (1973), SINBAD AND THE EYE OF THE TIGER (1977), JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (1963) and his final film CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981). He retired after that one. There's a fight between a one-eyed centaur and a griffin in GOLDEN VOYAGE, the best of the Sinbad flicks.
With a few very notable exceptions like LOTR or Honor among Thiefs, in general high fantasy movies are cursed, mostly because they are expensive to do well and studios don't always take them seriously enough. Given that track record this movie was so much better than one would expect and it's a shame it wasn't successful enough for a sequel. The director Duncan Jones is great though and I can't recommend his sci-fi movie Moon enough, it's a fantastic watch.
yeah this had the double curse of fantasy movie + game movie sadly. I thought they did a really good job
On June 18, 2018, Jones tweeted that the chance of Warcraft getting a sequel "doesn't look good". In September 2020, it was reported that Legendary is developing a new Warcraft movie, though it's unknown if it is planned as a reboot or a sequel to Jones' film and will continue to be distributed by Universal Pictures or transferred to Legendary's current release partners Sony Pictures or Netflix.
on garona heritage: in original game lore she is full orc but through experimentation she is infused with dreanei (ones imprisoned for sacrifice early film and have tendrils around their face) blood. movie version... eh.
in game her husband is medivh (yes yes i know in this garona is his daughter, in game they are not father and daughter) and they have a son which funny enough is non existent in game. so based on how things turn out here she maybe have lothals child during that frisky night. which if sequel movie is made for sure timejump and her child, a half human and half orc will get to know thrall/go'el.
I wanted this film to get a sequel too, but it sadly underperformed at the box office, grossing around $439.1 million against a break-even point of around $450-500 million.
I’m glad you guys enjoyed the movie, not enough Americans did because the Warcraft gamers winged and bitched about way too much instead of enjoying the movie for what it was.
Sadly, despite doing well in profits it ls not getting a sequel due to the American backlash.
God I wish we had a sequel
This movie deserves much better ratings.
I think no sequel can be explained by Vikings becoming HUGE. The Main character in this movie was acted by the same man that played Ragnar, just different hair colours.
This movie is retelling the plot of the original 1994/1995 (or whenever) Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, with some creative liberties to make the setting more familiar to players of World of Warcraft. The story is also incredibly rushed; the events of the game were supposed to have taken place over the course of years. Garona was a half-orc, half-human that came to Azeroth several years before the start of the game.
Anduin Lothar goes on to defeat the orcs in totality about 5 years later during the events of Warcraft 2.
