Bruh I remember when the first movie was announced I waited so long I'm not gonna hype myself for another decade. I'll just forget I ever read this. Warcraft sucks in the cinema.
I LOVED the first one and it's way more than Travis Fimmel fangirling& really hope the rumblings in the community about another movie are true!
I think the people talking about an Arthas movie will be disappointed. The end of the first movie quite clearly shows the direction they are going...Thrall.
Dont do it Blizz. I wanted a Warcraft film for many years as i thought it would be awesome and also show people who are not into WoW, the world ive spent so many years in. But the movie was an abomination and an embarrassment. It gets some of the lore wrong ("ThE mOvIE UnIVeRse iS dIffErent fROm tHe GaMe UNiVeRsE!" the actual reason the director used, why not make it like the game universe?), the locations doesnt look right. The humans didnt look like warcraft humans, they looked like cosplayers in silly foam armor. Asian elves. Just dont make another movie.
The first movie was trash and every story Blizzard made in the last 15 years has been trash so we might be lucky enough for a trash sequel created by the people who suck at making Warcraft.Nobody likes Orcs or Gul'dan and we don't like the Burning Legion anymore so unless you're getting a hot af Jaina and hot af Arthas and doing the Lich King then the movie is gonna suck more than Warlords of Draenor.
I'm a huge WoW fan - been playing since beta - but I remember being in the theatre with my friend watching the first one and thinking: this is just awful. Terrible acting, bad bad casting. The effects looked mostly good but a huge flop on what should have been a great movie. If two happens, DO NOT CAST TRAVIS! Plenty of other handsome boys who actually CAN act... (p.s. i'm a gaymer so yeah Travis was hot looking but still he couldn't act out of a paper bag sadly...)
LET'S GOOOOOOOOO! The first one had it's big faults, but I still saw it 4x in theaters to support the franchise. I would love a Blizz-backed mini-series, but we need to get the momentum rolling. Star Wars wasn't built overnight and the Warcraft Universe is just as expansive as the Star Wars Universe, so the sky's the limit! I know it was an absolute beast internationally, so we could get some more hype going this time around in the States! I think today's generation is craving more and more fantasy and WC can definitely fill it.
Make humans CGI this time. CGI orcs and other stuff looked much more realistic and better than actual humans in the first movie.
If they didn't simplify the plot of the first movie in order to appeal to non-fans, the movie could've been great. The things I hated the most are: - the appearance of Medivh (seriously, what was that? Some budget jedi? he looked nothing like the original Guardian), - the fact that Garona was his daughter? instead of his lover? why? just why?- the whole "brilliant plan" of King Llane to let Garona kill him (that was a big facepalm moment), instead of her assassinating him because of Shadow Council's influence,- flying Dalaran and Alodi.
Here's my thought on why it's not going to be Arthas.Because the movie was a huge success in China, they're likely to target the Chinese market with the next movie. As a result first of all, expect Pandaren. Second of all, Arthas and the scourge is full of skeletons and undead and as we are well aware, that kind of stuff is somewhat censored in the Chinese version of WoW even so making an entire movie where that kind of stuff will play a significant role just doesn't seem likely.
I find it hard to get hyped over the movie, they are forced to cram too much into it and they miss out on so much. The fact that they couldnt have humans and orcs actually fighting and had to resort to guns for the final scene was a huge letdown for me.Personally, i would rather they did an animated series. The movie itself was basically full CGI apart from the humans and elves, which i WISH were cgi. Making it a movie was a mistake, there are just too many restrictions in that format.
Id rather they dont. Blizzard had 10 years to make a movie, they scrapped the script because it was "too orc centric" and the movie ended up being too orc centric. They are better off animated series or lore videos (like the game of thrones ones), because a movie cant cover most stuff, and honestly at this stage i dont trust blizzard to write anything
Legendary has to be gettign soemthing out of making a 2nd one..the 1st alone was a bust globally.
How can they make a sequel when the first one was utter dog *!@#? The acting was terrible, the casting was terrible (WHY WAS EVERYONE THE SAME AGE? LOL), the script was terrible, the plot was even terrible. How did they manage to $%^& up the plot? It's literally the First War, one of the best lore stories in the Warcraft canon and they #$%^ed it up. They %^&*ed up the lore itself! They went with some of the stupid Warlords of Draenor #$%^ and made Gul'dan into the crappy WoD version instead of the proper lore version. The whole thing was ridiculous. Garona didn't even assassinate King Llane it was an ultra lame "I'm sacrificing myself so you can escape!" bull@#$% scene.Honestly, anyone who liked this utter drek needs to stop paying to see films because you're giving studios and publishers the wrong ideas. Just stay at home and watch !@#$ youtube videos.
If they make a new movie i would rather it be a fresh start than continue what they was doing maybe tie in a movie with the next expansion after shadowlands to try something new than repeat the past so people can play the game and take part in it right now.
Do Arthas or nothing at all, that storyline has everything: Relatable good guy, the fall from grace, attempt of redemption, the loss of a friend, good guy turning evil, boy/girl story with Jaina... but not in one seating, it needs to be done in 2-3 parts
