This is such a good example of how not to do an interview. The problem isn’t the answers he is looking for, they are all valid, it’s the tone and aggressive wording of the questions. It feels more like he’s given a critical appraisal rather than conducting an interview.
The questions themselves aren't rude, in fact I think a healthy dialogue between filmmakers and viewers is needed, however this interviewer manages to contradict himself and be very passive aggresive at the same time. Again, the questions are FAIR, we don't need to only praise directors, but when he mentioned that he was already familiar with The Lord of the Rings Duncan quickly reminded him that he's in a similar position as the gamers who already know the rules of Warcraft.
Diablo or starcraft movies would be cool to see also. The fella asking questions just trying to present himself as such a smartass. Hes either overqualified for this job, or he's the wrong guy for this particular job.
What's really sad about this situation is that Duncan Jones defended his work like a professional when attacked by that buffoon, but the film still was a piece of shite and flopped. So everyone lost, but Jones looked better while losing.
I don't understand what was so bad about the movie. I wanted sequels in this universe wtf. I'm assuming the fanbase is responsible for this. Now we have nothing great job
First warcraft came out November 23, 1994. first book 2001 and its 2021 now and we have a story that started 27 years ago and all we got was ONE FUCKING MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME MORE!!!!!!!
Please a movie or tv show of Arthas Menethil! Every now and then I rewatch the Wotlk cinematic and feel sad, but happy that I have experienced this epic story true MASTERPIECE
I went to uni with the interviewer. I don’t have anything bad to say about him. He comes across as a nerd but he has this genuinely edgy quality about him believe it or not which might explain that ending. He’s wasted as mainstream journo.
The movie was a failure. I've been playing the game since release. I only started playing it because of the lore. All video game movies have been failures because they don't focus on good story-telling. They expect graphics and CGI to carry the movie alone. The movie was easily just as bad as Mario Bros. Duncan is blowing smoke here. Most people in the world do not play 'World of Warcraft', 'Warcraft 3' and/or read the books. Btw, this is a click-bait video. The interviewer didn't actually walk out. The interview was over. He said thank you and walked out. Activision Blizzard is desperately trying to trick people into thinking their movie doesn't such.
Dude you're the only one blowing smoke here. This movie is nowhere near being Super Mario levels of bad and Duncan answered the interviewers questions just fine. He gave his reasons for not adapting the lore you love and it's because it wouldn't be possible because of its length and complexity. He chose certain things and changed others with the blessing of Blizzard because he wanted to give it a bit of a different take. I for one like the change as he's right, having the "creatures are all bad" fantasy trope is tired and old, this movies strongest qualities came from the orcs and their changes likely made by Duncan. Also sure Rosser didn't walk out but he ended the interview abruptly and rudely, you can tell by his mannerisms something about it seemed to for some reason bother him. Even Duncan is confused by his rude reaction. It's perfectly fine if you didn't like the movie, but the interviewer was being a dick here.
I thought Duncan Jones dealt with this interview very well. Interviewer seemed to want to insult the work, but didn't get a rise out of Jones at all; then got offended by something benign and disappeared. Bizarre behaviour.
Although there are a lot of things that disappointed me and things I would've wanted different in the Warcraft movie, I think Duncan Jones handled this interview very well. I don't think he really gets what Warcraft is about but this was a watchable though forgettable film. In the games the Horde has always been the bad guys (but not pure evil kind of bad guys) and trying to make them into something else lessens the story and it's no longer Warcraft. What is Durotan even doing in this movie?
The movie was impressing in his own right, yet my real problem was that the movie was very fast paced and several severe changes to characterizations, what the "critic" point out are valid points, but there are other ways to do that. The movie covers the plot of the novel The Last Guardian, where it explains why/ how Medivh was corrupted and by whom. *Spoilers* below, for those who didn't read the book and might want to do it. (Also, the las guardian is a novel part of a series of novels that covers the horde before they got to Azeroth, after they got there and the conclussion.) Gul'dan as a character in the novel is... let's say, imagine a mix of Darth Sidious (except he Gul'dan had no fighting abilities) and the Godfather, meaning he didn't rely on brute strenght and threats to control the horde, he did it through a vast secret cult while letting Blackhand think he was ruling. And Gul'dan was not driven by conquest, he was driven by power, mystical power. Garona.. well, they were close with that character, except why she kills the king, but, mneah, that was the least of the changes i think.
Mr. Jones handled himself exceptionally well. His arguments were well made and delivered. The interviewer was becoming more and more unprofessional as the interview went on, and I didn't much appreciate it. I love seeing interviewers criticize, but in a professional, polite, intelligent, and open-minded way. Mr. Rosser was not this.
The interviewer was bad at his job, I mean, the warcraft movie was a puddle of steaming dog shit, don't get me wrong, but what was that guy expecting? Did he want Duncan to admit they made a shitty movie? "Yeah guys, it's pretty bad, we paid a meth addict to write the script, a hobo for the dialogue and some lifeless mannequins to play the part, don't go see it."
Watched it to spite the cunt. Was a decent film and I'll watch the sequel if it's made. Good on this Duncan Director guy for being a total boss in this very unprofessional interview.
the fuck is everyone complaining about the critic? Till the last few seconds he is perfectly polite and professional, and in the end he is simply annoyed by the huge quantity of nothing that the director keeps using as an answeare.
??? What the fuck is your problem? He was making nonsense point the whole way through the interview and when he was rebuttaled with sound logic, he fucked of camera. He came in looking fight and to get a reaction from Duncan and didn't get one. Here in Aus we call those people "cunts"
It was very brave of this interviewer to admit he didn't understand this simple movie.
More like Adam Tosser.
Who even is this Rosser guy? This is the only video on RUclips he’s featured in

did the interviewer get served with divorce papers that morning or something
I can respect a man's calm attitude when faced with criticism, but this movie sucked and he deserved as much flak as he got.
Great movie, interviewer was brainless... green magic bad, blue magic good... orc world dying, human world not. This is pretty easy to grasp.
Interviewer was a prick. Director dealt with him like a pro. The movie *was* shit, tho.
Diablo or starcraft movies would be cool to see also. The fella asking questions just trying to present himself as such a smartass. Hes either overqualified for this job, or he's the wrong guy for this particular job.
Rosser the Tosser...lol fairplay to Duncan
That look Duncan give the interviewer at the end, was the face I made every time the interviewer opened his mouth! Let's see you make a film
brutal
What's really sad about this situation is that Duncan Jones defended his work like a professional when attacked by that buffoon, but the film still was a piece of shite and flopped. So everyone lost, but Jones looked better while losing.
That interviewer did not deserve that handshake.
"Duncan, is it possible that you suck at everything?"
Wow. Now I see why people were pointing out his name rhymes with "tosser."
I don't understand what was so bad about the movie. I wanted sequels in this universe wtf. I'm assuming the fanbase is responsible for this. Now we have nothing great job
I never understood the flak. I thought the movie was great. People are f'ing weird man.
Here's a question Why was the interviewer such a asshole
The movie was unwatchable and I say that as someone who grew up loving Warcraft
bs
*Tosser
First warcraft came out November 23, 1994. first book 2001 and its 2021 now and we have a story that started 27 years ago and all we got was ONE FUCKING MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME MORE!!!!!!!

What a CUNT this Rosser is. Well done to Jones, handled it well.

Great film, you overhyped it, it's your fault lol. It's a dumb fantasy world about dumb orcs fighting humans. Shit isn't complex.
@@EQOAnostalgia Indeed. The film sucks.
I thought Duncan Jones dealt with this interview very well. Interviewer seemed to want to insult the work, but didn't get a rise out of Jones at all; then got offended by something benign and disappeared. Bizarre behaviour.
Fun Fact: Duncan Jones is David Bowie's (real name David Jones) son. Don't mess with Ziggy Stardust Jr.!
Pathetic childish film and thr director should've had much more shame
Rosser: Next question, why did you sleep with my wife?!! Jones: Umm, good question. Well, you see...
Extremely unprofessional interviewer. And I know that's been expressed quite vividly through the comments, but I'll emphasize nevertheless.
Although there are a lot of things that disappointed me and things I would've wanted different in the Warcraft movie, I think Duncan Jones handled this interview very well. I don't think he really gets what Warcraft is about but this was a watchable though forgettable film.

What is Durotan even doing in this movie?
see how that weasel left in the end?
"Hey, yeah, but your film is utter bollocks, innit?" What an absolute prat.
What an absolute douche.
Comments are nothing but a bunch of WoW nerds defending their corporate-produced product. Shocking.
Theyre disagreeing with the interviewers behavior.
LOL THE END
To be fair though, the movie wasn't that good so the interviewer has a point.
The movie was impressing in his own right, yet my real problem was that the movie was very fast paced and several severe changes to characterizations, what the "critic" point out are valid points, but there are other ways to do that.

And Gul'dan was not driven by conquest, he was driven by power, mystical power. Garona.. well, they were close with that character, except why she kills the king, but, mneah, that was the least of the changes i think.
I never played any of blizzard games abd i think this film was good 7 or 8 out of 10
This director did a great job respectfully defending his movie. Honestly had no interest in this movie but now I just wanna support this poor guy.
Please notice that the interviewer looks like he hasn't blood in his body while Duncan does.
Mr. Jones handled himself exceptionally well. His arguments were well made and delivered. The interviewer was becoming more and more unprofessional as the interview went on, and I didn't much appreciate it. I love seeing interviewers criticize, but in a professional, polite, intelligent, and open-minded way. Mr. Rosser was not this.
What an asshat
Duncan Jones, you are a god 😊

Such a strange rude interviewer, Adam Rosser. I didn't know a thing about any of this, but now I'm impressed with Duncan Jones!
who's the pleb doing the interview, what a douche.
Watched it to spite the cunt. Was a decent film and I'll watch the sequel if it's made. Good on this Duncan Director guy for being a total boss in this very unprofessional interview.
