we want warcraft 2 movie!!!!!!!!
@Sheldon Azvedo that's a fucking retarded idea, you fucking moron!
No druids, no movie.
EXACTLY
Yes I want to see Orc baby grow up with human.
@@psyentiphiq what you mean?
the first movie felt like 3 movies crammed into 1, rushed like hell. World of Warcraft deserves a tv series, on the same level as Game of thrones
Good idea
That would be INSANE
The problem is where would you start again? Warcraft one warcraft 3 world of Warcraft war of the ancients or even before that. And if u take warcraft one and 2 there is a problem aswell there are alot of story books but the games itself haven't had a story so captivating like warcraft 3 same with StarCraft where as StarCraft 2 had cinema worthy writing except of course the strange end. It might turn out like the movie or the Witcher where it's super incoherent and not the good kind of way like Metroid or Cowboy Bebop. I learned to expect nothing from blizzard anymore that has any value and since this is possible but very difficult it will never happen in a good way I can assure you of that
The only bitching came from over critical fans. It was a great movie for many. I loved the RTS, hated the MMO, so I missed out on a lot of lore. Would love a sequel.
The movie was based in the events of the Orcs making a transmission of lands. The actors were picked well, CGI done very well, storyline was good, and it flowed smoothly. It did feel abit rushed, yet it is difficult to tell a story in a movie based in different places when all events impact the story so much. The only reason there isn't a second one that we know of so far, is because after the percentages taken out from the box office they ended up losing money from making it. I believe the budget was around 150million(I could be wrong) and they only made around 145million or so. This makes them think about what they're going to do. The ending does very much make me angry since it was on a cliff hanger hinting at a second movie, which may not come out.
if they would have done the story of the lich king it will have broken box office records
junito1957 he did a nod to a precursed Frostmourne in a deleted scene
junito1957 warcraft wasnt great the orc side was good to watch but the humans had the worst actors of all time and why are they all young? they should just stick to the cgi orc story
If they just start making movies for all of the lore then the Arthas Story would be even greater.
Indeed, actors were terrible. Cgi way to go!
i needs to be a series to finish the entire story
Blizzard makes great cinematic trailers..they should make a movie by themselves..i mean look at the trailers they make,its gold
This
Making a moving takes a long time soo that means fewer updates
Do you people realize how expensive that would be?
CptCrunchyNuts 4
Sc2 has 9 hours worth of cutscenes and cinematic
More expensive than the budget they had for this movie? Nah.
i need Warcraft 2 to happen
Me too man, i want it so bad.
I want it so bad
Yes
I do too. I want to see the silver hand paladin's come into the fold and Thrall grow up sadly under the cruel hand of lord blackthorn to be molded into the perfect weapon only for Thrall to aim to overcome blackthorns vile rule. I'd also like to see trolls and high elves in action and so on, so forth.
yeah mane
The movie deserved more praise as it was a great movie.
just one hour to short... and lets be honest the actors of medivh and varian where shit.
@@MrMCKlebeband More would be nice but length was alright. I agree that the royal family and mages part were the weak spots that felt in the way. Ben Foster was could but the mage felt too much like a generic fantasy movie apprentice. Except for the finale, I didn't care too much for the king and his family. I didn't seem to mind the Queen though. It's been a while since I saw the film but she stuck out to me for some reason and I don't think it was negatively.
@@metalninjajesus1580 they just fucked up big time because they didnt want to risk money.. so lame... they could have made the new lotr with this story... or just do it entirely themselves, pure cgi like the cinematics... but they wanted to make a "real" movie while watching the budget... so so sad.... there will be no part 2... the director and the regisseur are butchers in my eyes.
I honestly thought it was a bit bad, had little to know character developement and a bit of a miss matched timescale, meaning it felt like the whole story it portrait was about a week long rather than the months it should have felt like
Na it sucked
The problem was they made the movie about the wrong lore. If they had made a trilogy movie set about Arthas, that shit would have broke the bank around the world dude.
card969 and yet thats why they couldnt make it perfect, they arent allowed to, the world would literally break (more so than it is already broken)
You do realise Frostmourne was in the movie granted Deleted Scene but still in there
You do realise that the term deleted scene means that it is no longer in the movie, yes they were going to put it in the movie, but they cut it out for reasons unspecified. "Deleted Scene" LITERALLY MEANS its not in the movie.
That doesnt make sense frostmourne did not exist at the time considering ner zhul was only turned into the lich king after the events of warcraft 2
Mr Para The hilt on the Sword is Frostmourne.Plus the person that comes across it finds it on a Skeleton so im guessing it was before it becomes cursed from magic
If only they could make just _one_ more movie, I'll bet now that the universe is established it could be a big hit. I loved the movie, but I can see how some people might have gotten overwhelmed with how many main characters there were.
if only they didn t made this movie full of shit, if only they din t rush the story soo much , if only they where making a movie and not a game comercial , if only director knew what game he is filming it s WarCraft (not WOW).
Hey Abelhawk, big fan
НИКОЛА when you actually know the lore and story of warcraft then you make that comment, sure it melded the lesser points of the story but it needed to happen for the good stuff to show up. The movie was the closest to the source material that any movie has been. Critics not liking the fact that they felt forced to be sympathetic to both sides can take a fucking hike because that's warcraft, there is no good side and bad side. The horde are just as good and the alliance are just as bad.
+Metriel critics where full of shit , if the director was unable to understand warcraft completly , the critics was the worst part of the movie they couldn t point the flaws and they where many , it s never a good idea to rush the story to come to good part , every part is good tarantino make incredible movies by shooting 2 men in a room , and they was a bad guys and good guys in warcraft just like any movie gul dan looked so bad the ripped the charackter from thw villian by destroying his eyes the villian is very important to the story.
You say that while Avengers and Lord of the Rings broke box office records and scored great with critics with their multiple storylines.
This should be a series like Game of Thrones. Not a movie. Theres too much for a movie
Honestly if story wise they did Warcraft 2: Rise of the Lich King. It would make all the money. Arthas is literally the Darth Vader of Warcraft.
Because north America movie goes rather watch crap like captain marvel. I wished they would make a warcraft sequal
north america doesnt want to watch cuntain marvel, check the ratings, we hate her/it
warcraft was made in america by americans, it's our game more than anyones, and we like it as much if not more than anyone
The team that does the in-game cinematics should make the sequel. No live actors, just Blizzart!
How do I give multiple likes to this?
I've always wondered why they wouldnt. The cinematics blizzard does are literally the best animated videos I can think of.
time and money, but i bet if they have alot of both, they would definitely make a movie using the people that make the in-game cinematic!
THE1andONLYHairfish thats a bit gay
Cinematics are made with live actors. its called motion capture. you cant have Gollum without Andy Serkis
Just watched the first movie, loved it! We need a second one!
They should have started at warcraft 3 and then went back.
Arthas, Jaina, Sylvanas are epic characters
Thrall and cairne story too
Warcraft 2 should start years after the first. Stormwind has fallen and a bald slightly aged Lothar should lead the exodus by sea to Lordaeron.
Yeah, when they auctioned off all the movie props, I figured there wasn't a second one coming. But hey, at least I was able to get the sword that Lothar used throughout the movie. I have the king of all props lol
Saw it in theaters with my wife ,we loved it and as soon as the dvd dropped we bought it. I really hope they make a sequel.
I liked the movie when i first watched warcraft
2019 still no warcraft 2 movie
Will when they released the first one in 2016 they actually started making the movie in 2012 because the art work and the graphic if you realised they focused in every pixel every thing
And in the end of chapter 1 you see the human open the doors of war against the orcs there is a chapter 2 but you will have to wait because the first one took from them 4 years to release the movie and thanks for reading 😍😍💙💙💙
@@TheTactical0 and now its 2020 and there is no still
@@mcsroom8930 you really want from them to make a movie and release it with Coronavirus lol 🙄🙄
@@TheTactical0 yea ya right
@@mcsroom8930 ya ya whatever
2019 and still no word on warcraft 2, upside is Atlest we got a Warcraft movie
2020 still no so sad
We want Warcraft 2. It was the perfect movie.
It wasnt, they fucked up lore
@@samuelhalmo5002 As a Warcraft nerd that pretty much knows all the lore, I loved it. I encourage you to take your head out of your ass and enjoy life.
@@samuelhalmo5002 Bro come down. For a normal person who doesn't know much about Warcraft the film was great.
They made the movie way to late. A lot of people clung on to the franchise for so long but walked away a long time ago.
I get your point but I'm glad they made the movie as late as they did because of how good cgi is these days . If they made it 10 or 12 years ago , the special effects that the movie heavily relies on to realy work wouldn't be nearly as good as they are these days
Avatar was beautiful and it was made 2009. Warcraft could have been there sooner.
Just like they're making legacy servers way too late. Movie should have been released around 2010
Leonard Roškar well said. The legacy servers have a big hype atm but will just fade by the time it actually gets here.
More complaining, oo bitch and moan don't like what you got move on or like whats in front of you. Nobody is happy about what they have anymore just pissin and moanin about pointless shit.
Blizzard needs to just make an in house CGI series of films.
They talked about the movie for years before it even came out, I waited a long time to see it and it did not disappoint me. And I will continue to wait for a 2nd movie if I must
I am waiting patiently for a sequel to Warcraft. I am not a game player…just a HUGE fan of the movie. Loved it!
I have been playing Warcraft since i was a child and Warcraft 1 came out. I had been waiting for a movie to come out since Warcraft 2 tides of darkness! In 2016 my dream finally became a reality and I couldn’t have asked for a better movie. I still cannot believe it didn’t make a killing at the box office meanwhile any crappy avengers or transformers movie makes a lot of money. I sincerely hope they make a sequel and continue making more , the lore of warcraft is amazing and the cinematic possibilities are endless. Maybe they need to invest more in doing promotion and the millions of WoW players should go and support it!!
BOOM SLANG im a Warcraft vet since WC2. I await for the coming of "The Tides of Darkness". LoL forgive my pun. This was a decent movie and had alot of potential if they exploited it.
yeah the movie was very nicely done.
I agree with everything. Except, cmon man Avengers was good and you know it!
i second that !!!!! For those who say it doesn't follow Game lore. >>>>> WOW Started with Warcraft so in FACT he did the movie prefect.. But you are right it was a bit rushed.. i mean they should have start at the beginning of the Base of the First game Warcraft. I Still say they did a good job.. Remember STAR WARS started of the Middle of the books G. Lucas write.. ended but came back for the start and the lore came with it to complete the series .
DoubleJ Broadcast smh
COMMON, WARCRAFT 1 IS MASTERPIECE, COMMON, MAKE ANOTHER ONE!!
I loved the movie I thought it was a good first effort the orcs looked awesome
Blizzard wanted movie to be pure fan-service not a decent movie. That is why movie was not successful enough for sequels since apart from Warcraft fans, no one else would understand or like it.
On other hand Warcraft should never have been movie in first place but A TV series like GoT or the new LOTR and Witcher 3 TV series coming out soon.
I m not warcraft fan and not even know what warcraft is but i love this
I just realised that many of the races of Azeroth we didn't even see at all. No trolls, no Night Elves, Gnomes, Tauren, Goblins, Draenei, among some. I really hope that a sequel will come out eventually.
Because the first war is about stormwind vs horde
We do see a few Draenei briefly at the very beginning of the movie before the Horde crossed through into the dark portal. As far as the other races, those races don't appear until the Second and Third wars. This movie was just covering the initial events of the first war.
So what you're saying is Duncan Jones has no idea what he's talking about. Veteran WoW player? Who cares? This movie is based on the Warcraft RTS games, not the MMO. It was leading up to Warcraft 3.
I am in complete agreement here that if a studio would give a director (say Peter Jackson, if begged hard enough) a green light to do the rise of the Lich King (I daresay using Christie Golden's book as a basis), we could see a successful Warcraft movie.
If we all remember...the very first Warcraft game did not explain much either. All the game focused on was how the war between the horde and alliance started. The Warcraft 2 game went more into the history of the horde and the legion. Warcraft 2 also introduced us to one of our favorite characters, Illidan, and that helped the game to take off into a more favorite games to play. If the Warcraft 2 movie does get made, I am sure that it will do much better I the box office. One other thing that we have to take into consideration is how well the Warcraft DvDs sold, and it sold very well. There is a way to get them to start making the Warcraft 2 movie. We will need to start a collection so they will be able to have to budget to make the movie. The Warcraft 2 movie will need to be like the Avatar movie, longer than 4 hours. 4 hours will enable them to explain about the legion and how they manipulated the Orcs into drinking the blood of the demons. 4 hours will also explain how the Orcs overthrew Stormwind city and how they lost it, which will go on into explaining how they became slaves. Warcraft 2 needs to be in line for the introduction of Arthas, another one of our favorite characters. Several Warcraft movies will need to be 4 hours so the crowd will understand the Warcraft storyline, which includes the story about the Old Gods and their masters (Void Lords). To make this idea work...we must talk with Blizzard about obtaining a collection of money from the gamers and other people who would love to see a continue of the Warcraft movie series. I know I would give money so they could make a Warcraft 2 movie.
It seems like a lot of critics have no clue what a good movie or a good tv series is, that's just sad for the people that would love to see a sequel being made for the movie Warcraft, I enjoyed the movie and I have it on bluray and dvd
I wish they made a WoW movie looking good like this but not about some lore or story like they did for this movie. Instead show us more what it is like to be a player in WoW. By that I mean I want to see more things of the game. Show us the cities we know, show us Orgrimmar, Undercity, Stormwind, Ironforge....show us the inside of Org and SW, and make it look exactly like ingame. Hell I wanna see Elwyn forrest and Goldshire....people having duel tournaments as training there, I want to see STV and the arena and people fighting there. Show us the battle grounds. Warsong Gulch( used as the training grounds or something) and when you show fighting I want to see actual spells I know from the game so I wanna see a rogue stun-lock someone and use cheapshot, kidneyshot, blind etc and that goes for all classes. Don't just show a rogue vanish and the rest being all auto attacks lol like in that New Haven trailer. I want to see them going inside dungeons. HELL make multiple movies. I could see a movie just about going inside the Deadmines for example rofl after having to go through Westfall. There are so many things they could do, focus more on things like that. Things all players who played WoW can relate to. The actual GAME! With most focus on Vanilla, TBC.
Warcraft didn't even play in my theater, and the closest that was playing it was 80 miles away. I've heard that's the way it was throughout the U.S. The distribution and marketing companies dropped the ball on this one. Hard core. Before its release, I kept asking friends from across the U.S. if they'd seen the trailer on TV, and nary a one did. It's almost like the studio execs didn't really want to make a second one in the first place.
The problem was there was no big name actor as a draw card. That one knight dude who was a TV actor who I haven't seen since. Thats about it. Sucks cause I loved it and want a sequel.
You're right, no one knows Travis Fimmel and Ben Foster... /s
@@fp3977 I have no idea who those people are. You might. But the average movie watcher won't. There was no Hollywood A list actor to draw general audiences in. Usually when there is no recognisable actor people tend to think it's a pretty shit low budget movie. I just re-watched the official trailer and it did not list one cast member l. Usually a movie trailer lists cast members, like Tom Cruise in big writing. Some of the cgi in the trailer looked terrible, there was nothing in the trailer resembling a love story or a strong female role to draw in the girls. Watching it, it looks like a total boys movie, I mean mostly for teenagers and kids. No A-list actor and no decent marketing. Of course it flopped.
Kenichi I’m the average movie watcher and Travis is one of my favorite
Travis fimmel's biggest roles were warcraft and Vikings. He has not been a big blockbuster movie since. He is not an A list actor.
I know its almost 2 years later, but they really should make the story of go'el (thrall) starting from his youth and escape from Durnhold, uniting the clans and what is left from the horde (now in lordaeron interment camps spread across northern parts of the continent) and finally getting revenge on Blackmoore for imprisoning him and raising him as slave. This is all told in the point-and-click Warcraft Adventures, game which unfortunately never saw the release due to animation companies screwing over. This is the story that needs to be in film, for all the fans of warcraft and movies!
They even did an Auction to sell all the stuff from the first movie. There wont be a second one...
if the movie startet with a black screen, then a voice whispering until it gets louder and louder "Remember, Arthas, we are paladins. Vengeance cannot be a part of what we must do. If we allow our passions to turn to bloodlust, then we will become as vile as the Orcs." then it would be epic.
"the movie only scratches the service" so true
Man I can't wait till they release the second movie of both warcraft and Independence Day.
God please let there be a Warcraft 2 movie in 2021
The US box office was in the dirt with really bad marketing. You really can't market a movie by having the actors do interviews and only talk about how much fun it is to make movies.
The only thing that bothered me about this movie was that it was in an alternate universe/timeline , they could've copied the original RTS plot and I would've been happy
They started they changed part such as Medivihs relationship with Garona
I know NOTHING about Warcraft and after watching this movie I hope for nothing but a sequel. The movie was both visually and emotionally captivating. There is so much unanswered that a sequel would truly make this an amazing series.
I think they should have just made it into a series. there is just too much lore in warcraft to cover in movies.
Exactly, tbh Blizzard did not care tho. Their game makes far more money than the movie could. So they just used the movie as an advertisement and fan-service instead.
they could have done it in like 6 movies each 3 hours... but budget. they didnt want to risk the dollars
The problem with Warcraft as a movie are the critics. They pummeled this movie saying it has a bad plot and even unlikable characters, comparing it to and cross-referencing it to LOTR, when it should not be. The story is from a game that gives the Horde-Alliance war as is, nothing much. This movie established the history and lore of the Warcraft universe, but critics don't see that because when they see a movie that they don't like yet has enough hype to it, they will wreck it thus causing other viewers to deem it unnecessary to watch. Critics should just shut up for a month of showing of any movie then release their comments.
Make a movie from reign of chaos. Direct top 1 movie of the year.
The biggest mistake was trying to cater to both factions. they needed to start slow by following the novels. for example; if they did a movie based on the novel "the last guardian" and worked their way to the 1st war instead of rushing it, it would of been better.
They tried to tell a huge story in a short time. Human brain dont accept the things that cant handle. Thrall movie at the other hand could be much better. Or arthas and the lich king. Illidan and the war of ancients. Old gods and titans. This is a huge world contains lots of fantastic stories in it. You can make thousands of movies from it.
I loved this movie and if this movie would have been 5 hours long I would never get tired of it. Also, looks like a lot of people can’t wait to see WARCRAFT 2 movie... please make everyone’s wish come true! :) thank you!
Honestly the story of Warcraft is so massive a movie could not do it justice. It would do better as a netflix show. The problem is the production cost would be so high for a show.
The movie was awesome, the cast, the director, everyone, everyone made an amazing job at making it happen. I was playing warcraft since wc2, and i have played my fair share of wow. With the upcoming remastered release of warcraft coming out in the next year, blizzard should start working on the sequel soon.
If they made the story of Lich king in 3 Movies it would be as big as Lord of the rings, The raise of Lich king, The Plunder of Lich king, The Downfall of the Lich king
I have played WoW since it came out in 2004, and before that I played Warcraft. I would like to see a Warcraft 2 movie. I really loved the first one!!
The Warcraft movie wasn’t bad by any standards. The problem is that they put it in Warcraft 1. The movie altered lore and was filled with so much filler that it makes no sense to have it in a game that-as we all recall-had an improvised story. The whole film could’ve been explained in a flashback/intro narration (one cinemasin isn’t that bad, right?) and it was a waste for it to be in WC1.
The film should have been set in Warcraft 3. Arthas’ story was far too great for them to ignore. The film could start at the meeting of Arthas and Jaina outside of Andorhal, mention the events at Hyjal but skip straight to the middle of the undead campaign, cut the filler missions (only the latter half of Quel Thalas and Dalaran really mattered).
Basically...just cover everything needed? End the film on the Lich King being born as Arthas and set the sequel up for the war against Arthas.
The flipside of most of the tickets being sold outside the US: the movie was super-popular in China, and the studio that produced it is partly Chinese-owned. I think if it we do get a sequel, it will be China that makes it happen.
They needed to start with Arthas - as paladin, the first movie would end when Arthas destroys Stratholme (you could put so much shock value and huge drama on that), while heading to northrend. Second movie would be defeating Mal'ganis in northrend and returning to kill his father (once again, huge shock value and what a drama), Third movie would be Arthas weakening, and how hard he fights to regain his powers and become the Lich King, this movie would be a good set up for Sylvanas.
To anyone who thinks theyll make one: right now im holding 2 props from this movie- a footmans sword and a kul tiran shield.
They sold off almost if not all of the props across 2 auctions.
Almost 3000 props
They wouldnt have sold them all off if they wanted to make another any time soon
Instead of having live action movie like that or a 3D cgi ''that btw looks impossible''
we could have animated series, you know anime - cartoon style. That would be awesome imo.
Warcraft needs to be a tv show. There are to many main characters that need development. They can't do that in a 2 hour movie.
I say forget a Warcraft 2 movie. Blizzard just needs to make a series or movies like they do with their cinematic trailers. Those are sooo good and tell game lore better than Hollywood ever will.
I loved the Warcraft Movie, would like if they made a sequel, bet it would do way better than the original movie. If they made a sequel they should put the original movie out in theaters again a week or two before the sequel comes out. Bet it would do better than original showing. People are done with the Avengers, this would be something different that would appeal to many people in the states and abroad.
I don't care about the game...do another movie...it's ok to go outside the box a little. I just watched part 1 and wishing I could watch war craft 2!!
What Year do Warcraft 2 Will release, Its 2018 now, its been 2 years!
This shit really pissed me off. I’ve been waiting and hoping for the sequel only to find out there may not be one 😡
I know. With the detail they used for the orcs, imagine seeing the forest trolls.
This would never happen but how cool would it be if Netflix carried two versions of a Warcraft show. The same story, but one version of the series is solely from the perspective of the alliance and the other is solely from the perspective of the Horde.
One series could be called Warcraft: The Alliance and the other Warcraft: The Horde.
On the nose, I know, but it would be revolutionary.
Anyway. Just daydreaming. There’s no way it would ever really happen
Main problem is that the lore of Warcraft is way too big for the cinema. This needs to be a TV series on the same level as Game of thrones or West world. The movie wasn't terrible but the lore wasn't accurate and I think it's because they had to fit everything in a 2 hour length film.
the main reason Warcraft wasn't received well was because it has a loot of plot holes for non Warcraft player, over all it's a good movie, it's like going in to infinity war and not seeing all the other marvel movies, their was no build up of the alliance and no build up for the horde, i play the game an know the lore and i loved the movie, but i loved the movie because i know the lore
Happy Chinese New Year!
My Brother and I are American and Huge WOW Heads.
The most important thing to look at about the Movie is that Blizzard rushed into making the movie and should have started the movie from the beginning of the storyline so that they could capture a wider audience base and in doing so it would have taken a series of movies to complete the story rather than just 2 or 3.
if they made it years ago it would of been more popular
I really liked the movie but I felt that the vast majority of people who saw it didn't realize it was some what historical. It was about World of Warcraft lore. Yes it had Guldan and seemed like it was tied into the Legion expansion but it was actually about events that took place long before. I think so many people we confused about the time line they reviewed it negatively.
If people went in to see the movie and expected it to be WORLD of Warcraft, they would be disappointed...... it was based on WARCRAFT, 35 years BEFORE World of Warcraft
Maybe it would have been better if he just followed the lore
WitnessforChrist777 i totally disagree the movie is awsome. durotan and lothar are better characters in the movie so long.
WitnessforChrist777 no, wc lore is way to complicated even wow players who didn't played the wc wouldn't get the game lore,and you must think that in order to maximize the profit they aim to make the movie enjoyably for anyone regardless of they wc insight, therefor the movie is like this
Ok I agree WoW lore is complicated, especially for people that would be new to it. They could have started the first movie off simply going off the initial lore established in warcraft 1. Start simple and then expand on the lore similarly to how they did as the games progressed.
I never heard of this game as I'm not a gamer but I loved the movie, I can't wait for the sequel. I'm surprised no-one meaning a wwc fan haven't started a petition to have them make the sequel.
same
I feel like a movie or maybe even a miniseries that covers the fall of Arthas could go well
Everyone who played the original games on windows 3.0 and 97 will know and respect this film. I grew up playing orcs vs humans and tides of darkness for years before W3 was published. This is a great story of how everything began and I would love to see a ToD sequal leading into W3 trilogy and ending. The wow story has just too many characters to make a movie and would fail.
We want a lich king movie, are you with me?
All I want is a Black Empire movie
How does "it cost 160M to make but needed 450M to break even" work?
Why can’t they do an Arthas movie? That would break box office records. And everything else.
Is much as I enjoyed the movie, I couldn't help but find it a little... pointless? I'm a huge fan of the warcraft lore, and this movie changed so much by essentially smashing together the first and second wars, leaving the foundations for the rest of the lore completely the wrong places.
Personally, I think it wouldn’t have been so bad if the actors for Medivh and King Llane should’ve been played by different actors. Also, after Garona actress Patton took that drink with her pinky up I just couldn’t take her seriously afterwards.
maybe it was better to make a TV series for it, since it has a huge background plot. We will not be able to see the major plots only with movies, it will take far far more time for it. But if they insist of making the movie then, I'll suggest they continue with Lich King to achieve the records.
The problem with this movie was that it was too much of its own thing and not the Warcraft fans wanted
With them selling off the props from the first film I think its safe to say there will not be a sequel.
They should have started with Arthas. I get that wanted ot start at the beginning, but Arthas was the better story to be told. Once that was successful, they could have gone back and told guldan and lothar story.
The movie didn't make as much money as it should have because I knew of many people that watched it bootlegged from China. Thousands of fans watched the movie illegally and never spent the money on it in theaters because they had already seen it. If The movie was released in the states first and China later, it would have made more money.
The truth is you don’t need to have a war craft2 cause the first one fucking sucked.
I just watched this and thought it was awesome. Played wow for like 6 months when I was younger. Played humans, but I loved the two separate story lines. There's a good guy bad guy theme but there's power struggles and it gives the movie depth. They should make a tv series.
I want a sequel/s, because I want to see a fully grown and bad ass Thrall in action. For The HORDE!!
One thing the movie totally failed in , was how they presented time. Garona had learned the humans words from captured humans. So it means that the time between the orch arrivel to azeroth and her capture by the humans it was atleast a few mounths time. But in the movie it feels like days.
They could have easaliy fixed that with just looking a the map and Said like ” we have lost 6 garrisions in 5 mounths to an unknown enemy and the problem would have been solved.
But the actor playing khadgar Wasent good. The fight scenes was to slow and the story arc was really shallow.
The locals didn't support their movie and now the locals are whining about why blizzard is trying so hard to please China.
Atleast give us a date for warcraft 2
Perhaps it's better that they wait, that means we can get a reboot that won't be rushed and will stay true to the lore. This movie is still one of my favorite though!
Regardless of what Lore was told It was World Of Warcraft and it was told correctly. There should be at least one more movie
Maybe the Warcraft lore is too deep to be confined to movies, maybe they should do a series.
"Made the movie with the game in mind and for the fans" why did they changed so much of the original Story then?....
The movie was great! It’s just not the story we wanted. Half the players didn’t play or interact with these characters for years and the other half doesn’t even know them. I’m certain a story with Arthas, Jaina, Sylvanas, etc would be a huge success.
It’s easy guys:
Step one: Make a wow movie about the lich king
Step two: Profit
Step three: fucking Profit
It's like Celine Dion made the music for this. *wipes a tear away* Makes me miss my Undercity home. FOR THE HORDE!
