whether it turns out good or bad I'll still down lo... I mean go watch it
will it be about a bunch of kids who plays WoW instead ? XD
This has the potential to be awesome, and the probability of being very bad.
Video game movie adaptations...ehhhh.
Based on previous game-movies.
It's going to suck.
However, a lot of people will probably go to see it.
Eh Usually Game's made into movies suck because the director etc sucks but this guy was the director of The Spider-Man trilogy so it might turn out alright, we'll see :p
Cool. Hope its on the whole lore of Warcraft. And mostly people from WoW will watch. An offtopic thing I wanna say is that, everytime people hear "Warcraft" they automatically think of WoW. Sometimes people mix up the RTS with the MMO. Hate it when I say I play Warcraft when someone says "OMG you play WoW you nerd."
starcraft comes next!!
Lol, I heard about this like a year ago. Still, I agree with Nuferex, Warcraft 1-3 is 4000x better than WoW, but people still think they are the say.
Me and my cousins are gonna see it xD
No. Just no !Quote:

So hopefully they break the terrible streak of shitty Video Game-to-Movie-Adaptations.
If not. Well, it will just end up being one more thing to look down on for those upon the "Warcraft / WoW Hate Bandwagon."
>_>
this could be very epic ..just think how semi cool lord of the rings was? this can be very epic and knowing blizzard you know this won't ever get released unless it's a true blockbuster. this will be huge, better then lotr imho if done right.
says he will be directing finish spidey4 before touching this, and spidey4 is due in cinemas only in 2011...
im so going to watch it
its most likely about the RTS warcraft and not the MMO.
yeah and ozzy osbourne as prince of darkness XDQuote:

the big question though, what part of the lore will it be about? arthas? the dark portal? thrall's beginnings? king varion? malfurion stormrage? so many possibilities
As soon as I saw "movie".
I screamed "NO" in my head.
There's a big chance its going to suck. If they were to make a Warcraft movie, its better to keep it 100% CG.
um,,,im pretty sure it will be based on its lore/story more then on which specific game and if it were to be based on any of them what in the world makes you think it would be wc3? it would undoubtedly be about wow, but in anycase it won't be based on either it will be its lore.Quote:

lotro has alot more lore than wow, btw. and was written by an epic fantasy author. . .all they had to do is fill in a good cast, get a director who knows what they are doing and follow the goddam book.Quote:

Not all movies that don't follow original plot are failures. Sometimes the worst thing is that it's unnecessary not to, but it can still turn out enjoyable.Quote:

Even movies like The Dark Knight and Iron Man don't follow plot rigidly.
So, Warcraft could be good or it could be poor, this doesn't necessarily depend on the plot being true, so long as the changes are necessary and well done.
Fixed.Quote:

Guys, they're gonna do an awesome job.
Where's the faith?

be serious you guys, there is a high probability that this film is going to stink. but because of the godly fanbase its going to be the number one film of the year anyway in money earned and records broken... probably.
but theres still a high probability that it will stink. movies dont turn out great just because they are based on something great. nor do they turn out great because people say dumbass stuff like "its going to be the next ____"
LOTR trilogy isnt awesome because its based on the lotr trilogy or because it won like a billion awards that one time. its awesome because of the acting and music and attention to detail and the mad amounts of cgi that manage to not look shitty or get too repetitive.
if the only thing a warcraft movie has going for it is thats its "a warcraft movie" then its going to be pants. just like a halo movie. or a doom movie. or a max payne movie. oh wait they already did some of those.
my words.
heed them.
i really don't think you could really replicate the warcraft universe very well without it being CG
I don't care if its bad or good, I'm still going to see it because I love the lore, and I've played wc3 and WoW for 2 and a half years. Love it!
WOw, I'm excited to watch this movie.. Ahaha
I'll be waiting for the release and I think they got the right choice on choosing Sam Raimi as the director...^^
