Next summer.
Figured people had kept up with it. They moved it to summer because they like what they've seen so far.

No, it's live action. Well, aside from the CG bits.

It finished filming a year ago (almost to the day) and has been in post ever since with ILM doing a massive amount of CG work. It was originally due to be out in December this year but then Disney announced a sequel release to some obscure franchise not many people had heard of at around the same time so Universal, liking what they saw, moved it back 6 months to be a big summer release. |

Clearly inaccurate, the shoulder pads need to be at least 5x bigger.

Also, the Horde armour should be 5x more detailed with 3x as much back-story, amirite?  |

After years of conditioning the huge shoulders actually look good to me and I know they shouldn't.

Leaked footage on Wednesday. Was late for a call just so i could watch it before it got pulled  Showed a sequence of orcs approaching the dark portal thing to invade Norrath for water and such. Ended with them entering the gate. I'd look up the name of the main Orc guy in the sequence but don't give enough shit. Looked like Avatar but in brown. |

That would make it worse. It needs to be filmed in Boston.  |

I'll be happy with it if they have a scene where the hero's in the Barrens and everyone is cursing all the time.
And Mankirk. Gotta have Mankirk.

Starting to think it couldn't stink worse than the new superhero movies Some fanatic on Reddit was convinced that if it does great, this will kick-off a whole series of GOOD video game movies the same way Spider*Man did in 2001. I'd hate for him to be right, but then realized that there's very few well-written stories or well-developed characters in wildly popular games, which has been part of the problem. Therefore there's little chance of that. |

I still fail to see the idea of a video-game movie. Video games with heavy stories (Mass Effects and such) shouldn't need a movie because they are interactive experiences, like movies +. And I'm pretty sure Warcraft's cinematics are a better movie than anything Hollywood can produce out of the slivers of narrative in the backstory.

There's virtually no video game ever that has originated a story or setting--videogames simply change how you relate to a familiar story or setting. I do think some videogames have created memorable *characters* but that's about it. Stories, settings, worlds in videogames are all derivative of something we've seen, read or heard in other media. So when you make a video game movie, you're usually just doubling-down on the derivative feeling, like a boomerang returning to sender.

14 years ago we had Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. I watched it a few months ago. Say what you will about it, but the animation still looked pretty impressive.

It also was a story that only was related to the games in that it had the same "something is killing the planet's soul" theme. So it really isn't a "video game" movie except the title and the fact that it used video game technology to render the animation. |
