The baby in the basket has been done before in another show (Exodus season 2 episode 4). Could be coincidence though.
Or it could be a major plot point in the best selling book of all time. Dyanetics? |

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

Not sure if serious.
The joke would be funnier if he had gotten the reference right, it was actually episode 3: But when she could hide him no longer, she got him a wicker basket and covered it over with tar and pitch. Then she put the child into it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile. --Dave |

Lok'Tar Ogar Ragnar! I like Travis Fimmel and Dominic Cooper but them being in this piece of shit saddens me. I kind of liked how orcs looked and for the most part wasn't as disappointed with how this looks compared to everyone around here it seems. Then there's Metzen aka baby jesus.....  At least the shoulderpads were the right size since this is the pre-t5 era  |

This will be amazingly bad. I'm just having difficulty on what scale the terribleness will be. It's got a higher budget so it can't be D&D movie bad. It doesn't have the ego driven director behind it so it can't be Avatar bad.
John Carter bad?
The Last Airbender bad?
I can't quite get the scale right.

New episodes of SW can be a good measure. |

I don't know. Can you compare the blueball levels of anticipation of the most treasured sci-fi property of all time and it's utter disappointment to an not really anticipated movie of the most popular western MMORPG of all time?

Hey now, John Carter was not THAT bad of a movie. Last Airbender however... And this movie is not going to be that bad... it'll make it to DVD. |

John Carter bad?
John Carter was a really good adaptation of the book. It's only failure was the complete catastraphuck of its marketing. |

John Carter was a really good adaptation of the book. It's only failure was the complete catastraphuck of its marketing. Carter was at best passable. It's worth a Netflix (is it on Netflix?) watch if you've got absolutely nothing else to do and you really need to sit on your couch. |

No it was pretty bad. Dejah Thoris was hot though  |

I thought John Carter was decent, actually. Just spent too much time with him being a Debby Downer in the beginning.

I liked Carter too and I'm a fan of the books. As escapism it did the job - once he got off Earth.

He was on Earth for like 5 minutes. The rest held pretty true to the books, looked good and was pulp fun. I mean, there are a fuckload worse movies out there that are far less enjoyable.
And Dejah Thoras was just criminally hot.

The Lion's Pride Inn in Goldshire: https://youtu.be/npvaRIoNBNQLooks pretty good, but I didn't notice any Night Elves in their underwear 'roleplaying'. |

Yep. I guess people were holding out hope that Moon-guy could pull a rabbit out of a hat, but that this movie is bad is the least shocking twist of all time.

It doesn't matter how good or bad it is, it's still 7 or 8 years too late.

This right here. The perfect release window would have been early in Cata, between it's launch at the first big patch. They also should have focused on Arthas, telling the story of WC3 through WotLK (it could even have been a trilogy: WC3, TFT, then WotLK). For bonus points, work in a deal with Fandango where if you go see the Warcraft movie you get an exclusive pet and/or mount. Then just sit back and enjoy your money hats. Instead we get Warcraft 1 The Movie (tm), featuring the story no one cares about, starring a bunch of characters no one's heard of, coming out years after the franchise is relevant. |

It's not even the story of game 1 though, is it? It's the story that takes place right before game 1 starts.
