ITT: Shit movies that were actually kino

WoW has lot of potential for a movie, but lore there's little bit too much of it, it was probably really hard to adapt to the movie. Rise of the Horde book would have been kino material for a movie but I understand why they didn't do it. Pretty much every movie these days that isn't animated has to have humans in it, and that book doesn't have any humans until very end.

It started somewhat okay and then went completely downhill after the first movie. If they actually gave Peter Jackson enough pre-production time I think it could have been better maybe.

It could've been great if they went full-CGI. Live-action was strange, especially the casting. Khadgar looks like a fucking pre-pubescent mexican

Everyone only cares about Arthas. Nobody gives a shit of what happened before Warcraft 3 or after Wrath of the Lich King. If they want to make a Warcraft movie with maximum appeal, it has to have the him as either the protagonist or antagonist.

They should have just bit the bullet and done Arthas it was the only way to make the money they wanted.

Trying to do the whole trilogy was clearly (((Activision))) greed.

Realer than real life

He's a big guy

I care...

How is this even possible?

I think WCII would work better as a limited series because it would have to focus more on an ensemble case and actual political machinations of the horde and alliance.

>Honestly, why put her in the movie?

Because she's supposed to kill Llane. That's the extent of her significance in that period of lore.

It could've been a lot worse. Jackson only agreed to it because he knew New Line was going to hire someone else who Jackson knew would fuck it up and have no respect for the source material.

i am hopeful that they will do a remake of this trilogy years from now. it could even be peter jackson again for all i care. he would probably still include some dumb shit in it, but lots of other flaws would get fixed most likely, like the shitty rushed visuals

They should have started with Road to Damnation and followed up with Arthas arc, then gone the orc route.

>passion project
>flying Dalaran in the First War
lol no

They probably did it just because flying Dalaran is already more iconic and they don't have to explain it in later movies

fucking love how hard this movie flopped both critically and commercially
especially after the director and blizzard and all the blizzdrones kept hyping this shit up to be the first legit good gaming movie, and how this movie would obviously bring in enough money to produce sequels lmao

Fuck me the CGI in that film is amazing.

based fucking orgrim

I agree but it's still dumb. Dalaran needs to be destroyed by Archimonde in order for it to fly.

to be fair it would be pretty kino for him to crash this city with no survivors

You can tell Duncan Jones wanted to make a fun fantasy movie loosely based on Warcraft, but blizzard kept making him follow the lore so he did what he could. Overall not as bad a movie as people make it out to be.

>it's a "movie is so shit but fanboys blame it on everyone other than the director" episode
just accept that the movie is trash and duncan jones is largely to blame for this

Cast him

>reminder critics thought first LOTR movie sucked
>reminder most people thought batman begins sucked
this was a backstory establishing movie
the next movies will be fucking legendary

jesus christ the cope on this one

not with that dog mila kunis in the leading role

scourge stuff is cool but draenor lore is cooler

What makes it cool?

Nothing in this post is true

>The film that killed Jacksons career

Do you think he regrets it?

No, it was shit. Saw it on opening night and was incredibly disappointed. Warcraft is probably one of the easiest video game franchises to turn into a successful and non-cringy movie franchise, but they still managed to fuck it up.

>green thanos

Big plot point was Dalaran wasn't able to deal with the hordes of undead humans.

i don't think he regrets making the movies, but i'm pretty sure he regrets how they turned out

>oh no they put a woman in my movie
have sex incel

So it wasn't shit

>Saw the original trilogy in the cinema 4-5 times per film

Even if it would have ended up shit Jackson should have stayed away from that trainwreck.

Someone post the image of Gandalf looking sad at all the greenscreen around him

that movie was surprisingly dark and serious for an arnie flick. I loved it.

>Someone post the image of Gandalf looking sad at all the greenscreen around him
that pic was taken wildly out of context, though. even ian mckellen himself later admitted he was being a drama queen and that being part of these movies was one of the best things to happen to him
