  1. Warcraft [2016]@sirdelly512d

    Hello friends, I'm here with interesting movie title Warcraft and I would like to share you with here.

    The movie is about a few human survivors must team up with a group of dissenting Orcs to stop an Orc horde from invading their planet through a magic portal.

    It begins when Draenor, home world to the orcs, is being torn apart by a force known as fel magic.

    Orc warlock Gul'dan unites the orc clans into the Horde, and creates a portal to another world, Azeroth, by using fel magic to drain the life out of captive draenei.

    Gul'dan leads a small war band through the portal to capture and sacrifice prisoners on Azeroth to bring the Horde.

    Durotan, chieftain of the Frost wolf Clan, his pregnant mate Draka, and his friend Orgrim Doomhammer join this initial warband.

    On Azeroth, Draka goes into labor, and Gul'dan rescues Go'el, the dying baby, by draining the life out of a deer to revive and infuse him with fel magic.

    The orcs raid settlements throughout Azeroth. Anduin Lothar, commander of the human forces of Storm wind Kingdom, finds trespassing mage Khadgar investigating the bodies of the slain men.

    Meanwhile, Khadgar notices the bodies contain traces of fel magic. Storm wind's king, Llane Wrynn, sends them to the stronghold Karazhan to inform Medivh, the Guardian of Tirisfal, of the fel magic's presence on Azeroth.

    Lothar, Khadgar, and Medivh join a scouting team following traces of fel magic, but are ambushed by orcs.

    Medivh uses a spell to kill the few-corrupted orcs, leaving the Horde's war chief, Black hand, to flee along with Durotan and Orgrim.

    The team takes a half-orc slave, Garona, as a prisoner, but Llane releases her in exchange for loyalty to Storm wind. Garona leads the humans to spy on the orc camp, where they learn of Gul'dan's plan to bring the Horde to Azeroth.

    Furthermore, While studying a book found in Medivh's library, Khadgar realizes that Gul'dan had help from someone in Azeroth opening the portal.

    Despite Orgrim's objections, Durotan meets with Llane secretly to unite the Frost wolf Clan and the humans against Gul'dan, but the group is ambushed by Black hand. Medivh forms a magical barrier to protect the humans' retreat, but Lothar's son Callan is separated from the group and killed by Black hand.

    Medivh is weakened, and Garona and Khadgar take him back to Karazhan to recover. Khadgar eventually realizes that Medivh is the one who helped Gul'dan, having been corrupted by fel magic.

    At the orc camp, Black hand purges the Frost wolf Clan. Orgrim helps Draka to escape. After sending Go'el down a river in a basket, Draka is found and killed.

    Durotan challenges Gul'dan to Mak'gora, a duel to the death for leadership of the orcs.

    During the fight, Gul'dan violates the honorable combat rules by draining the life out of Durotan with magic, killing him and earning the disapproval of the orcs watching.

    He then empowers Blackhand with the same magic. Medivh, now in a half-demonic state, starts to open the portal to Draenor, and Gul'dan begins sacrificing the captured humans to allow the rest of the Horde to enter Azeroth.

    Llane leads the human army in an assault on the orc camp, while Lothar and Khadgar fight Medivh and destroy the demon that began to manifest on the outside.

    Medivh is mortally wounded, and uses the last of his strength to close the portal to Draenor. He then opens a portal to Storm wind, allowing Llane to evacuate most of the freed prisoners.

    Medivh dies and the portal closes, leaving Llane, Garona, and a few human soldiers to fight the orcs.

    Find out what happened next as Llane, Garona, and a few human soldiers to fight the orcs as it gets more interesting.

    Thanks for reading my content.

  2. Warcraft: A universe of magic and adventure. From the game to the movie remains a long way.@valentin861019d

    Warcraft: A universe of magic and adventure. From the game to the movie remains a long way.

    Warning 📖 ~ ⛩️ The videos i found on YouTube is a fictional reality of a movie that doesn't exist yet. In general, Warcraft 2 has not been officially announced by Blizzard Entertainment or any other movie studio. Therefore, all the information in what you will discover in this blog post is purely speculative.

    **However, a Warcraft 2 movie may be in the works ~ yep, no word on that yet. I honestly wish it existed, but it doesn't. The 2016 film Warcraft was an international commercial success, grossing over 433 $ million at the box office. I don't understand what's going on about this?**

    If a Warcraft 2 movie is made, it is likely to continue the story from the first movie. The original film followed the conflict between the humans of Azeroth and the orcs, who were forced to move from their home world called Draenor. Fans of the mmorpg game World of Warcraft are still waiting for such a movie.

    **With stunning visuals and state-of-the-art visual effects, a future Warcraft 2 movie could be a true commercial and critical success. The original film was criticized for its script and lack of originality, but was praised for its visuals and the actors' performances.** ``` ``` **Of course, it's impossible to say for sure if a Warcraft 2 movie will be made or not. However, it is a real possibility given the commercial success of the first film. Personally, i would like to see a sequel.**

    The chances are relatively low, but not impossible. Yep, as i said the 2016 film Warcraft was a commercial success internationally but received mixed reviews from critics. In those epic moments, director Duncan Jones stated that he would like to make more Warcraft films, but that it depends on the commercial success of the first film. Blizzard Entertainment, the company that created the Warcraft universe, has also said that it is interested in making more Warcraft movies, but that it is waiting to see how the first movie is received. Yep, there already seems to be a problem with those expectations ~ something is going on!!

    **For those who do not know the story of the film, i could say that it is 100% inspired by the mmorpg game of the World of Warcraft universe, which is a rich and complex fantasy universe. Players can choose from a variety of classes and races, each with their own skills and abilities. Players can explore a vast universe, fight monsters, complete quests and interact with other characters.** ``` ``` **I really enjoyed World of Warcraft. It was my first mmorpg game that i experienced and of course others followed ~ but this was the one that gave me a new version of exploring the digital world in a pretty fantastic way. The game was and i still think it would be fun, addictive that offers a lot of things to do.** ``` ``` **The Warcraft universe is one of the most immersive and interesting i've ever come across in a video game. There is so much history and culture to explore, and each race and class has its own unique set of skills and abilities. Yep, therefore i would like those directors to receive the funds and of course the permission to continue in the production of future motion pictures that will be inspired by this universe called Warcraft.**

  3. Warcraft (film): I struggled to make it all the way through@netflixr1811d

    I was a fan of the games way back when they were new. I never played any of the online game World of Warcraft though even though it is my understanding that this has a huge fan-base and makes tons of money.

    Because it is such a common word with gamers, when this popped up on Netflix I figured I would give it a go especially when you consider the $160 million budget that went into making it. At first, I was entertained, then it lulled, then I got lost and didn't know what the hell was going on, then I got bored, then I quit.

    I don't think the story here needs any introduction to anyone and honestly it isn't a very good story. In this film the Humans and Orcs are not really at war with one another initially, but something bad starts happening among the Orc "world" and they open a portal that leads them to be facing off against the humans. Then basically a bunch of fighting happens and the CGI dominates almost all of what is going on the screen.

    That's basically the movie and while that might be ok with some people that are massive fans of WoW, I don't think it really resonates all that well with the general population.

    Another thing that gets under my skin about this is that they had a massive budget of nearly 200 mil, yet a lot of the scenes still look quite fake. I think that this film would have been better off if they had simply made it animated instead. Why they decided to go the route that they did doesn't make much sense to me since they almost certainly could have made this more visually appealing by simply making it animated instead of going for a 300 approach.

    I mean look at this; that is a scene from the actual film and nothing in that scene other than Travis Fimmel (who you probably recognize from Vikings) looks real. I don't know how much more money they would have needed to spend on it in order to make it look realistic but I guess more than $160 million.

    The film did very poorly in US theaters and it was only due to the international marketing and release that this film didn't lose buckets of cash. I don't know how much money they made in the end because I can't find how much they spent on marketing the film overseas, but it was considered a commercial disappointment despite raking in nearly $440 million at the box office.

    There are very few professional critics that had anything positive to say about this movie and I agree with most of what I read especially where one critic said "too many mysterious proper nouns being thrown into conversation and at least 12 major characters competing for space." Therein lied the major problem for me: I didn't know who the hell they were talking about half the time and this made the story extremely difficult to follow. I tried to simply focus on the action - which is clearly what this film is all about but like I said before, a lot of this seemed fake and forced. The mythology is presented to us in a fast-forward fashion as well, and this makes those of us that are not WoW players extremely confused.

    Even die-hard fans of the games didn't care much for this film and it currently has a 28% rating on Rotten Tomatoes

    Should I watch it?

    I think the only way that most people are going to be able to enjoy this film would be if they basically just skip all of the dialogue and head straight to the action sequences because like I said before, the story is tough to follow and at the end of it all it is just a long winding pathway to the orcs and humans uniting against a common threat - that is what I did and the ending battles were pretty cool. I reckon about 50% of the overall budget was spent on that. The character development is a waste of time and most video game movie adaptations suffer from this same common flaw. I'm not going to say to avoid it because parts of it are entertaining but for the most part, there is no real story there and anything other than the action could easily be skipped and you wont be missing out on much.

  4. 'Warcraft' by Duncan Jones Review: Destined to carry the weight of expectations@namiks2916d

    Warcraft.jpg

    Released in 2016 and directed by Duncan Jones, shortly before World of Warcraft's next expansion, Legion, Warcraft serves as the first full-length live-action-ish feature within the universe of Warcraft; an exciting event for many fans of the franchise.

    Unfortunately, the film has a number of issues, but none of them are particularly large. The film itself isn't terrible. It was a decent attempt to broaden the narrative of the franchise by bringing it to the cinema, it just felt incredibly lacking.

    With all the depth, the lore, the characters, strange events and locations within the games, Warcraft seems to have centred itself around a very, very small portion of it. For the most part, I believe this is where it felt so underwhelming, allowing it's overall focus to just miss.

    The narrative is set around the events in the previous expansion, Warlords of Draenor, in which a powerful warlock advances his Orcish Horde to the lands of the Alliance through a portal created and powered by the life-force of captives themselves. With the Alliance set on defending their land and people, and many Orcs within the Orcish Horde disbelieving in Gul'dan's torturous magic that thrives on life itself, the two groups combine forces to combat him.

    While there are many scenes that are pretty enjoyable, they're often the ones that really feel like they belong in the film and universe of Warcraft, but a considerable amount of the film's structure is trying to make the viewer care for the characters by showing us brief moments of their lives. It just doesn't really manage to connect with the little time it was given, but to a degree it is nice to see the attempt made; rather than sticking entirely to action and 'cool things'.

    It's safe to say that the film was made to help advertise the next expansion within World of Warcraft -- and dwindling subscription numbers have been evident for a while, given Blizzard no longer displays the total count -- but I truly believe having it a feature rather than a series was its mistake. There was simply too much to say and show, and just not even time. A series would have worked better, giving space to the character development, action, and world that many fans were expecting to see on a larger screen.

    It's good to establish that this film is a disappointment, but only due to the fact that it fell deep into mediocrity. It's not necessarily a bad film, it was just already carrying a heavy weight of expectations on its shoulders the moment it was announced. As a standalone film, I believe Warcraft would have performed a lot better, even established its own little extended universe.
