I spent about 7 years doing nothing but teaching and playing world of warcraft, with occasional breaks on RM. And I find myself unexcited for this movie. A good trailer could change my mind

Curious as to why you didn't watch the trailer before making your previous post about how a good trailer could help change your mind?

That picture of the orc that they posted a few days ago didn't inspire confidence.

it hadn't loaded, and I assumed it was that useless 15 second trailer teaser.

Classic B

Ehh, wayyyy too much terrible CGI. I'll give it a shot, but, visually, it looks a cross between Shrek and The Hobbit. Not encouraging.

Looks like a videogame with some real actors sprinkled in it. Might as well have gone 100% CGI. Weird style.

[LoathedVermin72]

I have a feeling this might flop.

I am the target audience for this, and they did a great job capturing the aesthetic of the game. Having said that, nothing about that trailer ramped up my excitement

I have never played the video game, but I thought it looked fun. The orcs look pretty good IMO.

Just look at that baby Shrek awwwwww

Yeah the humans in the game are as stylized as the other characters. I would rather see that.

This looks just as bad as Pixels

I'm sure this movie has no fewer than 200,000 writers and executives and marketers slaving over every detail, Over/Under.

It will probably make some decent cash.

I really liked the first two movies Duncan Jones directed. And I was pretty hopeful when it was announced that he would be co-writing the script, but that trailer is pretty terrible.

This looks pretty damn bad. That trailer was not good.

that baby grows up to become the most important character in the game. Warcraft is a game steeped in lore and history, and I wonder how the movie will balance just throwing things in for hardcore fans vs necessary exposition vs not wanting the movie to feel like a wikipedia entry plus some fights
