neetro, well analysed and nicely written. I think you hit nail’s head with your “professional” reviewer predisposition discussion. I’ve played a fair amount of WOW (but not the earlier versions) and hadn’t really expected I would see it: been previously burned. But, with your excellent review and comparison, I’ve…

It’s pretty good, most everyone I’ve talked to that hates it, hated it before they even went and seen it.

Thrall and Arthas will forever fight with each other to be “the most prominent”.

I would like to see Warcraft 2 tell the story of Thrall and Arthas, and maybe have Warcraft 3 tell the story of Thrall traveling to Kalimdor and meeting the Tauren and the other races and establishing the Horde.

I think it’s basically pleasable fans of the Warcraft universe vs unpleasable fans. I thought they did a great job with the movie, but there’s an entire group of people who literally wouldn’t be happy with anything, and unfortunately, they’re louder on the internet (I generally tend to think that this is due to…

Ah, I see. I think it’s fine since this is the first movie. I am sure Blizzard will want to have more follow up movies and it didn’t do terribly internationally. They will have chance to introduce him later.

Try glasses man. Best CGI ever.

Being battered by negative reviews and bad vibes, I went in with a preconceived notion of how its going to be like. Well, I really liked it. I mean, really-REALLY liked it. Maybe its the nostalgia of seeing Goldshire, seeing the Gryphon landing at the exact spot in Stormwind’s flight hub..maybe its just seeing this…

I find it benefited from being not so much a “video game” (yeah it’s a video game) as more of a big interactive historical epic in video game form. Warcraft actually has a history that goes back several tens of thousands of years on both of the main planets (Draenor and Azeroth). Not even going to get into the alien…

I think this is a movie which will find a larger following once it goes to home media forms. It’s incredibly dense and there are important parts that really explain everything that happen in seconds. I found myself re-playing several key points in order to fully understand what the fuck just happened. Personally, I…

Ya know, I really liked this movie. It told the story it wanted to tell, and it did so pretty well. Everyone on screen does a solid job with their characters, and while the first about quarter of the movie feels like a good bit was edited out for runtime, over all, it was a solid film. Sure, it’s not gonna be a…

That’s no sargeras, you can’t kill Sargeras like they killed him which is why Medhiv dies in his human for in the game. I thought they should have introduced him to make the stakes higher, but make his power proportional with the amount of “fel” in the world so that he’s kind of too weak to reclaim hiw own body and it…

I loved it too. Fuck the haters.

He is more Green Skinned Moses. He literally leads the Horde to the promised land and in the movie is sent down a river as an infant and raised alongside his enemies.

funny because I came away thinking it was the best game to film adaptation by a longshot (which still isn’t much praise I suppose)

He’s Green Moses, not Green Jesus.

Jesus Christ with this. Thrall is MOSES. Sent away down a river to avoid slaughter, raised by his enemies, lead his people out of bondage.

MOSES.

All I know is that he needs to put his searing totems in storage where they belong.

In terms of importance? I figure Medivh or the dragons was more important in terms of overall lore.

Next to Arthas. I’d say Arthas and Thrall are tied in terms of “Most prominent Warcraft characters.” with Illidan coming in 3rd place.
