![]() I loved to see a few comedic situations between Khadgar and Lothar. I loved to see Stormwind, Ironforge, Redridge Mountains, Westfall, Karazhan, and Black Morass. so it was refreshing to learn how from the movie. I don’t recall any novel ever explaining why Thrall is green. We get to see why Thrall is green when his parents never drank from the blood of the demon Mannoroth, which was disturbing but totally made sense in this movie adaptation. You are floating through what seems like a goo pool in slow motion, until you reach the other side of the portal. That scene where Gul’dan siphons the souls of the draenei to empower the Dark Portal was epic, and for the first time ever we get to see what happens when you step into the Dark Portal when you see the loading screen in-game. Nevertheless, they follow the Horde through the Dark Portal. Later on, you can understand that these brown orcs fear Gul’dan and do not like what his Fel (demonic) magic has done to the land. These are not those evil grotesque orcs you know from Lord of the Rings. This is shown in many of the trailers out there. Durotan and Draka have this emotional moment where he touches her pregnant belly, and both lay down to laugh. There was nothing difficult to understand about the movie from the very beginning. Did you see how one of the orcs hurls a horse at one of the footmen? Crazy, right? The orcs look so real, gigantic and powerful. I have never seen anything like WARCRAFT before. So it baffles me when I see critics call WARCRAFT the worst 2016 film. There were battles with sword, and magic, and a lot of it, but it was enjoyable. I had absolutely no knowledge about that story setting. Or the Fellowship or who the flip Gandalf was. If you asked me what was my first impression after watching Lord of the Rings, I would say it was fun to watch, but I had no clue what a hobbit was, or what Golllum was, or who Sauron is, or what’s up with all the rings and the ONE ring. They watched the film with no knowledge of who the characters are, or what the core of the story is about. ![]() I understand many of those critics and the general public has never read a Warcraft novel, or played the games. I’m right now watching Star Trek: Next Generation Season 6 - which tells you how profoundly I love the mythos. ![]() I was probably age 8 when I first watched Star Wars, and Star Trek The Original Series in the earlry 1980s. I have never read any of the Tolkien books, but when I first watched Lord of the Rings, not knowing who the characters were, I still loved it. ![]() I still do not understand why a large portion of reviews out there are so inflammatory and spewing hateful vibe toward the WARCRAFT film. I watched “Moon” shortly after he was announced to be the director of “WARCRAFT,” merely to get a glimpse into his past work. So it wasn’t hard to trust he would make a great movie adaptation. He’s a down to Earth gentleman, and a true and proud geek like any of us. I followed Duncan Jones on Twitter from the beginning and he’s demonstrated his passion for the Warcraft mythos countless of times, and I have witnessed his humor, and geekiness. Even more when Duncan Jones took over the reins. For years, I looked forward to watch the Warcraft Movie. ![]()
