Fun fact: to power the opening of the Dark Portal, Gul'dan, the first orc warlock, and the one responsible for creating the Horde in the first place (albeit through his puppet Blackhand), had to suck out the souls of hundreds if not thousands of draenei, using them as fuel for his magic. The draenei (who look like blue humanoids, with males having face tentacles) are not native to Draenor, but instead to a world called Argus, which was dominated and broken by the Dark Titan Sargeras (who incidentally is the one possessing Medivh by the way) as he expanded the Burning Legion. The draenei (Exiled Ones in their language), led by the Prophet Velen, were able to escape Argus with help from angelic beings called Naaru, while most of their people, the Eredar, were transformed into demons by Sargeras. The draenei fled from world to world until reaching Draenor, where their dimensional vessel crashed. The world, by the way, is named after them. Gul'dan came into contact with the Eredar demonlord Kil'Jaeden the Deceiver, who is the real one responsible for the creation of the Horde. Kil'Jaeden was once Velen's dear friend, and has been hunting the draenei for millennia. This is why the Horde was especially cruel towards the draenei, even paving a huge road from their bones, which they called the Path of Glory. Anyway, the fact is that this backstory is why the initial drafts of the Warcraft movie was called "Blue Harvest".

I don't know if it could have drawn enough at the box office to warrant a sequel regardless of how good it was, so doing it in two parts would have been risky. It does suffer from being essentially two movies in one, though, and to me it always felt like the human half of the story was sort of half-baked and phoned-in. Kind of a feat that the orcs feel like the more real characters -- pretty stacked cast of mocap actors, too. The human half is also where the story more significantly deviates from the source material.

So many video game movies up to this point had such clear CONTEMPT for their source material -- Doom, Super Mario Bros., and so on. In recent years with Sonic and SMB Hollywood has FINALLY learned how to not be embarassed of the property it's adapting. But at the time this came out, WoW fans just wanted their favorite game to not be pissed all over on the big screen. I remember being in the theatre when the Murloc made its iconic gurgle, and i was like "Ok. This movie might actually like its audience! This might be cool!" and i still think I was right. it's a real shame they didn't let Duncan do another. It would have made a fine trilogy, or more.

In one of those Q&As I'm standing in line to ask my question (this was ages ago, I forget what I was asking about) but as my turn comes up, Todd Pawlowski who was the Customer Service VP decides to "guess my question" and proceeds to hijack my turn to "ask" about the Warcraft movie and then the executives took several minutes to talk to us about how the film was progressing. I didn't give a damn about the movie then, and I'm pretty sure none of the other hard working CS folks there cared much either. We were more concerned about silly things like pay & compensation, growth opportunities, problems with the game that caused us a lot of stress, etc. I did eventually get to ask my question which was mostly brushed off, but for several weeks, everyone who was in that Q&A when walking by me would ask if I wanted to know about the Warcraft movie.

For two, Warcraft lore is massive, and the movie tries to CRAM as much of it in as possible, which might scare the non-Warcraft fans.

This had me pissing my pants laughing. I love this movie, mostly because I have played WoW since I was about 5 years old. Went in as a 16 year old kid and loved looking at many of my favorite characters from the lore come to life. The CGI in this movie, for the time, I consider some of the best work ever done and some of the performances were astounding. I completely get why people would not like it, specially non-Warcraft fans but I find it thoroughly entertaining and fun.

I saw this movie with some friends when it was in theaters. Funny enough, I’m pretty sure half of us (including myself) had never played/read anything Warcraft-related before. The only things I remembered was the son dying and the orcs being pretty well-designed.

As a fan of warcraft, I really like this movie. The CGI is gorgeous

A big problem was that instead of it being the plot of "Warcraft" they wanted it to be a "World of Warcraft" movie with the plot of "Warcraft." Spending half the movie with Orcs was a waste of time, and would be more important for "Warcraft 2." More time was needed for Medivh which they spent on the Orcs. While there will never be sequels now (lol), Medivh comes back for "Warcraft 3" so spending more time with him would've been intelligent. They really wanted to shoehorn orcs all over the movie as part of the "Horde vs Alliance" marketing which they thought would appeal to players of the MMO, instead of establishing humans, azeroth, you know, the world that's supposed to matter. The Warcraft RTS games and novels actually have a very coherent and interesting story that they could've easily stuck to but didn't because marketing + the MMO lol. Also people in green makeup would've looked fine for orcs. no one would care. That, or the whole film should've been cgi like the Warcraft cutscenes.

I like to think about the people riding Mason’s tram that have zero idea that he is a famous podcaster with millions of fans all over the world.

Mason is the guy who appears sad on the outside but is actually happy on the inside. James is the guy who appears happy on the outside but is actually sad on the inside.
