Thanks Blazzok - I will look through the lore. I did play Warcraft 1, 2 and 3 Never liked WOW that much- Read up quite a bit about it in my younger days and that is one of the reasons I think I enjoyed Warcraft more than my friends. Alas, I have forgotten so many things about it - will be great to catch up.Originally Posted by Blazzok
Great news - I will surely watch the second movie too!
yesterday we watched:
divergent allegiant part 1 - what a load of poop
huntsman winter's war - more poop
whiskey tango foxtrot - actually quite good
Over the weekend we watched Grimsby, Sasha Baron Cohen's latest film. It was alright, with a couple of silly, funny moments, but pretty forgettable.
We also watched Neighbours 2. It was decent, not as good as the first one, but worth a couple of laughs.
And last night, we watched Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It was good fun, made all the more interesting with my wife going "Oh, that's a quote from the real book" or "Oh, that's not from the book!" every now and then. It did actually give me some perspective to what Pride and Prejudice is actually about, and I can understand why it's considered a classic.
I'm actually really enjoying the Divergent series. Mainly started watching it because of Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort (they were in The Fault In Our Stars and I'm a massive John Green fan).
That got me to read Veronica Roth's books, which were frustrating and disappointing... until the end. Thanks to the well-crafted ending I forgave everything leading up to it.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.
No man Jan! The Divergent series and Shailene Woodley is right up there with Twilight and what's her plank face
SO and I watched the first movie. It was alright, but parts felt like people just wanted to go home for the day. SO read the books, and ranted for three days about the shit ending, so we're skipping the rest of the movies, thankfully
Warcraft. And as an avid Warcraft fan and player... I was disappointed.
My wife went to watch it with me. And for someone not knowing much from Warcraft she had little to no idea what was going on.
They could have done so much more. They portrayed the Horde to be so evil as well :/
Well the Horde was evil due to the corruption by Fel Magic thanks to Gul'dan. Orcs weren't evil in nature before being tainted however, which is shown via Durotan and his Frostwolf clan.
Also, the story so far seems easy to follow. Orc homeworld is in a bad way, so the Orcs need a new world. A portal is opened to a new world however the native inhabitants (humans) don't like these new guys breaking all their shits, so they fight back to get rid of them. The fight doesn't go all that well for the humans however the portal does get closed. There are still orcs in Azeroth and Gul'dan is still alive so there is more shit to come.
I was not disappointed in the movie at all and I need more!
They did not show orcs before they were corrupted, Where the Fel Magic came from and how Gul'dan got into power. I feel they could've done so much more unfortunately :/
Yeah I know, but they can easily show that in the sequel, because we don't know about Sargeras, Kil'jaeden, Ner'Zhul, etc. either, but to include all that the movie would have become quite long.
I feel what they did is fine for now and as the plot develops they can have flashbacks to show what happened in the past.
