War craft on the Big screen

Uh, why? Warcraft brings nothing new or original to the table that would set it apart or above LOTR for example. I predict this will be at the dollar theater two weeks after release.

Well, WC has some moral ambiguity that LOTR lacks (at least post-WCIII), but other than that...

I guess the film producers simply like to take the most derivative game plots to make films of, like Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and now this.

Not that it matters that they were derivative plots as games, since they were fun to play as games, but in a film?

Uwe Boll exclusively buys the rights to video games because the rights are cheap, and the game comes with an already established fanbase.

If you haven't seen Blood Rayne, do it. Craptacular.

Trailer for Uwe Boll's next masterpiece:

You mean like how Blizzard hates fags?

and Doom!

Blizzard? They won't do that, like they never did Warcraft Adventures.

Nacho · Fri 12/05/2006 09:15:41

I hope it will so good as Alone in the Dark, the movie.

Alynn · Fri 12/05/2006 12:23:40

I thought this had something to do with a water closet...

Ishmael · Fri 12/05/2006 12:31:18

Around here 'WC' means a toilet...

ildu · Fri 12/05/2006 16:19:00

Uwe Boll has a lot more brewing. Don't forget the movie versions of Postal in 2007 (naturally with Gary Coleman) and Far Cry in 2008. Uwe continues his rape.

Krysis · Fri 12/05/2006 16:26:06

At least he's not touching "Monkey Island" ot "Day of the Tentacle". If he ever does I am going to kill him.
As for WC... I don't care anymore. People should know when to stop. Warcraft 2 was enough. :

World of warcraft has 6 million players... many of which would see the movie 2 or 3 times. It's a brilliant idea, all they have to do is run with it.

All this insulting of WC3 and TFT (The Frozen Throne...) makes me sad...

Paper Carnival · Fri 12/05/2006 17:04:34

Videogames to Movies (or vice-versa) conversions actually have a lot of potential, but the film makers don't fully use it. They know that most fans of the videogame will watch their movie anyway.

This is even worse in movie-to-game conversions.

vict0r · Fri 12/05/2006 18:21:40

Warcraft actually has a brilliant story. I dont want to sound like the warcraft geek who knows all about it, but looking through the different games there is alot of potential.

lo_res_man · Fri 12/05/2006 19:54:22

Yes I agree there is a lot of backstory for these games, enough that they made books about them (I have never read them so I can't say how good they are) But they will probably screw it up. Though I will admit that "Wing Commander" (the movie) was fun, but not much else.

TFT

THE FAMILY TREASURE

Anyway Warcraft IMO has alot of potential and well like you said should of stopeed at 2

I enjoyed the mini games and the diablo style mods for the engine alot. But WOW looks kewl I am however not a member. Also a movie has awesome potential sequal after sequal after... you get the drift. Anyway what I am saying is that Dracula was a hit and the new Bram Stokers Draculas Curse 2006 I have seen better ametuer films with better sfx and acting.

Spoiler

Funniest part in movie well probably saddest part is where the chick (susspose to be the "one") is punching punching bag like a wimped out 4 year old... but she is susspose to kill all the vampires.. yeah well whatever then in the next shot she walks into the room and kills a whole room full of them

WTF is wrong with these actors!!!

[close]

Nuff said...

PS The superman movie comming out soon is going to drive me nuts... if it sucks which i think it will since well smallville is probably way better

o the superman link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348150/

Nacho · Fri 12/05/2006 20:21:24

I would like to see Starcraft better... $:-\$

lo_res_man · Fri 12/05/2006 20:30:17

speaking of starcraft, did anyone buy the Warcraft battle-net battle chest? and see the preview for starcraft? if so does anyone know what the opera singer was singing? Gritty futuristic battle scenes, andÃ,Â opera, somehow, very appropriate. Any way I loved how it melded.
