Saw it in the local cinema last night, it was great!

**krodarklorr**

Saw it last night. As a fan of Warcraft 3 and a longtime player of WoW, I must say they brought the universe to life. Sure it wasn't as action packed as I'm sure people were hoping for, but I actually liked that. They had all the big characters, and a ton of subtle shout-outs to the MMO. All-in-all, I effing loved it.

I saw it last week, and you know what, I enjoyed it

It's no Blade Runner or Inception or Alien, but it's an enjoyable movie, and I can say that as a huge fan of Warcraft 3 and WoW.

I can see why it irks people, but different strokes for different folks and all that.

I just came back from the movie and I enjoyed it. I've never played warcraft so some of the moments were lost on me and the story felt a little clumsy, but it was still fun to watch. I really enjoyed how they made orcs compelling characters rather than mindless bad guys.

Best video game movie I've seen (whatever that's worth).

**ZergSmasher**

I just saw the movie earlier today and I enjoyed it. Good action, decent story, and the CGI was not as bad as some people have said it was. One thing that may have helped my enjoyment is the fact that I basically knew nothing of the Warcraft universe before seeing the movie. My only real exposure to it until today was from Hearthstone.

Going to see it late today. Looking forward to it!

**Hulksmash**

I'm seeing it Wednesday with a buddy and I'm looking forward to it.

They even got a Murloc in there, but no sign of Leeroy Jenkins...

Apparently alot of deleted scenes had alot more content for the fans.

Pity it's bombing at home. But maybe abroad will save it and we'll still get more. It's at almost 300 million and it only cost 160 million to put together.

It's box office isn't the most encouraging, but I think anyone with a brain can tell there is potential for future films, and anything that was wrong about this one can be learned from. The film isn't a bomb so I think there is hope for more in the future

I personally can't wait for a movie about Arthas Menethil and the Third War.

The first war is a bore, but the second war has a better cast and is better written.

Yeah, I thought the First War was a strange choice to start out on too. But I guess they wanted to introduce fans to this new timeline.

Its better than the War of the Ancients which was the other choice.

But they had to introduce Azeroth Somehow. They can't do the background lore of the Nation of Arathor or else it would be too much information.

**Compel**

I think it's doing terrible in the west but absolutely completely and totally rocking in China.

Wife and I watched on Friday, we both enjoyed the movie.

Wife did not like how they modeled the Dwarves, too much face not enough body, and enjoyed seeing their vision of the inside of Ironforge, as that was her favorite alliance race.

I had only one gripe, but after talking it over, it makes sense to change it.

**usernamesareannoying**

I liked it a lot.
There were some cool shoutouts to the game.
I liked the cgi but I did start to wonder why the orcs were so ham fisted. They looked a bit like wreck it ralphs inbred cousin.

Were there trolls and goblins thrown in there? I saw a few crazy critters but they went by fast.

As much as I like the Kaldorei I would not have wanted to watch a movie just about them.

**Hulksmash**

Saw it yesterday. I enjoyed it. I had fun picking out locations from Azeroth and seeing the world come to life. The CGI was good. I enjoyed the spectacle.

How is the 3D?

The previews made the 3D look unwatchable, and I figure that if I end up watching it in the theater it will be in 2D. But I wanted to get some feedback from others who have watched it in 3D.

**Hulksmash**

I watched it in 2d so I have no idea. I feel like this wouldn't benefit from 3rd.

**creeping-deth87**

Just came back from the movie and I really dug it. I've never played a Warcraft game in my life, I just wanted a pretty looking fantasy epic and that's largely what I got out of it. It was a fun movie that didn't take itself too seriously.
