The curse of the largest ip

After watching the movie, I sighed. As a World of Warcraft player for ten years, speaking rationally, this movie really disappointed me a bit. Let's not talk about the broken storyline and unreasonable character creation, just talk about the welfare of the players. I don't think it's done well.

First of all, as a player, what I am most disappointed with is that the game's original soundtrack is useless. I am really unhappy about this. There are so many good music, Stormwind City, Ironforge, hotel, battle music, login music , if you just use a song, the enthusiasm of the audience will definitely get up, why not. . .

Apart from humans and orcs, there are almost no other races. The dwarves and the dark night glanced at each other, but there was no dialogue, no character, and no moves. I want to watch the light jumping of the dark night, I want to see the undead walking lewdly, and I want to see the cute dwarf. Dancing, I want to see the sexy body of the blood elf, no, the dark night gave a shot, and he is still a giant ugly and giant old man. . .

There are no other professions except warrior mage, paladin? Pastor that? Rogue Hunter Druid that? Adding blood is unreasonable in the movie, long-range archery is always reasonable, thieves can always attack from behind, and paladins can sing and bless the armor, and they don't. . .

Weapons are only swords and hammers, humans are all the same armor, orcs are all the same rags, I know the settings in the game have to be deleted in the movie, and that's a bit of a shadow. The stick looks familiar, but I can't see anything else.

You said that Stormwind is so complicated, with only a few shots, and it doesn't feel grand at all. You can't arrange for someone to come out of the woods and see the city gate to be shocked. Dalaran is also so complicated, and the result is also a The horizontal push vision has been brought in in one stroke, don't you think this model is built in vain? . . I think it's a pity

that the only thing in the whole show that makes me feel more familiar, and it's also the only point where the whole audience laughs in unison is that Khadgar put on a sheep transformation, this is what we want to see! What do you mean by just mentioning the names of people and places? The game we want to hear is a term every day. What we need to see is that I am doing actions every day in the game. This is the feeling of gamers. You just point to the sand table and call out Elwynn Forest, Deadwind Pass, Redridge Mountain, and expect us to cry. . .


Well, the game part is over, let's take a look at what it does not do enough as a movie.

First of all, a large number of useless characters that do not promote the plot are completely added to take care of the background and settings of the game. A large number of supporting roles have diluted the protagonist's role, resulting in no time for the protagonist's main line to show, and various changes are blunt and abrupt. This kind of emotional outburst is inexplicable. The lines of Lothar and his son can be cut off completely. The lines of Durotan's wife and children are useless and should be cut off. The lines of Lothar and the female orcs should be cut off. The intersection is also unnecessary, the dagger is directly lost by Lothar or the king.

Let's look at the protagonist again. Medivh was inexplicably swallowed up. Why did he invite him to open the door without explaining, and he just wanted to prevaricate if he didn't know what he did, so don't write it. . . The first time King Ryan saw the orcs, Wei Guangzheng chose to believe that it was a bit stupid. Lothar saw a female orc of a race he had never seen before, and his son would fall in love at first sight even after he died. Isn't it too far-fetched.

I think it's better to set the story directly when the Dark Portal has opened, start the crisis from the discovery of human beings, and then use Lothar and Khadgar as an introduction, one by one, the main cities to persuade to find rescue soldiers, the race, the main city, the occupation Bring them all out, don't do any conspiracy, what love, what is the separation of wives and children, what is the pain of witnessing the loss of a child, and finally the whole race and all occupations will fight in front of the dark gate for more than ten minutes. Yeah, either just shoot the Frozen Throne of Alsace first, which is both love and betrayal. The story is easy to shoot. After the filming, the prequel will be done. The story is the same as the story

. So much, I still have to thank Blizzard for finally fulfilling the dream of a Warcraft movie. It can be seen that this movie starts with an idea and ends with a finished product. How many forces are competing in it, worrying about gains and losses, fearing the tail, and neither dare to invest heavily in hiring a famous director to rely on a big producer The factory made drastic changes, but did not dare to serve game fans wholeheartedly and lost non-gamer moviegoers. Investors restrained each other in various ways. If you want this, I want this. Compared with the final compromise, the project related personnel have been exhausted. blood of it. . . Still want to say, thank you, hard work. . .

What I can do is to go to imax for a second time, contribute more to the box office, and pray that this film will be profitable, so I have the confidence to continue filming, and the next film, please, make it better. . .
