Damn I wish this ended up in the movie. There's not enough scenes of just orcs having discussions in that film.
I liked Warcraft alot but I wish alot of the bland human scenes were cut to make room for a movie where the pov comes from the orcs perspective. Orcs were the most interested and better hollywood type of action in that movie then any of the human scenes.

Duncan Jones reportedly wrote the majority of the orc scenes into the movie when he first got hold of the script because there hardly were any at the time.
This could have easily been a decent film if Legendary didn't drop the ball and decide to play it safe by gutting the final cut. And Jones confirmed there would be no director's cut so there goes any hope of redeeming it.
I had a discussion with a friend, they should of released two movies.
One from an Orcs perspective and one from a Humans perspective. Maybe the movies are a little shorter but you could have better story telling. You feel for the humans because their homes are being raided and you feel for the orcs because they're trying to escape evil or something.
People make this film out to be much worse than it actually is.

Based off of what we got, a human perspective movie would have been absolutely dreadful.

The entire human plot is asinine and conveyed by some really bad actors (only highlight of the human cast was Khadgar who actually fit the character, everyone else was either miscast or cardboard) and is in overwhelming quantity throughout the movie compared to the Orcs.
It would have fared a lot better if the movie had gone for a full CGI approach because then the entire thing would have had the kind of charm and personality that the film has during the Orc scenes.

But that would have meant money and for Hollywood live action is cheaper than full blown CGI.

I think it was more of a matter of marketing/target demographics than anything else. It's easier to market a live action movie to more people because full CGI movies are still seen as "for children".
Despite a poor domestic gross (iirc) it scored massively worldwide (I'd be willing to wager thanks to the Chinese market, considering the popularity of WoW there) so I hope Blizzard gives it another shot but takes from the criticism and makes it full CGI on the next try. It deserves a lot better than what we got.
Frankly, I want a StarCraft film [B]far[/B] more than a WarCraft film.
I'm just imagining the Protoss glassing of Chau Sara in I-MAX.
