I liked the movie personally. The human side was bad, which by the sounds of it, wasn't his fault because it was so drastic from the fantastic Orcs.
It's not saying much, but this is still one of the better video game movies out there.
I just wish it dealt with the more interesting parts of the lore. Orcs Vs. Humans is boring and done to death.
Imagine if they gave Sargeras some screen time before jumping straight into Draenor. It could've been a quick montage of him corrupting the Eredar and building the Legion before making his plans with Gul'dan.

Hollywood needs to shoehorn the human element in everything unfortunately, the same reason we will never get a good western Godzilla movie.
The movie intro had me hooked with the Dark Portal sequence but became instantly terrible the second they had live action humans in it.

Classic Godzilla is totally all about the human element though, as much if not moreso than the giant monsters.

I kiiiiiinda believe that was director error. He thought teasing Godzilla a billion times was building tension for the big battle at the end but all it did was annoy consumers. I still liked the film, visually it was really good. I have hopes for Godzilla 2 correctly the issues of the first and Godzilla vs King Kong to kickass.

that or just go to arthas going from shining knight to insane, they already pretty much gave up on casual people with the endless name drop at the beginning
My warcraft movie would revolve around the seige of stormwind and khadgar trying to stop the orcs but failing
he finds out his old master is behind it and goes to stop him with friends in the climax
they kill him and see the demonic element behind it and how he was possessed by a daemon (hinting but not namedropping sargeras yet)
the king dies and the final shot is fleeing towards southshore
i literally made a better movie than what they all came up with in 1 minute
Sacking of Stormwind would be better as an opening to the sequel, if they ever make one.
I'd love a Warcraft movie telling the Arthas arc of WC3.
I mean, as far as video game movies go, I don't think it was THAT bad. The CGI was certainly impressive I think. Though its bad that I can't remember if I saw it in 3D or not. I just remember the CGI looked pretty damn good. Oh, and the other bit I remember is that my friend and I were the ONLY ones in the theater watching the damn movie.
That and the Orc bits were pretty good but I absolutely agree that the human side of things was fucking terrible, or at the very least, a far cry from the quality of the scenes that came before.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind another Warcraft movie. Though they would be wise to try and make the plot a bit more interesting. This is muther fucking Warcraft we're talking about, you have NO shortage of stories to work with. I mean fuck, make a movie about Arthas and I will give you all my money. Also wouldn't mind something to do with the Burning Crusade. Though this assumes they even bother to make another movie.

But why just the end of The last guardian? Why not make the movie based on the entire book , it was a really good story from start to end.

I'd probably be a pretty easy 7-8/10.
The Arthas story is cliched as hell, but that doesn't really matter if the characters can be portrayed well.
Although I'd really prefer it if they explored something that wasn't really shown much in the video games. Something like showing us the story of how Draenor got super fucked up, which would show us a lot of the orcs, ogres, and draenei which would be fucking LIT. They talked about some of it in the games but didn't really show it well, and some of it was retconned by the new books that were trying to fix the warcraft universe.
They can tell whatever story they want and it would be fine without the garbage shitty live action bits.
