I'm not a warcraft fan, but I greatly enjoyed this move, the Mak'Gora especially. It shows that the orcs are Warriors not killers. He killed his challenger, fairly. Lothar earned the right to leave with the king's body.
Ignoring the fact that they slaughtered all indigenous species of their own planet and tried to do the same in Azeroth, yeah, killers all the way through, a convenient sence of "honor" changes nothing.
My first time seeing Travis act was in this movie and his presence was so memorable. Then watching Vikings confirmed it. He needs to be in more shows and movies.
He doesn't want to work in future films He just wanted to make enough money to buy a dairy farm and gtfo 😂😅 He never liked being famous and vikings was his first role
@@andrew-rn9ui why u lying tho it was his 8th role in tv series alone and he had future roles in other shows and movies that alrdy are out and more to come
Its a shame that they never continued the story with another movie. Things were starting to get awesome. The rise of Orgrim as Warchief, Thrall being raised as a gladiator, maybe the invasion of Stormwind in the first minutes and then Lordaeron. There is so much that they could show.
The universe is so expansive they very well could make a series out of it. I would totally watch that. I've played the games a bit, but I've read most of the lore behind them. Its real good stuff.
It never landed well with the fans because they didn't follow the story as it really is. They made up all kinds of stuff. I'm not a hardcore story fan myself, I just played WoW because I loved the game. That being said I didn't think the movie was that great either way and some of my friends that do know the storyline really wern't impressed by this move. I think if they made a contract with Netflix or Amazon and made an series in the digital style as their latest game trailers telling the real story of WoW to the exact detail they would be able to really gain a huge audience... Too bad people in charge nowadays only think about how they can reach as many customers as possible even if that requires screwing up the story and its complexity.
@@Lappmogel @Lappmogel Ooh I'm not disputing that but maybe I wasn't really clear about what I ment. I believe from a personal opinion that if they would stick very closely to the base storyline that every gamer knows and make more of a Lord of the rings type of movie it would do much better. I believe it was too much CGI but not in a good way and the story was off. Or the other route could be everything full CGI like their trailers and stick to that style. In the end it is all personal preference and the box office has spoken because I just read that they announced late last year that they are working on a sequel.
Lothar: *Brutally kills an orc warchief who's not only bigger and stronger but who's been enhanced by fel magic, and does so in mere seconds.* Orcs: ....I ain't even mad. That's impressive!
Lothar was wearing grand warden gear, obviously a mismatch. Lothar should easily have 6.4k hp with sword spec double swing, which then can proc off of each other during that time. Too op!
It shows everything about the orcs. They are a proud warrior race above all. They're not just strong. They're intelligent and they have a code. Raw power and size aside, that doesn't make them any different.
Ogre: Throws sword to Lothar Lothar: It gladdens me to know that Odin prepares for a feast. Soon I shall be drinking ale from curved horns.. Wait wait wait wrong movie.
Well he actually killed their Warchief in 2 strikes and both strikes delivered a clean blow. They respect Lothars might for doing that to the best Warrior in the Orcish race
really what makes warcraft so great, you mean besides the fact that they screwed the lore out the ass, lothar did not and never will kill blackhand orgrim doomhammer did.
@@glatykoffi6672 maybe if they changed a few things like with the Lotr movies or any film adaptation of a story. But they straight up changed the story completely and is a different canon. The story of Warcraft is still on going and having 2 completely different stories of the same brand with the same characters running parallel to each other is very confusing and straight up misleading to new fans of Warcraft lore.
@@TimJBucci Well, Warcraft exists because Blizzard didnt get the license to make a Warhammer RTS, so why not? XD Yes, that would have been good. I mean, have you seen the unused scenes? They had a Grom scene and didnt use it.
Something that is also in real life. In boxing, karate or any kind of martial arts. The victor is greeted with honor and respect. But honor and respect is given to those that show compassion, mercy, and forgiveness.
Not much, really. You can see at 3:10 that some orcs just look away, like "kill who, Guldan? You must be seeing things again..." Imagine you score first row seats to the fight between Blackhand and humie general. Paid good orc-money, brought your orc-girl, and everything ends in 3 seconds... But, the rules are rules...
@@ConradKurze I think they’re actually looking at Guldan like “no, he won, we’re not gonna kill him” Rather than be disappointed Blackhand lost. Black hand was becoming a monster like Guldan, so I’m sure they were more than likely glad their leader went down in battle, after handing a weapon to his enemy, since rather literally his hand is a godamm weapon. You know, in an honorable way
Not only they respect strong warriors, they also are quite happy to see that demonic blood doesn't stay a chance against skill and motivation that Lothar showed in this moment.
0:30 The gryphon flinging away that hulking fuck off orc like he weighs nothing is absolutely terrifying. God, no wonder Wildhammer dwarves love those things in the lore!
@@Ocyla Exactly! And fun lore fact? Gryphons are very intelligent, I forget if they're self-aware like hippogryphs and Wyverns, but it must be close. So I wager they learn quick.
Blackhand could have easily killed Lothar while he was unconscious but he was honourable and gave Lothar the honour of single combat. I like to think that while the Fel was twisting his mind he was seeking a clean death or to honour a fellow warrior with one. Then Lothar cut off his balls
It was always pure joy to see a bunch of high levels being shreddered by the gryphon master. As a low level you knew to leg it fast to the gryphon master.
You knew you owned the other side's town when you could kill and camp the Gryphon Master. People would land see us hordies and there would be no Gryphon Master to get back out of dodge.
I don`t understand why so many bad critics, I think the movie is awesome, I`ve never heard people to be so furious against the Marvel movies, which most of them are shitty.
me2 man i just hope we will see like 20 more movies like this fuck the critics and whats wrong with ppl prefer to see a classic police or detective movie at the cinema instead of smthing amazing like this
To be honest if I wasn't a fan of warcraft universe, I would saw this movie as nothing more than average. I think there was a lot of blunders that went into why this movie didn't succeed, one was the lack of promotion, I had to constantly look up its release date to remind myself when it came out. They released it in china before they did in america, this allowed critics to bash it before people had a chance to see it. Despite Warcraft success in the gaming industry, it's obvious it's not very popular outside of china or it would had done way better domestically than it did regardless of critics. I doubt a sequel would come, if Blizzard return to the movie market, it be smarter for them to try overwatch instead. Not Warcraft.
I like how there's that one Empathetic orc who was clearly watching with a, "This will be interesting" stance, that watched the groin split and he's just like, "Oh shit," and you see his hands almost drop to his groin like he thought about it and then he looks around and realizes everyone else is just staring in awe so he drops his hands. lol
@@IIISentorIII not entirely. The Orcs respect power above all else and the thing was plowing through them like a bowling ball through pins. One can only imagine the chubby some of the Orcs were sporting after that.
@@TheGreatThicc Then why did the gyphon stop fighting, it just stood there as they took its master and possibly killed him? It wasn't even injured. It is bad writing my dude. This movie was just... weird, but entertaining.
@@acemoz I'm not all that well versed with mythical creatures, but I'm guessing the Gryphon was smart. They lost the momentum and surprise that let them launch the attack. I'm thinking it put 2 and 2 together and figured that if it tried to fight again, without that momentum and surprise while already surrounded and probably being held down by a dozen Orcs, it'd get butchered and so would it's rider. Another thing to consider is that in the early forest fight scene the Dire Wolf didn't try to fight when it saw Lothar holding a sword to its rider's neck, so who's to say a Gryphon wouldn't act the same way?
I guess this scene would conclude a bit different if it were done today: Summons Bird Mount. "You are in the wrong zone." Fumbles through dropdown list of mounts collected. Selects a dragon riding mount. Launches himself into the air and flies about 100 yards. Not enough vigor. Has to sit and wait for vigor to regen. Leaps into the air and flies off to epic cinematic music.

if that were the case, he wouldn't have used a shield on the lightning wall. he's trying to dual class, someone let blizzard know. he's trying to exploit the game.
Blizzard needs to get rid of warriors Titan grip, so that arms feels unique, warrior can be dual swords or axes medium size, and then tank with a medium sword as well. Rogues third class could be a long sword like a rapier. Swift melee range duelist rogue.
Thrall restored the Horde honor after this movie. What he did for the Horde cannot be measured. Long time Alliance player and I respected Thrall for what he did. He returned them back to this what you see here.
it is such a shame this was a great film and a sequel I really wanted to have. It did all the right things. Had a great plot for why bad guys needed to take over the world of the good guys. The twists and turns with character development. The plot had everything going for it. I loved it. For the things it did wrong, those were minor quibbles but story wise this was a solid film and did not deserve the harsh ratings and the flop that it was at the box office. There are many other movies that are literally just rehashes of stories told a million times over and they go on to make $500+ mil. This one deserved more earnings and a sequel.
@@johnrayordas Arcane aesthetic would prob suit it better. Warcraft should be a more adult oriented and serious show. Castlevania was not bad. Enjoyable but Arcane was amazing.
“Makora is sacred, and the human won, fairly.” That was a savage thing to say to Gul’dan, and live to say the next sentence. “Let these Orcs honor their tradition” (something like that)
I still think that Arthas's story really woulda been the best one to bring to normies. Edit: Wow guys, think this is my most liked/commented on post ty for the support
I would watch the shit out of a two or three parter for Arthas. His disillusionment, his corruption, his becoming the Lich King. Come back for a final crescendo at the battle atop Icecrown Citadel, where Tirion clashes against him with the aid of heroes, the Silver Hand, and the Ebon Blade. I just gave myself a movie boner that will never go away. God damn it.
Arthas is mostly just Anakin but slightly better written. I'd love to see his story brought to the big screen as well, but I'm not sure it would have worked out better for them.
Well. When you think about it no one on Azeroth is really to blame for any of the wars. Everything can be blamed on either the Burning Legion or the Old Gods somehow when you really look at it from an unbiased perspective
RapsodiaVerde those warriors have honor but to be honest, I find the orcs way to big and to strong in the movie. They aren't as unstoppable in the books
Thats what an horde would say. You go into another world and first thing you do is wage war... And that was long after they drunk the blood so thats not an excuse.
In the books, normal orc warriors are more or less like humans. By the way... Anduin Lothar's death was a major retcon too, in WC2 he died because he wanted to negotiate for peace and got ambushed. Female orcs are closer to warcraft orcs than those big orcs.
@@AdorianDelmore blizz doesn't have the same money or talent. They tried and this is what we got, riot tried and they made arcane, riot won and I doubt blizz will ever try again.
it was very stupid decision by blizz to go live action. Like, they thought people would love that crap so they decided to fully invest in live action and in fking travis fimmel? too arrogant, they got what they deserve
And I’m pretty sure that was the plan too 😭 god I hope studios take this risk again and give it a 3 movie deal regardless if the first worked or not, its just not a story you can tell in one movie. I swear if this was just given that second film Duncan Jones described, this whole movie would’ve been looked at in an entirely different way
As a fan of the game, I really liked it, even though it's not accurate in lore, the only problem that I have, and it is minor, is that the events happens to fast, it would be good if it had a hour longer for caracter development
No matter how old this movie gets Its a diamond never able to break! A work of art cant be erased 🖼️! A movie never to be forgotten 🕯️❤ If you forget this movie than you must have a damn problem with your memory
In the novels, Lothar was supposed to be an old man and a war veteran. Him, King Llane, and Medivh are roughly the same age as they were close friends back in their younger years. Lothar’s death in the novels was one of the most heartbreaking ones for me as it felt like losing one of the most reliable mentor figures that the main characters looked up to.
To say that 2009 was the “height of wow” is simply not true as WoW was still VERY much beloved and praised all the way to Warlords of Draenor which DID disappoint a lot of people.
@@xalian17lol no I don’t AT ALL. I live in a world of REASON. Not the whiny pessimism that you’re badly saying as people loved Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria! Warlords of Draenor tho DID make alot of people upset!
@@Mystravian WoW in a nutshell. Some of Blizzard's best work in Warcraft is the background and world building aspects of it. But once they introduce any narrative, it starts to unravel.
@@LuckySmurf fair...its just weird they spent so much time making those giant models for orcs and then did nothing with it lol. Like hey are we gonnahave the humans get ragdolled by them? Not 90% of the time, are we gonna have the humans have a hard time killing them because of how big they are? No. Maybe have the humans be able to jump onto the orcs since the orcs can support that weight?! No. Hell. A horse kicked one like 20 feet, as if it was a normal person when theyre probably 2/3rds the horse's weight Its like they forgot orcs were big
@@Mystravian Well that's a little unfair. While the major storylines tend to stink, the side quest lines tend to fair better. Example: In BFA, the main storyline Horde - Alliance conflict is riddled with inconsistencies and plot holes but side story lines like the Order of Embers in Drustvar were well done. As for the orc size...I've seen other people criticize that decision but I don't think of it as too big of a deal. Besides, if they wanted to (and if we had a sequel) they could always shrink them down and explain it as a side effect of the fel. It's not a pretty explanation but it solves that minor issue.
@@LuckySmurf if youre gonna make big monsters in your movie have them act like big monsters. Heck, these guys dont even act like big people and the humans dont treat them like it either. Slish slash and every orc dies despite uaving ribs the size of.a human femur lol
The Heretic oh jeez just hold your horses, it’s just a funny comment, nobody’s being type casted here. His first big tv presence was as Ragnar Lothbrok, and lemme tell you a little summthin, if you haven’t seen the utter badassery that takes place in every scene he plays in as Ragnar, then you’re missing out. That look he gives people in every scene, or the little head movements he does is just perfect, gives you the chills just watching him. When he played Ragnar he was in the fucking ZONE.
They did not introduce anything properly, just dropped into the story so casuals had no chance to understand what is going on or who these people are. The CGI is horrible and they tried to stick to the MMO art style with giant armors and weapons when that looks horrendous in live action. They set it up to fail.
@@Zankaru agree... as far im concerned i know that a game called Warcraft exists but never played it so idk who is who , a proper intro would have been better.... for me the movie started and ended abruptly.... maybe warcraft fans might have loved it but i feel the story didnt appease to a lot of the masses out there
@Astranamos I really hoped they would redo burning crusade. lorewise it was a desaster. srsly why did we fight illidan? and kaelthas were one of the better leaders in wc3. he did everything in his power for his people! atworse I could see him as a anti-hero biggest fail in character development after garrosh! and kaelthas feelt just like garrosh they needed a raid boss. but can't expect much of the people who forgot the dreanei,eredar und sargeras lore and simply rewrote it.
@@n.c.kupfermann1023 oof.. kal'thas.. eh.. him and his people were removed from the alliance, their were already on shakey ground mind, because they turned to the naga to aid them.. when the idiot admiral wouldnt aid them secure the area they needed to secure..in short they were ment to fail.
Night Elves aren't in there yet. If you played the whole franchise, it would be more awesome regardless of the graphics. The story lines got some unexpected twists. I believe Ke'l Thuzad and Arthas wasn't mentioned here yet.
lssylvice Ced It could’ve taken a completely different direction you know like Marvel. Marvel in the end became a awesome franchise but yeah I get the Point because fans needed it to be like the game. Imagine in this design everyone in the game with character and storylines.
I said it in post earlier but basically everyone's acting but Lothar and Garonas and maybe King Laine was all wooden and without any real effort. The alliance races like the Elves and dwarves all felt like second rate store bought Cosplay. It drew me out of the movie more than the orcs being CGI which were well done.
It's hard to act against something you have to pretend is there. And animation as a whole can get away with being expressive. Not taking away from the human acting though, because they could've done a lot better.
I dunno...how would you act with a bunch of Orcs that could kill you fast are in hundreds. I'd be a little intimidated or scared. Lothar's good but honestly from his POV that would be scary.
Because it isn't totally a dick move for a 3x larger, fel-imbued beast to go up against a mere human who's not even close to it in strength and size...
Well, gryphons are flying units and grunts are melee, so it's invulnerable. The orc warlord managed to snag the gryphon cos he probably had a lightning orb Also grunts have heavy armor and gryphons have magic damage, so understandably grunts are getting pwned
I don't get why this movie was considered bad?? I love WC 3 so much to point where every bit of media about WC I can find is a godsend. When me and my brother watch this together in cinema we were skilling the entire time, tying to piece together anything we can between the game and this movie. I really thing they should have continued this movie, the best villain has yet to come
This movie was by far one of the best fantasy movies I had seen in a long time. I was not disappointed in anyone's acting and it was a good plot. How it wasn't more popular is beyond me!
It was sold as the adaptation of the videogame and as such, the movie disappointed, but sure, it was a pretty nice movie for your average moviegoer, a little too expensive and didn't bring as much money as needed to be followed by a sequel (if I remember well this movie performed so well in the chinese market it can of began the trend to appeal to chinese audiences)
I actually understand what happened here, finally, after all these years. He knew Lothar had no chance without a weapon, so he gave him one. But a sword? Of all things? He wanted an honourable death in Mak'gora. He didn't want to serve under Gul'Dan, but knew if he refused, his death would be shameful. That was purely for honour.
Black hand totally threw, he just sat there waiting to get stabbed after he got nutted, and it makes sense too after gul’dan forced him to become something he hated.
Wouldnt it be the opposite? wouldnt they fear what just killed their warboss considering just how more powerful the warbosses are over regular orks? They would clearly come back later and start a fight but wouldnt doubt there would be a morality issue for a hot minute.
In the Ciaphas Cain novels after the warboss died all of the larger orks started fighting over who would be the next warboss and Cain just slipped out in all the chaos.
Proud "warriors" that genocided most species in their own world, turned said world into a wasteland, then tried to do the same to Azeroth and it's inhabitants, starting a war without provocation, killing/enslaving non combatants in the process, yeah, proud warmongers more like.
@@theonebeing981 Yea, a warrior culture loving war and violence, who would've thought ? They respect martial prowess and honor anyone that shows great skill in battle, this is how it should work. there is honor there, just different from what you consider honorable.
I heard it cost more to make the cgi films. Those BFA short films we watch I “hear” cost millions to make. Dont quote me though lol. But I've been wanting them to just make a cgi TV series to damn bad.
@@obpty This movie looks like trash, one watch should've confirmed that for Blizzard. Their CGI is incredible, the Arthas cinematic looks amazing to this day. They should have stuck to what they are good at which is CGI.
Nah Chris Hemsworth is too funny for such a dark role. Jaime Lannister could be but is a bit old for the role. Nothing some makeup can’t do though. I hope we at least get Arthas’ story in a movie because the future of warcraft movies isn’t looking bright.

"Doomhammer nodded but did not say anything, and after a moment the man turned and walked quickly away,
ducking back between the rocks and carefully working his way down the cliff beyond the valley. For a moment
Doomhammer considered going after him. A single quick blow would finish such a man, and he already had the
map. But that would be dishonorable. One of the things he hated about his own people, about what they had
become, was their lack of honor. Before, on Draenor, they had been a noble race. But Gul‘dan‘s treachery had
changed all that, making them little more than bloodthirsty savages. Doomhammer was determined to restore his
race‘s pride and purity, and that meant following a strict code of behavior. The man had treated with him in good
faith, and Doomhammer would not betray that. He would follow the path the man had marked, and if it proved
quick and the human troops did not block them he would honor his half of the agreement."

They sometimes do actually, Eitrigg and Tirion Fordring were practically best friends. Broxigar is also venerated by the night elves.
Both races knew what honor is, despite the hatred they may have for each other.
in this universe, no one is as worthy of an opponent to the orcs as the humans are and vice versa
I'm not a warcraft fan, but I greatly enjoyed this move, the Mak'Gora especially. It shows that the orcs are Warriors not killers. He killed his challenger, fairly. Lothar earned the right to leave with the king's body.
Ignoring the fact that they slaughtered all indigenous species of their own planet and tried to do the same in Azeroth, yeah, killers all the way through, a convenient sence of "honor" changes nothing.

Its a shame that they never continued the story with another movie. Things were starting to get awesome. The rise of Orgrim as Warchief, Thrall being raised as a gladiator, maybe the invasion of Stormwind in the first minutes and then Lordaeron. There is so much that they could show.
The universe is so expansive they very well could make a series out of it. I would totally watch that. I've played the games a bit, but I've read most of the lore behind them. Its real good stuff.
It never landed well with the fans because they didn't follow the story as it really is. They made up all kinds of stuff. I'm not a hardcore story fan myself, I just played WoW because I loved the game. That being said I didn't think the movie was that great either way and some of my friends that do know the storyline really wern't impressed by this move.
I think if they made a contract with Netflix or Amazon and made an series in the digital style as their latest game trailers telling the real story of WoW to the exact detail they would be able to really gain a huge audience... Too bad people in charge nowadays only think about how they can reach as many customers as possible even if that requires screwing up the story and its complexity.
@@Que-F1-23 They've retconned and tweakted the story so many times all ready. Who cares if they do it again?
@@Lappmogel @Lappmogel Ooh I'm not disputing that but maybe I wasn't really clear about what I ment.
I believe from a personal opinion that if they would stick very closely to the base storyline that every gamer knows and make more of a Lord of the rings type of movie it would do much better.
I believe it was too much CGI but not in a good way and the story was off.
Or the other route could be everything full CGI like their trailers and stick to that style.
In the end it is all personal preference and the box office has spoken because I just read that they announced late last year that they are working on a sequel.
Lothar vs Doomhammer would certainly be something to look forward to. And how victory would backfire spectacularly in Doomhammer's face.

Blackhand could have easily killed Lothar while he was unconscious but he was honourable and gave Lothar the honour of single combat. I like to think that while the Fel was twisting his mind he was seeking a clean death or to honour a fellow warrior with one.
Then Lothar cut off his balls

That gryphon was like early WoW when you smacked the gryphon master.
I hate how you had to be like level 60 to get a mount that flies I don’t think I ever got one.
Flying mounts came with the first expansion BC, flying in Azeroth came with Cataclysm, the third.
It was always pure joy to see a bunch of high levels being shreddered by the gryphon master. As a low level you knew to leg it fast to the gryphon master.
Cata was 4th bro. WotLK was third
You knew you owned the other side's town when you could kill and camp the Gryphon Master. People would land see us hordies and there would be no Gryphon Master to get back out of dodge.
The orc's honouring another being as their champion is so satisfying.
I still come back to this ‘badass’ scene to this day.
This movie deserved so much more recognition, I still hope they'll make a sequel.
I don`t understand why so many bad critics, I think the movie is awesome, I`ve never heard people to be so furious against the Marvel movies, which most of them are shitty.
me2 man i just hope we will see like 20 more movies like this fuck the critics and whats wrong with ppl prefer to see a classic police or detective movie at the cinema instead of smthing amazing like this
explain
To be honest if I wasn't a fan of warcraft universe, I would saw this movie as nothing more than average. I think there was a lot of blunders that went into why this movie didn't succeed, one was the lack of promotion, I had to constantly look up its release date to remind myself when it came out. They released it in china before they did in america, this allowed critics to bash it before people had a chance to see it.
Despite Warcraft success in the gaming industry, it's obvious it's not very popular outside of china or it would had done way better domestically than it did regardless of critics. I doubt a sequel would come, if Blizzard return to the movie market, it be smarter for them to try overwatch instead. Not Warcraft.
A sequel is being made thanks to the chinese audience
I like how there's that one Empathetic orc who was clearly watching with a, "This will be interesting" stance, that watched the groin split and he's just like, "Oh shit," and you see his hands almost drop to his groin like he thought about it and then he looks around and realizes everyone else is just staring in awe so he drops his hands. lol
2:17 nice catch!
I like how the orcs didn't kill the gryphon, they respected the mighty beast even though it murdered their own.
just a shitty plot and very bad writing ;)
@@IIISentorIII not entirely. The Orcs respect power above all else and the thing was plowing through them like a bowling ball through pins.

@@TheGreatThicc XD got damn I didnt need that image
@@TheGreatThicc Then why did the gyphon stop fighting, it just stood there as they took its master and possibly killed him? It wasn't even injured. It is bad writing my dude. This movie was just... weird, but entertaining.
@@acemoz I'm not all that well versed with mythical creatures, but I'm guessing the Gryphon was smart. They lost the momentum and surprise that let them launch the attack.
I'm thinking it put 2 and 2 together and figured that if it tried to fight again, without that momentum and surprise while already surrounded and probably being held down by a dozen Orcs, it'd get butchered and so would it's rider.
Another thing to consider is that in the early forest fight scene the Dire Wolf didn't try to fight when it saw Lothar holding a sword to its rider's neck, so who's to say a Gryphon wouldn't act the same way?
I guess this scene would conclude a bit different if it were done today: Summons Bird Mount. "You are in the wrong zone." Fumbles through dropdown list of mounts collected. Selects a dragon riding mount. Launches himself into the air and flies about 100 yards. Not enough vigor. Has to sit and wait for vigor to regen. Leaps into the air and flies off to epic cinematic music.
I really love how honorable the orks are in this compared to other series’s
They are brutal but also cunnin.
It seems fel did not corrupt them as much as their game counterpants:
"Doomhammer nodded but did not say anything, and after a moment the man turned and walked quickly away,

Honorable? They are cowards that just love to kill. If they were honorable, they would have charged Gul'Dan when he failed to killed Durotan properly.
Orcs have a huge respect and honor into the fights[Which most of his culture is like that]
In Gothic 1 when you get Ulu-Mulu all Orcs respect you.
Leather armor, one handed weapon, 1 shot macro, finishing backstab. Yep, Lothar is definitely a rogue.
if that were the case, he wouldn't have used a shield on the lightning wall. he's trying to dual class, someone let blizzard know. he's trying to exploit the game.
hehe
@@demonpride1975 think like vanilla wow rogues were meant to use shields but it got removed
Blizzard needs to get rid of warriors Titan grip, so that arms feels unique, warrior can be dual swords or axes medium size, and then tank with a medium sword as well. Rogues third class could be a long sword like a rapier. Swift melee range duelist rogue.
Interesting, cause in dota a rogue's dagger that can turn any hero invisible was named after him - Lothar.

Thats what an horde would say. You go into another world and first thing you do is wage war... And that was long after they drunk the blood so thats not an excuse.
In the books, normal orc warriors are more or less like humans. By the way... Anduin Lothar's death was a major retcon too, in WC2 he died because he wanted to negotiate for peace and got ambushed. Female orcs are closer to warcraft orcs than those big orcs.

Lothar’s death in the novels was one of the most heartbreaking ones for me as it felt like losing one of the most reliable mentor figures that the main characters looked up to.

Anduin Lothar, there is a reason he earns the moniker "Lion of Azeroth"

As for the orc size...I've seen other people criticize that decision but I don't think of it as too big of a deal. Besides, if they wanted to (and if we had a sequel) they could always shrink them down and explain it as a side effect of the fel. It's not a pretty explanation but it solves that minor issue.

I’ve seen that distant look in a man. The enemy was dead before he took a step.
Ragnar will always be Ragnar
yiledute WHO WANTS TO BE KING??
Paula Patton, is one hot and sexy orc, amazing
So that is the guy who plays ragnar i knew it
KING RAGNAR THAT IS MY NAME
The Heretic oh jeez just hold your horses, it’s just a funny comment, nobody’s being type casted here. His first big tv presence was as Ragnar Lothbrok, and lemme tell you a little summthin, if you haven’t seen the utter badassery that takes place in every scene he plays in as Ragnar, then you’re missing out. That look he gives people in every scene, or the little head movements he does is just perfect, gives you the chills just watching him. When he played Ragnar he was in the fucking ZONE.
I cant believe everyone wanted a warcraft movie and they did it (and did it very well) and NOBODY Liked it
They did not introduce anything properly, just dropped into the story so casuals had no chance to understand what is going on or who these people are. The CGI is horrible and they tried to stick to the MMO art style with giant armors and weapons when that looks horrendous in live action.
They set it up to fail.
@@Zankaru agree... as far im concerned i know that a game called Warcraft exists but never played it so idk who is who , a proper intro would have been better.... for me the movie started and ended abruptly.... maybe warcraft fans might have loved it but i feel the story didnt appease to a lot of the masses out there
@Astranamos I really hoped they would redo burning crusade. lorewise it was a desaster. srsly why did we fight illidan? and kaelthas were one of the better leaders in wc3. he did everything in his power for his people! atworse I could see him as a anti-hero biggest fail in character development after garrosh! and kaelthas feelt just like garrosh they needed a raid boss. but can't expect much of the people who forgot the dreanei,eredar und sargeras lore and simply rewrote it.
@@n.c.kupfermann1023 oof.. kal'thas.. eh.. him and his people were removed from the alliance, their were already on shakey ground mind, because they turned to the naga to aid them.. when the idiot admiral wouldnt aid them secure the area they needed to secure..in short they were ment to fail.
@@Zankaru never played WOW still loved the movie... Wishin they make the sequel
as a fantasy movie LOVED THIS FILM, i dont know much about lore of this game but i realy liked this movie
Night Elves aren't in there yet. If you played the whole franchise, it would be more awesome regardless of the graphics. The story lines got some unexpected twists. I believe Ke'l Thuzad and Arthas wasn't mentioned here yet.
lssylvice Ced It could’ve taken a completely different direction you know like Marvel. Marvel in the end became a awesome franchise but yeah I get the Point because fans needed it to be like the game. Imagine in this design everyone in the game with character and storylines.
@@lssylvice Shhhh dont spoil them ;)
Well, it's an adaptation of the first game, basically when there were just humans and orcs.
Youre a fantasy movie?
How Garona's actions were redeemed is also mentionable.
Forever will miss that universe. Great childhood memories.
I still find it distracting how low energy all the live action characters are while all the CGI characters feel so alive.
I said it in post earlier but basically everyone's acting but Lothar and Garonas and maybe King Laine was all wooden and without any real effort. The alliance races like the Elves and dwarves all felt like second rate store bought Cosplay. It drew me out of the movie more than the orcs being CGI which were well done.
Ionsniper This movie would have worked better as all CGI.
It's hard to act against something you have to pretend is there. And animation as a whole can get away with being expressive. Not taking away from the human acting though, because they could've done a lot better.
CursedUsername Look at scenes where the live actors are acting against each other. Wooden.
I dunno...how would you act with a bunch of Orcs that could kill you fast are in hundreds. I'd be a little intimidated or scared. Lothar's good but honestly from his POV that would be scary.

Best comment tbh

I was wondering what class he was... now I know it's rogue.
He dropped a dagger, cant equip it.
"That, even in the Orks culture, is still considered a dick move."
Because it isn't totally a dick move for a 3x larger, fel-imbued beast to go up against a mere human who's not even close to it in strength and size...
@@spaceparrot8702 It still only count as one!
@@franciscomaia3299 Ain't that the truth, son of Gloin :D
Imagine being such a unit that you can pull down an entire Gryphon out of the air and rag-doll it with one hand
Is no one gonna talk about how the griffin so fing soloed all the orcs while lothar was doing his own thing, dude that thing is a bad ass beast :)
Well, gryphons are flying units and grunts are melee, so it's invulnerable.
The orc warlord managed to snag the gryphon cos he probably had a lightning orb
Also grunts have heavy armor and gryphons have magic damage, so understandably grunts are getting pwned
Your phrases an empty phrase...
"And THIS is the authentic 'why you do Not attack the flight master' experience." -Me in the movie theater.
Shanksprey raven, probably one of those royal gryphon against basic tier orc. He ain’t a ostrich so it’s expected ;)
The wingspan looks too small to get enough lift for the size of the body, let alone carrying two adults?
I was expecting him to say: Is There No One Else?
or ,,Are you not entertained?"
Achilles? Haha
Fuck ya
Why are you here?
@@projectover3223 hahahahaaha
3:18 when the baddest orc to ever walk stands on your way, you go the other way.
I don't get why this movie was considered bad?? I love WC 3 so much to point where every bit of media about WC I can find is a godsend. When me and my brother watch this together in cinema we were skilling the entire time, tying to piece together anything we can between the game and this movie. I really thing they should have continued this movie, the best villain has yet to come
Goosebumps comin in as he walks through the Crowd and they pay respect
This movie was by far one of the best fantasy movies I had seen in a long time. I was not disappointed in anyone's acting and it was a good plot. How it wasn't more popular is beyond me!
It was sold as the adaptation of the videogame and as such, the movie disappointed, but sure, it was a pretty nice movie for your average moviegoer, a little too expensive and didn't bring as much money as needed to be followed by a sequel (if I remember well this movie performed so well in the chinese market it can of began the trend to appeal to chinese audiences)
I actually understand what happened here, finally, after all these years. He knew Lothar had no chance without a weapon, so he gave him one. But a sword? Of all things? He wanted an honourable death in Mak'gora. He didn't want to serve under Gul'Dan, but knew if he refused, his death would be shameful. That was purely for honour.
Naah, I think it's just overthinking it
Also in the books that fight never happens. Its Orgrim the one who kills blackhand in a mak'gora.
Black hand totally threw, he just sat there waiting to get stabbed after he got nutted, and it makes sense too after gul’dan forced him to become something he hated.
Maybe Blackhand just wanted revenge for when Lothar mutilated his arm (also he killed his son, so this was a totally personal fight)
Still you don’t shoot someone in the dick butters
Love how Grom and Kargath step right into Ghul'Dan's face.
When is Blizzard going to make a TV series of Warcraft, movies don't go deep enough into the lore.
Yeah I can't wait to see the events of Warcraft 3 unfold on television. Some good damn lore right there with Arthas.
it costs too much money...
@@TheJunnior1 but it also makes alot of money
I can't bash "like" on this hard enough. If done properly with patience and quality, shit, we could have the next GoT success. In my opinion.
Tell Blizzard to call HBO. Games of Thrones is done and we need another fantasy series that will delve into the lore.
Meanwhile in the Warhammer universe "Oi boyz, dat 'umie just krumped da boss! ZOG HIM, LADZ"
Wouldnt it be the opposite? wouldnt they fear what just killed their warboss considering just how more powerful the warbosses are over regular orks? They would clearly come back later and start a fight but wouldnt doubt there would be a morality issue for a hot minute.
In the Ciaphas Cain novels after the warboss died all of the larger orks started fighting over who would be the next warboss and Cain just slipped out in all the chaos.
The Orks don't fear anything smaller than themselves
bikes
Shiren the Siren depends, sometimes yeah but other times they're so pumped on adrenaline they don't care and kill anything
Be he a viking or a fantasy warrior, that dude looks STONED. The eyes are so glassy. He's always on something and I want some!
he was drunk all night because his son killed by the Black hand
And that's why I can't take him seriously.
Seeing Grom Hellscream makes me smile, such found memories.
Love how the Orcs aren't one-dimensional. They are actually a race of proud warriors. Like Spartans on green steroids.
Proud "warriors" that genocided most species in their own world, turned said world into a wasteland, then tried to do the same to Azeroth and it's inhabitants, starting a war without provocation, killing/enslaving non combatants in the process, yeah, proud warmongers more like.
@@theonebeing981 Well after Guldan came. That honorable attitude and tradition of theirs started to lose.
@@theonebeing981 Yea, a warrior culture loving war and violence, who would've thought ? They respect martial prowess and honor anyone that shows great skill in battle, this is how it should work. there is honor there, just different from what you consider honorable.
I will never understand why they didn't make the whole movie CGI.
Enigma X studies show photorealistic cgi movies dont tend to sell that much. Uncanny valley and what not. Too risky of a bet.
I heard it cost more to make the cgi films. Those BFA short films we watch I “hear” cost millions to make.
Dont quote me though lol. But I've been wanting them to just make a cgi TV series to damn bad.
@@obpty This movie looks like trash, one watch should've confirmed that for Blizzard. Their CGI is incredible, the Arthas cinematic looks amazing to this day. They should have stuck to what they are good at which is CGI.
@@barneyrubble4293 just search, they need years to make a 5 minute cgi clip..otherwise they would already done a movie
@@JB-yh6zu "I heard it cost more to make the cgi films. Those BFA short films we watch I “hear” cost millions to make." -J Stutterz
Damn
Ragnar Lodbrok is damn strong even in WoW
Loved this movie, wish they would make a sequel.
I was just thinking, Chris Hemsworth would make a fantastic Arthas Menethil for a movie based on WarCraft III.
that guy who plays Jaime Lannister in game of thrones though.
Jaime Lannister is too old to play Arthas. Arthas was 24.
Don't forget Jaime looks like he loses 20 years between Season 1 and Season 5.
Nah Chris Hemsworth is too funny for such a dark role. Jaime Lannister could be but is a bit old for the role. Nothing some makeup can’t do though. I hope we at least get Arthas’ story in a movie because the future of warcraft movies isn’t looking bright.
Julian, 100% agree...chris Hemsworth has that kind of physicality but he is too funny. Robert pattinson could be but he has to buff up a lot.

Lost his son, friend, and brother in law really hope the sequel rumors are true.
They should have made the humans animated too. It takes too much suspension of disbelief to see a normal sized human fight an orc.
it's so uncanny, definitely should of made it animated
