Later, I found out that Blizzard had already cut the COO for this movie and wanted to recycle the IP. The production of the entire movie was completed independently by Legendary Films. Because the filming was so bad, Blizzard has not participated in the announcement around the world at least until now. Activity. Since Blizzard's father is so ignorant of (firm) affection (holding) and lacking (quality) righteousness (quality), then I'm here to spit it out.
The first is the plot. As an original party, I personally think that the character creation is chaotic, and the plot is extremely inexplicable. I think many people have complained about it. The key is that everyone will say that movie adaptations cannot be loyal to the original book and the game. I think that's right. "The Lord of the Rings" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" are also adaptations. So I'm not going to talk about those details one by one, what I want to talk about are the huge changes that will affect the future development of the plot after the changes.
Alliance:
1. Medivh: This is an extremely important role that drives the historical process of World of Warcraft (the initiator of the Burning Legion's invasion of Azeroth again, without him, there will be no subsequent stories). He and his mother and his son are the guardians of Azeroth. They are called guardians, which should be a bug-like existence in itself. And the green huhu demon possessed by him is called Sargeras, the ultimate boss in World of Warcraft. This is an almost invincible presence among the characters who appeared at the time. At this point, you may think that you are right, the adaptation in the movie did not affect Medivh much. You were right, but it affected those around him.
2. Garona: Garona is the strongest assassin in the history of the game, and none of the heroes she has assassinated can circle the earth. She appeared on the Alliance side as an orc because she had absolutely no affection for the Horde, and many people in the Alliance were her friends. More prominently in the movie, the orcs hardly see her doing anything to the Horde except to laugh at her. but! Please pay attention to this but! In the original book, she was pregnant with Medivh's child, Medan, the next guardian of Azeroth! This kind of mainline plot can never be adapted! Changed how to shoot down!
3. Khadgar: In the original book, it was Medivh's apprentice, and it was arranged by the Kirin Tor. The ability is definitely there, after all, it is the direct disciple of the astral mage. But the movie is a little mage who didn't even enter the Kirin Tor, and has nothing to do with Medivh. With such a weak chicken setting, how could he single out Medivh who was possessed by the ultimate boss? If he is so strong and capable of killing all the orcs and the future Burning Legion in minutes, the story will have a happy ending. Also take a woollen ah
tribe:
1. Orcs: Note that this is the entire race and not a specific character. In the original book, the orcs are a tribe-based nomad who live on the planet of Draenor. They believe in shamanism, and are good at fighting. Later, he drank the blood of demons and became bloodthirsty and brutal. The orcs in the movie tend to be powerful and have no tactical literacy. They are like gangsters fighting on the street. They give the impression that they are simple-minded and well-developed. In addition to talking about a sense of honor when singled out, I can't see the proper racial characteristics at all. But the problem is that war is not about fighting in groups, and it is not about rushing forward in a swarm. With this style of play, you say that the orcs can hit Lordaeron, and almost make humans feel like feeding fish in the sea, and no one will believe it.
2. Orgrim: The official setting of Orgrim is the general of the Blackrock Tribe, the leader of the tribe, Blackhand (the puppet controlled by Gul'dan, why he controls Blackhand is because Gul'dan knows that he cannot control Orgrim. ) adjutant. The combat effectiveness is outstanding, that is, both generals and handsome talents, strategic vision max, tactical literacy max, force max, command ability max. It was he who led the tribe to gallop across the battlefield to kill the Quartet, and almost drove the humans into the sea to feed the bastards. And the reason why humans were not driven into the sea to feed the bastards was the fatal result of Gul'dan's defection with the Twilight's Hammer and the Stormreaver clan. In the movie, he became a strong man who had opinions on Gul'dan, but couldn't do anything, and didn't see any ability. If Gul'dan is the leader of the tribe according to the movie, how could he defect? He can just stop fighting and take all the tribes to find the Tomb of Sargeras. The relationship between superiors and subordinates is reversed, how will it develop in the future?
3. Gul'dan: This is the deadliest setting error in the entire movie. In the original book, Gul'dan was the apprentice of Ner'zhul (the first Lich King), a great conspirator, who betrayed his own race early and joined the Burning Legion, the most powerful warlock in history. He is good at deceiving people, and he is a max player. He is the best player in the whole tribe with all the tricks and tricks. He and Medivh teamed up to deceive everyone, causing the orcs to invade Azeroth, but how strong he is, I believe there should be a spectrum after reading the previous introductions. In the movie, he has become a big leader and a real power faction. The conspiracy is no longer playing. It is all conspiracy to control the entire tribe. If it continues to develop according to this setting, it will not be able to develop. Anyway, the orcs let him go, and Ner'zhul lives in our hearts? He directly became the Lich King? The tribe, under his wise leadership, drove the humans into the sea to feed the bastards? All the orcs died together in the Tomb of Sargeras?
Let's just complain about the plot, I really don't know how the screenwriter can bring these wonderful settings back. You can adapt, but not directly rewrite, right? By the way, all eight classes except druids and monks appeared during World War I. How many are shown in the movie? Warriors, thieves (assassins), mages and warlocks, hello, how many of them were eaten by the director and screenwriter? Show your face in battle scenes!
Speaking of scenes and special effects, director, what you are going to shoot is an epic battle of 10,000 people! War! Not a bunch of gangsters fighting in the street! Not Harry Potter! Moreover, in the last episode of Harry Potter, all the teachers cast defensive magic, the Stone Man appeared, and the students in the school regarded death as home, vowing to defend the school to the end, you didn't take the solemn atmosphere! If you can't shoot that kind of big scene, please take a look at Blizzard's own cg! ?
Blizzard Dad's CGs about war often have two situations. Small-scale wars are generally tragic, solemn, and desolate, and those who regard death as their home will fight more with less. A large-scale war is a grand formation, a neat charge, and the hero draws his sword horizontally to the local camp (Alsace, Tyrael and a series of characters have done this typical action with Blizzard symbols). Then Blizzard also likes to smash things down from a bird's-eye view, the hellfire in Warcraft, the meteor in the darkness, and the eggs of the Zerg in the interstellar. Give us a few more of these iconic scenes, OK Director.
Going back to Warcraft, the scene I expected should be like this.
Tribal side: the catapult throws a round first, the hunters shoot round after round, then the kodo knights beat the drums, the heroes charge the front on the wolf, the orc soldiers in the back roar and follow, the shaman's Lightning Storm Bloodlust, Warlock's Infernal Shadowflame.
Alliance: Lothar raised his sword and pointed at the Horde, the horn blew, then the hunter fired a round and retreated, the warriors lined up with their shields to resist the charge, the priest was behind various healings, the knight's holy light was dedicated, the mage blizzard and flame storm each kind of smash.
In fact, these are not what I thought, but made by Blizzard themselves, but why did it turn into a street fight in the movie? In a word, Legendary Pictures destroyed me Warcraft. Ten years ago, I told my uncle that if Warcraft was made into a movie one day, it would definitely surpass The Lord of the Rings, because his scenes were bigger and the plot more complicated. Ten years later, I was slapped in the face.
fyi: Regarding the CGs of the war scenes that Blizzard has recently shot, you can search for StarCraft 2+CG on Youku or Station B, which is guaranteed to be enjoyable.
