Abandoning feelings, can the story continue--A viewing report from non-Warcraft players

As an uncle-level person, it is possible that he has never played Warcraft, but it seems impossible that he has never heard of it or seen others play it.

I don't know exactly when Warcraft took over the computers of college students. Anyway, there were dormitories at that time, and basically everyone with computers was playing, and a small group of people were playing Legends. Dota was just played when I was about to graduate, what the hell is LOL? Sorry, never heard of it at the time. So, although I haven't played Warcraft, I know that this game has accompanied many, many people's college days. PS By the way, everyone was chasing jailbreak at that time.

The first time I watched The Lord of the Rings, it was a pirated disc, and the picture quality was very poor, but I was still very excited to watch it. Later, when the high-definition version was added, it didn't have the shock that it brought for the first time. At that time, I actually didn't understand the plot, I only knew good people, bad people, fighting and killing, but in the film, the magnificent and magical Middle-earth world, handsome uncle, spirit-filled elves, dwarves, orcs, etc. The earth imprint is in my mind, and whether I watch movies, TV dramas or novels in the future, when I see new worlds created by other authors, I will always think of that magical Middle-earth. Later, I gradually understood, and I also understood how classic the Middle-earth world created by Tolkien is. And then a long, long time passed until Game of Thrones came along.

Before going to the movies, I read an article saying that the rating of Warcraft in foreign countries is very low, which is the opposite of that in China. Then there is the domestic box office of over 500 million. But this doesn't affect me. As a non-Warcraft player, I don't know the alliance or the tribe. I just go to see this new Middle-earth world.

The opening music is very hot, I like it. The New World scene is well drawn, I like it. I reckon that on the day of the premiere, when Stormwind came out, the audience should be cheering. But I didn't see Wu Yanzu, I didn't see the handsome prince, I didn't like it. The little mage is also not handsome, and has a bit of a traitorous feeling, which made me think he is a bad guy from the beginning. Then talk about the plot, the main line is roughly in the past, as someone who has never played the game, the main line of the plot can be understood. Then the plot moved forward along the main line, but there was too much urine during the progress, and a child next to it also felt it. In addition, there is basically no description of the details of this World of Warcraft, no description of the daily life of ordinary people, no description of the characters of other generals and soldiers, and the buildings are written in a static state, with a single stroke. Therefore, in the whole film, except for a few characters that are not very distinct, the others are all set up. After watching it, I felt empty, because this film did not present World of Warcraft to everyone. Like The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, after reading it, I will have a basic understanding of the world presented in it, and I can also think of it in my mind, sketching its magnificent epic Middle-earth world, but after watching World of Warcraft, I don't feel it. In this world, it is estimated that I will forget the scenes in World of Warcraft in a few days.

Overall, it was a failure, not presenting World of Warcraft to the audience, only showing a few less distinct characters. Maybe these have little effect on players, but this is the first one. I think there must be a sequel next. Does the continuation of the sequel still depend on feelings?

Vignette. When I entered the theater, the staff gave me a promotional leaflet of the arrow warrior Liu Bai Yuan, and I expressed my confusion. I went in without asking, and found a big sister sitting in my seat with her baby sitting next to her, uh, I went outside and counted the rows of seats, it was indeed my seat. I said I was very confused, forget it, there were not many people watching today, so I sat next to it, anyway, until the end, there was no one in this row. Then the baby's pee point is also very accurate. When the film's bird point is reached, he has to drag his mother away, saying it's not good-looking, it's boring. His mother just coaxed him, and he started fighting after a while. Later, I found out that the function of the propaganda page is to use it as a fan, because this theater does not turn on the air conditioner in the summer!

After watching the movie, I found that it was pouring rain outside, and I suddenly washed away the little World of Warcraft in my mind.
