"I bought less tickets."
As a Warcraft player starting from "WAR3", after a day of hard work and bragging about eating skewers, I slept beautifully in the first half of the movie.
I have to say that due to the intervention of domestic capital this time, the promotion of "Warcraft" in China is quite in place, and even my third-tier town has an alliance movie theater. When I first entered the Alliance Hall, I was shocked. Every seat was covered with a blue seat cover with the logo of the Alliance Lion, which was unique in my brief movie viewing experience in the city.
As mentioned earlier, there was a report on the creation of the "Warcraft" movie script in 2008. In 2016, "Warcraft" was finally released. In fact, the "Warcraft" movie has Blizzard's LOGO at the beginning, and the word "finally" in front should be removed. Nowadays, a company has its own corporate culture. From the classic Blizzard trilogy to the current six-in-one on BN, Blizzard has only used it for 25 years. Blizzard, who is loyal to the bounced ticket, added Kerrigan, Arthas and a time jumper to their LOGO at the beginning of the film this time, which is easier to find than the previous easter eggs.
"Warcraft" is a fantasy action film jointly produced by Legendary Pictures and Blizzard Entertainment, directed by Duncan Jones and co-starring Travis Fimmel. Before "Warcraft", Duncan Jones was famous for writing and directing low-cost suspense films. He has directed two suspense feature films in total, which I personally think are excellent works.
It's just that this time, Duncan Jones, as a "World of Warcraft" player, doesn't seem to have given a satisfactory answer to the global Warcraft players. The production cost of this masterpiece is 160 million US dollars. The first half is a little dull and the rhythm is not strong. In addition, most of the funds are spent on special effects, and the overall quality of the actors is also uneven. Although the domestic box office has surpassed "Captain America 3", the level of this "Warcraft" is only slightly higher than that of "Captain America 1".
From the previous "Moon" and "Source Code", Duncan Jones is a master storyteller, this time in "Warcraft" can also see some clues.
As an ordinary audience, you may not hear the murlocs, see Hellscream, recognize Wu Yanzu, or understand Medivh's suffering. But it is not difficult to see that since Khadgar first met Medivh with Lothar, director Duncan Jones began to ambush, and after the raid on Karazhan, this little bend is not over. As the first film of "Warcraft", there are relatively more characters. From Gul'dan's evil energy to Medivh's transformation, it is understandable that no one is behind the scenes from beginning to end.
In the film, human beings are too friendly to the half-orc Garona, and Garona and Lothar's endless relationship seems abrupt. Director Duncan Jones lets the legendary assassin with long green legs and the untransformed Azer. The lions of Lass are frowning, and after watching the movie, you will find that these are all plot needs to increase the dramatic conflict. It's just that this adaptation is a little blunt. Garona and Lothar hold hands, and the showdown between Gul'dan and Durotan is embarrassing and cancerous.
Of course, the duel between Gul'dan and Durotan is also a foreshadowing.
Then there is the early formation of the alliance and the tribe, which may be to cooperate with the promotion of the film, let the orcs who have just stepped into Azeroth talk about the tribe, and let the humans who have just died of the king shout the alliance. Of course, this is not for ordinary audiences. No effect.
It seems that the first film of "Warcraft" has more than one shortcomings, but the special effects of the orcs, especially Durotan, are really vivid. In contrast, the draenei at the beginning and the high elves at the end are completely unwatchable. After the first orc war, Lothar, with his sideburns and beards, became more and more like a lion, and when the Stormwind music briefly played, I felt a little regret.
Tickets are sold out.
Finally, the plot of this movie is quite subtle. It seems to be the first orc war, which seems to be the beginning, but players have just driven the seven heroes of Draenor many times in "World of Warcraft" 6.0. Kargath, Black Hand, and Wu Yanzu, who spoke and did not speak, were beaten by us and could not find the North. Hellscream and Durotan were also beaten and betrayed. Just playing it over and over again, it will naturally feel a little intimacy. As for the upcoming 7.0 expansion "Legion", the plot is again the invasion of fel energy, the dead king, Khadgar, and Wu Yanzu. So far, it can be seen that from 6.0 to the release of "Warcraft" and then to 7.0, these things have been repeated over and over again. In this way, if there are people who don't have long eyes watching the movie and then play the old game of more than ten years, playing 6.0 now, and playing 7.0 for a month, in the words of the blood elf prince, I am afraid that they will fall into it and cannot extricate themselves. .
