Warcraft Review :D

   So I just saw Warcraft! XD I talked about movies I wanted to see and now I saw it. And I’ll just say that I did like it! : )   It wasn’t perfect, but I really enjoyed it and just wanted to talk about it a bit.

So, the first thing I noticed that was really good, was the CG. Wow! The orcs looked sooooo good! Like sooooo good. You can tell they put a lot of the budget on that, and just the… the visuals in general. It was very colorful and bright and it really came to life for me. And I think that motion capture has gotten so good and it really helps to make the CG characters be more alive. The only one I wasn’t terribly impressed with, though was Draka, Durotan wife. She didn’t look as good to me, dunno why.

     I also really liked how (btdubs, “spoiler warning) (also, I’m not much a spoiler warning person. Like, I don’t care if I know about a movie before I see it. I knew Han died waaaay before I saw TFA XD) the humans and the orcs have different languages that ARE NOT ENGLISH. Like, they all speak, or seem to speak in English for the movie, but there’s a part where Garona translates for them and you can hear her speaking two different languages when the English part focuses on the other species. So I thought that was really cool, because I always wonder how all the aliens always already speak English and stuff when they go to other worlds (I’m looking at you Stargate XD ). But yeah, I really liked that nod to realism there.

     I liked the lore and the story and all the Warcraftness going on. I’m a big story builder. Like, I love knowing how things are created and how a character’s backstory goes and all that. In my own stories I create as much as possible in the background before I really even think of a story. But yeah, I just really liked how you can tell that this Warcraft movie was just one slice of a gigantic story, like Lord of the Rings and stuff. I also liked how… it was different. The movie was different, and it wasn’t afraid to end on a down note of sorts. Sort of like the Chronicles of Riddick XD I remember that movie ending on a not so happy note that makes you wonder “what is next????? Please tell me!”

     Things I didn’t like as much would include the really fast start. This movies starts out really fast. You really have to pay attention to everything and really immerse yourself in the world, or you can easily get lost. You also have to really listen to the orcs because with the voice distortion on the characters, it can be hard to tell what they are saying sometimes. I wish, that the beginning went a little slower though, like especially with the magic kid all the way up to when they take Garona hostage and stuff. All that goes by really fast and sorta seems like something is missing. And that kid that plays the magic dude… I had a hard time figuring out if he was good or secretly bad. I dunno if that was the director or the actor or what, but he was weird to me.  But he got better, he did. But his character was still off a bit. I think they rushed his character, actually. He’s the main one I feel like I didn’t understand enough.

     What else? Oh! I thought it was pretty funny, too :) it wasn’t all fun and games, but there were funny bits tha weren’t out of place.

     Oh, there were also sad parts (spoiler warning again). That orc, Durotan, or whatever, he dies, but I feel like… they didn’t linger enough on his death… or they lingered on it wrong. Like… I didn’t feel as much as I thought I would. And, in general there was A LOT of death. Like a lot. More than I thought there would be, really. They really put the “war” in “warcraft” 0_o  But also, I like that they weren’t afraid to kill off characters. Cause I feel like a lot of times in movies, all the characters live and you’re like “how did that happen? How are they all still alive?” Well, that doesn’t happen in this movie XD

     All in all, I liked it—Oh! I’d like to see more good magic next time too—cause I’m looking forward to another movie and I think the international audience will make it happen XD

     So yeah! Those are the thoughts that I can remember, wait! Moses! There is a part that is totally Moses! XD and the people in front of us said it too XD But yeah, I think now thats it... i think XD

It's actually a movie I feel I need to see at least another time to fully get the grasp of though. There is a lot going on and I want to be an expert! XD 

     Anyway, till next time, God Bless and Toodles! ^_^
