that sword is the first thing i have seen and thought "that looks like its from azeroth."

i wish i was hyped for this movie, but i am not.

I'm respectfully shocked by all the dismissals of this movie. I wish I could appreciate why people don't immediately love the trailers and just general property of Warcraft cinema but I don't think I will. I loved the trailers, and have watched the trailers in HD televisions, in the theater and consistently find them incredible. Could there be a chance that opinions are more biased than actually originated in the film's merits? As a former blizzard gamer and ethusiast, I always dreamed of the day they would make a direct translation of the cut scenes and opening/closing scenes of all the Blizzard properties, especially Starcraft. If people enjoy video game cutscenes at the very least, then I feel this should be treated as a longer form of that. I feel it's everything it markets itself to be and does not fall short. The movie is meant to look "fantastic" and use a color and graphics pallet that looks unreal or fluorescent. The textures are supposed to illustrate an almost video game like experience. I would suggest looking at it as if you were watching Twitch and then suddenly realize that the game has live actors portraying the gameplay. Hopefully my opinion widens the humility of even the most obstinate CBM'er.
