Don't listen to him. You will miss out on a cool villian if you skip that one.

I agree. A bunch of cool moments here and there but it's not very well tied together.

Well, it's possible he went the Michael Bay route, and I can only hope for him this doesn't affect is career in the future.
I loved the Warcraft movie for what it was. Why do you think it was a bad movie besides what the stupid critiques said about it?

Actually, the vibe and style of comedy was the most disappointing part - it was very modern and fitting with the styles of the comedians, but it was more a surreal satire while the originals were grounded in realism (with extraordinary things happening around them, of course) and the characters just happened to have great comedic timing. THAT is what made the original such a classic.
If you want a continue story, you have to look to one of the GhostBusters video games that came out. They did a really good job continuing the story. I'm so glad they didn't tarnish it by doing that on the big screen. I like the update, modern style and everything else about it. The classic is still the classic and doesn't need to have it be told the same way with being grounded in realism.

If you want blurry action just go watch a Bourne movie.

I did last night and it was typical Bourne fare. If you liked any of the Bourne movies, you'll love this latest entry.

I like that Bourne movies are known for car chase scenes and the blurry action BS. I ended up going to it late and had to sit like in the second row from the front so it was a bit rough.

I never said I saw ther movie. I just have a serious desire for a video game movie that the critics love to come out. Some of them have a belief video game movies that are good are impossible to make. And when a good one comes, I want to watch those critics suck it like a pacifier.

But even from the trailer, I could tell Jones didn't try as hard as he did with Source Code.

I don't believe that at all. Jones is an avid Warcraft fan. He wouldn't and DIDN'T half ass it whether you thought so just from a trailer or not. Watch the movie then come back to me with your own opinion and not one from a critic about how he didn't try.

To be fair, you can try really really really really hard and still making a heaping turd of a film.

This isn't facetious, give me a solid example.

Maybe his fanhood is what got in the way. One of the leading criticisms is that it didn't explain things that non-fans wouldn't get if they never played the game, meaning the movie was pretty much "for the fans." A mistake on Jones' part. I know jack-crap about Warcraft edcept there's a character named Rexxar. So it's possible I'd be confused by the movie.

Basically why I haven't seen it yet, myself. It looks cartoony and not worth my time. I'll wait until I can find it for free online somewhere.
