Italian TV spot. A bit of new footage, but has the same music as trailer 2.

I like the guy with the bayonet on the end of his gun.

Youtube compression at its finest.

Why th cgi looks so awful?

 

[esel]

It almost feels like Universal's marketing department is sabotaging this movie.

Bland posters, nonsense taglines (unite? for what? against whom? this supposed to be the W1 story not W3, right?), and a trailer with randomly edited action shots and pumping electronic music (WTF?!).

Still planning to see this on premiere weekend, just because of Duncan Jones, but man, they're doing everything imaginable to scare people off.

This is Legendary's (and arguably Universal's, unless you count Secret Life of Pets) biggest film of the year. This is a film that needs good marketing because people are already skeptical from the get-go.

Why they didn't just put Jones and the rest of the creative team in-charge of marketing is a mystery.

[g23]

I don't get it. Why don't they just use the awesome soundtrack blizzard crafted for WoW?

 

[duckroll]

Nah. That title belongs to either Gods of Egypt or Tarzan.

Also, Source Code was pretty good. Not as good as Moon, but I think that's because Jones didn't write Source Code.

Well I think we can all be thankful that he's bringing his superb writing skills to Warcraft then. Some real inspiration dialogue in the trailers so far!

 

[SilentRacoon]

Lighting in this one shot looks particularly bad, everything looks out of place, almost as bad as that NYSM poster that got posted recently.

 

[Finaika]

This happened to KOFXIV too.

 

[Loxley]

Man, even rough fan-cuts of these trailers show just how much bad editing and music can ruin a trailer.

 

[Griss]

It looks terrible. People are blaming the marketing, but what are they supposed to do with this dialogue and in particular, that green skinned woman?

I'd be well up for seeing this - I started with the first Warcraft as a kid and played every last one of them - but every time I see the half-orc being real as opposed to the CGI orcs, and then have to contemplate a romance sub-plot between her and a human... I can't do it.

I just wanted to see noble humans genociding some filthy orcs... was that really too much to ask?

 

[matrix-cat]

"If we do not unite to fight this enemy our world will perish"

I feel 100% comfortable saying that any movie with a line like that is not one I need to see. Bonus points for following it up almost immediately with "We fight together or we die together".

 

[Cyan]

I just hope there's a meeting between the villain and hero where we get a "WE'RE NOT SO DIFFERENT YOU AND I"

tbf it's still Phantom Menace tier...

"Why do you fight me? We both want the same thing!"

More dialogue than in BvS

"Why did you say that name? Aegwynn? Why did you say that name? WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?"

The 3 point lighting on every character while the scene only has one light source kills me.
Especially the hairlight on the girl with the pink dress. Stormwind looks stunning though.

"Your parents probably taught you that you had a destiny. Do you know what mine taught me? STOP POKING ME!!!!"

 

[Wanderer5]

Holy shit that music. It just kills the later half of the trailer lol

 

[Horse Detective]

Something is always "perishing" in movies like this.

"Your world will perish!"
"Our world will perish!"
"My world is perishing!"
"PERISH!!!"

Also TIL electronic synths with a slow beat is dubstep.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

"Your parents probably taught you that you had a destiny. Do you know what mine taught me? STOP POKING ME!!!!"

And now the wife is up..

 

[RoKKeR]

I can't believe how terrible this movie looks. Actually, I can. Very believable.

Also the editing in that trailer was atrocious.

 

[Zackat]

Check this out.. fan made.. not finished yet.. but this is how they should have made the trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyMKC8JaYTk

I really hope they finish it. That was already so much better.

"Your parents probably taught you that you had a destiny. Do you know what mine taught me? STOP POKING ME!!!!"

Work complete.

This trailer gets me craving Doritos and Mountain Dew.

I think it looks OK so far. These CGI fests are usually a little jarring for me but I'm able to settle in and go with the visuals after ten to fifteen minutes. Plus it's Warcraft, I really do enjoy that universe. If the story is solid it should be OK.

 

[Zackat]

Just a precursory look around for a fan made trailer and I found this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKmKENYlKAM

A lot better imo. Kind of music you've heard before, but at least it fits.

 

[Trickster]

Check this out.. fan made.. not finished yet.. but this is how they should have made the trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyMKC8JaYTk

But why use silly music from the warcraft franchise when you could use techno/dubstep whatever instead?!

 

[Resident4t.]

Huh, action looks pretty good and I like the effects. Consider me interested.

It's not even finished but it blows the current trailer out of the water. It's so fucking easy damnit just use the Warcraft soundtrack from the video games!

 

[OdysseusVA]

Didn't know King Ragnar was in this!

 

[Zackat]

nvm

With the new expanded lore from Warcraft Chronicles Vol. 1, actually not. Blizzard expanded on the time million and billion of years ago, and we have a new big bad.

This all looks so goofy.

I just want one establishing shot over/through an Orc encampment and hear one, just fucking one, Orc say "Work work work".

Honestly with the harvest golems etc. I can see this as a possibility, would be amazing
