Why is anyone surprised? Honestly 19% is much higher than I expected. This looks like it could be one of the worst movies ever made, watching the trailer.

The strung of cursed video game to movie translations continues.

I call it the Wing Commander/Super Mario Brothers effect.

I really want it to be good but from the trailers...it just looks way too cheesy. Not really surprised about the RT rating thus far.

Yep.

Next attempt is Assassin's Creed. At least the trailer for that wasn't completely bad.

They should have made this a few years ago when the game was at its peak if they wanted to cash in. I am waiting for the Clash of Clans movie.

I played more WoW than I should have since it came out, and my desire to see this movie could not be any lower.

I'll watch it when it comes out on torrents in less than 2 months lol.

It's too bad, Duncan Jones' first 2 movies (Moon and Source Code) were excellent. I was pretty skeptical when I saw that this was the next movie he was directing and nothing I've seen changes that skepticism.

Is this actually a pile of #### or are people basing their opinion on the critics? Has anyone here seen it yet?

It honestly seems like Warcraft fans like it/love it, and a lot of the critics simply don't get it. It has a metascore of 36/100, yet the IMDB user score is 8/10.

I am not a Warcraft person, but after watching that trailer, I am not spending money on that.

I can see why viewers would be confused. I played WoW back in the day and play hearthstone now so I understand who the characters are but if you haven't had any experience you would have no clue who Medivh is or why any of these characters matter.

How weird would it be if Angry Birds breaks the trend?

I'm honestly trying to think of a game that would work. Last of Us is the best I can come up with.

If this was the 1990s you could make a decent sci fi series out of Mass Effect.
