While Orgrim and Durotan were friends, Orgrim was NEVER a Frostwolf, he was part of the Blackrock clan and served as Blackhand's right hand man and second in command of the Horde during the the First War, in the movie Lothar kills Blackhand-in the original lore Orgrim betrays and kills Blackhand and takes command of the Horde himself, becoming the new Warchief towards the end of the war. This one is probably my biggest gripe.Duncan Jones and Blizzard have completely butchered the lore. From what I understand 40 minutes of footage were cut from the film so that may explain some of it but what we do see still feels choppy and not quite polished up. The editing.God what was up with that editing? the overall pacing it felt very rushed and awkward, the characters would be in one place then suddenly be halfway across the continent in the next the next shot, there wasn't any building up to it. The acting of the human actors felt wooden and awkward, it was definitely sub-par to mediocre at best. For someone who claims to be a fan of the franchise I'm surprised Duncan Jones choose the colorful kid-friendly look and not the dark/brutal look for the film's makes me think how the film would have turned out if Sam Raimi had stayed on the project as director. The Warcraft movie doesn't capture this feel. Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones are good examples of how you can make a medieval/fantasy universe dark, eerie, foreboding, and appealing with little CGI. I have nothing against CGI if it's done right, films like 300 and Avatar prove that you can make a mostly CGI film work.unfortunately the CGI in Warcraft just doesn't seem to capture that same magic as those other two films did, it looks too cartoony, videogamy, polished, too colorful, the movie almost feels like a big giant WoW cutscene which doesn't do the universe justice because those of us who remember the older games know that the world of Azeroth was a rather dark and brutal place, Blackhand murders his own daughter after she runs off with Ogres for crying out loud. The first thing that bothers me that it's mostly CGI film sprinkled with live action. First, just me say that as an old school Warcraft fan (pre-WoW) I was disappointed in this movie in many ways.
