The Warcraft movie, based on the RTS of the same name and drawing heavily from retcons introduced in World of Warcraft, came out recently and I got to see it for the first time today. My family's going to see it in IMAX later this week and I'm super-pumped for the second viewing. I thought it was a pretty good movie, taking the lore, blending it, and remixing it in such a way as to be better presented on the big screen, rather than a game.

I won't deny there were some pretty narmy bits in it, like Garona crowd-surfing over a battlefield or the orcs chanting "Zug! Zug! Zug! Zug!" as their victory cry (In the games, zug-zug means "yes-yes" or "okay", like "okay, I'll do it"), but overall it was an excellent movie and I was squeeing the whole way through watching it earlier. So I'm hyped to see it again. :D

...And while I'm speaking of WoW, the next expansion, Legion, comes out in a little less than two months now. I'm not looking forward to having to learn the new raids and coaching the rest of the raid team on the fights, but everything else? Yespleasegivemoredowant.
