It seriously makes the in-game city look like a child's playset by comparison, which is kind of hilarious.
Stormwind has always been my favorite city/playerhub in WoW (though I have a soft spot for Darnassus), so to see it visualized on the big screen by ILM's wizardry is so damn cool. The fact that they actually kept the colored roofs to mark the different districts is icing on the cake.
It if it was that big in-game it be a pain in the ass to navigate without a fast mount.
Also I think the city's been destroyed, rebuilt, and then partially destroyed again since Warcraft 1.
Oh I know, but it's pretty clear that the one in the film is taking plenty of visual queues from how it appears in WoW.

This might be far-fetched...but...is it possible
that a lot of the settings we're seeing take place in current day, while the actual story itself of Lothar and Durotan is a flashback?
It would explain why Dalaran is flying (which is definitely was NOT during the first war), and why Stormwind looks very similar to the way it does in-game, which would be after it's rebuilt after being destroyed during the first war.

You can even see Westfall on the right side in the distance here, and the river that goes around Elwyn Forest.

Oh, very interesting.

Am I crazy or is a big section of SW just floating there on no pillars or land...
Hmm, possible.
Perhaps. I heard Rob Kazinsky is supposed to show up at some point.

UK folks, tickets are available to order. Got mine booked for Midnight on the 29th of May. Straight after a Hans Zimmer gig. Sweeeet.
Yeah, notice how you actually saw him.
Also, they changed it from "two worlds, one home" to "two worlds, one destiny" which seems more fitting given the probable ending.

Great looking poster, but a bit generic.

"Two worlds. One destiny."
Yeah, generic is the correct word.
Whatever gets asses in seats though. I have faith in the movie itself.
UK TV Spot. Nice to know they're still improving the CGI.

Durotan's line: "...to save our people" is so much better. Better detail, facial animation and no confused Orcs behind him.

The original:
It's the trailers fault you can't figure out simple storylines?
He looks way better compared to that shot in the first trailer. It's almost night and day.
The original:
As expected i think what they showed first was a bit older footage since it always happens that the people who make the trailers getting still W.I.P footage.

Those two shots look identical.
The orc girl looks too human. Is she half-human?

The green one in armor? Yes. As far as we know if the film, anyway. Even in the novels she was described as being more human-like. This is probably why she's live action rather than CGI.
Wait, its called Warcraft: The Beginning now? Urgh. And the trailers are so generic, slow them down a bit, have some decent dialogue instead of 1 line and a totally unrelated quip as follow up. Still hyped though, I think Jones has made something good, the studio is just marketing it wrong.
Only in the UK and other European countries. In America it's just Warcraft. I think it might be a copyright issue.
Ex. Zootopia is called "Zootropolis" in Europe.
Gotta agree, the marketing has been weird. Even Jones on twitter shrugged when asked about the music being used in the trailers. I hope the final theatrical trailer is slower and we don't see that damn jump-on-gryphon-with-sword scene even once, I swear it's been in every single one.

This is the first trailer/TV spot that looked intriguing to me, and its art style/CG also felt more right here.
I hope this movie ends up being fun.
I think you need to be a fan to really appreciate this movie. It's going to be interesting to see how many of the people seeing this actually know what the fuck Warcraft is.

The original:
I think CG-wise it's same. Somebody is messing with layers and post-processing. That's really the only difference here.
I thought the coloring looked better in the previous TV spot as well.
Is there not going to be a trailer in front of BvS or do we not know yet?
A couple of people from Singapore and Belgium reported seeing a new trailer in front of BvS, but no idea when the US one will come out.
There was none in Australia.
How could they not put it in front of this.
I don't know. I also don't know what other big movie coming out soon they can release a trailer with. The marketing team for Warcraft is not doing the film any favors.
It really has been a mediocre marketing campaign so far. We've still got three months until the film's release, so fingers crossed it'll improve as we get closer.
Enjoy
I don't remember that. Is that from a trailer? Link please! My attachment to Ironforge is primarily due to my Gnomish heritage but seeing my Dwarven cousins on screen will do!
How could they not put it in front of this.
They probably don't want the stink to rub off on them.

Didn't have a Warcraft trailer in my theater.
Enjoy
My ONLY issue is if that is the size of a dwarf, say we get a sequel, the Gnomes are gonna be fucking TINY...
and I want Gnomes in a sequel.
