Ok, found the new European tv spot. Very similar to the first trailer but has better music/more footage.

Is The Beginning the official subtitle?
Only in Europe for some reason.

With that subtitle it's clear they want to make more.
Well, yeah. Duncan Jones has story plans for a trilogy and said he was willing to come back if this first film does well enough.

I think it's a mistake to attach a subtitle like that to a movie that may not get a sequel. There is no doubt that this will have cult following in the worst case scenario that the movie bombs and it will just hurt knowing that there could have been more.
The main actor is kind of awful. What else has he been in?
I hope it will happen...we need goddamn Arthas!
That's Travis Fimmel. He stars in the History Channel series Vikings and is amazing in it.

Fassbender played a British lieutenant in Basterds and knocked it out of the park.

I was more interested when Sam Rami was attached, but if they throw in a Leeroy Jenkins shoutout I'll go see it.
I like Sam Rami as a director, but the story he was offering had issues and Blizzard wasn't a fan of it either.
-New human protagonist that doesn't exist in the lore
-Horde and Orcs portrayed as evil and the Alliance is good; incredibly basic morality
-Takes place between Warcraft 3 and WoW. There isn't enough time in a movie to get through that much exposition
I still wish we could get a decent trailer cut for this. I've seen the new spots and they still aren't good. None of the trailers are invoking any excitement in me and I love the Warcraft universe and games. I'm still going to see the film but I wish I felt this desire or need to see it.
Another 1 minute trailer, few new scenes:

It seems that way.
Seems strange doesn't it? Like they're already planning for more Warcraft movies.
They've said the story will be a trilogy if this one does well enough.
I can't see that happening. I have seen the trailer draw laughs in theaters, this has massive disaster written all over it.
What make people laugh in the trailer exactly? Some scene in particular, or is it "Warcraft? lol nerd movie!"

I like all the talent in this movie, but I think the costume designs for the humans are so bad and that's what's making me not visually vibe with the film.
I hope it looks a lot better on the big screen

If BvS can be successful, so can this.
Are you really comparing two of the oldest and most successful ips in history to warcraft?
No disrespect to warcraft it's brand is strong but it isn't even anywhere near batman and superman.
Warcraft has its own convention and a theme park. Does batman?
Not a theme park, but Batman's had the most kick-ass roller-coaster at Six Flags: Great America for 25 years
Man I love that thing.

Are you serious?
Warcraft is big but it doesn't hold a candle to Batman at all. Don't be delusional.
And yes, while Warcraft has Blizzcon (which is not just dedicated to Warcraft), Batman has...well basically every comic-focused convention.
Six Flags has DC themed/branded Batman attractions as well.
Blizzcon started as Wow focused celebration. I think China enjoys warcraft much more than Batman. That alone almost guarantees warcraft movie's success, he'll like I said they have this huge, successful but illegal theme park, size of Disney land.
Let's just wait and see how receptive the audience will be in the west.
You're living in the clouds if you think warcraft is anywhere near batman. Asterix has a theme park guess he's bigger than batman too.

It will be a shame if they don't use any of the Warcraft 2 OST.
This summer we'll see who has stronger legs
that's the beauty of movies, they can quickly destroy or elevate a brand to heaven.

I have a good feeling that Warcraft will have a better critical reception than BvS, but there's no way it performs better than it. BvS has a weekend all to itself far away from all of the other blockbusters. Warcraft has competition on its release weekend as well as the previous and following weekends.
And that's before taking into account that Batman and Superman are bigger IPs worldwide.
In Latin America it's called WARCRAFT: The First Encounter of Two Worlds, or something like that.
It's not a WoW movie though.
It's not a WoW movie. It's characters, plot and setting are based on the 1994 RTS Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, as well as the Warcraft novels "That Last Guardian" and "Rise of the Horde."
The average joe thinks of warcraft as that online game.
The average joe doesn't know what "a warcraft" is.
Warcraft was pretty mainstream for half a decade. TV ads, Mr. T, all that.
