Screen Junkies is a known channel in YouTube, with "Honest Trailers," being one of its most famous shows. The show roasts its movies by being "honest" and the live adaptation of "Warcraft" is not an exception.
Game Rant explains that the movie made viewers rely on official "Warcraft" game material to understand the premise of the story. Being an overly ambitious project from the start, the movie was actually a successful video game-based movie this summer, despite getting mixed reviews from critics.
As is their custom, Screen Junkies would always use "Honest Trailers" to point out and brutalize the down sides of every movie with, like "Warcraft," calling it "the film that changed the world's expectations of video game movies...from crappy-looking low-budget messes to gorgeous-looking high-budget messes." Another description of the movie would also label it as "world's most expensive unskippable cutscene."
The "Honest Trailer" of "Warcraft" also featured Game Theory's MatPat who also shared knowledge about and complimented and defended the movie's accuracy and aesthetics - if not, meant for humor.
In spite of the movie being slammed, director Duncan Jones mentioned about making a "Warcraft" movie trilogy, according to Gamespot. He will have to depend how well the movie fared, which actually did earn a huge $430 million in box office mostly from the international market. The movieis actually reported to have a budget of $160 million before release. "Warcraft" may be projected to lose a lot of money but a sequel might still be on the way.
"Warcraft" is now available on the Blu-Ray and DVD.
