It's about as true to the original story as the LotR movies. A large number of corners were cut in the story telling and the time frame is pretty drastically different than the games, but really it was pretty well done compared to what I was expecting. Given that they turned a 15 hour solo campaigns and an eight hour expansion packs into a single film it's not terrible at all. | ||

Might have been sometime during WCII I can't recall. If I recall correctly both WC1, and WC2+xpac had 2 campaigns that kind of contradicted one another. At any rate, I don't think they bastardized it very much. Certainly much less than for example the recent expansion WoD in WoW did. | ||

The expansion was about getting to the portal, then sending an elite force through to close the portal from Draenor, stranding these people out of Azeroth. So doesn't it already contradicts WC II since you can't have the Alliance if the races already like each other, there's already no more portal, and the orks didn't reach the sea? | ||

triggered the portal was supposed to be destroyed at the end of War 2 but the expansion decided they could go through it because dark magics or something it can be rebuilt | ||

The rewriting required for the events of the second war to take place are very very minimal. It's really not that bad at all. In the very least all the people that died in the original story died in the movie. + Show Spoiler + Meanwhile in WoD Thtall sends you off to meet his patents Durotan and Drakar in Dreanor despite both dying when he was an orclet. To me, I don't mind lore rewrites that are kind of splitting hairs or details that get minutely changed the same way they would if say one guy told the story, then it got told by a third party to a fourth party. I think when they totally retcon the story arc it's a little obscene and hurts right in the nerd. But this rendition was decently well done. If you had a big fan summarize the story to a third party and made the third party watch the movie I don't think they'd notice a single discrepancy. Little stuff is in a film like this is bound to be different. It's like the LotR films, I could list probably 100 discrepencies from the books but it's still largely the same story told by a different medium. | ||

I wouldn't mind them completely ignoring the lore but building a better story off the spirit of it. Call it rose-tinted glasses or whatever but I seem to remember SC/BW story bring pretty badass. Wc3 as well. | ||
