Right after Legendary Pictures' Godzilla panel at Comic-Con, moderator Chris Hardwick surprised us by introducing the first teaser trailer for Blizzard's World of Warcraft! I'll get right into the description of the incredibly cool looking footage that we saw....
The footage starts out in a wretched desert landscape environment. You can tell it's on another planet or dimension based on a hint of green glowing light in a cloud mass in the sky. A fantasy-looking male character enters the scene. He's dressed like a medieval-style Mad Max. As he stands alone, he takes a drink of water and then pulls a huge sword with a dragons head on the hilt from behind his back. He holds it in his hand like he's preparing for battle. As he looks around he sees the skeletal remains of a dead soldier in armor, and then sees something in the distance. He approaches the dead soldier and picks up a shield laying next to him. At that point he slams the sword and the shield together, making an intimidating sound as a way of telling whatever is coming to him that he's ready to fight! The camera pulls back and we're looking over the green shoulder of an Orc who raises a giant hammer into view! We also see a classic western style gunslinger shot of the soldier ready to fight the Orc in the distance. The two charge each other, as the man raising his sword, and the Orc raises his hammer. We see the Orc jumping up in the air and bringing the hammer down right on us... epically badass!
The film's director, Duncan Jones, then came out, expressing his crazy excitement about making the movie. Hell, I'm excited about him making it because I know he's going to do a hell of a job bring the film to the big screen! He confirmed that the movie would start shooting early next year, and that was about it. Jones is going to destroy it in the best way possible! I can't wait to see what he has in store for it!

I actually really enjoy the Warcraft lore. Use to spend hours reading article after article on the wiki. Am I super excited? Meh. Will I go see it in theaters? I'll try anything once.

I likewise enjoy the Wacraft lore. But I see no conceivable way to make this work as a big budget, mainstream movie and not have it sink whatever studio makes it. There are around 10 million WoW subscribers worldwide. If they all go see this 3 times, it still wouldn't be profitable. I don't see the interest in this movie extending too far beyond that.
 
Mortal Kombat was a good video game movie, imo. Have there been any others?

A lot of failures of games to movies and very few good ones,so few mortal Kombat is about the only one i can think of. They are also making a new mortal kombat supposed to come out sometime this year will see if that one is any good

Come on guys... super mario bros? John liguizamo as Luigi? How perfect can you get? /endsarcasm
 
I can definitely say that I've been waiting for this since its first announcement... and I will definitely be seeing it in theaters 3D (assuming).
 
So what part of lore would make the best movie? Cataclysm would be exciting, but might need too much backstory or dumbing down for new audiences.
