Humph. Well, I'm not against game to film adaptations per se (although there haven't exactly been all that many good ones), but something about this news just fills me with dread. I suppose it's because I have a feeling it's going to turn out to be something incredibly pompous, filled with bare-chested muscle-men wielding improbably large swords as they slay hundreds of badly-rendered CGI monsters. Hopefully it won't sully my appreciation of the games too much.

Okay, I played the game for a very long time until I had to get Linux [still working on figuring out how to play it with it] and my father and I are excited beyond belief for this movie. The other films Legendary Pictures have done were amazing and did you see the trailers for the Burning Leigon expantion and the game? Blizzard is also very good at making trailers. Even if it turns out the way you think it will... wouldn' it still be awesome? And no one, NO ONE, goes around bare-chested in Azeroth. Perhaps a bunch of stupid looking Paladins [Paladumbs] with their swords of light slaying hundreds upon hundreds of monsters [not badly CGI either! Blizz knows what's good] but that still isn't too bad. That is, mainly, what the game[s] are/is about! Although, I do admit that the swords are kinda not in proportion with their bodies.
