The fuck did I just watch

You can't just have orcs and elves and humans all living together with no back story. This feels like movie #2 or 3 of a series.

I demand a prequel

Theyve already signed it for one.

It was better than I thought it was going to be after hearing about all the critic reviews. It might not be Oscar worthy but I didnt think it was a bad movie.

Agreed. Glad I ignored the critics on this one.

I think the whole point is that this universe the movie is set in just exists this way. Dont want to spend half a movie explaining something like that, wouldve taken away from what they were trying to do.

Idk I think a movie explaining it would be good. It would also make what happens in this one better because would would actually understand what the fuck they are talking about.

Youre not alone. I suspect a lot of the negative reviews are for similar reasons. They just sort of drop you into the middle of all of this stuff and you as the viewer are supposed to suspend disbelief right off the bat. I guess some people need to be eased into it a bit more.

there was a great war a few centuries ago, where the 9 races fought against the dark lord using magic and won.

This is the modern society built in its aftermath. The back story was told. Fucking power hungry elves.

Just watched it and enjoyed. The back story is what if the Lord of the rings existed into modern times.

I watched it yesterday. It was good but it was definitely padded to reach it's almost 2 hour running time.

thought it was a good movie. they could have gone deeper with the backstory with the races, but i think they did a good job summing it up. great war a long time ago. orcs chose the wrong side. people have treated then like shit ever since. elves rule the world.

also, i don't know if fairy is a race, but we've seen a centaur, dragon (was flying at night), orcs, elves, humans, and fairies. they mentioned dwarves i think.

i was thinking that too. lord of the rings but present time. except the elves and other mystical creatures didn't go away on some boat to leave the world to man.

Figures. It's always elves.

tbh, the heavy virtue-signaling in the commercial is one of the turnoffs. The other issue is just the whole gimmicky shit involving the wand.

You living under a rock? The past decade or more theres been a renaissance in television. Its no longer a step down in your career. Theres great, critically lauded, and well-paying roles. Started with stuff like Band of Brothers and the Sopranos, but I think shows like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones really broke the stigma.
