For the type of movie it is the ($100 million) budget isn't massive so I'm going to be reasonably forgiving if the CGI isn't the best. I haven't seen that last Hobbit film but I know people complain about the special effects and it had a much larger $250 million budget.
The most amazing thing about this film is that it's being directed by an actual fan of the franchise.

Hollywood is so been there done that with humans/dwarves and elves beating back legions of invading Orcs that I think it would have been an eye opener to have Orcs as the protagonists. Yet instead of seeing humans being evil and racist like Greymane and Garithos, I'm guessing the humans will all be heroic fighting against evil slobbering Orcs.
I suppose the trailer for what it's worth looks as though it will make at least a half hearted attempt at giving semi-valid reasons for the Orcs actions, what with needing a new home for their families after the destruction of Draenor. I hear the first script called for it to be purely Alliance heroes beating back the Orc bad guys, so it could have been worse. I just hope they show both sides sometimes being good, both sides sometimes being evil and several more somewhere in between.

I'll still check it out when it's on TV or something as I loved Moon and thought Source Code was pretty good.
Last I heard WoW still has 7 million subs so I doubt it will have trouble making its money back.
Monkei wrote: I didn't mean bad CGI though. The CGI in the Hobbit movies wasn't bad either, I think. The problem is that it was too much, and it all looked too "CGI-ey" and "green screeney". Places looked less real, creatures less scary and so on. Especially in comparison with the LOTR films, which had a lot more practical effects, costumes, scenery etc. back then. It's the same problem the Star Wars prequel trilogy had (its many other problems aside of course).
It might be less of a problem with the Warcraft aesthetics, who knows. Maybe that just works better. Most people know Warcraft from the videogame anyway, so the CGI might not be that much of a problem there. It looked really good to me in the trailer anyway, I would have guessed a budget of at least $150 million from my first impression.
