      Thought they already made it. It was called Kung Foo Panda.

    Is there any justification for not having Uwe Boll do this?

      Yes, Uwe Boll is a moron without skill famous for making shitty video game adaptations in order to exploit German tax law.

  4. Most boring movie ever by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    The first hour is basically just a group of people waiting for their tank to get online so that they can start the raid. The movie ends a half hour later, after the group had to settle for their off-tank filling the spot of their main. The group then proceeds to wipe to trash mobs over and over and over, until their healer has a complete breakdown, quits the guild, disconnects from the raid.

    I can see it now: A highly regarded WOW player doesn't show up to two consecutive raids and the entire guild leaves their basement to figure out where he disappeared to.

    Alternate title: "The girl with the Dragon Mount."

    When you watch the movie for the first time, you'll be given a stamp book. Each time you pay to watch the movie you get a stamp.
    For stamps 1-7, you only get to watch the first 15 minutes of the movie.
    Stamps 8-14 allow the next 15 minutes, but you have to watch the first 15 minutes each time as well.
    Stamp 15 allows you to sit through the ad break.
    16-22 gives you the 20 minutes after the ad break, and you're told to enjoy the extra free content.
    23-29 has only ten minutes, though, but that's okay because this is WARCRAFT we're talking about.
    The 30th stamp will allow you to watch the underwhelming finale and the To Be Continued screen.

    At random points you will be set upon by an angry mob as you come out from the movie. You will be mugged and beaten up with baseball bats for the true World PVP experience.
