the fact that the story is told from the alliance perspective as well as the fact that it is live action (make up covered tauren????

) will make it incredibly hokey. Blizz should have just cgi'd the whole storyline ala opening cinematics/star wars clone wars. watching an actress play a night elf druid will be laughable.
additionally it will just underscore the perception that this game is for basement dwellers
