Beta Key Contest - Day Four

[vash117]

I really liked it because it showed the irony in Arthas' development. He was supposed to be some really noble and good character, but the cinematic shows just how far he has fallen.

 

[budman]

it was awesome, one of the best cinematics to date so far by blizz, simply because of the way they show arthas readying his minions.

 

[ryuzaaki36]

I absolutely loved it. Truly caught Arthas ruthless behavior imo in the video. Loved the minor details like his hair swaying in the wind. And of course Frostmourne.

 

[Sorelia]

I liked it. Visually it's stunning, but I'm not really a lore person, so I kind of preferred the way the Burning Crusade cinematic was to this. I like seeing quick scenes of players doing awesome things. I would have really liked to see some deathknight stuff....and while I personally didn't miss out on gnomes not being in it, I wouldn't have minded having some murlocs

 

[rehills]

I cant wait to get to expansion. the trailer was great. it has just enough spice to keep you wanting to know more. it would be better to be alittle longer but the info it supplied was just right. this is going to be the best so far

 

[Destined Being]

I belive the cinematic was very well done overall. Good level of detail, good atmosphere and of course Arthas; But what saddens me about this cinematic was that it was for one short, and secondly the cinematic only concentrated on Arthas and his army. I would have loved to seen more elaboration on Warcraft as a whole then just Arthas and his army.

 

[person123]

it is frekin awsome, i love how realistic it looks, and how the lich king summons that huge ice dragon. it makes me wanna play WOTLK so bad!!!

 

[Coderedpanda]

Rawr same comment as yesterday

 

[Vesi]

its good

 

[Sneaver]

I thought it was really cool. I like that they use the lore alot, it makes you curious about it

 

[xecti]

It was absolutely wonderful. The irony of the speech was wonderful in a heartachey sort of way. Despite that though I have to say I think a more action packed opening would have left people more excited. This one is great though if you are into the lore and are really feeling the story.

 

[tshrake521]

I thought it had much more potential, but the frost wyrm was badass.

 

[Kibane]

the wotlk cinematic was the best out of all the cinematics blizzard did, the cinematic with all the lore and stuff made me want to go buy WC3 to see what happened with arthas, best part is when he summons that skeletal dragon and all that fancy stuff!!!:bowdown: i put it on my ipod =P

 

[penguinduude]

I loved it. Blizzard always does outstanding animation. Also I like how they added Arthas' Father's voice talking about Arthas becoming king

 

[Cais]

It was awesome it tied in to the end of frozen throne quite nicely.

 

[kingdaniel97]

Not anywhere near Epic enough.... after finally playing through WC3 and rewatching the first 2 WoW cinematics... pretty disappointing

 

[SaucyZen]

I would also have to say the music made the trailer for me. The cinematics were beautiful and very well done but the soundtrack tied all of the elements together (very LOTR-esque) Once again, well done Blizzard!

 

[autarctic]

It is amazing and in my opinion blizzard's best one yet. I am one for ironic twists. and the power the lich king showed in order to "stir the hearts of his poeple" was amazing. The level a quality like always was amazing and the eye for detail is top notch. going to go watch it again

 

[Keryon]

Although I thought it was amaizing, proud to be part of the Blizzard Franchise of amaizing cinematics, and it introduced the main villain and death knights, I was still aching for something more...

 

[obbity]

I thought it was amazing. I love frost wyrms and hope the ones in game look half as good as the one in the trailer It was great how it sort of picked up where Warcraft III left off and really brought out the history and the future of Arthas while providing amazing visuals.

For someone looking for non stop action and killing, this wasn't the trailer for them. For a lore freak like me or someone looking for a meaningful cutscene, this hit the spot.

 

[Nieth]

I have not even seen it yet, but every blizzard cinematic is amazing! Remember the warcraft II one where they use the catapult to down the zeplin? Or when sarge mashes some por fella dog in Starcraft?

Gonna go watch it now but I am positive I will love it.

 

[bluejump]

I liked it but i thought the previous ones were better.

 

[Studmnky]

I enjoyed how it stayed true to the lore behind it, with Arthas' father talking and such.
I also enjoyed how it is setting up a colored-fire-scheme for the World of Warcraft Expansions; green for The Burning Crusade, and blue for the Wrath of the Lich King.
As well I enjoyed the simple quality of epic that was in it. Whether it be in the quality of the cinematic itself, or the things within the cinematic, it left me awestruck the first time I saw it.

 

[Wyzguy]

I loved the new trailer for Wrath of the Lich King, I had to watch it twice to absorb its greatness . I loved how it showed what the dragon looked like because it kind of shows that it will be either a 2 part phase boss, or the 2nd to last boss in the final raid. I also had loved how much of the lore they put behind it like when they had put his father's voice behind it when he was sitting on the icy throne. Too bad Arthas had gone and killed him D:

 

[Killerklark]

Pick me! Pick me!

 

[Aris Bloodlust]

Here Im and here is my post

I enjoy seeing the WoW:WOTLK movie cause I really love the way of Arthas, and im not a fan of he, but I really like that way. The iron will to go to the end, the mercyless, the strenght, the power.
I enjoy every Blizzard´s movie too, no matters about what it could be. I belive that every time they do better the art work (and I dont understand why the hell they dont do a large movie for the cinema ¬¬... ).

Sorry for the my bad english, but I only speak a little ^^u. My natural language is the spanish (and a little of elve xD).

 

[rezslayer]

First off, as with all of blizzard cinematic, WOW! All of the cinematic get better and better. I just like how they made the lore a part of the focus on this latest cinematic. The one thing that happens every time I'm watching one of the cinematic some one in the house walks by and makes the remark " what movie is that?".

rezslayer

 

[VividAriah]

The ironic narration was great.

 

[darkxmagicz]

Personally I was expecting an epic line like "You are not prepared" but the graphics were awesome!

 

[phyrin]

Well I really like’t it, I must say it’s one of Blizzards best work so far! Well this is what I think or it… It start off, with (I guess) memories of he’s father, about he’s birth (sort of giving us a bit of background information, if you will). As he awakens, he’s father’s voice continues, he’s father is trying to show him how to rule over he’s people. As he walks thru the desert of Northrend, we get a sense of how far Arthas/ The Lich King has cross’t over to the “dark-side”, mostly when he summons the undead dragon (I guess the dragon is there to sort of give us a picture of Arthas on the inside, as cold, evil, killing machine…). As the dragon fly’s over Northrend it is as if it is graining or empowering the vas army of undead at Arthas’s command (graining or empowering because when the undead yell out it is like the ice cold blue glow is flowing out ward… and empowering because the ice cold blue glow can be the power of The Lich King energizing them…).

 

[Unseeablething]

Descriptive, it showed the power of the Lich King. The fact he controls that many creatures is merely breath taking.

 

[conslayer69]

I thought i was ok.

I mean sure it had arthas but i think it should have had a huge all out war/battle like in the WAR cinematic.

Just my thoughts.

 

[Atvaar]

As alway Blizzard did impressive charecters and astounding backgrounds. I loved the misinterprited old King's prophacy for his son and visuals with his use of power but the clip though impessive left me wanting the the battle/conflict intensity at the end... Blizzard usually gives us some fast camra angles and a really intense sequence at the end to get us stirred up and I was left yerning for it in this one. Dont get me wrong I will deffinatly be getting the expansion but the cinema sold me on cool only and seemed to forget the intense and exciting that every other warcraft has thrown out there from the get go.

 

[Medalist]

Movie time could be a bit longer

 

[Scuro]

I thought it was short as well. But as always blizzard blows you away with their detail.

 

[5jerry1995]

I like the Wrath Of The Lich King cintmatic I think it realy tells what WOTLK is about.

 

[Ghormrand]

The entire cinematic was pretty ironic IMO. Short as well. But I definitely enjoyed it.

 

[nixice]

I thought it as ok, it felt like it kinda dragged on, and didnt inspire me at all. They could have done much better.

Betabetabetabetachooooochooooo!!!!!

 

[Tealk]

Graphically it was phenomenal!

I felt though that there really wasn't enough content to let you into the game. The cinematic should invite you into the game like Illidain telling you your not prepared.

 

[Seex]

It makes me want to play a deathknight, i really wish it didn't, but the cinematic was entirely building it up, i mean everyone agrees arthas is a badass, and deathknights by relation must also be badass. All in all amazing.

 

[Kawatoo]

My thoughts were as soon as i heard the guys voice this cinematic will beat all others... it did

 

[Dassard]

I felt as i watched the cinematic video on Wrath of the Litchking i loved it. Blizzard really excellent job by introducing the Deathknight . Showing that Arthas to is one himself. It make's me wanna play a Deathknight when the Wrath of the litchking Exspansion comes out.

 

[markroberts]

It's kinda cool, all cinematics are - they have to be otherwise no one would watch them eh ?

 

[kalashlar]

The cinematic is awesome. hopefully the game will at some point get a graphics update that lets it look half as good.

 

[lyshkaran]

I love it, i think it realy shows that arthas is still haunted by his past, i also love the part with the huge freaking dragon. The only thing i dont like about it is that it doesnt show anything of the new deathknight class, the BC one showed Blood elfs and Draieni (how ever you spell it ). I also wonder what dragon that is, if its a specific one or just some random one from the ground.

 

[Athri06]

It's absolutely amazing.
The hard work put into it so that the animation and graphics achieved something of that level is outstanding.

I really liked the classic, "Sword Into Ice" part. When the ice cracked and NightBane came out.
I was really awestruck the first time I saw it.
I found it very touching to hear Arthas' father's voice, as he remembers what his father told him when he was younger.

The amount of detail put on the dragon, Nightbane, Is almost too much to handle.

It's by far my favorite movie from Blizzard, that's related to WoW.
They chose a different style for this specific movie.
A style that's just based on one character, and one place, Instead of the ones where they show everything and everybody. If you get what I mean.

That's all I have to say at the moment.
~Athri.

 

[InkTank]

Blizzard is great at doing those epic feeling trailers.

In particular, this is cool for me because Warcraft has one of the few game lores I know anything about. I got chills standing in the throne room of the undead capital and saw the blood stain on the floor where the crown fell and heard the ghostly whispers in the chamber.

And now seeing Arthas again ...

This should be good.

 

[Ualone90]

I love the cinematic, is so cool and reminds me of the good old wc3 days...
Good luck to every1 btw

 

[everix]

I personally thought this cinematic trailer was amazing. The graphics were amazing and so was the background music. The speech made by his father in the background is great because of the irony of how hes talking to him about being king in his place someday and now he is "the lich king". This also made realize how much I want to play this. Zomg I love it =)

 

[Baindyn]

I loved the cinematic, provided a great since of wow lore as well as the amazing visuals that you would expect from blizzard
