WOTLK is for me even better than the Burning crusade that i held close for a long time and is at breaking point of Diablo II cinematics (for instance the best of em : Act III).

This is a thing about Activition Blizzard. They have been wanting to create a cinematic series of movies from most of their work, but the sheer cost of the production and distribution is off-putting to say the least. The movie Warcraft the Beginning is just an example of how off-putting the price tag on Blizzard's movie can be as they were forced to use actors and adapt the scenario to a simpler setup than they wanted due to the production cost skyrocketing through the sky. As one of my friend in movie production said: Activision Blizzard has a lot of talents in creating original stories and designs, but they don't have what it takes to make a commercially good movie. It's not about the talent to render stuff or the story or how cool looking stuff is looks, but about how you can make the content flow in a great way from start to finish, but while staying within the length desired and all that with as little change to the environment as possible because, in movies, changes is the costing bit.

There's just no argument to be made that the Lich King raising Sindragosa while King Menethil speaks in the background is a cooler spectacle than Grom Hellscream attacking Mannoroth with the Blackfuse Company's gadgets. "Ohhh I cast a spell on a dead body with my scary LichSkullPowerDeathSword! Ohhhh..." Please. Such a pretty boy under that helmet.

@@keamu8580 First of all I think you and I look for very different things in cinematics, and unlike me you don't seem to be interested or invested in Arthas' story, which makes this almost a needless discussion. Anyway: I don't think you understood what I wrote either, as the WoD cinematic being a "spectacle" was my point. You got to check off more boxes than "cool" to be concidered one of the greatest cinematics. If making an impact on the viewer was just about having them go; "Ooooh, things go boom boom, hell yeah!", then sure, it's great. But I was hardly invested in that story at all, so it was nothing more than a spectacle to me, with very little impact. Grom's story ended in WC3 as far as I'm concerned, and I've disliked Garrosh from the very beginning. He was a selfish, warmongering prick with no redeeming qualities, certainly not any I'd bother go looking for. So to me it was indeed just a spectacle with very little impact. So I don't think the spectacle makes it a better cinematic at all. I am a fan of Arthas' story, and I think the WotLK cinematic was a perfect re-introduction to bring him back from WC3. Feel free to read the OP again as to why. Though the Lich King certainly has no redeeming qualities, Arthas used to, and he had a far more interesting journey than Garrosh. You may disagree 100%, and that's fine, i don't mind. But to claim that the WoD cinematic is better than the WotLK as undisputable, that's a little silly. Especially if we're going by subjective standards.

@@0That_Guy0 Sorry but due to eating too many paint chips I haven't the attention span to read your rant, however, take solace in knowing that it is very likely others WILL read it! Kudos for writing all that text. That reminds me of one time when I attended a picnic with my auntie Judith. I remember it like it was yesterday. “Here, put this in the basket.” Judith directed the children like a sergeant on D-Day. A flurry of activity centered in the kitchen as they prepared for the Annual Ladies Auxiliary picnic. She placed the container of floweret cut radishes in front of Cindy. Will was in charge of sandwiches. He opened a beautifully wrapped sandwich and took a bite. “Ew. What’s this?” Judith snatched the food from his hand. “These are cucumber sandwiches.” She placed the rest into the picnic basket. “I told you children that these are for the Ladies Auxiliary. Everything has to be perfect.” “Won’t there be hot dogs?” “I’m not sure,” she wiped down the counter with a tea towel. “I made you peanut butter and jelly just to be safe.” Cindy rolled her eyes, “What a stupid question, doofus. These are ladies, and they won’t have the yummy food like hotdogs and chips.” “But it’s a picnic.” “It’s not that kind of picnic.” She held out her pinky finger and put her nose in the air. “The hoity-toity will be there.” “That’s enough, kids.” Bill walked into the kitchen. He lifted the ice cooler and handed it to Cindy and Will. “Load this into the wagon.” The kids rushed out of the kitchen, eager to get away from their mother. Judith noticed Bill’s weary expression. She knew he worked hard, and it was because of her. Ever since her best friend Annie married a wealthy man, Judith wanted the same thing. “It looks like it might rain. Are you sure you want to go to this shindig?” Annoyance made her reply sharp. “This is a big deal, not everyone gets invited, you know.” Bill walked around the table and hugged her. “Judy, Judy, Judy,” he started his horrible Cary Grant imitation. She leaned into his hug. A shout from outside broke the moment. Bill sighed. “I got this. You finish here, and we’ll hit the road.” Judith carried the rest of the items out to the station wagon and overheard Bill talking to the kids as they cleaned up the mess. The cooler had tipped over, and everything was in the driveway. “…this is important to your mother. You two have to be on your best behavior the whole day.” “Why does she care about a bunch of old ladies?” Will ran in circles not really helping. Cindy crawled under the tailgate to retrieve a soda. “Ever since Aunt Annie joined them she’s always so mad.” “Aunt Annie used to be fun too.” He stopped spinning. “Is Mom going to stop being fun?” Cindy snorted, “She already did. And she’s not even in the club yet.” Ha ha, those were the days.

WoD for Warcraft's choice was ok but i think it could be better with Mist of Pandaria or even Battle of Azeroth. Yet... i know... WoW's lovers would choose WotLK but we speak about cinematic guys, not lore. No Diablo ? 😶

I definitely don't agree, MoP's cinematic is one of the worst in terms of character appearance. It's better than Dragonflight, but that isn't setting the bar high.

You picked some relatively recent stuff… for the most impressive stuff in history, I’d say the opening for the title screen of Mechwarrior 2, Command and Conquer Red Alert 1, 7th Guest Star Craft 1 and Half Life 1 were mind bogglingly awesome when they came out. Of course it’s not an apples to apples comparison, but I think those games deserve a shout out.

You only Missed the BEST one ever made, The Diablo 4 announcement Trailer...Sent shivers up my spine when I saw the look on Lilith's face as she surveyed the world in which she was newly "born" into and the crouching, humble figure in front of her. She took him in as one might look at an ant on the ground.
