Actually this is the first WoW cinematic that is based upon the story and is not just random shots of chars. The game could use more of that - a lot more.
Honestly, I thought their previous cinematics were better. Matching it to the VO worked very well, but visually a lot of little things caught my eye and bugged me. Lolz.
Justin: yeah. especially since Blizzard announced the exact date and time their trailer would be shown on Monday. ;) http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/08/18/leipzigs-games-convention-to-feature-wrath-cinematic/
Warhammer's cinematics blow WoW's out of the water in my opinion. I know that the Warhammer universe is much more visceral and that accounts for some of it, but I think they actually give you a sense of what you're going to see in the game while still being awesome.
Very badass. I wish they would stop dicking around with WoW so much and release other Warcraft games. I'm such a huge fan of the Warcraft universe, but I don't have the time for WoW anymore and I got bored with the game before BC even came out. Unfortunately, it looks like I won't be able to play a real Warcraft 3 sequel…
