Check out the amazing HD Intro Movie of World of warcraft: Burning Crusade over at Worldofwarcraft.com. Here are some movie stills to whet your appetite.



World of Warcraft Burning Crusade Movie Intro Spoilers after the jump.

The first part of the Burning Crusade Intro Movie shows the Dark Portal while Illidan talks in the background about "entering his realm". Then we get some nifty looks at a Draenei Shaman (He was holding a Hammer AND casting a spell) and a Mage/Warlock Blood Elf showing off their racial innate ability to siphon magic from magical beings.



Next up is a couple of combat scenes: A human Mage sheeping an opponent, A Troll on a Raptor mount charging, An Orc warrior being cut down by arrows while a Blood Elf tries to revive him, and a Draenei Hacking away at orcs.


The Intro Movie ends with Illidan holding a skull and rising up in the air with weapons in both hands shouting: "You are not prepared!".

IMHO Blizzard still rules the PC Cinematic arena. What if they went head to head with console champ Square Enix? My bet is on Blizzard. Why? One reason: Final Fantasy the Movie.
