Almost ten years later I watch this from time to time and even though I stopped playing World of Warcraft some years ago I still get my urge back, just because of this movie. However, never stepping my foot there again ;) Lovely piece of work Jack Hunt.
Found one cool detail that I’ve missed over all these years. In the beginning, the male narrator wields Shadow’s Edge. And at the final fight, he wields Shadowmourne instead. So it’s like he completed Shadowmourne during the course of conquering ICC, which I think is an amazing detail.
These people who did the icecrown citadel raid when it came out are the ones who really enjoyed a great mmorpg exp. Let history record their achievements
Arthas: "Father. Is it over?" Terenas: "No, my son. There are 4 raids everyday at 3PM, 6PM, 9PM, and 12AM." Arthas: "Sheeeeeeeeet......................."
Nice video,epic memories...3 years have been passed since I was raiding ICC with my guild and watching this lovely video made me feel like it was only yesterday.Thank you very much for this epic video,you have made feel like home.
How awesome would it be if Blizzard would make a PvP event out of the Gunship battle? Instead of NPC's you'd be facing another 25 players! That would be epic!
its a long time past! what a wonderful nostalgic movie you all created. it makes one longingly remember how exciting raids were. creating the raid into a movie was just epic! thank you so very much.
One of The best work, I have ever seen. The Atmosphere, soundtrack. Incredible. You guys should do movie in general. Would have succes bigger than ever. Thank for this masterpiece.
***** so they took out all his generals, but he needs that? pfft, keep in mind its a video game we're talking about. If all the heroes died there wouldn't be any game so that would never happen anyway.
i honestly love the part where Saurfang comes for the body of his son. the voice acting is amazing, and you can even feel the emotion behind the story and dialogue
This video show that your style worked in anilla/bc but didnt work in wolk and so on, the format dosent work anymore because now everyone can do the raid and see the last boss its no longer "exlusive" to the "hardcore" and because of this it remove the only thing that made it special Now its just always the same and its what make yours videos pretty boring its just Intro to boss, adventuruers say stuff that dont really matter since its in the dungeon jounral like "Ho this boss is named this and that" then they run boss sometime say something but clearly since everyone have doen this boss everyone know his quotes, then little part battle with epic han zimmer or god of war music because what els? Then boss die and its next boss with exactly the same thing.... Like i really enjoyed watching burning crusade the movie when i was 16 and was really like "omg this is awesome" but on ICC i really felt like "Ok...its always the same"
@@AdriatheBwitch When blizzard changed the raid format i had to do something, because yes everyone can do the raid and then the interest/hype for my video could drop... That's why there is a difference between my videos Naxxramas/BC and Ulduar/ICC .. I edited Naxxramas in 3 weeks, but Icecrown Citadel in 6 months. There is much more work on my 3 last WoW movie, and it was a huge succes despite the new raid format. I understand when you say "its always the same", but not since the beginning I think. But yes, after Ulduar, ICC and Dragon Soul I also said to myself this thought.. So at some point i'm agree with you Sorry for my english and thanks for you comment !
@@JackRomain Dont you worry, i am not a native engish either so i am not very watchfull on yours, but anyway i had no problems understanding you =) I know and im sorry if my message can sound a bit like flame but i actually loved BC the movie it was like awesome to me especially the part in hyjal i thought them usic was great i often like to soemtime re-watch the part with waves, the first 3 bosses are for me a part i really ike, i dont know why maybe because of the style like when you make the characters go back and forth like if it was back and forth in time since its cavern of time it makes sesne and its cool idea Parts i liked less and find silly in a funny way was when that Morogrim boss from SSC is slaming his foot in rythme with them music, i find it silly >< i dont find it epic but funny And yes i do understand that you put lot of work in your videos since ulduar, since ask for ppl who actually does voice acting and add a lot of things to make it look less like all the raids someone would do in the game, but i agree with you on that "its allthe same" part on ICC i already felt it but DS clearly was too much for me i remember even in my guild ppl said the same as i say right now tha you have the "talking then fight pattern" To be honnest i have no idea how to fix this, because its true that raids deserve to have their movies and lore epxlained around them but it is hard to make the perfect mix of lore and gameplay without it looking like some homework (like for exemple when the actores say the tactics on marrowgar it sound not very lore) and in another hand if ppl want to see the actual boss they will just watch a video from top world guilds so yeah its very hard to show that epic dificulty on the gameplay part anymore Also what i have a "big" problem with is the musics choices, i mean, its not bad sure, the problem is that its just already known, everyone know "to glory" from two step from hell and in the same way everyone use these to make everything look epic and it quickly become old =/ like i heard these like 500 times without even searching them on my own on YT they are just so much used that it become annoying and no more speciale and maybe even out of place considering sometime the person iwll relie solly on the music titile (river styx for exemple in the intro) which dosent fit in the ambiance of icy ICC. But biggest problem to me is that two step from hell even if its good do always the same too, i mean sometime i myself confuse to glory and protectors of earth because for me it sound nearly the same =/ Anyway thanks for your fast asnwer and again i really dont try to be salty or hating on it
And this is why I want an Icecrown Citadel Adventure for Hearthstone so badly. Imagine it now: New hero class: Death Knight, played by Arthas 60 new cards All the awesome moments of ICC recreated in card form, even the airship battle A wisecracking Lich King It would be so amazing.
That's a rather stupid statement, Cataclysm was meh but Pandaria had a great story, bringing back the pandaren who showed up 8 times in Warcraft III and other then dailies it was a really fun Xpac.
***** Well theres 1. the story its a follow up to one of blizzards greatest stories in warcraft, 2. it was just right blizzard got out of the mind set that only the hardcore people can raid and see the end game content
The Broom near the beginning was the best fighter in the whole place lol this may not have been the best vid out there, but by God it brings an honor to those Argent Crusaders among us, who fought and died for the oath taken to slaughter the Lich King! As an icc hardcore raider myself back in Wrath, you did a good justice to the adventure of it, man the memories and the deaths ... and the elevator... damn that elevator lol but still great job, fellow Argent Crusaders /salute
Falamu445 It's still made in the U.S. We're used to our forms of the words, so that's what they use. It's not really a big deal. Plus, Humans are the only medieval race, really. Everything else is fantasy, mostly anyway.
ooooh, I remember when Wrath of the Lich King got released, I was so excited and nervous.. Icecrown Citadel is the best instance someone can ever do in wotlk, but this expansion has passed and the best freaking experience is gone..I left retail when MoP got released and started to play on eternal wow instead, they're giving me back my old wotlk memories
AWESOME!!!! You have told the tale of what happened in Icecrown Citadel in the best possible way :D Keep it up, buddy :D Although it's a shame the Lich King died in the end, Blizzard had so many ways to finish this where Arthas survived, but they just had to kill it -_-
Watched this for years and have been watching it even more lately with the announcement of Wrath classic coming this year, can't wait to relive the best expac and bring down yogg and arthas again :D

@@JackRomain p
Indeed. Over ten years and still remember Jack and his videos. He is a part of WoW history without a doubt. The would be Baelish of the era of WoW.
father is it over ?
No my son ... just give them your freaking mount and they wont come back ...
Well he actually did that because the monut had 100% drop rate.
100% drop rate im doing this raid week in week out but it never drops :S
Giordano Broekhuizen he meant 0.1% drop rate 😉
Big difference XD
S
Anyone else still watching this just because of the awesome Soundtrack?
yes me
@@MasteroGaming dude me too, I come back to this video every other month lol!
Sindragosa and Lady DW are my faves. I wish I knew what the nusic was.
@@donotjudgeme251 they showed the music at the end of the video the names lol
MASTERO Oohh. Cool, thanks!
Back when raids were epic
Found one cool detail that I’ve missed over all these years. In the beginning, the male narrator wields Shadow’s Edge. And at the final fight, he wields Shadowmourne instead. So it’s like he completed Shadowmourne during the course of conquering ICC, which I think is an amazing detail.
After so many years I still come back to this masterpiece. I miss the good old world days :( so many good memories
Best..... expansion.... ever.
I liked tbc the most
These people who did the icecrown citadel raid when it came out are the ones who really enjoyed a great mmorpg exp.
Let history record their achievements
look at their gear first xDD they probably did icc like 100000 times before this video :D
Thanks for all your comments
Awesome!
Hey Jack, how you doing ? I need some help here because I am making a movie on Wow me too. If you can give me some help, I will be pleased.
Pls make for mop pls *.* your videos are great and ICC is the best with that music
Jack Hunt you make awesome wow movies please keep it up.
Jack Hunt Moar please, your the best at these.
Arthas: "Father. Is it over?"
Terenas: "No, my son. There are 4 raids everyday at 3PM, 6PM, 9PM, and 12AM."
Arthas: "Sheeeeeeeeet......................."
Arthas was defeated dishonestly when he was floating not able to defend himself.
Never a greater story told than that of arthas and terion
Nice video,epic memories...3 years have been passed since I was raiding ICC with my guild and watching this lovely video made me feel like it was only yesterday.Thank you very much for this epic video,you have made feel like home.
Still watching it till this day.
Still couldn’t stop watching this, the best expansion of WOW, and my best youth memories.
"Argh... Frostmourne, obey me!" such an epic line.
That moment when one of your guild mates falls off the ship and everyone on vent starts laughing their asses off.
Dude this was epic. When I heard To Glory come in I was like ahhhh shit!
Very well done man. Awesome stuff.
I’ve been looking for this video for years man jeez
8 years and i still back to this video, very good job ;)
How awesome would it be if Blizzard would make a PvP event out of the Gunship battle? Instead of NPC's you'd be facing another 25 players! That would be epic!
that would ruin it for pve ers
+Nikesh Mistry No one ever said it had to be in ICC.
jaharned1 then wouldn't it just be another battleground with a dumb gimmick
Can you feel the cold hand of death upon your heart?
+►Harley◄ Still gves me shivers after all this time.
most epic moment
"Any questions?"
"Yeah, we doing cheevs or is this just a solid run?"
its a long time past! what a wonderful nostalgic movie you all created. it makes one longingly remember how exciting raids were. creating the raid into a movie was just epic! thank you so very much.
One of The best work, I have ever seen. The Atmosphere, soundtrack. Incredible. You guys should do movie in general. Would have succes bigger than ever. Thank for this masterpiece.
We 25 v 1. We are Heroes!
***** yea sure he had. The thing is that they get summoned in small groups. Now imagine Lich King summoned every boss, every ghul etc at once. hehe
Anyhow I liked the video
Yup he just wanted to test "heroes". As he himself said he wanted tp raise them as the most powerful champions of the scourge if they were worthy.
***** so they took out all his generals, but he needs that?
pfft, keep in mind its a video game we're talking about.
If all the heroes died there wouldn't be any game so that would never happen anyway.
Father is it over
-no my son there will only been one lich king every wednesday
still amazing in 2019!
I shared a tear for this.That nostalgia... ty for this video.
i honestly love the part where Saurfang comes for the body of his son. the voice acting is amazing, and you can even feel the emotion behind the story and dialogue
very nice , you proved that you deserve my sub....well done
Thanks for watching

!!! so old but i love it! it made me cry a little when the heros came in XD
Whitewolf38/Awesomepaw33 Aj check out dalaran wow private server, you can still play wotlk. I've fallen in love with WoW again!
You got the talent with directing, Good work.
man your videos are amazing! very insperational they always get me in the mood to play wow! thanks for making them!
Better love story Then twilight...
Than
And this is why I want an Icecrown Citadel Adventure for Hearthstone so badly. Imagine it now:
New hero class: Death Knight, played by Arthas
60 new cards
All the awesome moments of ICC recreated in card form, even the airship battle
A wisecracking Lich King
It would be so amazing.
hearthstone sucks, they would ruin all the coollness and atmosphere with shitty jokes and other bs. same for naxx they did
+Ege Baysal True...but many play it and many want a dk/necromancer class
+DrScaphandre I say they would place Darion as the playable hero
Darion or Arthas, yeah
Wish kind of granted?
Do the Siege of Orgrimmar movie pls!!
Grats, one of the best movie out there. You have my sword.
this flashes back so many good memories...
I wonder why was Rotface skipped in the Plagueworks wing.
+Alijamaru He wasn't, you just didn't see both deaths. You can see the transition at 11:43 :)
"Any question"
deep silent.........
" well.. this should be interesting.. "
LoL
@tom Hollander Blizzard loves fan made videos on RUclips and also it's fair use
This video makes me sad .. I cried when I watched it.. You've my respect, It's so beatiful.
You played Heart of Courage in this video. This video is now badass. Period.
wow game ended after lich king !!! rest in peace wow.! i miss wotlk days!!! and all other tbc and vanilla times .!!!
That's a rather stupid statement, Cataclysm was meh but Pandaria had a great story, bringing back the pandaren who showed up 8 times in Warcraft III and other then dailies it was a really fun Xpac.
Wow is not dead. It has merely been damaged
Wow is not dead if it was then no one will play
Seriously why people like WotLK so much? It was terrible. 1 Shadow Bolt= like half of your mana, because mana handicap was terrible.
***** Well theres 1. the story its a follow up to one of blizzards greatest stories in warcraft, 2. it was just right blizzard got out of the mind set that only the hardcore people can raid and see the end game content
song from start at 06:50
Anyone here in 2021? 🤪
This was put together really well!!! good job!
The Broom near the beginning was the best fighter in the whole place lol this may not have been the best vid out there, but by God it brings an honor to those Argent Crusaders among us, who fought and died for the oath taken to slaughter the Lich King! As an icc hardcore raider myself back in Wrath, you did a good justice to the adventure of it, man the memories and the deaths ... and the elevator... damn that elevator lol but still great job, fellow Argent Crusaders /salute
What's the song at the gunship battle?
darude - sandstorm
***** No you
Machine vandals - edged blade :)
WoW is killer warcarft lore ... i am rly sad about it
siege of orgrimmar please :D
I seriously almost cried at the end! GREAT piece of work!
Thank you. Thank you for your work. I enjoyed this greatly, and I know many people will for many years to come. Thank you.
Why do the European characters bear American inflections? Nozdormu's magics?
There are no European characters; This is Azeroth. This game is made in the USA, so obviously it will have our inflections.
TheMcrw1 But European, not should have ENGLISH ACCENTS?
What?
TheMcrw1 You Americans did not have kings or queens, the medieval setting is best for English
Falamu445
It's still made in the U.S. We're used to our forms of the words, so that's what they use. It's not really a big deal. Plus, Humans are the only medieval race, really. Everything else is fantasy, mostly anyway.
Siege of Orgrimmar pls jack
Great vid!! Love when the raids are turned into a movie type format
ooooh, I remember when Wrath of the Lich King got released, I was so excited and nervous..
Icecrown Citadel is the best instance someone can ever do in wotlk, but this expansion has passed and the best freaking experience is gone..I left retail when MoP got released and started to play on eternal wow instead, they're giving me back my old wotlk memories
love the work broght me back to when WoW was worth playing, and where you saw true devoted players do a dam good job
those background musics really made the video succeed
Je me lasserai jamais de cette vidéo ! Icecrown Citadel....
When King Terenas shouted "RISE UP CHAMPIONS OF THE LIGHT! !!" Oh man chills I remember downing LK for the first time had so many feels :(
Best fan made film ive yet seen, well done all, well done.
11 years after, im still here!
This has to be the best WOW movie ive seen made great job guys
I miss the feeling of raiding, this was fantastic and made my nostalgia gland hurt.
Ohhh the memories....thank you for this vid.
Best expansion ever, i miss it :( btw great video
Sick man, Keep the good work up !
Reminds me on good old times, thank you for the video
Watching in 2017 - Brought back magical memories - Best Expansion without question!
Blizzard should hire your entire team. Well done Jack Hunt
good work, the nostalgia is real, and ICC was definetly the best raid :)
Already saw a million times, great job!
24:10 the best speech in history delivered by one of the best actors in history
Blizzard should have people like this on payroll. Think of how many people restarted their subscription because these great WoW videos.
AWESOME!!!! You have told the tale of what happened in Icecrown Citadel in the best possible way :D Keep it up, buddy :D Although it's a shame the Lich King died in the end, Blizzard had so many ways to finish this where Arthas survived, but they just had to kill it -_-
Dam you reminded me of the good old days wrath was the best expansion for pvp and pve .thank you for this awesome video
Very nicely done and great quality, makes me regret not doing ICC in full.
This video always takes me back
December 2019 and still the BEST expansion.
I almost cry with so many memories. Thousand of wipes before arthas. So many mechanics to do. BEST EXPANSION EVER!!
This was epicly done. Enjoyed every second.

I remember when you could watch this vid without a advert showing up every other minute.

This was a great expansion and final raid. Loved running it with my guild - The Chaotic Band.
Man these was really awesome !! Keep up the good work :)
Absolutely brilliant! Keep up the AMAZING work! I love this!
