Except of Muldav, everyone here seems to give this cinematic a 5/5, so it's time that I come.
I've watched this cinematic and I think it's not bad, but also not really as awesome as most people comment here. I think this is more a collection of SFX than a movie. There is much to few suspense and atmosphere.
The effects were too many. It's very rarely that this is the case, but here, that's the thing. Fewer effects and more and also some detail camera-views often affect more than a longer list of "special effect - ..."-triggers.
The beginning was in this category better, but here, the terrain and the doodads weren't good enough. The design of the (forgot the name) forest was much better, that's what it should be like. In the beginning, some of the doodads fly in the air - not very impressive. Use Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown to change the flying hight of objects.
Camera movement was also good but could also have been better. Sound and music selection was OK.
Story was useful, but there weren't many interesting ideas in it: a warrior-mage has trained much and is going to kill all enemy mages.
The credits seemed to be copied from blizzard, but they were also OK.
So let's see again:
story: 3.5/5
visual effects: 4.5/5 (because there are simply too much of them, quality is 5/5)
Sounds: 4/5
Music & atmosphere: 4/5
Cameras: 4/5
---------------------------
All in all: 4.3/5
You seem to be one who has finished studying and now wants to show what he can do. Technical, there is not much you can learn anymore, now the art begins.

PS: All critizism in this comment is on a much higher level than the most cinematics posted here are, so keep that in mind!
5/5
. I can definitely see a correlation between this and DBZ though...
. You, in my opinion, exceed blizzards standards in every way.
