Orcnet: Same as abgm's review but I hope you can do better with the change:

wait until i get the popcorn and the pepsi for see it

edit
well the last cinematic was approved the 24th Jun 2013 so i wish you good luck, cinematic maps are harder to approve as i see

good things

1) Enviroment is ok
2) Grammar is ok and timings are ok
3) Size, cinematics very heavy, you can loose the will of download it, size is perfect
4) History is very acurate

sugestions

the first part Lorthar arrive
the dialogs are ok but maybe you can cut the chat a little and go to the point

i sugest between parts, maybe add some memories of lorthar, of battle to have some action, is like to much talk, and i or the audience wants actions and figths, maybe somenthing short, or maybe they can be attacked while they do camp. also maybe some units movements like mining or login like people is doing something

the second chat the camp
again if you can reduce the chat, the chat of the first part and then here, is like, action is needed, a little, that why i sugest something betweent this two scenes

guldan act
when guldan talks to cho gal about create the storm reavers, i sugest to make walk the heroes away, because doomhamer is looking while they talk about complot


again maybe some action to keep the audience interested in the story
if you see the lord of the ring, when the hobits are in the shire is ok, but if you quit the rest
helms deep, minas tirith, the black gate, Mines of Moria, the shire only is boring


well good luck, i think this cinematic map has future

Its a nice cinematic with detailed prologs and a interesting story. Would see more!

What i miss

I miss the beginning. The cinemtic starts with the prolog of the 2 arrived guys and the lord of the city. How they arrived? You should begin the video with this part first.

Also i miss music. Its just the normal human-ingame-music. No feeling sounds.

Finaly, you should edit the dialogs. I have see often "Blablabla.Blablabla", but it should be "Blablabla. Blablabla."(You know, what i mean?)

BTW, are all characters from the old wc-titles? Who is Khadgar?(Can just remember at Khadgars stone of healthy)

ok first learn wrc2 history.Secondly i cant add custom music to roc editor.When you see a roc map dont ask all the time for cutom staff.It just cant be done.

As for khadgar,he was a student in dalaran when the kirin tor counsil sended him to medivh's tower in azeroth.He became his apprentice and met Lothar and Garona.When Medivh gone mad,he,Lothar and Garona went back to his tower to kill him.Medivh was possesed by Sargera's spirit(how this happened is another story).During the battle,Medivh casted a spell that grew Khadgar older.From the age of 18 he became more that 35.When Medivh died,Stormwind fell too.Khadgar and Lothar(who was the new regent of Azeroth since King has died and the prince is still young) led the survivors to Azeroth.

To learn about Khadgar open wikipedia or play the Last Guardian campaign or read the same Novel.

I mean no custom imported Music. I mean existing sounds like "ArthasTheme" or "SadMusic". I mean, thats is possible with RoC-Editor or not?

When you see a roc map dont ask all the time for cutom staff.It just cant be done.

I forget it always thats you used RoC, but where you can see, when a other guy make a RoC-Map?

And sorry for the much "means"

-Greetz- The_New_Divide

 

[Theoden of KoMe]

well yes i can import from existing music.

 

[Arad MNK]

Well, the cinematic has Normal In-game music, and thats bad. No Imported models? Thats bad too. The Atmosphere: ONLY SPEECHES???????? There is like no action!
Orgrim Doomhammer Actually Leveled up When he was attacking the Shadow council! That's really embarrasing...

I suggest that you should pick some Music (Preferably Custom) and Import some Models.
I Highly Suggest Tauer's Models.
Bring some action to the Cinematic! Like When Lothar and Khadgar March through the land, Some Gnolls ambush them. Or make the Fight between Shadow council More action. Set Orgrim's Level to 10 so he wouldn't level up.
Voice act If you had time but that's not neccesary.
When Lothar arrives, Make the people Move through the Streets, to give some atmosphere.

I see No good in this Cinematic. I rate it 1/5.

-shouldn't the villager recognize the Lion of Stormwind on Uther's vestments?
-that Cho'gall kind of stepped on Gul'dan's head while he was down
-telling Cho'gall the plan right in front of Doomhammer?

3/5. Too bad it doesn't cover much but it's a really good start.
