They ought to incorporate racial leaders. The characters from the first two cinematics were rather unpersonable and didn't further the story at all. IMO, the cinematics should have been a nice premise as for why events are unfolding as such, not a montage of meaningless battles.

"Vanilla" Cinematic: Only speech was from the narrator, who vaguely stated the current state of Azeroth, not how it got to that state from the ending of TFT.

Burning Crusade Cinematic: Monologue by Illidan, completely failed to explain how or why the Dark Portal opened, or why we should be fighting him ("HE WAS CORRUPTED LOL"). It turned out Kael'thas was a more significant threat anyways.

The WotLK cinematic should explain yhy the Horde and Alliance are only now sending forces to Northrend, and portray the following:
-The "awakening" of Malygos
-What the mages of Dalaran have been doing all this time
-What the Lich King has been doing all this time

I really don't want to see another battle montage with "I AM THE ONE TRUE KING LOL" at the end. Put some substance into it.
