That video's ok, but if you want some amazing examples, check out
DiZ 's stuff. He completely turned around from a very basic amateur video maker to a legend in my eyes. His latest Naruto and Bleach vids were some of the best AMV's i've ever seen, and he's done some DBZ stuff too which is also worth a look.

what?!?! this is impossible, this is probably one of the best vids i made and when i come to esf forum its noobish? man i would faint to see the best video ever
There are some things you should keep in mind when making a video (in order of importance):
1. Sync - Probably the most important part, keeping the music and the video in time with each other. If it's a fast part of a song, use a piece of fast action or something else that shows speed. If it's a slow part, use something meaningful that contrasts the fast action. If it's got a heavy drumbeat you may want to time your cuts (cutting between scenes) with it.
2. Context - This applies to both the story you want your AMV to tell and the lyrics of the song itself. For example, I personally didn't see Majin Vegeta as a hero, more of an antagonist. He wanted to become evil so he could become "the perfect warrior, cold and ruthless". The fact that he sacrificed himself was more of a way of atoning for all his sins rather than grand heroic gesture (like Goku sacrificing himself against Cell so the Earth wouldn't blow up). This isn't limited just to the song in it's entirety, but the parts of each song too. If a lyric has significance to the part of the anime you're using, make sure they play alongside each other.
3. Effects - I don't believe these are nearly as essential as the other two but they help make the video stand out. They can be simple things like flashes (good for fast transitions) and fades (good for slow transitions), or full blown cinematic blurs and renders. Of course, this depends a lot on the software you're using, but even on Windows Movie Maker (which I also use) you have access to the basics, which is really all you need to make a decent AMV.
4. Time - Don't rush through it. The longer you spend on an AMV the better it'll turn out. It's not uncommon to spend an hour on less than a minute of footage, i've even spent more than that on a video before.
5. Quality - High resolution video and high bitrate audio always produce better results. This doesn't seem to be a problem for you.
Keep this in mind and i'm sure your next video will be much better recieved, it takes time, practice and feedback to improve. Good luck and don't give up.
