I can't really tell if its good or not, but I'm gonna go with "not." of all the differenct action scences, you picked one where there were many different characters interacting with eachother and chose to animate 1person. You really can't tell if the animation is smooth, or if the animator has a certain style. It just looks really stiff.
however, as a fighting animation, it is lacking some realism. I mean, the animation is very good, but it seems more like the goblin is training (and not because he's fighting invisible enemies). He often handles the sword in a loose way, and when he throws his spear, it seems to me (as i'm not expert) it was pointing down when it shouldn't, his hand was supposed to be upper on the spear.
Anyway, I know how hard it is to make, and it very good, just some points you shouldconsider
I like the work you've done here. I think if you exaggerate the movements a bit more, it would be more believable. After all, he his a toon goblin. Great stuff here though! keep it up.
i see your going for a 300 theme here.. I would say push the poses more, exaggerate the movements. Also don't copy the video reference hand on hand, Push your poses more and have more energy in your transitions. A shot like this I would have huge anticipation, If you don't know what that is i would look at the 12 principles from the book "The Illusion of Life" by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. Chapter 3. Nice slow motion movements but make the poses feel more organic.
But you definitely need to power up the animation. Many times animators dont over exagerate poses and movements which makes the animation look very dull.... If you want to really catch someone's eye, just try to over extend the joints a bit more than originally thought.
Also- you should work on secondary motion (ex. wrist shaking, recoil when it hits something)..
But very good work caputuring the camera movement of the movie.... Might even be cool so put both videos side by side and or transparantly overlap them and compare.
Your timing is pretty accurate to the movie, you just need to push your poses some. Bend his spine more, thrust his arm out more. You do that and this will shine.

This needs a lot of work. This animation is really slow and stiff. It needs to be cleaned up a lot.

just a tip, if youre going for the slow motion look, dont then animate the eyes and the blinks as if it were real time, it really stands out

the animation had no power at all and it was pretty slow and stiff.
sometimes parts like the hand freaked out.
Good things: when he blocks with the shield, the power is good and the impact of the spear at the man was nice.
