It was overall a much better film that fixed the first one's problems.Įven Flash had a better balance of importance/appearances. Yeah, at the end she got her teenage army for an invasion of Equestria, but that alone is pretty silly considering teenagers aren't very threatening. I could feel the threat they posed to the world whereas Sunset always struck me as "She just wants to be popular". During the musical parts, the physics, lighting, and everything would change for that particular song. It wasn't simply musical segments like in the final episode of season 3. The visuals matched the music perfectly making the experience unique from anything I've seen on MLP before. The writers managed to make me excited for what I felt was a tournament of music and not just a high school musical competition. The musical elements are used creatively and don't feel tacked on for profit's sake (cuz with this film comes audio CDs, musical version toys of all the characters, etc.). It's engaging and interesting from beginning to end. Rainbow Rocks on the other hand, fixed all those problems. That to me makes the novelty wear off in subsequent viewings. He was set up to seem as an important side focus, but didn't feel that important.Īlso, too much of the beginning half was spent reuniting and reintroducing characters we know. I hate that he was set up to be important, then kinda not that important. "Oh look, the CMC are listening to their song which they performed in Ponyville" Or "Wow, RD did the awesome face but as a human".Īs a story itself, it had too many plot holes, a generic queen-bee mean-girl villain, and a love-interest that was very dull without exploration. I felt a lot of the humor came from that novelty. It's still RD, Pinkie Pie, AJ, Rarity, Twilight and Fluttershy doing what they do best. It's got a bunch of problems that can be considered crippling, but the characters make it worth it.
