  1. Ok, so I just saw the MLP movie in theaters, and I sadly was not impressed. Felt like every other bad mainstream kids movie from start to finish. It was like an extended episode but with a very weak climax and resolution, and void of what makes the show so joyful, funny, and meaningful. The comedy was juvenile, the villains were weak, the backstories were mediocre, some supporting characters felt like a waste of time, and certain main pony characters had almost nonexistent roles. It didn't feel like MLP. It just felt like a montage of celebrities much of the time. Even the music was far from the caliber of quality found in the show. It wasn't magical or memorable, outside maybe 1 or 2 songs. The writing was just... off. It's obvious they were trying to appeal to all the mainstream hip and trendys. I really feel like corporate Hasbro had their hands all over this movie, because if it had been treated no differently than an episode of the show where the usual writers get their same level of free reign, I really think it would have been far better. Even Equestria Girls was more satisfying and true to the spirit of the show than this soulless attempt to "broaden" the show. Now, before I get hate for this, I want to be clear that I don't necessarily hate the movie. I just am highly disappointed in it. It did have a few high points, namely Tempest's character, strong characterization from Pinkie Pie, and the sea pony stuff in general, but it's very sad to see such an amazing show churn out something so mainstream and lifeless. I looked forward to seeing this for a long time, so it's disheartening that it ended up being so mediocre.

      Hmmmmm... haven't seen it yet myself, but maybe talk to Jeric.  He felt considerably differently, but he's so levelheaded and mature about things that maybe he'll be able to offer some perspectives you might not have considered in evaluating the movie without being a jerk about feeling differently about it than you do.  Granted he's gonna see it again to review it more closely, but as a pony movie he said he quite loved it, even if it wasn't perfect.
