I just came back from seeing the movie and it was GREAT!!!
<3
I'm a little disappointed they DIDN’T have the exclusive MLP pop-corn tins yet......but then again...the Movie has JUST came out in Australia, so I can't really expect much
...and don't worry, this WON'T be the only time I'll be seeing this movie
I plan to see it again next Thursday and while I didn't get ANY merchandise, I'll be sure to get some into the lead-up to that week
Rather embarrassingly, I was the only brony there. The rest were little girls
Here are my thoughts:
SpoilerThe 3D graphics were AMAZING!!!
It was A LOT better than I expected and they obviously put in A LOT of effort into making this movie. I will admit, the build-up to the movie was a bit slow with all the songs at the beginning, but that's just me nit-picking
I dunno...the movie itself felt like a Season 1 / 2 episode. It certainly WASN'T as serious as some of the latest episodes and I liked how they went about that. It was cute, fun and entertaining :3
...and I'm SO glad that Starlight WASN'T a part of this movie. I mean, yes...she could've helped out, but...ehh, I'm getting sick and tired of seeing her...
I liked the pacing of the movie. The mane 6 were building a concert for Songbird Serenade only for The Storm King and his minions to come and crash the party
...
I dunno...I found Grubber to be kinda annoying. He takes the seriousness out of the situation
They manage to capture 3 of the 4 princesses. Derpy was the un-sung hero in this movie
She saved Twilight from being captured :')
That green Orb thing appears to have some kind of Dark Crystal Magic that turns you into stone if it makes contact
I was a little surprised they went SOUTH instead of North. I was SO sure they would head up North, but oh well :P...
I liked Capper and Captain Celeano. They helped the Mane 6 reach their destination and they held off the Storm King and his minions :3
(...and I LOVE their designs O_O HOLY SH*T!!!They should REALLY expand on this
...)
I was kinda surprised that Princess Skystar is BOTH a Hippogryph AND a Sea-Pony
heh...that was pretty interesting...
I don't mean to sound harsh when I say this, but Sea-questia was COMPLETELY pointless
The Mane 6 went with Princess Skystar, got turned into a bunch of Sea-Ponies, sang a song while Twilight was trying to steal the Pearl, Queen Novo gets mad and that's it. I thought Sea-questria was gonna play a MAJOR part in the movie, but it didn't...
If anything, this was just another way for Hasbro to sell more toys. What a pity D'XI will admit, Twilight was kinda harsh / rude to her friends at that point of the movie, only to be captured later by Tempest...
Overall, Tempest has gotta be one of my favourite characters from the movie
She had a REALLY tragic past, losing her horn to an Ursa Minor and she lost her friends as a result. I REALLY feel sorry for herHer friends judged her by the way she looked and that's why they left her. That's REALLY sad
...and of course, that's what turned her evil and I don't blame her...
I'm a little disappointed they didn't show much of the Storm King
He was more or less the guy that was lurking in the background, making Tempest do all the hard work for him...
In terms of his character, he's more like Discord than any-pony else
He enjoys being a villain and that scene where he was playing around with the sun and the moon reminds me of a scene from the simpsons where Homer ate too much Chilli
...and Tempest thought that the only way she could get her horn was to serve the Storm King, but she got betrayed just the same
...
At least she learn't the error of her ways and she saw what TRUE friendship was like
...
I liked how Twilight saved her from falling to her doom and how Tempest returned the favor by “sacrificing” herself in order to save the Mane 6
…
Heck, she even killed the Storm King!!!
I was REALLY surprised by that!!!
The only other time a villain has "died" in the show is King Sombra. That's it...If she wanted to re-pay the mane 6 for all the mistakes she made, that was it
Seriously, her reformation was A MILLION times better than Starlight =D now I REALLY wanna get some Tempest merch
...and that's effectively the whole movie
I'm telling you, this movie has got me back into the fandom
This was a great movie and I can't wait to see it again
I really hope Tempest makes an offical appearance in the show
<3
...and I love the name she had as a filly: Fizzlepop Berrytwist...heh...that's a REALLY cute name :'3
(Yeah, I’m sorry I didn’t post this earlier
I was a little ‘overwhelmed’ and I needed some time to type this up
)
…as for my favorite song from the movie
that would have to be “Off To See The World”
<3

If you ask me; the reason Starlight wasn't in this movie is because she was basically Tempest Shadow for it. It's just that T.S has it a bit more narratively clear what her status is then S.G. Both are basically outright social suicide. Jilted once and incapable of allowing themselves to grow. Sloth is the most dangerous sin, I daresay.
I'll have to shoot you off a Message once I'm feeling more awake and got the time to.
