I was angry initially at the movie getting leaked, but the review embargo took so long and I was getting so nervous that I caved and watched the first half hour (I bought a ticket too, for what it's worth).

There's a reason why it was only the first half hour. As someone who has grown incredibly weary of all the ridiculous fanboy criticisms of the series, it really pains me to say that what I saw of the movie was awful. I wanted to withhold judgment, but the animation style honestly is really bad, definitely worse than the show's. It completely lacked any of the energy and charm that I have come to expect from the series, and the characters are all written as broad, boring shells of themselves. Really broke my heart that I didn't have the resolve to continue; I'm pretty sure I actually would have felt embarrassed watching it alone in a theater. I wouldn't blame critics for getting their knives out for this (Actually, I'm kind of hoping they do now).

I do want more 2D animation and more diverse female representation in my movies, but not if it's going to look like this. I don't know what Thiessen and McCarthy were going for here, but they should've had more confidence in both the aesthetic and characterization qualities of the series.

Yeah no.  Don't agree with you at all.

How pathetic. Hopefully more positive reviews will outweigh those.

Concerning the Storm King

 

  Hide contents

He's like Tirek (lust for power), Sombra (unique magic) and Discord (fun personality hiding a cruel streak) combined and was a lot of fun. Kinda sad we didn't get more of him, but what we got was good and didn't overstay its welcome.

 

Already know about his screen time, so It doesn't bother me.  I was just wondering what VenoM thoughts were.

Just finished watching the movie, and here's my say about the MLP movie...

  Hide contents

It was nice seeing all (or not all of them since it was too quick and stuff) the characters from the show like Vinyl, Octavia, Applebloom, Derpy, Bulk Biceps, Starlight Glimmer, Sassy Saddles, Tree Hugger, Big Mac, and many more. I also dig the movie designs of the Princesses too, and I also dig the animation for this. And as for other places, I like that they added a town that looks more like a Trading/Black Market place. We also get to see other races as well like Hippogriffs, and also Parrots. The best scene for me would be Twilight snapping at her friends for failing to get the orb thing from Queen Novo. Well, we saw Twilight cry in past episodes, but in the movie, wow, that emotion, the facial expressions, that animation for me is awesome. What made me laugh so hard is one scene in the Mane 6, Capper, and the Pirates battle the Storm Guard, well, the scene were Fluttershy faces a Storm Guard, then the next scene we see FS having a conversation with a Storm Guard who is crying. I was like WTF?! XD

For me, the highlight for this movie would go to Tempest Shadow, I just love her character, a badass, and those facial expressions of hers. Wow, that made me a fan of her. Also, I dig her song too. For a badass pony, she sure has a cute name, and I don't mean Tempest Shadow, her other name which is Fizzlepop Berrytwist. XD

And that's that for my review for the MLP movie.

Glad you liked the movie.  How did you like the Storm KIng? I Heard he was a fun entertaining bad guy.

Here's a  pretty short positive review saying the movie is a great way to escape the bad stuff going on right now in the world.

Yeah, so? I don't like the songs, I was expecting a normal movie, not a musical. I really don't understand why they felt they needed to make it a musical instead of a "normal" movie. 

Uh, because MLP FIM is a musical show.  Don't understand why your so surprised they made the movie a musical.  Also I strongly disagree with you on Twi.  It made sense.

Yet another review from a non-fan. The URL says it all: http://watchplayread.com/my-little-pony-the-movie-is-surprisingly-fun/

The positive buzz for the this movie keeps going.

Aaaand it's on youtube.

5 minutes is a record hasbro, hurry up and knock it out.

I tried to report it.  Hopefully it will be taking down very soon.

Movie is down on Youtube.

Just now, Ryanmahaffe said:

Really worried about that tbh, 4chan could spread that like WIldfire.

Can't you notify Hasbro about it or something?

No, I will not leak the...leak.

Hopefully that doesn't affect the box office.

B...B...BUT JIMMY CAGE GAVE IT A 5/10

Ha... but year, here is a german review that gave it a good score as well

https://www.cineman.ch/movie/2017/MyLittlePonyTheMovie/review.html

Im assuming your joking about the jim cage review, seeing how its obvious that review is fake.

Yer another positive review.

These early smaller reviews are a pretty great sign.

Originally I was expecting a 70% RT but I think I will bump it up to 80-85%

Expecting IMDB to be really high because bronies will flood it.

Do reviews automatically get put into rotten tomatos or do the reviewers have to do it themselves?

Here's a review from a YouTuber who reviews MLP stuff, among other things, whom is probably one of the more realistic, if still positive reviews out there.

 

Not really a fan of this guy's reviews, as it seems he nitpicks a lot.  Not sure I agree with some stuff he said, but still another positive reception.

The intro serves it's purpose. It just shows Equestria is a really happy place, and I think that's all newcomers need to know.

How would you describe the action scenes.  Was there lots?  How was the action itself?

1 minute ago, Shimmering Sparkler said:

Surprisingly no. The movie didn't have any narration at all, it just opened with the logo and the soaring pegasi.

Thats strange.  I remember seeing in the art book that the writers wanted an intro that would explain the show to non fans.  Maybe its the scene with Twilight and the math equations relating to the sun and the moon.

No no it's fine! I'm here to answer questions lmao

Anyways, there is a scene involving the Mane 6 and Spike that hit me hard. It's towards the end, it's pretty heartbreaking.

Was there exposition by Twilight or someone about their world for non fans?

So it looks like advanced screenings of the movie have started, and from what I saw on Twitter, everyone who saw it loved the movie.

Going to mention this here in case anyone questions it. The videos above were not English language so a user named Artem ripped out the non English track and sound effects and replaced them with the music from the Soundtrack. That is why there is a slight sync problem with Pinkie's mouth animations, and why there are no sound effects. 

Also Twilight doesn't appear to be in a mood for any festivities with the pirates during Dash's song. Wonder if that is a plot point. 

Twilight might be thinking that her friends aren't taking this mission to save Equestria seriously, which could explain why she looks uninterested, and grumpy.

There is at least one youtube review from someone who has seen it early. And he really did not like it. I won't link it since it contains film spoilers. But it is not hard to find by searching youtube for the film reviews.

Thats actually a fake review.  The stuff he saids about the movie makes no sense, and doesn't add up to the info that the books say.  He also saids that all the songs are pop songs, which again is 100% wrong.  Not to mention, If he did see a press screening like he said he did, he should be under embargo until he released this review.  So yeah, pretty damn sure it jus a troll.

Does anyone have a link to "Off to see the World"?  I was able to find the others but not that one in particular.
