    That was before it aired. After it aired, he tweeted this:

     

    Although, the recording of the special that I saw was still 44 minutes long without commercials. I think we're still gonna see an extended 50 min version of the special. 

    I guess he thought that the special was completely aired was because all of the scenes that he remembered were there. If that's the case, I guess we're gonna see extended version of some scenes which probably includes the ending (since that one I felt like it was incomplete).

  2. Had to make an account to make a review here. Because of the film release schedule of my country, I was able to watch it on October 4, two days before the release on US. I also downloaded the leak on that day, but I prefer to see the film on the big screen first. Lucky for me, there is only ONE mall theater in my area that had the movie.

    Anywho, I finally watched the movie and here are my thoughts about it.

    The presentation of the movie was really done well. I love the shots and the animation were great, though I don't like the animation style. I also love the songs with "Time to be Awesome" being my favorite. The voice acting with the regular actors and the guest stars were well done. The story is predictable and definitely something that I already saw before but with the great visuals, awesome score and songs and an epic presentation, this is a film that I didn't regret watching on the big screen.

    On unrelated note, the Hanazuki short was great. Visually, it looks the same as the TV series but you can tell that they improve the animation to make it suitable on the big screen. The story's nothing special but sweet.

    And now, my random comments on the movie.

    1. I find it weird that the Friendship Festival is a pony only event. I was expecting that they would invite Changelings, Dragons, Yaks or even Discord on the event. But nope, it's only ponies. Discord is only there in balloon form and credits.

    2. I'm actually glad not everypony is on the Friendship Festival. At least they didn't let the other areas pony-less.

    3. Glad that Shining Armor is not in the festival. At least they have security in the Crystal Empire. Can't say the same to Ponyville.

    4. Pinkie's crazy in this one. Like MAD crazy.

    5. I actually find it interesting that Pinkie is the one who called out Twilight's mistake on the Sea Kingdom.

    6. The other princesses didn't put up a fight. Cadance, I can excuse since it was unexpected to be petrified. But Celestia and Luna are just standing there for them to be petrified.

    7. Was it really necessary for Rainbow to do a Sonic Rainboom at the end of "Time to be Awesome"?

    8. It could be an act of desperation, but I found it unlike of Twilight to try to steal the pearl and use her friends like a tool for distraction.

    9. The ponies that I thought would be skeptical and cautious to strangers easily trusted a suspicious cat with just one song. 

    10. Why are there no royal guards in the festival? This was a public event, they could at least offer some sort of protection on any possible threat. 

    11. What would the movie be like if Starlight was part of the main cast?

    12. The other princesses are immobilized in this one, again.

    13. I like that the mane 6 and not just Twilight had a role in the climax.

    14. I find it funny how the castle was fixed at the end with magic like nothing happened. 

    15. Queen Novo and the other seaponies/hippogriffs didn't go after Princess Skystar and only appeared at the end. 

    16. I was expecting the background ponies to help the fight but alas, it didn't happened.

    17. It's gonna be weird seeing the next episode this Saturday back on Flash. This is what happens when the animation style of the movie doesn't match the show. It's an improvement over the show but the difference is striking.

    18. Why are the hippogriffs only now mentioned by Celestia but not on other times when Equestria was in trouble?

    19. No theme song. Just an orchestral version of it at the beginning.

    OK, some of this are basically nitpicking but I just wanna let my thoughts about the movie.

    All in all, 9/10 as a MLP story but 7/10 as an animated movie.
