Rainbow Rocks

[Pegasisterforever 3]

I loved the movie, and bought the soundtrack. I really love the 'Awesome as I wanna be!' Song. I annoyed my friends for days with it!

[Poptropica Player:) 15]

Equestria Girls was cool, and I think that they should make more episodes.  

[Pegasisterforever 3]

I thought it was good! Almost as good as Enders game of Star Trek. Oh, and Doctor Who! Mustn't forget that!

Derpy is now the wielder of the Element of Niceness. 

No, more like the element of ditzyderpyness.

I really enjoyed this movie. I was pretty excited for the whole Equestria Girls series when it first came out. The first movie was decent, but it was kind of disappointing. Rainbow Rocks had better writing, jokes, music, and was just overall better. I highly enjoyed it.

I loved Rainbow Rocks to the point that it's rivaling the show for me. Personally I nearly cried at the finale when the red streak from Sunset Shimmer goes with the rainbow and to this day still sends shivers up my spine. I guess I'm just a sucker for redemption stories.

[MLP-RAINBOW BOLT 21]

Rainbow rocks is a pretty good movie. I rate it 8/10 anyone else like it?

Also, the blank flank rank goes perfectly with my oc. Cause my oc has no cutie mark.

[Nataylor7 18]

Yes,I Certainly Watched it

It was Amazing and The Mane 6 Cafeteria Song Lost to the Dazzlings' Battle of the bands

My Favorite Dazzling is Adaigio. 

[Stampylone 1]

Rainbow rocks was ok I guess like the magical shapeshifting thing i never really liked and this movie makes me dislike it more and having vinyl scratches car be a transformer like wow

Like those are the few flaws i disliked but i did like somethings like how they act like normale teenagers by having a slumper party (ps to me is another flaw) And i like tacos and tuesday and i got that refence

[TwiWoo 15]

I think the first movie is still kinda better than Rainbow Rocks. There was too much singing!

[AndrewKnapp 121]

Totally awesome, especially the music battle! I will tell you that no other music competition in history gets as epic as this one! Especially the energy around the battle! There were also some of the best songs in the movie, like my favorite, Shake Your Tail! In all of the EG films, there is a lot of energy around each battle. When the Dazzlings' crystals get smashed, they suddenly become tone deaf! Now, Trixie was a little annoying in the movie, because she refused to admit that she lost, even though she did. She also didn't believe she lost in the short "Guitar Centered", even though Dash totally won with an awesome KO!

[Ed Lyons 105]

One of the only things it tough to me was I want to play the keytar or electric guitar and I want to start a band.

[lissierocks 9]

I personally thought that rainbow rocks was really good, the villans were amazing and had brilliant songs and I love seeing Sunset reformed eve though e didnt get to be in the band until the end.

The Dazzlings... THE BEST BAND

[Justin_Case001 4,889]

For me, this movie can be summed up as the feeling when you're not actually nauseated, but you kind of belch funny and some vomit comes up and you have to swallow it again.

 

 

More enjoyable than the first, but I still hate the whole human crossover idea.  I watched them out of sick curiosity.  It wasn't too bad, really, but what annoys me is just the lore, and how they connect it to Equestria.  Honestly, their answer for how Twilight traveled back to the human world was the worst, most ridiculous plot device I've ever seen.  Building a f*cking machine in ten minutes to permanently open the portal?!  Take the magic from the book and put it in the portal.  OMFG.  Are you kidding me?  And then having Pinkie explain it like that.  Ugh.  Lame.  But the absolute worst thing was the fact that Twilight took it upon herself to do all of this, without informing Celestia at all.  Did you notice that Sunset's letter was ADDRESSED TO CELESTIA?  But did Twilight forward it to Celestia or even tell her about it?  NO!  You know what that is?  That's a felony, that's what that is.  How could Twilight not even inform Celestia?  Traveling to the human world is not a game; it's dangerous and serious business, and should not be taken lightly, but apparently Twilight couldn't be bothered to even let Celestia know, let alone ask her permission or anything.  Spoken in Rainbow Dash's mocking impression tone of Twilight: "I'm just gonna build a machine to permanently open the portal, without your permission, and travel back and forth willy nilly, without your permission, because I'm the Princess of Friendship now and I can do whatever the f*ck I want."

 

One other thing that bothers is just the fact the Twilight has this duplicate set of friends, and appears to be balancing two universes.  I feel like every second she spends in the human world cheapens her real friendships.  Whenever she says, "My friends as Canterlot High", it just makes me wince.  Look at it this way: how would you feel if your best friend had another friend who was a doppelgänger of you, and your best friend just drops everything at a text to go hang out with your doppelgänger instead of you?  I know Twilight was saving the day again, but that's not the point.  It just feels altogether wrong for her to split her time and hang out with her "other" mane 5 friends.  I would have liked this franchise better if it had no connection to Equestria whatsoever.  That would have solved every problem for me.  It should have just been an unaffiliated, parallel universe, to answer the question, "what would the mane 6 be like in our world"?  Moreover, I think it would have been better with no literal magic whatsoever.  Just a hypothetical about what the mane 6 characters would be like in our world, with no magic.  That would have been more interesting to me.  Thank f*ckin Celestia that they keep the movies separate and don't reference EG on the show.

 

Also, what would have knocked this movie out of the park is if they had performed City Hall by Tenacious D for the battle.  And while practicing, Rainbow should have written the "One Note Song."  And she should have done Inward Singing, too.  Basically, just make the whole movie a parody of Tenacious D.

The fun part about the equestria girls universe is that there is no rascism

[Midnight Seashell 206]

I'm so curious as to what happened to the dazzlings after they were defeated and why didn't Twilight take them back to Equestria?

Rainbow Rocks Timeline

 

I've made this timeline based on the dialog spoken throughout the film. Let's see how well I sum up the events of the film.

 

Tuesday (as revealed by Sonata Dusk)

• The CHS Student Body work on posters for the upcoming Musical Showcase
• The Rainbooms remind Sunset they're on her side as they practice playing with "Better than Ever"
• Flash Sentry comes in to compliment their singing and asks if Twilight's going to show up
• Sunset gives a tour to 3 new students, mentioning the Musical Showcase
• Unbeknownst to our heroes, the new students called the Dazzlings used their Siren Spell to convince the innocent fund-raising Musical Showcase into a competitive Battle of the Battles.
• The Dazzlings show up at lunch to plant the seeds of distrust among the student body singing, "Let's Have a Battle(of the Bands)!"
• The Rainbooms realize too late that everyone but them are under the new girls' dark magic.
• Twilight is called
• Catch-up in Cafe
• "Friendship is Magic" Failure in Gym
• Coming up with counter-spell strategy
• Twilight becomes Rainbooms' newest member
• Slumber Party at Pinkie's
• Twilight and Sunset bonding moment at Midnight (Best scene in the whole film for me)   
• Maud feeds Boulder  

 

Wednesday: Qualifying Round

• Practice bad counter-spell song in Applejack's barn
• Realizing they should could compete in the BotB for real, staying alive until the Finals for the counter-spell to be played!
• Checks in at the battle of the bands
• Despite the characters saying first round, I see this day's round as the qualifying round that determine how the tournament chart and the bands will first face off!

Qualifying Round The bands seen and mentioned during this round are:

• Snips and Snails' Rap
• Rainbooms are sabatoged as they sing, "Shake Your Tail"
• Derpy
• Meanwhile Twilight gets chewed out by an uncharacteristly selfish Flash Sentry.
• Trixie and the Illusions (while we see Sunset confront the Dazzlings in a dark hallway)
• Dazzlings start singing "Under Our Spell" (Montage cover next several days)

 

Thursday

Round 1: (16 bands go onstage, 8 move on)

• Trixie and the Illusions beat the unnamed Rockers band.
• Lyra and Bon Bon beat  the Unnamed Techies Band
• Bulk Biceps beats Snips and Snails (Seen in montage)
• Rainbooms beat Octavia (Seen in montage)
• Photo Finish beats "The Diamond Dog Boys"
• Dazzlings beat the Dramas
• Flash Sentry beat the Eco-Teens (Seen in montage)
• Crusaders beat Derpy

 

Friday

Round 2 of the Battle of Bands (8 bands go onstage, 4 move on)

• Trixie beat Lyra and Bon Bon (seen in montage)
• The Rainbooms beat Bulk Biceps  
• The Dazzlings beat Photo Finish and the Snapshots 
• Flash Sentry beat the Crusaders (Crusaders appear during montage after the above so S2A they were facing Flash's band.)

 

Saturday (Semi-Finals and Finals)

As the Rainbooms are about to go on after Trixie, they mention that the Finals are that night. And considering this was supposed to be a fund-raising Musical Showcase that Sunset said was going to be "this weekend", the day of the Showcase became the day of the Semi-Finals and Finals

 

Saturday Morning-Afternoon: Semi-Finals

• Dazzlings beat Flash Sentry (as shown right after Under Our Spell montage)
• Trixie plays "Tricks up my Sleeve"
• Rainbooms play "Awesome as I Want to Be" (Unfinished due to Sunset's depresant jump to hide the Ponying-Up)
• Due to the Dazzlings' manipulations, The Principals declared the Rainbooms the winners to move on.
• The Dazzlings manipulate Trixie to trap the Rainbooms.

 

Saturday Night: Final

As Trixie plays "Tricks up My Sleeve", attentive listeners can heard the whole song play in the background as we see the Rainbooms finally break down! (The Song on the soundtrack stops at the lines "I wish I'd never asked any of you to be in my band" "I wish I'd never argeed to be in it!" "Me Niether!"; The music briefly changes to dramatic as the Rainboom's negativity finally comes out, ready to restore the Siren's full power, to Sunset's horror; The song rewinds slightly and fades back in on the last 20 seconds as Trixie finishes)

 

And Finally, the TRUE Battle of the Bands plays out with The Rainbooms(Sunset included) vs. The Dazzlings. Don't need to go into detail about that, right?

 

Between Flash Sentry and Trixie, who both made it to the Semi-finals (and therefore must have been affected by the Dazzlings' Hate Plague the most) Flash > Trixie when it comes to giving thanks. Seriously, Trixie didn't even say "Thanks for saving us, Rainbooms" and just acts like the winner of a Battle of the Bands that wasn't supposed to be competitve in the first place.     But I disgress.

 

As Rainbow offers Sunset a spot with Fluttershy on Back-up vocals, Sunset shows off her Guitar skills. All but Twilight were surprised to see such skill. Where did that come from? Twilight can easily guessed, considering the boy that had been in both Sunset and Twilight's "crush life"     Considering Flash was onstage thanking the Rainbooms a moment ago, it's easy to imagine his off-screen reaction: At first, he's as surprised as the rest of them, but then silently thinks with a smile, Even after I broke up with you, you've been practicing what I taught you? Sunset, I'm so proud of you and not just for saving us!

All this ends with the Equestria Girls group-hugging Sunset 

 

 

Sunday

• Princess Twilight returns home.
• Unlike last time, when the portal would be closed for a long time, it stays open for when Twilight needs to.
• After that, Sunset has been redeemed in the eyes of the CHS student body.
• Little did they know that someone with a familiar face and name was recording the strange readings coming from the school: "No doubt about it, Spike. There's definitely something strange going on at that school" *Bark, bark*

Well, there you have it! Did I sum it all up well?   

[cmarston1 5,959]

I love this movie so much.

It is my favorite of the EQG series and one of my favorite FIM episodes.

The animation is gorgeous, the music is some of my favorites from Daniel Ingram, Sunset Shimmer became one of my favorite characters, and the climax was amazing.

[IsraelYabuki 446]

This movie was quite entertaining. Although when I saw it on Bronies react, they showed too much hate toward Flash. Seriously, what's their problem, what's Flash ever done to them? He's a nice guy even though he's only animated.

[Shadow lance 45]

i really like it, altho i love anything with the battle of the bands type idea like guitar hero, i like how thy have their battle at the end.

[Flame_Diamond 11]

I personally liked the songs they made for the movie. "Awesome as I wanna be" is my favorite one.
