Legend Of Everfree

[BlinkZ 1,151]

It's a shame human Zecora wasn't shown as a camp counselor or camp doctor since her pony counter part lives in the everfree.

 

Also why are there seven EoH in the human world but six in Equestria?And once again the EoH are used for evil but only in the human world.And why is it only the two principals didn't bring a few more teachers?

 

And l find it strange that only the humane 7 got magical abilities but the other campers stayed unaffected.Also the Filthy Rich and Gaia Everfree subplot didn't really go anywhere but it's possible Gaia is still out there somewhere.

Still makes me wonder if Starswirlds Mirror was as stable as he thought it was. i mean sure it the second generation of it but I guess the magic leaking flaw was still there.  All this is starswirlds fault.

[Ganondorf8 11,298]

can i just say OMFG what the buck is up with pinkies mind  like the writers need to be praised for that

 

I see that scene as the animators wanting to have a little fun and go absolutely crazy with it.

[wings925 1]

Songs for a little too Campy for me, but that might have been the vibe Daniel was going for.

[Applejacket 185]

Hasbro killed MLP.

 

Things I noticed:

 

They have an AJ wet mane fetish

Derpy spoke dammit

Derpy and snowflake shipping queue

Timber x Twi at the end way to nsfw for kids

Flash is so trying to pick up Sunset

Holy balls, they might as well rename the film RariJack ahoy because there was way too much in there

Daniel Ingram is getting better at writing songs

Sunset is not an alicorn!

Applejack killed it in all the songs. All I heard was her.

Everybody's hair suddenly got longer at the end

Gaia Everfree killed loads of OCs (including mine)

Pinkie and Fluttershy'a powers SUCK

I reckon Starlight will make the Pony Mane 7 now that Sunset has made it into the human Mane 7

This was a cap movie and there's going to be a sequel. Hence the last bit.

Rainbow Dash was defiantly flirting for half of that film

 

I'm really not impressed by this one.

MAKE THE BEST WEEK OF CAMP GREAT AGAIN !

[ponyvangelist 732]

Obviously, opinions vary, but I loved it.   

[Flash Freeze 67]

To be honest with everypony, I found this movie to be very enjoyable. When you look at the past couple movies, it feels like they're allowing themselves to progress little by little and open up that creative bubble a bit. Just like in any movie, it can have its meh moments but overall i really liked this movie. Now I want to see what happens when the portal opens.

Good evening everypony, and welcome back to another edition of "Batbrony Reviews"! Tonight, I'm reviewing the latest installment of "Equestria Girls," a series which I originally loathed (at least in concept) but has steadily grown on me in its own way since it first came out. That's obviously not to say that the series as a whole is perfect, but it has certainly earned its place in the MLP-verse and I no longer mind seeing new installments added to it, if only for the things which it tends to do REALLY right, even if other elements are a bit cliche or predictable at this point. Without further ado, let's begin, this is "My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Legend of Everfree"!!!

 

So interestingly this is the first installment of the series which, aside from Sunset Shimmer (and that kind of doesn't count since she's been in the human world for years by now), did not involve any character from Equestria itself, namely Twilight Sparkle (our Twilight, not the Human Twilight). I actually liked this decision for the most part since it further allowed more attention to be given to the characters in this particular setting. If you're going to have the alternate universe setting, might as well focus on IT and the characters who actually inhabit it rather than a fish-out-of-water plotline like the first film did (and really, that would only work for the first film since Twilight would increasingly not be surprised by the setting itself as she goes there more and more). Another element about the setting which I really liked was the summer camp setting. Now granted, we've seen this type of setting a TON in cartoons before, and like in all of those the camp is usually ridiculous "nice" looking and not dirty at all by real-world standards, but cartoon logic so whatever, that doesn't bother me. Really, I felt that the writers took advantage of this setting as much as they possibly could, namely in how the story felt a little smaller than "Friendship Games" did. A huge problem I had with "Friendship Games" was that there were simply too many characters involved to the point that both the HuMane 6 (besides Human Twilight) and their Crystal Prep Academy counterparts got very limited screentime (although the HuMane 6 did fare better there than in "Rainbow Rocks"). This setting, however, had literally only a busload of students and a couple of camp counselors, and you could tell that not all of Canterlot High's student body was there. The most notable absence was the human CMC, but really I didn't mind this one bit. Such a small pool of characters allowed for more time to be devoted to a smaller cast overall, even for little things like funny gags. Heck, human Derpy even had a line for once, that was awesome! But the HuMane 6 fared pretty well here too and it wasn't JUST the Twilight and Sunset show, even if those two were still obviously the main characters. Besides that, I thought that for a summer camp-storyline, the writers did as best they could; these never for amazing storylines, but if they're clearly just entertaining, one-time adventures and treated as such, they're fun enough at their best.

 

Building off of that point, the story was once again somewhat predictable and frustrating in its predictableness. Most frustrating of all is that now it appears they're trying to make Human Twilight the main character of this series, and after "Rainbow Rocks," that just feels like a disservice to Sunset Shimmer. I was never opposed to a Human Twilight showing up, but why does the spotlight have to be on her? Oh sure, you could argue they were both main characters, but Sunset to me was clearly a deuteragonist to Twilight's protagonist. Sunset didn't have a problem, she was there to give advice and pep talks to Twilight, and while I like seeing how far she's come since the first film, I just wish she were the main focus still. I don't know who's making these choices on the writing for these, but I don't like them. It's not even that I don't sympathize with the problem that Twilight was facing, I actually really liked the idea of her fearing that Midnight Sparkle was a part of her still (the segments kind of reminded me of some of what Luna went through with the Tantabus), but I guess the reason it still feels like a disservice to Sunset is because, technically, Human Twilight is a character we've only known for two films now. She may have some characteristics similar to our Twilight, but she's a tad bit more shy (she sometimes has a Coco Pommel vibe to her), and sometimes has almost a Mary Sue vibe to her. Her nerdiness wasn't even able to be utilized that much here since, well, they were in the woods, not too many opportunities for a character like that to nerd out in a summer camp setting (which probably explains the many, many, MANY nerd jokes between her and Timber Spruce). Bottom line is I just really don't care for Human Twilight being the focus of these films; it felt after "Rainbow Rocks" (still the best of these films by a long shot) that the main character was going to become Sunset Shimmer and focus would be on her growing more and more, possibly to a point that she might one day, even if only temporarily, go back to Equestria. Now I really don't know what the direction's supposed to be. Maybe it'll turn back to Sunset after having Twilight get over some of her initial insecurities which we saw here, but I don't know.

 

Speaking of Sunset, she was great, and every time she was onscreen only made me lament them making Twilight the main character even more. She's matured so much and really seems to be the leading voice among the HuMane 6 at this point, and there's an excitable inquisitiveness about her that I love to watch as well. When she realized there might be magic at the camp, she jumped right into to figuring out what was up in such an upbeat way, not very much like pony Twilight's bookish way of going about things; there's an energy to the way Sunset tries to figure out if Equestrian magic is affecting a place and she seems to always hope it might be used for good in some way. In many ways, we're probably getting to see what type of a student she was at her best under Celestia, and it's nice that she's not just a carbon copy of Twilight in that respect. You can see her old ambition there, except now of course it's being channeled for good. She also had the best solo of the movie which didn't hurt, and even opened up a few new character threads which, surprisingly for me, I'd like to see explored more in the future (more on that later). But yeah, while I loved everything from Sunset here, her appearance still left me disappointed in that it was clear we weren't supposed to think of her as the main character, but rather the deuteragonist. I can only hope that changes in future installments and that, like in "Rainbow Rocks," ol' Bacon Hair becomes the focus of the EQG-verse again.

 

 

Goodness, that's a saucy look for a kid's movie!  Er... not that I'm complaining... oh don't look at me like that, you know you're not complaining either!!!

 

As I said earlier, the HuMane 6 had one of their better outings, similar to "Friendship Games." They weren't just an afterthought, but they still felt like cliche versions of their Equestrian counterparts. Like, it always seemed like all of them (except maybe Applejack who didn't say one thing about apples) had to get in a line that identified their most superficial character trait. Rarity in particular couldn't shut up about fashion in this one, and while I love Rarity (both the pony and human ones) it just felt forced here, probably because of the camp setting and this just not being a natural place for the types of things she was getting up to, like all-out fashion shows (I feel like even pony Rarity would call that a bit much and simply try to have some R&R while at summer camp). Now don't misunderstand, they were still plenty fun to watch and had some delightful gags (AJ and Rarity had some great chemistry as usual, Fluttershy had some funny gags with animals, and Pinkie had the best gag of the movie when Sunset saw what was going on in her mind), but again, as long as they're never the focus of these things, they'll probably just always come off as cardboard cutouts of their Equestrian versions. That's the nature of these movies, not much time for character growth in an ensemble like that except for the most basic of things. Still, no real harm, no real foul.

 

 

Well, we always wondered, and now we know, for better or worse, just what she's thinking...

 

As far as supporting characters go, let's start with both old supporting characters and background characters just to make things simpler. I thought Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were a lot of fun to see (although sadly enough Celestia here had probably more lines, screen time, and an impact on events than Celestia in the show did in all of Season 6), and their bit about the sundial they helped make was especially funny. The background characters, given that there were far fewer than usual in these movies, made the most of their screen time, especially Bulk Biceps and Derpy who were just all over the place! And now let's get to the big surprise of this thing for me: Flash Sentry. Those of you who have read my reviews before on EQG know I hate this motherbucker with a passion, not because he's some "waifu-stealer," but because he's been a waste-of-space as a character who's contributed nothing at all to this series or justified his existence.

 

Well... I can't believe I'm saying this, but for the first time ever, I... didn't mind Flash. Don't get me wrong, he still didn't actually do much in the story itself, but he DID actually feel like a real character for once. Firstly, SOMEBODY at DHX clearly gave the writers on EQG this message:

 

 

 

 

Yes, I am pretty sure that they are officially killing off FlashLight from EQG and THANK THE LORD!!! Besides the fact that, as Sunset pointed out, Flash and Twilight really won't see each other most of the time, it always had a creepy vibe to it. Like, Flash is aware that this is someone who is a pony most of the time, and he still had the hots for her... and look, I know that SunFlash or whatever you call their ship might happen, but that's different, especially if Sunset chooses to live out her days in the human world. Anyways, the fact that we can lay that nonsense-ship to rest for good made me VERY happy and showed that DHX realized there really wasn't anything they could do with this ship besides having those two blush like idiots for the 5 minutes they were around each other, cause that's such a "fulfilling" relationship. The other thing that worked was really the two conversations Flash had with Sunset. They were actually two of the best moments in the whole film (mostly because so much focus was on Sunset in them), but it was really the first time that Flash came off as an actual character and not some "laid-back, cool highschooler" stereotype like he always has. The fact that he didn't have his stupid jacket on or a guitar anywhere in sight probably helped, but yeah, Flash was surprisingly subdued and shared as much with Sunset, and even seemed lonely realizing that Twilight and him probably wouldn't work out and he had no real reason to try to do the same with HuMan Twilight. I actually find myself interested if those two (Sunset and Flash) will eventually become a thing again, and just the fact that he showed renewed interest in her was an oddly fascinating character trait. Sunset didn't show much interest here, but this is clearly probably not the last we've seen of these two, and dear Lord, if he can actually become a real character for once, more and more, then ship away, DHX, ship away!!!

 

Speaking of ships, let's get into the two new characters, Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Day. Timber Spruce... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That's really all I have to say. My nickname for him is "Diet Flash" because really, he came off as the diet version of Flash in the first three films, less infuriating, but also less helpful. Aside from some exposition he really didn't do anything, and I was NOT feeling that ship between him and Twilight. Sure they had a cute moment here and there but I couldn't figure out the guy's age and that kinda freaked me out; he struck me as more of a college age guy than high school (I mean come on, he's running a business with his sister WITHOUT their... presumably dead parents, I suppose), and if that's the case, that's kinda creepy. Besides that, yeah, he just left me feeling nothing but "mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" every time he was onscreen, so I really have no care for this ship if it becomes a thing.

 

 

BEHOLD! Diet Flash Sentry!!!

 

Gloriosa Day was... the second best villain of this series, but that's not saying much. It's not hard to beat out Principal Cinch (easily the worst MLP villain ever, whose most evil, dangerous actions were a result of stupidity and nothing else) and EQG 1 Sunset Shimmer (whose plan to take over Equestria was still laughably bad), and really all Gloriosa was was a well-intentioned villain who got carried away by a power she couldn't control (all too similar to what happened to Human Twilight in "Friendship Games"). She only showed up for about 10 minutes and was laughably easy to beat at the end, plus her defeat could only be so satisfying given that she was sympathetic to begin with, unlike the deliciously, unapologetically evil Dazzlings whom you couldn't wait to see get their comeuppance. Again, she was harmless enough as a villain and her situation was sympathetic (although I wasn't crazy about Human Filthy Rich being a douche nozzle), but more than anything she just kind of underwhelmed, plus she had some pretty bad lines which were delivered somewhat forcefully at times. I DID kind of love the build-up to her going full villain, how she was just increasingly driving herself crazy by telling everyone with a smile on her face "I got this!" There were some hilarious moments along the way where she just looked ready to snap any moment and really that was her best character trait, the "older sibling who's burdened herself with too many responsibilities to handle alone" character arc. Overall, while she was barely OK as a villain, as a character overall she was perfectly fine (not that I expect to see more of her).

 

 

Dear Lord, she looks like a Captain Planet villain!

 

Some things came off as sheer nonsense, like the Gaia Everfree red-herring. Granted, it added an air of mystery to events, BUT the payoff when we learned what was really going on was more underwhelming than the red herring itself. It was just some Equestrian crystals with magic in them, nothing more, and honestly if some being called Gaia Everfree had been causing magical disruptions instead, that would've been more interesting. Granted it'll be interesting seeing in the future what the magical rift back at Canterlot High causes, but for this movie alone, the payoff to the mystery set up at the start just didn't really deliver. What DID deliver was the best running gag of the movie, the dock. HOLY CRAP, these poor bastards trying to fix this dock! No less than three times (if not more) did they try to fix this dock, and even with the help of magic, every time they did inevitably that bucker got destroyed! It was amazing, and the film went out on the perfect after-credits scene in which, once more, the dock got blown up, by Pinkie Pie no less! Actually that's probably my favorite after-credits scene of these movies yet, no set-up for the next one, just this hilarious scene that won't get brought up again. It kinda reminded me of the schwarma scene in Avengers in its randomness. Needless to say, that's how you do a running gag, and boy oh boy was it funny. Besides that, there was plenty of other funny bits, though they were just a tad limited by their setting in the range of jokes they could make.

 

Musically this one was on oddball. It's probably the least or second least impressive of the EQG movies so far overall (only six songs and none of them except two particularly memorable), BUT strangely enough the best song of the movie was the opening credits one! I can't recall the last time that happened in ANYTHING I watched! "Legend of the Everfree (Intro)" is this incredibly fun, bouncy, country tune with a great beat and backed up by great ensemble vocals, piano, and what I believe was a banjo. It doesn't really slow down at any point (unusual given that intro songs in these films usually have far slower tempos), the lyrics don't even have much to do with the plot itself, and it's not even something the characters themselves are singing in the film, but it's just a great song with a great intro sequence and, boy oh boy, let me tell you, IT WILL GET STUCK IN YOUR HEAD AND YOU WILL BE HUMMING IT FOR HOURS!!!

 

 

 

 

Of course the one down-side of the best song being your intro song is that none of the others after that point will be as good, and yeah, most of the others weren't that memorable besides this sweet solo from Sunset.

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously, can she sing more? Please??? WHY AREN'T YOU THE MAIN CHARACTER OF THIS!?!??!

 

 

And yeah, that's nice and all, and really nicely highlights what a leader she's become to these girls, but clearly nothing here really compares to the amazingness of "Rainbow Rocks" soundtrack overall (even if, again, that's the best intro song for any of these movies I've ever heard). But at the same time, it didn't ever feel like Daniel Ingram really NEEDED to throw in his best songs ever into this or as many as he could, so overall, even though most of the songs are just ho-hum and not that memorable, I can't really complain. The soundtrack's pretty much just what the movie needed, nothing more, nothing less.

 

The animation continues to get nicer and nicer for these films, and I was particularly impressed with their handling of the outdoor environments since those are something we see increasingly less in the show itself (seriously, I can't recall the last time we had an episode largely set in the Everfree Forest). It was a pretty basic summer camp setting, but it worked, and some of the background characters were a ton of fun to watch. The gawdy outfits that we've come to expect in these climaxes (along with the by-now standard "semi-horse" transformations) were just... mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  I guess Sunset's last dress was pretty nice, but I've really never cared for these outfits and they seem to be purely there just to sell new doll-lines, and they're just so sparkly and blah, but whatever. It even feels at this point like the animators themselves are phoning in some of these designs just to give Hasbro something to put on new dolls, because they are SO glittery it's ridiculous!  Now the ones at the concert were a bit nicer (like the aforementioned last dress Sunset wore), but the big-battle climax ones, not so much, those were a bit much.

 

 

OK, I have to admit, this one I LOVED!!!  Goodness me, can AJ please wear that in every scene of EQG from now on?  Pretty please???

 

All in all, this is a pretty standard outing for the EQG-verse at this point. My hope remains that at some point a new film here might reach the same level of awesome that "Rainbow Rocks," did, ideally by shifting focus back to Sunset Shimmer as the main character and having a strong villain again like the Dazzlings, but I can't say whether or not that will happen at any point. But for this, it is what it is; it was entertaining enough, didn't have anything infuriating in it (and honestly was better than "Friendship Games"), and is a fun sit for 75 minutes. Hardly the pinnacle of achievement for DHX, but not something that'll make you slam your head against the wall, and I am still thoroughly impressed that for the first time ever I actually kind of like Flash Sentry since he seemed to be an actual character for once. If you haven't checked "Legend of Everfree" out yet, I'd definitely recommend it if you have an hour and a half to kill some afternoon, it's a fun, lazy sit, nothing more, nothing less. That's all I got for you everypony, until next time, this is Batbrony signing off! I'm off!!! *cue dramatic exit*

 

P.S. As a bonus, enjoy the amazing "Legend of Everfree Bloopers"

 

 

Sunset: "Did... did Pinkie just ask me out???"

[Carolina 212]

Thought it was, overall, pretty good! Certainly not better than Rainbow Rocks, but at least on par with Friendship Games and far, far better than the first one.

 

One kind of silly thing that bothered me right off the bat, though, was not understanding the time frame. Why are they going to camp during the school year with their principal and vice principal? Is it an "outdoor school" type of scenario? Did the whole school go? And is this in the Spring or Fall? Actually, when do any of the EG movies take place in the school year?  The first one was in the Spring (since: prom), but were the rest during the next year? I know it doesn't matter, but it did strike me as kind of odd.

 

I know I'm in the minority, here, but I kind of prefer Sci-Twi to Equestria Twilight (at least in these movies). For one thing, having Sunset as the only Equestrian native gives her something unique to do and for another, IDK, I just enjoy the more timid/socially inept aspects of her character.  

 

Also love how the Mane 5 really got to shine here and how even though both Sunset and Sci-Twi are new to the group, it feels like an integrated group of friends (unlike, say, the Mane 5 with Starlight Glimmer). Also, it seemed to me that Applejack and Rarity both got quite a bit of nice screen time, which is awesome as they are two of my favorites.  And good to see the human characters getting similar powers to their pony counterparts (RD with speed, AJ with earth pony strength, Rarity with gem magic, etc...etc...) Kind of feel like Pinkie Pie got the short end of the stick, power-wise, though. The new looks were cool - pretty, I guess: shrug. Nothing too special.

 

And lastly, I rather liked Timber but only for the ridiculous reason that his name reminds me of this old song called "Timber, I'm Falling in Love." I've always associated the word "timber" with getting a sudden crush on someone out of nowhere, so I thought it was funny that Timber was "timber" for Twilight.

[heavens-champion 1,905]

It was good. A shame the Cutie Mark Crusaders weren't there.

[Frostgage 7,975]

Finally got around to watching this. It was great but GRRR THAT SMUG GREEN-HAIRED WAIFU THIEF

[Rikifive 24,182]

To be honest I was worried, but thankfully it wasn't a bad movie!

 

Instead of making a wall of text, I'll just type out few things~

 

+

I really liked their new adventures and new interesting environment etc. ~ it was much more interesting than the previous movie, Friendship Games. 

 

Songs were really great. I admit many of them got stuck in my head.

 

Exploring new areas and just seeing our lovely characters spending time together was great itself, even better than the whole action-time.  :-P

 

+/-

I'm kinda sorry for Flash... That new 'ship' is sliiiightly weird. It's kinda hard to imagine them being together and stuff is getting complicated. On the other hoof, Flash and Sunset get that spark again, so... Let's see what happens next, though I preferred Flash being around Twilight... Or rather Twilight bumping into Flash. 

 

-

Their Superpowers. Some Equestrian Magic in 1st and 2nd movie wasn't bad. Everything was pretty legit ~ some ponifying, rainbows, surprised students etc.. In 3rd movie it was now too much and here, in LoE science has gone too far. Everything was totally irrational, especially Rarity's funny abilities. In the end it turned into 'Power Rangers' except they didn't get a chance to build a 'Megazord' yet. In the next movie they'll be probably floating all over the place and blowing things up.  Absolutely normal. 

 

Ending, that could be tagged as cliche ~ from previous movies - like this: 

- I'm powerful, I want moaarrrr poweerrrr >:3

- Wait, that's wrong, I know what you feel now, but it's bad! D:

- I have everything under control muahahahaha :DDDDDD

- *some destruction GASP*

- *some talking GASP*

- *morphin' time EPIC GASP*

- *rainbows all over the place WOAH*

- *rip 'villain' SHOCKED!*

- But... But I didn't know there were other ways, I'm sorry! D':

- No worries, let us help you :3

- I cri evritiem Happy Ending :') )

 

~but well, it wasn't that bad. I don't mind reusing that scheme as long as the movie itself is enjoyable ~ I can't really complain there. I'm still more worried about their new superpowers.

 

---

Generally I loved the movie, it was a really fun adventure! :3

[DEAD_ACCNT 46]

LoE was better than Friendship Games.

[GoddessRarity 48]

I found myself thoroughly enjoying this movie. While all of the others had strengths and weaknesses, this one felt like the first definitive  Equestria Girls movies.

 

 

 

 Oh, and these designs make my life complete.

[Tropico 226]

i really loved this movie. maybe its too short to me, like tv show pilot and not a movie like someone said here, but its still awesome♥♥ all the songs are by far all my favourite from all the EG movies. i listen to them all a lot.

 

 

and those powers they have now >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> every ponified powers they had before. it feels more fitting to have this magic in that world instead the pony magic with pony ears and so.

I love how slowly the EG franchise is turning into a magical girl show. 

about the end:

 

knowing there's more magic objects and magic out there, its a good start premise to start a tv-show instead movies. a one like sailor moon

 

 

i find the twilight + timber ship nice and cute. with flash it would be sooo awkward.

plus with this ship i hope i can see timber more often 

 

i like that sunset said to flash to let pony twilight go. and i really like that sunset x flash obvious ship. BUT i would wait for the next movie/special to start hinting to it, and dont start doing it in this movie. it just feels to early if at the start of the movie flash still had twilight in mind.

 

i just discovered they made official bloopers and it's so cute

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,006]

This in my opinion, was easily the best Equestria Girls movie to be released thus far. For the first time in these movies, everyone felt natural and secure at the roles that they were playing. The morale was simple but believable, the story was well paced and had a lot of different elements to it which each contributed to the movie in some fashion, it was nice to see a brand new setting taking center-stage in this one as opposed to the same high-school again, and the main 6 felt really in line with their initial main series counterparts.

 

I was also really impressed with the character which they had transformed Sunset Shimmer into in this movie. She was directly involved with the main plot and had a very identifiable personality when compared to the rest of the main cast, and in my opinion has become the character to look forward to seeing when it comes to these movies. And to all the Twilight and Timber haters out there, Timber has infinitely more personality then the paper-thin and bland Flash Sentry and his relationship with Twilight in this movie actually felt very un-forced and natural in comparison to Twilight and Flash's relationship. The film had a new villain which I do like to see in this franchise, and I was impressed by how quickly they made her personality both memorable and likeable. The new natural environments looked great and really set a tone that the movie's predecessors could not. And the lack of ties with the main series shows that, while still being faithful to the original material and very much keeping the spirit and feel to it, it could also stand on it's own which is something that the other movies failed to do in some aspects.

 

 

Overall this is a great movie. It takes older concepts from what came before it and refines them very well, while also bringing plenty of new elements, characters, locations to the scene to make it still seem very fresh. It knows what it wants to be and where it wants to go a great deal better then the past entries in this series. Everything just came together really nicely in this one. If you're a fan of MLP FIM or even just Equestria Girls in general, you should watch it if you already haven't.

 

8.5/10  

[Lambdadelta 1,462]

LOE is the worst movie of all EQG movies, i hated it so much, but i spilled all of my hates elsewhere and i dont want to remind myself how much i hate it, so i will talk about the positives i had for this movie...

 

- Two last songs are really good.

- "I got this!" line is getting more funny whenever i said it.

- Flash is an actual character for the first time.

- Villain design is getting better every movie.

- Pinkie World is really funny, best scene of the whole movie.

- Sunset's newfound power is interesting.

[Vitaj 45]

I think I especially liked the song FOR EVERFREE as well as Rarity's hips swaying  to the sides 

[RNBWSp3ctrum 5]

Legend of Everfree was pretty good.

[blackstarraven 142]

Well. As far as the story goes... Its by far the weakest of the four EQ's so far.

As far as music goes... It's got my two favorite songs. but I still give it 2nd overall.

If I had to place in on a scale from 1 to 4... (That is to say best to worst EQ's) I would put it at.... Umm... Hmm... Umm... 4? Ya worst.

Now as far as how much I enjoyed it.. I give it 1st. Why?
 

Well because it actually is way more about the characters... And by THE Characters. I mean the two characters I acutally like... Sci-Twi & Sunset... Also Sunset Shimmer? ( Mean really that's the most Ship Fuel your going to get... like ever)

But on a scale from 1 to 10? Like... 10 Being the best Animated show ever made? (So Avatar the Last Air Bender and or Batman the Animated Series)

And 1 being the worse Animated show ever made. (So... the last air bender... OK that's not animated... Umm. Heman... or G.I.Joe... Rewatch them they are terrible)

 

I give it a.. Seven... Point Two Five... Three Repeating... 7.2533333333->

Its goof for a Cartoon (I mean one aimed at 8-12 year old girls)

But its not quite as good overall as the other three. If anything I feel like it was more enjoyable for people outside the target audience.

Am I the only one who noticed this? It actually made me angry.

(Just finally got around to watching)

If you put a candle in a paper lantern that's open on the top,

it ain't going anywhere!

 

I did love Sunset channeling Johnny Smith from Steven King's "The Dead Zone". I was waiting for her to touch Filthy Rich's hand and find out he would someday become president and start a nuclear war!

Well, I finally got around to watching this one.  Equestria Girls--my guilty pleasure.  I'm still opposed the existence of it to begin with, and wish they had never made them human, but I still watch it because it's cute and I enjoy it.  Actually, here's the thing: I would have been completely pro-EG from the beginning if they had made it a completely separate spin-off with absolutely no connection to the pony world whatsoever.  I.e it's a parallel universe with human doppelgangers of the ponies, but no portal between the worlds.  And in my ideal version, there would be NO MAGIC.  Yes, as odd as that sounds, that's how I'd prefer EG to be.  Just keep the magic in the fantasy world where it belongs, and make the human version a realistic world.  I think I would have enjoyed that much more.

Anyway, LoE was definitely my favorite EG movie, although there weren't any memorable songs.  (EG 1 and RR had the stellar soundtracks.)  As usual, though, I really enjoyed the first half of the movie, but then started rolling my eyes when Chlorophyll or whatever her name was turned into the Bramble Queen.  I think these EG movies go way too far with the magic stuff, and it becomes extremely hokey.  It fits in the pony world, because it's a fantasy world to begin with.  Twilight's Kingdom or The Cutie Re-Mark don't feel over the top, because the lore has built the foundation for it.  It seems ridiculous in EG, mostly because people irl wouldn't be as chill about sh*t like that happening as the entire faculty and student body of CHS seems to be.  Plus, it's annoying that they can't have a story in EG without bringing some magic from Equestria.  The actual show, FIM, can easily pull off episodes without any magic.  (Or at least no more magic than a unicorn moving a pencil with telekinesis.)  They do it all the time.  I just know I would like these movies more if they didn't do the obligatory magical calamity every time, with some character becoming a demon.  And now the humane 6....or 7...whatever, are superheroes?  So...they literally all have magic powers now...  Ugh....*eyeroll*  So...they're Power Rangers.  They found magical stones in a cave that made them superheroes.  Isn't that basically the premise of Power Rangers, except they found a space ship or something?  I say it's all a bit lame.

And is it just me, or do they portray human Rarity to be way more shallow and superficial than real Rarity?  Rarity is obsessed with fashion, yes, but it's her career, and she's also much deeper than just fashion and glamor, and she's arguably one of the most complex characters on the show.  Human Rarity is depicted as very one dimensional, as if all she cares about is cute clothes, even if her friends are dying all around her.  That's how it seems to me, anyway.  Sunset, on the other hoof, seems to be the voice of wisdom and the thread that ties them all together.

And how about those tents they had at Camp Everfree?  I mean good freaking Celestia, those tents were nicer than most people's houses!  What kind of summer camp has tents like that?!  They looked like the headquarters of a medieval king.  Like Agamemnon's tent, but with a feminine designer's touch.

The best part was the blooper reel, which, as I understand it, was included on the DVD.  (I watched it on youtube.)

Well, that's it.  Go go Power Humane 7, I guess...

I loved LoE. It's my fav movie for 2 reasons: one is that Sunset and Flash talked and two because Sunset and Sci Twi are adorable together. I ship SunLight non romantically because I can't see them as more than friends, and what would happen to SunFlash? But I didn't like when Sunset kinda let Flash down because she got distracted by Timber.
