Anyway, as a movie, I felt it did well enough. It told it's story well enough, Human Pinkie knowing everything was scoffed off by the others, so I didn't mind it (That and it was immediately followed by the "HE CAN TALK!?!" line which may have mellowed any issues I would've had with it ), Sunset was generic, but she was really no worse than Nightmare or Sombra. Then again, I like schemers...
For the fanservice, they weren't subtle, but they weren't blatant either. They didn't shove it in your face (Scootaloo's chicken dance is a blink and you'll miss it, Trixie's cape and hat only show up in the background, Vinyl's glasses being removed wasn't a big scene, etc etc), so the little shout outs didn't really get to me and it just felt like the animators having fun.

It's an average movie, but to me and a few others, going into it ready to hate it and coming out liking it, that's where the charm emerged.

At least she looked better than Luna.

True. At least it wasn't the billboard in Sonic Rainboom, and I never said I hated Sunset. I feel she was better near the end, since everything else she was doing before her plan went into action were typical "mean girl" things like making and embarrassing video and posting it on the internet, and whatnot.

One more thing, when Twilight said that Equestia would survive without her Element, my thought was this: If it weren't for the Elements of Harmony, then Equestria would either have been engulfed in eternal night, or eternal chaos, Equestria would be doomed.

I did enjoy it. I was afraid that the high school thing would change the characters a bit, and I'm glad it didn't. I'm also glad that the romance subplot was rather subdued, and a 5.5/10 doesn't mean I hate it, it just means I think it's average. Not great, not horrible, just average. Which is good, since I was expecting to hate it going in.
