I disagree. Sunset was only really a jerk (she lets spike go when asked and is actually kind of insulted when twilight suspects she'll hurt him, and loosing control over the elements would have forced her to realize both how awful she was and that her belief that she was ready being proven wrong would have probably horrified her.) As such when faced with just how evil she truly was she was probably horrified.

Ultimately, it was a cute, harmless experiment that didn't work quite as well as it could've. But it was enjoyable enough.

Not Great, But Worth a Watch
Equestria Girls... from the moment I heard of it until I saw it, I hoped that it would never exist. After seeing it, I can honestly say I could go either way. Why? Here's the basic rundown:
Pro:
The Animation is top notch
Spike's Character (Considering I can't stand Spike in Friendship is Magic, this is huge)
Helping Twilight Win the Crown
The scene with Trixie getting her peanut butter crackers
Sunset Shimmer prior to the end
Twilight's clumsiness
Con:
Two words: Flash Sentry
The ending
Too much Fan-pandering
All songs except HTWtC
Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna
Snips and Snails
To clarify some points, fan-pandering vs. fan-service is a big distinction for me. Fan-service, which is fine gives a nod or two to the audience. Fan-pandering makes the movie all about the nods. And EQG has way too many moments where they tried to pander to the fans. Some of them were good, like the Trixie mention, but they could have easily left others out. Sunset Shimmer WOULD have been up there with Discord as one of the greatest villains had the ending where she did a 180 heel-face turn was so full of crap. She had a solid background, a reason for being there, and was a strong villain, then at the last second they trashed the best new character of the movie. And as far as Chad (Flash Sentry) goes, I don't hate him for the relationship with Twilight. I hate him for having no personality and no purpose. Yes, he showed the pictures to Luna, but literally ANY of the other 5 could have done it, and the scene would have not been worse. But, for the most part, the first hour of the movie was decent, if not good. Too bad the ending ruined things.
Final Rating: 7.3325/10 Would watch again, but don't expect me to buy the Blu-Ray or DVD.
