Aw Equestria Girls. I dreaded your coming for so long, and for good reason. Like everyone else during the hiatus, I was truly desperate for new content. So I eventually caved in to watch this....thing. And well, I can pretty much pinpoint the exact minute this movie went to the crapper.
Okay, that's enough exaggeration. Now back to the real: It was riddled with inconsistencies, for the story to work everyone involved has to be a complete idiot that never even considered another option, Sunset Simmer was not an intimidating villain in the slightest, it made no sense how an entire world of characters of all ages translates into ONE High School, the songs were not as great as people made them out to be, the character design was retarded I mean really, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE wears skirts and boots/kneesocks. The romance, OH GOD, the romance was the most forced, unnecessary addition I've seen in years. Flash Sentry only exists to give Twilight, who up to this point has never shown any interest in other guys, someone to drool over and he's the dullest character ever. His only trait is being a nice guy that can play guitar. Because as we all know, no matter what kind of girl you are nice guys with guitars are just perfect.
The fact that the film ended with the same Rainbow Deus ex Machina that's plagued the other villain episodes is just sad because this is a fucking movie, SS's sudden apology is so forced and unconvincing that I would not be shocked if she's lying, and I'm disgusted that Twilight's willing to give up everyone she knows and loves in Equestria for these shallow imitations she just met.
The animation was so-so as usual and the voice acting was regular. I seriously don't understand how anyone could like this dreck.
You know what's really funny though? This entire time, Twilight never went to a single class and her duplicate is implied to not go to that school. So Principle Celestia just gave school property to some weirdo who just walked in off the street.
All that being said, I give it a 5/10. Simply because while I have a soft spot for ponies, I refuse to forgive this movie's stupidity.
It's kinda horrible.
