Of course, nothing is perfect, so a pair of things I disliked in what I feel is an otherwise good movie...

1. The fact the five Shadowbolts didn't get as much focus. While the movie's rather short runtime and rather crammed plot explains it, the fact some of them barely got any lines is disappointing, and the fact the previously-established personalities for some of them (Namely, Lemon Zest The Drill Sargeant, Sunny Flare The Snitch and Indigo Zap The Supercompetitive Peer Pressuring Rainbow Dash Clone) aren't really seen is something of a tragedy... I think the movie would've benefitted from less focus on Cinch and more focus on The Shadowbolts and their interactions with both Twilight and their rivals to drive the conflict.

2. The fact the movie falls victim to some of the typical clichés of Sport Competition plots, such as the Antagonist Team being so terribly focused on winning they're willing to risk the lives of not only their opponents, but also innocent bystanders and even themselves. I wish it hadn't done that. At least the Shadowbolts acknowledge they screwed up badly and help during the climax, so it's not too bad.

I wonder if these flaws are improved upon on the Blu-Ray/DVD release, such as the deleted scenes featuring, say, more of the Shadowbolts as characters.
