This is gonna sound weird, but I first decided to check out FiM after a number of webcomics I follow (El Goonish Shive, F@NBOY$, Out at Home, VG Cats, etc.) all made references to it at around the same time. I wasn't even partially aware of how big the show was until around that time. But to be honest, I did judge. I was a hater, if only because of how grossly uninformed I was. I checked out an episode not to give it a try, but because I wondered why it was as popular as it was. I was fully prepared to write it off as a barely above-average kids' show, and was pleasantly surprised by how wrong I was about it.

But here's the thing: Now that I am informed, now that I know and appreciate what this show is all about, I can't be excited about this movie. Because to me, it looks exactly like what I originally thought FiM was like back then: overrated and not worth my time.

I do plan to give it this movie a fair shot (so no one can say I didn't), but I don't expect to be wowed.
