Talk:My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks/@comment-4531340-20140927225822

The movie was great; far better than the first one (and I really liked the first one!). For one, the storytelling seemed less rushed (at least, after the beginning) and more focused. In addition, I really liked the handling of the characters, particularly Sunset Shimmer. She was written in such a way that felt very realistic, and the writing of the characters when interacting with her was also quite believeable, in that the students would still understandably be a little... resentful [if that's the right word] of her (none of the other characters really stood out to me as having excellent writing, with the possible exception of Pinkie [particularly pony Pinkie], but they were solid all-around). Also, her Big Damn Heroes moment at the end was pretty great, too (and although it was hinted from a mile away, it was still nice to see).

One other thing that I think was very notable was that the humor was great. Maud's cameo was probably the best moment as far as humor goes, but there were plenty of other notable instances (like who got the Rainbooms out from underneath the stage, and how that person was able to resist the Dazzlings' song, just to name one example; or the "song" by Snips and Snails, how could I forget that one). I mean, I could gush about this movie all day; it was that good. If there was one flaw, it was that perhaps there should've been more detail to the Battle of the Bands itself, as while it was a nice representation, I would've liked to see more than, say, Bulk Biceps curbstomping Snips and Snails in, like, three seconds or however long that effect took (though again, it was a nice effect for the bands beating the other bands)

Here's hoping that when Equestria Academy starts airing (and if EG3 is ever made) it can live up to the standards of this one.
