My words are so insubstantial, but I honestly find it hard to say something else.

Again, I mean no disrespect to Faust but I'm not the sort to hate this film before I've seen it for myself (and I *haven't*). I don't like the people who keep blasting Mccarthy or the rest of the show staff either since we first heard about this darn movie.

Like with MMC, I simply want to enjoy it for what is worth and find a silver lining if there is one to be found. Twilight having this normal school experience which she may have missed out on, feeling what could very well be her first little crush.

My personal disappointment stems from that I expected so much *more* beyond what the trailer showed, and it's not. I expected so much out of Sunset and she's every bit as bland as you can imagine (which means fanfiction will have to remake her, like so many others). In the same vein, I wanted to see a depth I didn't expect to find in what is otherwise another typical high school movie, and it's not :(.

To make an example, I was hoping for a strong character focus between Sunset and Twilight that would have explored each other's differences: that Sunset is what Twilight would have been if she never made any friends. That we would *understand* why Sunset seems so bitter, and of course, show that she is much more underneath. What was the relationship between herself and Celestia? As far as I can tell, it's *barely* delved into at all.

And shoot, wouldn't it have been better if she *wasn't* the real villain? That the trailer was throwing us off and the real villain is, say, a janitor who suspiciously looks like Discord?

Anything darn it: surprise me! The writers are good enough to turn old premises and show us something new. Unfortunately, the whole thing is very "what you see is what you get". Even without all the spoilers and leaks (and there were *alot*), this story still basically went where a lot of people thought it did and that's what's most disappointing.

It's not bad, it's really not. I suddenly don't know what I expected, but I guess just, well, *more*.
