So I just saw Equestria Girls.
Spoiler : REVIEW SO SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT :
Honestly, I actually quite liked it. It sorta played out like a mix of a fanfic and a Disney Channel Original Movie. In no way is that a bad thing.
The plot is quite simple: Sunset Shimmer nicks her crown, goes through a portal; she has to get it back via the time-honored method of becoming the prom queen (Or princess, in this case).
There weren't actually that many songs, but the ones there were were very good. I especially liked the one about "helping Twilight win the crown". The characterization was spot on and the animation was very good. I also like the way it kinda mirrored the plot of the first two episodes.
The only bad points I found were that it seemed a bit rushed (A particularly egregious example occurs with Luna; I won't say any more), I found the whole romance subplot kinda annoying and the ending was a deus ex machina, plain and simple. It also seemed quite Anvilicious with the whole thing about friendship.
Overall, however, I found the good points outweighed the bad. Trust the writers indeed.
7/10.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, yes, there are a few little nods to the show and the fandom here and there.
Oh, yeah, also: "THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE...needs some peanut butter crackers!"

"Keep your eye peeled"

O_o Do you know what scary connotations that phrase carries? Number one, it implies that I only have one eye. Number two, I don't think peeling my eye is very sanitary OR pleasant...

Sadly, our attempt to record our review failed ;_;

We're trying again tomorrow, if we can fix the issues.

Turnabout Storm Part 5 is monstrous. 2 hours 34 minutes.

And I love how I've forgotten absolutely everything.

EDIT: Dear god.

Worst solution since locked room suicide. Except I tolerated locked room suicide because story.
