As a brony, I think this movie could have been better. The main flaw is that it doesn't even primarily take place in Equestria. Another flaw is that it focuses on barely any of the other characters apart from the Mane 6. I really wanted to see Princess Celestia play a bigger part, but instead she barely appears. I still liked the gorgeous animation in this movie and I am glad that the film was made. This is one of the first traditionally animated films released in mainstream theaters in a long time. I hope we get to see more popular animated shows like "Adventure Time" and "Rick And Morty" get theatrical films like this.
This film was rated PG for mild action. That's just ridiculous. There is absolutely no reason why this film shouldn't have been rated G. I did like the Tempest character especially with the broken horn design. Sadly, the Storm King is pretty shallow for a villain. This runs into the main problem so many films based on TV shows run into. It just feels like a long episode of the show! I don't want that in a movie at all. It's weird how the Equestria Girls spin off films are actually better representations of the characters! Well, it was by no means bad at least. **1/2
