So then.... is anybody here going to watch the mlp film? If so might I rudely ask if you post your opinion if you have the time and don't mind? I'll give it an opportunity but I'm a tad bit.... cynical about it I suppose.
I'll probably watch it, but not in the theater. I mean it definitely has flaws in the premise that I don't like, but I understand why they're doing what they're doing, and its made by the same writing team as the pony show, so it will probably still manage to be entertaining.

Personally I've heard it was meh. It was okay but not great. Good for what the story was about (bland highschool) and was Twilight learning the power of magic again. Also contrived reason for only Twilight going. And an extremely forced romance plot. Some very loving references towards Vinyl Scratch, youtube, and Derpy though! In the end it doesn't sound like something I would like to watch. And eeeeh something I hope they don't reference. I really want to give it a try... but the entire argument, the debate, the terrible first trailer, the humanization, the forced romance, and, admittedly, reading summaries and reviews only further pushed me away from slightly interested to cynical as hell.

I loved it. It felt like a long episode. They put in a ton of subtle hints for bronies, quite frankly they made that movie for Bronies. I totally felt I got my 10 bucks of entertainment, and that's the first movie I've seen this year that has given me that feeling.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! In the end I succumbed to curiosity and watched it. In the end.... it was meh to me. The animation wasn't bad and for what it was, I got a ton of laughs (particularly Derpy and Vinyl sold me). In the end though, I cannot call it good. It was blatantly advertising reasons, had a contrived plot, was the first two episodes repeated, and has the boring high school prom jerky bully girl vibe. Finally, the romance plot even though it was minor made me want to gag whenever I saw it. In the end though.... eh. They did the best they could with such a terrible concept and I'll give them that. I just hope it doesn't get shoehorned into 4th edition.
It's a great movie for fans, but it's not going to stand up to any of the other big movies (or hell even the other kid's movies)
Had it been Direct to DVD, everyone would probably agree that it was a really good movie. But considering this is the first movie for MLP;FiM (and DHX as well) every brony needs to atleast give it one watch.
I understand why they kinda set it up like the first couple episodes though. It gives Hasbro some room to play with a spinoff. If they decide to go that way. Since the "new" characters have been introduced, all they gotta do is start from where the film left off in the Human world. IIRC IDW is making a 6 comic series for Equestria girls and
Spoiler:
Human pinkie hinted to a Human Twilight already living in the Human world
I don't think they'll bring it over into the next season, but if Hasbro wanted to, they have more than enough wiggle room to start something to go along FiM. Make a MLP power hour every saturday. Would totally give it a try.
And I think Time to make a Change is my new Favorite MLP song.

Yeah.... Iron Man is more of a pinkie pie type of guy as seen in his Practicality to Feths Given ratio( 0:0 )

Nah. Tony couldn't stand sharing the limelight, and neither could Rarity.
AJ actually fits somewhat. Her practicality compliments his excess, while her willingness for hard work and honesty are things he'd be able to relate to and 'get behind'.

AJ would probably get sick of all his "fancy mathematics" pretty quick though. Then again I'm probably heavily influenced by an Advegers/Pony crossover fic I read awhile back where Rarity was the stand in for Pepper Pots. Guess who Iron Pony was?
