Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

jwwalrath-227-85487 This third entry continues the Equestria Girls' habit of putting more effort into a high school film for young girls than one would expect. Again, this film does a strong job of using history and characterization from previous films. Former villain turned supporter Sunset Shimmer has become the leader of the group and it was a nice choice seeing the stress of her dealing with the aftereffects of the magic she released in the world of Canterlot High.The plot, characters, and dialogue are all fun. The idea of the characters involved in a crazy competition worked well. Keep your eyes open for the obstacle course that can only exist in a children's film. Liked the competing students, the Wondercolts. Yeah, they were probably created to sell more dolls and they don't have quite enough time to juggle them all, but the girls have personality. The main villain Principal Abbacus Cinch is one of the MLP universe's best villains. So delightfully prideful and manipulative. Special credit to should be given to her voice actress Iris Quinn who really nails it.Animation is decent. Some of the character movements seemed a little awkward, but in fairness they were working on a straight-to-DVD budget. They did try to make the film as theatrical-looking as they could, especially during the musical numbers.Speaking of the songs, they were all good, though not very memorable. The one highlight is the sinisterly, seductive, and chorus-heavy villain song "Use the Magic." In fact, I think it might be the best of all of Daniel Ingram's songs for the franchise.Be aware that this film isn't supposed to be Shakespeare, but I think parents will mostly have as much fun as their children with this.

barbaradavis-39578 equestria Girls rainbow Rocks And friendship games are good movies the plot is so good it's about twilight joining the shadowbolts in the friendship games but on a early secne twilight became midnight sparkle to destroy the human world and sunset became daydream shimmer to defeat midnight sparkle so the plot is so amazing hasbro is making more equestria girls movies but they made a last one it was legend of everfree that movie is good so all the equestria girls movies are good and the plot is so good

TheLittleSongbird 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' is in my opinion one of the best animated shows in recent years. The first film based on it 'Equestria Girls' was an enormous disappointment and the complete anti-thesis in quality as one could get. Was apprehensive about watching its first sequel 'Rainbow Rocks' but was both pleasantly surprised and very impressed.'Friendship Games' is a decent third instalment in the 'My Little Pony: Equestria Girls' film series. It is a step down from 'Rainbow Rocks' and is nowhere near as good as 'Friendship is Magic', but it is much better than the 'Equestria Girls' film (then again many things are better than that, and it takes a lot for any of its sequels to be as bad or worse). Its flaws are at least different to 'Equestria Girls', not being the "having the same flaws and amplifying them" sort of sequel.It could have been much better. It has to be said though that there are a couple of improvements over 'Rainbow Rocks'. There is no forced or awkwardly written romance. Twilight is much more consistently written and is more developed and likable. And Flash isn't quite as bland. 'Friendship Games' does suffer from trying to do too much, there are too many characters and too many plot strands.While the characters are fun and likable (though Flash is still a bit on the bland side, though not as much as before, and Principal Cinch is agreed too one note), the only characters that develop are Twilight and Sunset Shimmer. The film certainly isn't dull and the conflicts and dynamics are interesting, but some plot strands are better explored than others with a few under-explored and messily handled.There could have been much more focus on the games too. The games themselves are very exciting, but happen too late in the film and the screen time for them is too short.However, the animation is vibrant, ethereal and well-rounded, like 'Friendship is Magic' and 'Rainbow Rocks' and unlike 'Equestria Girls', with character designs that are appealing and don't send warning signs about potential bad messaging. The songs aren't quite as good as in 'Rainbow Rocks' but are still catchy and cheerful, they're easy to hum along to and the lyrics aren't too cheesy.Much of the writing is fine too. Like 'Rainbow Rocks', there is a good balance of humour and emotion, with winning and amusing humour and poignant and never schmaltzy or mawkish emotion. The references are clever and naturally integrated and the messages are well-meaning and heartfelt and avoid being preachy.Story here has its messy moments but still moves along nicely and it doesn't feel like an extended TV episode. Twilight and Sunset Shimmer are well realised characters, love what the sequels have done with the latter, and of the newer characters Sugarcoat (hilariously personality-wise the complete opposite of her name) is a sheer delight.Voice acting is very strong, no talent wastes here. Tara Strong, Ashleigh Ball and Rachel Shoichet are particularly good.Although, decent second sequel but could have been better. 7/10 Bethany Cox
