Watched a cam recording of it.

Not nearly as bad as I feared. Chockablock full of fanservice in the way of references (though to be fair, the setting does legitimately facilitate this) and to be honest the subtle background references were the bits I enjoyed most. The story makes sense in the overall arc of FiM thus far and I can respect that the people working on it evidently made as much of an effort as they were able to make it not cringeworthy.

That said, I didn't enjoy it enough that I plan to watch a "proper" version of it when they're available. Had I the choice I would opt for season 3 to have had 26 episodes and no movie any day.

Its existence comes down to Hasbro wanting a "human" doll to go up against the likes of Barbie and Bratz. And with FiM doing so well, it essentially became a victim of its own popularity that Hasbro decided to simply use that as a launching point for these.

i'm very disappointed that scootaloo didn't even talk in this movie

very disappointed. they just reused the cutie mark crusaders song. very disappointed.

Wow, that looks really cool. Can't wait for the start of S4.

I'm personally intrigued to see what they'll do with this Luna thing. I wouldn't think Trixie would be behind it, cause I wouldn't think that her magic could work on a rank as high as princess. But, I could be wrong. Either way, I'm pretty excited to see what's in store.

bronies are horrible in general

don't get me wrong i dig the show

but bronies are a pretty crappy fanbase

After I gave it a bit more thought, I also came to that same conclusion since my previous post.

It makes a lot of sense, especially since a re-born evil Luna would try to take out Celestia, Twilight, and Cadence simultaneously, not just Twi.

In that case, I'm really looking forward to a flashback episode, especially if they gave us some fresh pony lore on Celestia's life.

Nah, I prefer to introduce a little anarchy and love shows without being part of a fandom!  Hnnneeahahahahaaaaaaaaah!

Seriously, though, I don't see the purpose of obsessing over a certain TV shows or films to the degree some fandoms do.  If I did that with every show I liked or was even mildly interested in, my sanity would crumble.  Take Sherlock, for instance.  I actually overheard one of the people in my class saying that a friend of hers had to stop being a fan because "it was too much for her".  No joke.  Seriously?!   Being a fan should be something you enjoy doing, and do for fun, not something that is so exhausting you have to quit.  Excuse my judgement, but around 90% of Sherlock fans that I'm aware of appear to be supremely irritating teenage girls who won't shut up about about how sexy Benedict Cumberbatch is or what a cute couple Sherlock and "Jawn" are (despite the fact it's clearly stated they are not.).  And don't even get me started on that moronic fan-art... 

The irony here is these sort of fans completely miss the point of shows like Sherlock.  I personally like it because it's brilliantly written and manages to pay tribute to the original books while giving the stories a completely new and original twist, because the writers, directors and actors manage to hit exactly the right tone needed, and because every single episode I've seen is a complete standout.  But the way these so-called "fans" talk about Sherlock, they might just as well be Justin Bieber or One Direction obsessives.  And if Sherlock himself actually existed, he'd probably say that they are complete morons.

OK, I've ranted enough here (perhaps I shouldn't have brought it up in the first place...), so I shall stop inflicting my opinion on the World and let you all get on with discussing ponies.

I wouldn't even consider telling people how to enjoy a show (perhaps my statement about that wasn't very clear) but you have to admit that basing your enjoyment of a show primarily on the physical attractiveness of its main character is pretty shallow.  If all you do is talk about how attractive one character or the other is, you're missing out on everything else the show has to offer.  And I never said things like Cosplaying would exclude someone from being a fan; if anything it makes someone even more of a fan as they are willing to devote time and money to dress up as characters from show, and in a way I admire their dedication.  I know for  fact that if I would dress up as a cartoon pony from a show originally targeted at pre-teen girls I would probably shrivel and die of embarrassment--though then again I'm not a Brony...  (Although I would enjoy dressing up as, say, characters from Doctor Who, or Sherlock, or DC Comics [especially The Joker]--but that's not relevant...)

Maybe I'm missing something here, but a large proportion of the comments I see on YouTube clips are usually about the physical attractiveness of Sherlock and John.  Also, "Cumbercookies"?  Many female Sherlock fans seem happy to call themselves.... something else.

Actually, in the first episode, Sherlock and John both state that they are heterosexual.  Also everyone seems to forget John has a girlfriend and Sherlock fell in love with Irene Adler.  It was Irene, not John, who first started the whole "cheekbone" thing too.  Many people in the show seem to assume Sherlock and John are a couple because they share a flat, and because they can't believe Sherlock would be capable of having friends or even being nice to people in general--but that doesn't necessarily mean they are anything more than friends.
