RAINBOW ROCKS! · 11:16am Oct 5th, 2014
Hello everybody, Quetzal here signing in from America!
Well, the US to be specific, anyway. Astral told me about Rainbow Rocks just before I left and I was just SO PUMPED! What I wasn't so pumped about was that I had to write down my thoughts about it then post it here, but here they are anyway:
Right from the beginning (which was pretty much all in the sneak peeks) you could really see the improvement from the first movie. The effects are stunning for an animated film about colourful people with stilt legs but hey, the style stays true to the G4 franchise and has plenty of appeal. The characters are a lot better fleshed out, they are much deeper than they are portrayed. The voice acting is spot on as usual, but don't get me started on the singing, which was absolutely perfect. Knowing the internet you'll probably find it floating around somewhere. The movie includes so much fan-service it's funny, in a good way. It doesn't feel forced and it blends in well. I'll try not to spoil it but the main antagonists, Adiago Dazzle, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze definitely seem like a threat, and have been close to defeating the mane 6 without a ludicrous game of hot-patato. It isn't easy to get a good portrayal of a manipulative character but they put it off well. Then there's the humour, so much humour. I swear I was laughing at least every 5 minutes.
Anyway, I would like to conclude my thoughts with some keywords for som eof my favourite funny moments. If you watched the movie, you'll get them. If you didn't, then you just have to wait.
"Did I get it?" - Fluttershy
"Lunch?! (then moments later) It's Taco Tuesday!" - Sonata Dusk
"Here to there! (x10)" - Pinkie Pie
"Flash Sentry was asking about me?!" - Twilight Sparkle
"I knew I used to much grape juice," - Sonata, again, trust me she's funny.
There's many many more, trust me!
