Saw the G5 Movie Today. · 5:04pm Feb 22nd, 2022
As is probably apparent by my lateness to the proceedings, I haven't really been motivated to catch it thus far, but was babysitting and my charge wanted to watch it.
What did you think about it? I thought it was breezy enough - breakneck pace and shallow characterisation kinda worked against it at times, but on the whole it was an okay watch. And I guess shallow characterisation works well for a fanfic writer.
Izzy is fab, though (which will come as no surprise to anyone who even half knows me).

Sounds like we pretty much agree. If you’re interested I posted my own comments on it.
yup, that's around what I felt about it, Izzy included :)
I thought it was cute! Definitely enough for me to want to check out the series when it comes out.

Izzy Moonbow is best pony. She's like Ponks and Rares and Derpy combined and I love it

I quite liked the locations, but it would have been nice to have had a chance to see some lore and customs connecting to it. It's tough for a film to afford the time for that kind of approach though. The format isn't the kindest.

Looks like I'm in good company then

Gasp. Traitor. To think we once sat at the same Ocellus table.

Her repeated ta-daaa was adorable.
Yeah, this one gets it.

True, but this was the scene that absolutely cemented her in my heart and best pony ranking:
I thought it was pleasant enough, and I liked most of the characters, but there was nothing really compelling about it that would make me enthusiastic for a show or to write fanfic about it. However, that's not unusual for a movie that's trying to be relatively self-contained, and the series may well turn out to be better. The G4 movie felt about the same to me, and Tempest was the only character (well, maybe Caelano too) that I had much interest in seeing their continuing adventures. So to be fair, it's not doing anything different than G4 did in having a movie inspire me so far.
I enjoyed it a good deal -- enough so that I'm really quite sad that I never got the chance to see it at the cinema. Also, much as I like Izzy (and Sunny, who is probably marginally my favourite) Hitch was the surprise package for me. Much more interesting than I thought he'd be. Also those little Fluttershy-adjacent traits, which never hurts!

I love Izzy, too!!!! The Mane 5 only stand above each other in my rankings by millimeters!
I liked it, overall. :)
