Like much of the anime that influences its source series, the picture is continuity-heavy and not particularly accessible to newcomers, but for the faithful, Rainbow Rocks does, in fact, rock. Read full review

Though it’s strictly for the faithful, the tween-friendly mix of cute and earnest has a forthright sharpness and is never cloying. Read full review

First thing I have to mention is the over the top great soundtrack, the music from the first movie was ok but not that smashing.

The charakters are well written, the villains were beliveable, even the pace of this movie was much better than the first one. Of course the voice acting is top notch like the TV show, the new voices are also well choosen. (I simply love Sonatas voice and her sillyness)
The story is a little bit generic but still decent, kids and their parents will definitly enjoy this movie.
This set´s the hopes for the third movie pretty high, but I think DHX will not dissapoint anyone.… Expand

Great movie, great story, great music. They also did a great job on making me hate the antagonists.

The best movie from Equestria Girls movies. The villains Adagio,Sonata and Aria are the best part of the movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A rather pleasant film. The characters are all likable and don't feel like two-dimensional cut-outs. The animation is rather slick especially in the sequence where they rip off Scott Pilgrim (people who have seen the film will know what I mean). The plot isn't absolutely stellar but it's good and has it's certain moments. My favourite part is Sunset Shimmer hanging around with the humane six despite being shunned by the rest of the school. It was a rather nice piece of character development. The comedy and references are great too and no jokes miss the mark. There are only two downsides. One is that the music isn't that good. Some songs are OK but mostly I just skip over them. The other is that there was a sequence where DJ PON3 saved the gang from falling through a trapdoor. It felt to me like a bit of a Deus Ex Machina. But then again, they wouldn't have gotten out any other way. Other than that, this is an all-round good movie with an adorable ending.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While it doesn't reach the heights of the show, it clearly is an improvement over its predecesor. The characters are more fleshed out and their conflict is actually believable and essential to the overall story. But without a doubt, Sunset Shimmer steals the spotlight with her simple yet effective redemption arc. The animation is way more expressive and appealing as well. As for the songs, they are more memorable than the ones in the previous movie.… Expand

Horrible movie. Plot is worthless, The characters will make you deaf and if not they are super cringe worthy, It honestly feels like a glorified 1950s toys r us ad, and the soundtrack is a -10/10 and the writing is even worse, for example Movie: Magic Magic Magic Satan, Me: SHUT UP!!!!ANDHorrible movie.
