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

Rainbow Rocks is better than it has any right to be. Yes, it is a film for little girls and isn't Shakespeare, but it sets it self apart from other girls films by trying harder.

The film contains strong lines and characterization. A good choice from the writers was to have the focus on the reformed villain from the last film Sunset Shimmer helping the others and dealing with her own past and self-doubt. You care a little more about her and the main cast than you think you would.

Nice animation for a made-for-video budget. I was especially taken away the by the opening and end credits. Seriously, they're really eye-catching.

The songs are stronger than the last film but still nothing to write home to mom about. They're decent but not memorable.… Expand

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Rainbow Rocks blows the first movie in the direct-to-video series out of the water with its sharp wit, hilarious humor, and a plot that has a lesson young and old alike can learn from. And the soundtrack isMy Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Rainbow Rocks blows the first movie in the direct-to-video series out of the water with its sharp wit, hilarious humor, and a plot that has a lesson young and old alike can learn from. And the soundtrack is absolutely fantastic, with composition by Daniel Ingram.

Without giving away any of the story or plot, I must say that it is VERY complex for a "little girls" video. I think if I were an 8 year old girl I'd have a pretty hard time following the plot for most of the show, although as an adult I had no issue with it. It's simply another example of how amazing the script-writing is: it feels like a blockbuster Hollywood film the way it flows.

The animation is also far superior than what we have seen in the latest season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and My Little Pony: Equestria Girls. New facial animations add a bigger variety of expressions, and advanced manipulation of the Flash engine creates at times an almost 3D effect which is truly compelling. While die-hard fans of the show and first movie may be put off at first by the very-different animation style, it is definitely an improvement and I'm excited to see what Season 5 is going to include.

The music deserves its own paragraph for sure! Daniel Ingram has outdone himself once again, composing an deceivingly simple soundtrack comprised of complex harmonies, and does an excellent job of combining genres into each song. From Pop and Rock 'n Roll to Trance and A Capella, there is a little bit of everything in the movie. I've said it many times and I'll say it again: without Daniel Ingram's brilliant songwriting My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic would not be the popular sensation it is today.

For statistical purposes, I am a 20 year old Music Major at Cabrillo Community College in Aptos, California. My emphasis is in Voice and Music Education. I am also a hobbyist PC gamer, FCC Licensed General-class Amateur Radio operator, pianist, and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Oh yeah, and I'm also a Brony.… Expand

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.
Whe I compare Rainbow Rocks to the first Equestria girls movie it´s a 100% improvement.

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

The movie is pretty cool for all ages. I am 18 and I admired when I wached the movie, even the second time.(Yep, I watched the two sessions in a row.) It went in one breath. Songs are simply adorable. Some of them needs extended versions. DjThe movie is pretty cool for all ages.

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

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 exampleHorrible movie.
