I know there's been a few articles about this, but I actually wanted to write an article about what I think about the movie. As most of my articles say, please do comment and like if you so desire. However, your comments should be written in a way that is constructive and not meant to hurt or insult others. So now I will start :)

So when I first heard about Rainbow Rocks I wasn't very excited about it. I heard the "Shake Your Tail" song and I didn't like it. I also did not understand why they were doing a battle of the bands. However, once I saw the trailer with the villains then I understood why they were having a battle of the bands theme. And the song "Battle of the Bands" I think is pretty amazing! Once I found out that the villains were going to be sirens I got excited for the movie.

Now after actually watching the movie I don't think it met all of my expectations, but it was still enjoyable. Here's what I thought was good about the movie:

1). The Dazzlings - This trio I have to say is one of MLP:FIM's best villains, but the one that stands out the most is Adagio. Adagio is smart, manipulative, and dare I say seductive. She truly is the villain of the movie with the other two more as support. Adagio though is not my favorite of the the three. I love Sonata! She is so cute and funny! Aria is just kinda bratty. When the three of them sing though it is magic! Throughout the entire movie I just got so excited when they were singing. Their back story is very intriguing as well. I truly hope that they will utilize them again.

2). Sunset Shimmer - I am really glad with how they treated her character in this movie. I was very disappointed with her role as a villain in the first so I am pleased with how they wrote her redemption. Sunset Shimmer just has a great personality in this movie. She knows what she did was wrong in the past and she is doing everything she can to do better even though most people are so mean to her. She helps the mane six to stop their own drama and she sings well. I believe she shares Twilight's singing voice. In addition, I like in the end that Sunset Shimmer writes to Twilight about friendship. I think this adds a lot of depth to the story and will possibly show one of Twilight's new functions as a princess.

3). The Shorts - They weren't actually part of the film as it was shown in theaters, but they were released for the movie and they were fairly entertaining. My favorite short being a "Perfect Day for Fun". These took extra time to make and also showed us some extra inside info into what happened.

4). The Story Line - Given that the movie was a bit shorter than most movies released in theaters I think they did a pretty good job. There were lots of enjoyable parts to the film, their was conflict, and watching the movie was quite enjoyable. They did a good job with pacing and including so much giving not just the main characters chances to shine, but even many background characters. The interactions between the characters was fairly well done as well. I especially like how Twilight and Sunset Shimmer bonded in this movie. In fact, I really liked that whole slumber party part.

5). The Teaser - At the end of the film is a short scene with Twilight from the human-like world and she is analyzing data about Canterlot High. This is extremely interesting and I am excited for what they plan to do with this. I wonder if this Twilight will be a protagonist or an antagonist? Does she have magic? These questions and lots more I hope are answered soon.

And now what I did not like about the movie:

1). The Defeat of The Dazzlings - Most of the time I am all for the good guys winning, however, I have to say with this movie I was not. The Dazzlings to me were better than The Rainbooms. I did not really like any of the songs that The Rainbooms sang on their own. I did however like every song that The Dazzlings were in. I felt that this was definitely something that the writers and producers should have caught. To me, The Dazzling's songs were superior to the The Rainboom's in basically every way. In addition, I believe the only way the The Rainbooms were able to defeat The Dazzlings is just because The Dazzlings actually did not have singing capabilities and channeled their singing power through their necklaces. This does not make sense to me because as far as I know from siren mythology the ability to sing is innate to sirens. I believe that the writers made the sirens in Rainbows Rocks not have this talent so that it would be easier for the The Rainbooms to beat them. I thought those necklaces were just used to store the energy they steal from people, but apparently that wasn't the case. Truly I was disappointed. I feel like The Rainbooms did not deserve to beat The Dazzlings based off of the songs they sang.

2). Flash Sentry - Now I actually like Flash Sentry, but what I am getting irritated about is that writers are really not expanding his character. I truly feel that if written properly Flash can become a really interesting character. I really do hope the writers do this soon because I feel like I'm one of my few people who like Twilight and Flash together.

Overall, I feel like Rainbow Rocks was about a 3/5 . I also do not think that it was so much better than Equestria Girls. I recently rewatched Equestria Girls and I think it was a cute movie. The big problems I have with Equestria Girls is that a lot of the movie felt like a repeat of the first episode of MLP:FIM and I was disappointed with Sunset Shimmer as a villain. Still I feel that Equestria Girls and Rainbow Rocks are about even for me.
