![]() ![]() The games themselves are very exciting, but happen too late in the film and the screen time for them is too short. There could have been much more focus on the games too. The film certainly isn't dull and the conflicts and dynamics are interesting, but some plot strands are better explored than others with a few under-explored and messily handled. While the characters are fun and likable (though Flash is still a bit on the bland side, though not as much as before, and Principal Cinch is agreed too one note), the only characters that develop are Twilight and Sunset Shimmer. 'Friendship Games' does suffer from trying to do too much, there are too many characters and too many plot strands. Twilight is much more consistently written and is more developed and likable. ![]() There is no forced or awkwardly written romance. ![]() It has to be said though that there are a couple of improvements over 'Rainbow Rocks'. Its flaws are at least different to 'Equestria Girls', not being the "having the same flaws and amplifying them" sort of sequel. It is a step down from 'Rainbow Rocks' and is nowhere near as good as 'Friendship is Magic', but it is much better than the 'Equestria Girls' film (then again many things are better than that, and it takes a lot for any of its sequels to be as bad or worse). 'Friendship Games' is a decent third instalment in the 'My Little Pony: Equestria Girls' film series. Was apprehensive about watching its first sequel 'Rainbow Rocks' but was both pleasantly surprised and very impressed. The first film based on it 'Equestria Girls' was an enormous disappointment and the complete anti-thesis in quality as one could get. 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' is in my opinion one of the best animated shows in recent years. ![]()
