What happened to this great franchise? It seems as if this wonderful franchise has sold out to Hollywood. The previous films' scripts were written masterfully and up there with the greats such as "Once Upon Time in America" or "Cool Hand Luke". But this outing seems to have been written by a child and for children. The acting is equally as terrible, filled with idiotic childish catch phrases. It seems as if they were trying to sell some kids toys or something.
And nothing was believable at all. I understand that it is a fantasy movie, but the audience must be transposed into this created reality. This film falls flat in doing so. I just didn't buy into the whole flying sequences, it seems cheesy at best. And when the ponies start talking to the dragon??? I can't make that leap of faith to believe that the two species can even communicate. it's asking way too much of the audience, unless you audience is... what, under 4 years old??? WTF?
In an endeavor not to sound totally like sour grapes, i gave it 1 star because the color palette of the film was actually decent... OK, OK, it was awesome. 2 stars.
