Let's just say the film surprised me. It basically had the things the episodes have, but in an 1 hour length movie (why does spell checker say this word is spelt wrong <_<).
Don't get me wrong, it's not the best film, but compared to "The Spongebob Square Movie", "Totally Spies: The Movie" and "Pokémon: The First Movie", it wipes the floor clean with them (did I just say that with a 'girls' film 0_0).
I might actually go and import the DVD of it.
For my quick opinion, check below:

What do you think? Does he maybe need a badge or something?

I wouldn't really say the flukey manner in which he lost should be given in his favor, considering that every single major villain so far has gone down extremely quickly. Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, Sombra, and now Sunset Shimmer have all gone down in basically one hit, via the power of friendship/the power of love. This dude was destined be thoroughly curbstomped into his place simply due to the fact that he was an antagonist in a show about magic ponies whose target audience is young children.
But you know what? I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm not watching this show to see epic battle scenes. I'm watching it for the quirky characters. With the villains here, it's all about the journey to the final showdown with them, rather than the showdown itself. Everybody loves Discord because of how much personality he had. Sombra, on the other hand, was not a quirky character. He was, like you said, a Sauron-esque being with maybe two lines. While this works in Lord of the Rings, it doesn't quite work here, because... well... My Little Pony is just a tad different.
And even though SS WAS just a mashup of NMM and Trixie, my point was that she at least had this going for her. Even a recycled personality is better than a nonexistent one. You might even make the point that she had a teensy bit of character development at the end. (She doesn't have any friends! That means it's OKAY for her to blow up schools and make mind slaves out of everybody!)
Sombra is... uh... evil... and he likes crystals, maybe. Heck, the dragon in Dragonshy had more personality and he got half the screentime of Sombra.
I don't know why I'm defending Sunset Shimmer though. As I said, I didn't even like her that much.

I was somewhat hyped about it when i heard about about it, i mean the potential!
and then when it happened, it fell flat on its face.
First of all, the humanoid ponies look really weird and anatomically incorrect, especially their faces.
It was also unbelievably cliched, i was cringing pretty much the whole way through. Sunset was absolutely horrible. She might have been interesting as a pony, but she's just a bitch full stop as a human, no redeeming qualities, just your run of the mill high-school bully. Which is unbelievably boring.
The songs are just terrible too.
It turned a fairly remarkable show into shit. Completely mundane, weekday afternoon tv show shit.
Urgh, MLP:FiM should stay FirMly away from doing humans.

Well I like the show because it's got interesting characters and good morals. I mean it's not everyone's cup of tea but yeah, most of us are pretty serious about liking the show.
I also like it on a more personal level as i loved playing with the ponies as a kid and it's nice to see that the franchise live on beyond just being a crappy kiddy show and franchise

They might be fake, but I don't think so. Apparently Entertainment Weekly's trailer will be out tomorrow so we'll see.

One thing's for sure: It's been an all out attack on headcannon and fanfiction. We know how the 1st battles with Nightmare Moon and Discord played out, Daring Do is an actual pony, Scootaloo isn't homeless, and other stuff. And needless to say we're gonna' see more destruction of headcannon and fanfiction in the months to come (just sit back and watch the whining and raging
). EDIT: OMG. The synopsis for Ep. 11 has been released:

But don't let my words let you decide. Go and watch one and see what you think. I would say watch Season 2: Episodes 1-2. If you're a fan of Star Trek, you might recognize a certain voice actor.

For a more legal way, iTunes (both USA & Australia) have them. If you have Netflix account and change the DNS to load the USA videos, they have Season 1-3.
Or if you're man enough, order one of the volume sets (have 6 episodes) from amazon.

On another note: I'm starting to dislike the brony fandom more and more. The one thing I was hoping would never become an issue in it is happening: Shipping wars. Not like the ones that happened in this fandom though. In this case many fans seem to feel none of the mane 6 deserve to have any type of pairing... except with their OC's.
Flash Sentry appeared for a few seconds in the latest episode, and some of the fans went ape shit because of it. All because of him and Twilight in Equestria Girls. By appearing in the show, it makes EqG canon to them, which means their waifu has a chance of being stolen. 
Here's an example: http://courageous-of-light.deviantart.c ... -429560195And that's not it. On top of that rage, there's already more brewing with the release of the synopsis for Ep. 13 "Simple Ways":
Spoiler:
Another reason was the whole thng over the Ask Princess Molestia blog. That was the biggest black eye to the fandom yet.
And in other news, there's this:
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/01/m ... -fund.html
A 13 year old kid tried to commit suicide because he was bullied for being a brony. :zenny: They caught him, but he has severe brain damage. And there's a fundraiser already underway.
Finally Hasbro's website has been hacked. Going there redirects you to a site with a trojan.

At least it ended with a bang. literally. By bringing back Tirek they've connected the original G1 MLP cartoon with G4.

I've never watched the old MLP, so I don't really get why people where hyped about Tirek? He was pretty badass however.
We got "Equestria Girls 2" this September to look forward to. Not sure if this is getting a a cinema release, not that it will get showed in the UK. Well the last did, on one weekend, in selected cinema's, when I was on holiday.

Seriously many people were pissed about it. After 99 eps. I think they're entitled to splurge on one.
Some of the best scenes was Gummy thinking to himself, Twilicane, Vinyl and Octavia's music session and literally jumping a shark with the "wub cart", Luna and Celestia bickering, Berry Punch carrying a barrel of cider or punch... Just too much to list.
And have another piece of ponified
