I don't know how much more of this I can take. Last time I experienced anything involving evil rich people and forestation it was Ubisoft's 'Assassin's Creed III(2012)'. At least that was intellectually stimulating, despite Connor being a loser. This movie is starting to make me hate Sunset Shimmer. At least we get to hear her sing without those monkeys in the background. I feel like they got some of this from that crap episode 'Power Ponies' on the show. I'll tell you who they rip off-or are 'Inspired By', if you prefer. : On the show that is.Rarity-Green LanternRainbow Dash-ThorPinkie Pie-The FlashFluttershy-The Hulk(why?)Applejack-Wonder WomanTwilight-Doctor StrangeSpike-Batman/RobinMane-iac-The Joker and/or LokiSome of this was unchanged for the movie. Personally, I hate that they just get away with this stuff Scot-free. Even 'Teen Titans GO!(2013-Today)' can do it. But anyway, back to this evil movie.So Canterlot High goes on a trip to Camp Everfree, which just so happens to be surrounded by a cursed forest and coveted by an evil businessman. Wonderful world to live in, isn't it? Also, the villain's name is 'Filthy Rich'. Why? 'Cause he's filthy rich! Either he's a Templar and there's a Piece of Eden somewhere under the forest, or they modeled him after Donald Trump(Hell, I'm glad I voted for Trump, and given the chance I'd do it again. That's right, I said it.). What nice people Hasbro has! If Rich was becoming such a problem, why didn't they just hire a bodyguard? Jason Morgan? Kevin Costner? The Magnificent Seven? The Punisher? Deadpool? They have him in this world, right? But of course, everything worked out in the end, because the Mane 7 used the magic of Friendship, because that worked out sooo well in 'Tomb Raider(2018)' and other countless good movies.If any parents reading this have read my review for Friendship is Magic, then you know the lies that its feeding your children. But together we can stop it. We can stop My Little Pony from leading our children down the path to Fascism.

Now, the characterization and dialogue is still fairly strong, The colors in this are also gorgeous; the best of the films. However, this film is more obvious. In the past, Equestria Girls managed to differentiate itself from other high school films for young girls by being a bit more creative. Here, though, things get more cliched. This is a more traditional story of saving the camp that's going out of business along with some traditional romantic flirting. The villain and song are also subpar.Not bad, per se and probably still stronger than other films of the type, but still a weaker MLP entry.

Weirdly enough, the fourth installment in the 'Equestria Girls' spin-off movie series is reminiscent of slasher horror movies like 'Friday the 13th' and 'Sleepaway Camp' as it stars a bunch of high schoolers at a remote summer camp in the middle of a forest, and they are stalked by a mysterious dark power. Of course, since this is 'My Little Pony', nobody gets killed, but there are scenes set in the woods at night, some horror stories told around a campfire, a traitorous villain character and an actual monster.The story has good tension, but the ending falls apart. The whole 'Equestria Girls' series is hit and miss. The two first movies were energetic and fun, while 'Friendship Games' was weird and psychological. With 'Legend of Everfree', it seems the series is starting to lose steam.The franchise is in a strange place. It's got a lot of fans and the TV show has resolved some issues that have been a long time coming, but it also is getting a bit tired, repeating the same plot lines over and over. There's also an animated feature film coming up with ponies instead of humans this time.

***Spoilers***I've watched all the Equestria Girl's movies and I have to say, this is my least favorite. No memorable songs, barely there plot and completely off-the-wall developments. We already have the girls ponying up when they play music or show their true selves. Now they have super powers? Total gimmick from Hasbro to sell more EG dolls before Christmas. The geodes reminded me of the elements of harmony...but then...what is Sunset's? This movie had a lot of potential...but it was a bit of a letdown.There are enough unanswered questions to warrant another film...hopefully better than this one. And please, please, please. If they make another film. Please develop better songs.
