Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

eternities22 Bronies are, inarguably, the most hated fandom of all time. Almost two and half years have passed since the airing of the once ordinary and innocent cartoon that they are so hopelessly obsessed with, having now been transformed into an unavoidable, interminable Internet plague, and over this relatively short period of time, bronies have managed to, through a huge number of ways, establish themselves as the definitive example of what a truly disastrous fandom looks like. And indeed, it is an absolutely disastrous cult following. From the very day they crawled out of their filthy 4chan nest it was inevitable that bronies would become what they have become: a ridiculous, asinine and highly disturbing religious movement and a massive laughing stock that only the ignorant can take seriously.And so in a pathetic and futile attempt to force people to understand them, bronies decided to create a documentary all about their special little fandom. And in doing so, bronies have only proved, via footage, just how bizarrely arrogant and insultingly immature they are when it comes to explaining themselves. This is a documentary aimed at bronies and bronies only; it's nothing more than a notorious piece of shameless propaganda, a silly celebration of the fandom that they adore so much, intending to make bronies look like prominent world-revolutionising heroes when, in reality, bronies are just a big, dumb, Internet fandom built around a television show aimed at primary school children. Now, I haven't watched this documentary all the way through and I certainly don't plan to, but based upon the documentary trailer and various clips of it that I tortured myself viewing (and not to mention the various other negative reviews that this documentary has earned), I can safely conclude that the whole thing stands as another fantastic example of why the MLP:FIM fandom is the worst to have ever arisen in history.But why exactly is the documentary so bad? Mainly because this documentary is a biased joke that has brought the fandom to an even lower level than it was already at before. Not only does it joyously skip over all of hundreds of bad aspects to the brony fandom (namely the immense amount of diabolical adult content that the fandom gratuitously puts into the fandom experience every single day), but it also (in one of the various clips that I sat through) deliberately bashes the original My Little Pony toys and television shows, and in doing so, bashes franchise creator Bonnie Zacherle. I mean, you couldn't make this up. The documentary literally bashes the very person who brought this now ruined children's franchise into fruition in the first place. The song doesn't explicitly say anything against Zacherle, but by harshly criticising the roots of their stupid little horsey cartoon, bronies have confirmed true the notion that they're a big bunch of egotistical, uncaring hyper-nerds who believe that only their opinion is valid.And this is just the tip of the iceberg. On top of all the laughable arrogance, the documentary features plenty of sexism, sob-stories and selfishness to make the experience like watching something you would see on TLC. It tries to justify the hypocrisy of bronies treating a cartoon as a way of life, and fails miserably because it's just too obnoxiously immature to accept. There is really no point in watching such a stupid, creepy film, especially since it's about a fandom that has become so despised throughout the world, as it can only increase such an intense hatred for them. None of the various parts of this film I viewed inspired me; they only infuriated me. It's a documentary created simply to boost the colossal brony ego whilst alienating everyone else in the process, and in no way welcomes the attention of anybody who isn't mentally dependant on multi-coloured ponies to progress through life. Its very existence is evidence that the fandom is so desperate for outside attention and so endlessly hungry for praise and acceptance that it will inexorably march onward to its doom.
Commander Hurricane This documentary does an excellent job describing what the brony community is like. A lot of it is from the view of other bronies, but you get to see or hear a lot of what other people think.There's no shortage of heartwarming moments, and plenty of funny situations as well. The animations made for this documentary are very professional and look like something out of the show itself, not to mention the music that fits so fluidly with the animation.They did a great job capturing the real antics of the bronies who were interviewed during the documentary. It didn't feel like they had a camera crew following around.In all, it's a pretty entertaining documentary and also pretty informative even to bronies, but you certainly don't have to be a brony to enjoy and learn a lot from this film.
firestonex-607-651299 The Brony Documentary was well worth my purchase. As a 26 year old brony myself, I enjoyed seeing interviews from Tara Strong and John De-Lancie, as well as the convention coverage. The video is 90 minutes but seemed to go by faster than I wanted.It has some good song choices included, especially in the closing credits.Although I enjoyed it very much, it is not without its flaws. For starters, some of the people interviewed were probably not the best. The documentary put to much emphasis, on being an outcast, and didn't really focus on the fact that most bronies are just normal people.Being a brony doesn't make you an outcast, or hated by you're community. Well, obviously that is the case for some. But for many, it's about just getting together and having a good time.The Political/social aspect that was included really was uneasy to watch. John De-Lancie and others have always tried to justify guys liking MLP by making some sort of political, or social statement about the country... That just isn't really the case. It's just a good show with amazing fans who do amazing things.I wish the documentary would have focused on the "everyman." more so than they did. Though, I could see how that would have come across as boring to a viewer.Another issue I had, is that it should have spent way more time talking about the creative side of the fandom. The music, art, and everything in between is the best I've ever seen out of any fandom. But it was only lightly touched on in the film.If you are a brony, then I would highly recommend this. It is a good film, however, if you are not a brony, then I doubt this film will change your opinion much.. You know what might though.. Watch the show.. Sit down alone.. Spend 9 hours total on 1 or 2 weeks, and watch the entire first season from start to finish.There are more memes than I can count from that season alone. Surf youtube and google for image macros, music videos, and animation parodies...Like I said, I'm 26. I first watched the show after learning about it through thatguywiththeglasses and Death Battle.I rolled my eyes and said to myself I can't believe I'm watching this... And you know what. After the embarrassment went away, all that was left was the amazing feeling of seeing an incredible show.Check out this film.. It probably won't change your opinion if you are not a brony, but at least it does confirm one internet saying..."Haters gonna hate, Bronies gonna party"
