I'd say RR is much more watchable than the first. But only because I'm sure most people, myself included, would rather watch a battle of the bands plot over Teen Drama "main character needs to win Prom Queen". (Badly written Teen Drama at that.)

That, and at the very least the music was decent if not pretty good. (Which it should've been, since the whole thing is about music…)

But it's just as bad, if not worse than the first specifically because it has all the same problems (As I've pointed out above.) and makes no attempts to fix them. Hell, Flash is just shoehorned into the story for no reason, just because. As if out of spite…

Am I the only one imagining Flash Sentry getting killed in an elaborate trap and Fluttershy murdering everyone with arrows?
