Don't listen to the bad reviews, their just older people that can't accept change. Their stuck in the past and don't want to move forward. Yes gen 4 was your childhood but your childhood is over.
Anyways the movie just leaves you with questions and gets you excited to know what happened. Like where's flurry heart or Celestia and Luna. Or why they're magic is centred around those gems. Also how much time has passed and why they're divided again.
As an older kid i get that this made people mad that there wasn't much explanation but that's the whole point. If they explained everything and then made series, there probably won't be that excitement anymore. Also the movie is meant for the new generation of kids.
