Anyone think critics will ironically be less critical of the movie than fans of the show?
Think about it. Critics will be judging it as a movie on its own, while fans of the show will be judging it as an MLP movie.
The brony fandom is notoriously critical, so they'll be going "The plot was taken from this episode! This character is OOC! What's Starlight doing here? This is an insult to Lauren Faust's vision!"
A lot of critics, on the other hand, won't be familiar with the show, so what will matter to them is if the plot and characterization is good on its own. And given that one of the writers worked on Mulan and Toy Story 2, it probably will have a pretty good plot and characterization. So they'll probably enjoy it more than the bronies do. (Even if there are a few critics who hate it simply for being a toy-driven film.)
EDIT: Here's a good example of what I'm talking about. Remember when I pointed out how people keep accusing Tempest of looking like an edgy OC? Well, mainstream audiences aren't going to be familiar with such OCs, so they're just going to see her as a traditional villain design, not an edgy OC design.
