Why does this cheap, forgettable garbage have an 8.3? The story was lazily predictable, the jokes were painfully unfunny, and the concept of "unwilling adventure buddies" has been done to death! Shake things up and do something new for once,Why does this cheap, forgettable garbage have an 8.3?

If we suppose the youngest fan of Sonic when his games were remotely good was about 4 when Sonic Adventure 2 came out, that person is turning 23 this year.

If we suppose the oldest fan of Sonic when his games were remotely good was about 40 when the first came out, that person is turning 69 years old this year. That said, this is a movie that is targeting 23-69-year-olds but which you need to be no older than five or so to appreciate.… Expand

If you're a SEGA fanboy or 7 years old, then you'll probably enjoy it. If you're neither of these things then it's a crass, pointless and ultimately cringe-worthy waste of time.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sonic the Hedgehog is boring. The plot has a terrible pace, which I would chock up to the introduction of elements that are not given adequate time to stew and thus feel shallow or, in some cases, just plain confusing. Why do they bother creating an original “mother figure” character in the form of some owl just to kill her off after three minutes and never mention her again? When she created the portal to send Sonic to Earth so he would be safe from the army that was after him, why didn’t she go with? The army wasn’t after her and she got taken out by a single arrow, so am I to believe she held them ALL back so Sonic could escape? How did Sonic’s human companions surprise him by redecorating their attic to resemble the cave he grew up in while he was hiding on Earth? Sonic never mentions it to anyone. When did they have time to go retrieve Sonic’s belongings without him knowing? How does Tails show up on Earth looking for Sonic when it is stated by the owl mother that Sonic has to stay hidden? I get that he goes out anyway, but I can’t imagine he had much time to make friends given his situation. Besides, Sonic is sent to Earth as a young child and we aren’t even given a glimpse of Tails before he shows up at the end in a bit of poorly implemented fan service. So the plot stinks, but the biggest injustice is that the writers take absolutely zero advantage of the property they’re writing for. Whether you’re a fan of Sonic games or Sonic memes, there is little here to excite. Ben Schwartz does say “Gotta go fast” in a rather anticlimactic fashion, and they do briefly show that terrible Sonic drawing but, beyond those things, we just get references to modern culture. Sonic flosses and makes a joke about Amazon and Find My Phone. In a more canonical sense, the movie pulls very little inspiration from Sonic’s history and is too wrapped up with presenting its own stupid ideas. Sonic can travel to different places, be they cities or planets, by using rings to create portals. Why not replace those with the Chaos Emeralds, which have been used in established canon to enable teleportation by way of Chaos Control? Sonic loses one of his quills early on, which Robotnik finds and uses to enhance his own machinery. Why not use the Chaos Emeralds, which Robotnik uses throughout established canon to power up his machinery? Sonic has this “ultimate form” type thing where he wants to protect his friends so he gets all epic and flashy and has lightning and junk and becomes super powerful. Thing is, Sonic already has a super form. It’s called Super Sonic and he attains this form by, say it with me now, using the god damn Chaos Emeralds. This team of inept writers utterly fail to understand what Sonic fans of all kinds enjoy about the franchise.

Also, the main dude and his girlfriend adopt Sonic as their weird blue alien son at the end of the movie. I don’t remember anyone’s name because they’re all extremely forgettable characters.

Jim Carrey was not a good choice for Robotnik. The kids in my particular audience didn’t laugh at a single thing he said.

The writers don’t understand the theoretical physics of slow-motion. It is very annoying to watch.

The entire movie is very annoying to watch.… Expand

The relationship of sonic and Tom was stupid, they because besties in like no time, the Jim Carey dance number was ridiculous, the chemistry between Tom and his wife was so unbelievably bad it felt like they were divorced. The whole movie was so bad it was laughable. Me and my friend were literally audibly laughing at this garbage. I've played a few sonic games, never been a huge fan, but this made me never want to touch that property again.… Expand

This is awful, with the new politics of dubbing everything, they put youtube blogger "luisitocomunica" only to attract young audiences, oblivious trash, but in fact the movie does good on "SANIC" references, but overal is a waste of money. iThis is awful, with the new politics of dubbing everything, they put youtube blogger "luisitocomunica" only to attract young audiences, oblivious trash, but in fact the movie does good on "SANIC" references, but overal is a waste of money. i made this account jus to use the score… Expand

This movie is generic at best and just all around bad. The creators clearly don't take the Sonic the Hedgehog character seriously.

The creators clearly don't take the Sonic the Hedgehog character seriously. Not to worship old iconography, but everything about the character's personality is changed and the changes are all for the worse. Likely this project was green-lit via a "lets max profit" business project, instead of letting any real artists have a take on this beloved character.

I'm also glad COVID-19 is here to knife generic film projects like this for the foreseeable future.… Expand
