Why does this have a +8 audience score? It wasn’t as bad as everyone thought, but it was far from good. It had predictable tropes and plots, and was overall generic. The only genuinely great part was Ben Swartz having a blast voice acting as Sonic.

In fact, I feel quite comfortable in saying that 8-10 year old me would have really treasured this movie. It's bright, well-paced and effervescent in spirit. You get to see Jim Carrey try his damnedest to conjure up the 90's version of himself that we all fell in love with. There's some humor that works. All of the aforementioned attributes are eons further than what I expected we'd get, and I suppose that's worthy of note. That being said, though, it's far from a perfect product. In fact, the mere presence of that word -- "product" -- in this review is a bit of a Freudian slip, I'm afraid. I understand it's hard to hide the inherent bankability of a movie when it's about one of the most iconic video game characters of all time, but I could have done without the three or four scenes of brand placement strewn about the picture. Also, you'll notice above that I said, "there's some humor that works," with the keyword in that sentence being "some." A lot of the jokes will go over well with kids (see the "floss," farts, etc.) but I'm betting most adults will grow tired of that and the material that's supposed to be geared more towards them, namely the pop culture references. Again, it's imperfect, but I'm a bit surprised at how watchable, nay, enjoyable a lot of it ended up being. Expand

As far as the Sonic redesign, that was an intentional marketing gimmick.

That said, there are moments that made me crack a smile and even laugh out loud a handful of times. 90% of these good moments come from Jim Carrey. You can tell Carrey's having a lot of fun in this role. He definitely knows what this movie is and he fully embraces the eccentric mad scientist role of Robotnik, coming through with 0 cringe-inducing jokes, lines, or scenes. I cannot say the same for Sonic or James Marsden's cop character. If you plan on seeing this, you will need to fully turn off your brain to enjoy it. Characters regularly make decisions and statements that don't make any sense and Sonic% speed is underutilized at several points purely in service of the plot. In its defense, the movie absolutely does not ask to be taken seriously. Unfortunately that still doesn't stop huge logical inconsistencies from breaking the illusion and immersion of it all. Sonic The Hedgehog is a dumb fun romp that doesn't quite overstay its welcome. Expand

And I was pleasantly surprised! I was going in thinking this was going to be another cringey "Cartoon characters from my childhood are thrown into live action, modern society and (attempts at) hilarity ensue." Similar to "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and "The Smurfs." And Sonic was KINDA like one of those movies, but it was by far the most well executed of that kind of film.

“Sonic the Hedgehog” has a bit more charm than the aforementioned movies and it’s a movie that both a veteran Sonic fan and a newcomer can enjoy! Jim Carrey was excellent as Doctor Robotnik, it felt like I was watching him in his wacky 90’s days! James Marsden was actually pretty funny, not to mention REALLY fun to look at!

The positives:
-The visual effects and everything were pretty good, including Sonic's more faithful redesign.
-Sonic and the rest of the cast are very entertaining, although clearly Ben Schwartz's Sonic and Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik are more interesting to me than the other characters (for obvious reasons).
-The origin story of Sonic adds something new to him that really makes you feel for him during both his best and worst moments throughout the adventure.

The negatives:
-Some characters either don't have a legitimate reason to be there or feel like they have too much going on. Carrey as Robotnik especially fits the latter, although I haven't seen much of Jim Carrey in a long while, so that may just be me.
-The plot, while still pretty decent, is just as cliched and predictable--if not rushed at times--as some critics have said. And very rarely, if ever at all, are the tropes involved played around with. This movie needed either an additional re-write or two, or at least been given a longer running time (not like Avengers: Endgame, but maybe more like the first Avengers).

Overall, this movie was a lot of fun for me. I'd say this is definitely worth seeing with the kids.

Sonic The Hedgehog is not bad by any means, but it's nowhere near spectacular. The movie is nothing but a hodgepodge of disarray resulting from placing a video game character into an alternate reality. That's it. It's incongruous with the franchise and lacks any depth necessary for it to be considered a decent film. I give major props to Paramount for redesigning Sonic, but was the effort worth it if they could only pump out a film equal in quality to the initial character's design? Expand

This film adaptation of Sega's most well-known video game franchise is firmly placed in "okay" ground; neither terrible nor amazing.

The plot here is that Sonic (who in the film looks mostly good, although his eyes are separated which is a letdown); an alien hedgehog who has the power of super speed, escapes to Earth for his own safety, then lives a solitary life. However, a series of events lead to him being discovered and pursued by the evil Dr. Robotnik, who wants to use his super speed powers. Thus, Sonic teams up with a cop to escape Robotnik and get back to safety.

First of all, I feel that putting Sonic on Earth was a missed opportunity plot-wise that makes the film as a whole seem rather generic and uninventive. A plot that saw him visiting more of the vibrant areas of the games would have made for a more interesting and engaging film. Instead, we're left with a rather generic "normal guy helps mischievous talking animal" story.

In addition to that, the film clearly sees children as its main audience. Plot developments are very predictable, and the injection of a specific current pop culture trend (not once, but twice) is in my opinion a bad move that will cause the film to age quickly.

However, there are good points. Robotnik is played very well, seeming faithful to the games while putting a new spin on the character. The use of rings as portals is a nice touch. Sonic's quips are generally funny. Emotional moments, while predictable, seem genuine.

Ultimately, this is fine to watch. It's not bad, but it's not particularly good either. Still, I think the Sonic franchise has more film potential, and I hope that's tapped into with a potential sequel.

We all thought Assassin Creed was going to destroy the curse of terrible video game adaptations, but this blue hedgehog sure did.

You know what stuck with me the most was how Sonic says he has watched the 1994 action movie 'Speed' loads of times, so does that mean he witnessed Dennis Hopper getting decapitated on endless repeat? Or how about Beth Grant being run over by a bus? Makes you think sometimes.

Anywhere...not a great movie, but man this could have been so much worst. I am glad the studios listened to fans and changed that revolting character design on Sonic. It is just too bad that the animates were laid off after the studio was closed. Yikes.

Jim Carry, even at the age of 58, has not lost that chaotic energy. Robotnik's dance scene was easily the highlight. What is more impressive is Carry improvised the dance scene and recommended the song "Where Evil Grows". James Marsden sure does love cgi animals. I guess this completes the trilogy. 'Enchanted', 'Hop', and now 'Sonic'. Still likable and talented though. So yeah, it's an average family adventure comedy that never failed to entertain. This is coming from a guy who is not a diehard fan of the character or game series, but still found some enjoyment out of it.

If you want to see a Jim Carrey with the old vestiges of his beginnings, well here's an option.

If you're looking for something else, you will not find it here and incidentally you're deceiving yourself.

Although it only remains to ask if the film had still worked with the public and the critics without the change of image that Sonic had. Because as far as I know there was no change in the story.

Food for thought.

I guess maybe I wasn't really in the prime demographic for this movie, as I am not a huge Sonic fan despite playing and enjoying some of the games. I think Sonic fans could get a kick out of it, but I'm not really sure since the movie had barely anything to do with the actual Sonic games.

The rest of this film can be marked up to poorly veiled marketing (seriously, stop talking about the Olive Garden) and nonsense driven plot points. Without spoiling anything, in the trailer it reveals Sonic being able to be so fast that he can take the time to yawn and tap his foot when dozens of missiles are aimed directly at him yet he is able to be shot by a tranquilizer dart. Take that "logic" and apply it to the rest of the script and you'll understand what kind of writing we're dealing with. Expand

The real main character is the Generic White Everyman, Tom. Jim Carrey does pretty well, but the screenwriters tried way to hard to make his character "plausible" in the world, and all it did was distract from what makes Robotnik great. All his gadget have this kind of "realism" to them, which wasn't really welcome. This movie is made up of 3 elements that all work better on their own.
I don't really recommend this, it fails to deliver anything beyond what you'd expect from a Generic IconicCharacter Cash-Grab.

I finally got around to watching it, and I have very mixed opinions. Sonic is just really, really annoying- I expected something more like the Sonic Boom TV show Sonic. Instead, he's just annoying and not very likeable. The movie is very obviously aimed at kids, but there is some fan service in there and I can appreciate that. My favourite scene out of the entire movie has to be the bar fight scene, that was really funny. I really feel like the movie doesn't go into much detail about who Dr Robotnik actually is and his origin story. Or why Sonic refers to him as Eggman. There really isn't much substance storywise, which is why I hope we get a prequel or sequel as the post-credit scene hints at. Overall, major disappointment, but a pretty decent film for a video game movie. Expand

The quality of video game adaptations hasn’t exactly been very high over the years, but this is arguably one of the better attempts. It doesn’t exactly do anything original, but the action sequences are fairly good and there are some laughs to be had. Expand

Sonic is done alright but the writing in this film is pretty abysmal. Carrey is okay.

I especially want to single out Carrey because he was the clear star of the movie and made it that much better to watch. My biggest issue with the film is the absolute failure to do anything unique or offer anything that stands out. Pretty much the entire movie is spoiled by the trailers so that I feel took away from it a lot as well.

I really wouldn't mind seeing a sequel but they really have to step it up.

Outside of the novelty of seeing Sonic and Jim Carrey as Eggman, nothing really sticks out. Except for the large amount of plot holes. It's very generic without much references to the games. I would say it is slightly above average. But even for sonic fans, this might not be that exciting. The only real reason I would recommend this is for Sonic Movie 2. Expand

Free Screenings FTW, am I right?

Oh, how I love expecting a movie to be fun, only for that to still finish itself in a pleasant surprise... I actually kinda loved the Sonic movie. Yes, THE Sonic movie that suffered in production hell that is also (luckily) making its money back at the Box Office.

But it also confirms that Paramount is in serious need of "original" content inside some Franchise fare, in an era post-MI: Fallout. BumbleBee succeded for ET-ing the franchise in hopes of a good Transformers movie, while Terminator Dark Fate (which I still love) "Force Awakened" itself in making a movie we've all seen before.

Enter now Sonic The Hedgehog, which has nothing surprising in store for everyone, and uses (once again) its ET structure purely to please all families, instead of being A true Videogame Movie. At the same time, though, it's a weird mix. As if Spielberg asked for some drugs by SEGA, and ended up making a "supposed" sequel to ET that is so rushed and so fast (which makes sense in a way for the titular character), it's hard to get a break and pause itself, and when it does, it's both in the most random of places and tries to give the movie some heart. The breaks reek so much of a 90s movie, it's kinda unintentionally hilarious.

What also makes up for its similarity is the comeback of Jim Carrey as his "normal" self (oh, and also Dr. Robotnik, but who really cares about him, I guess?). Dear God, how I missed his crazy self in a theatrical release is just like how I missed seeing Joe Pesci in theaters. His Robotnik didn't really work for me that much, as he plays the 2000's Villain we've seen in Superhero Movies like Hulk or Fantastic 4 (he's a Villain...because!!)

And what really shocked me in a sense (besides the new design)... Junkie XL's Score. Going from Alita and Terminator to Sonic really gives you shock values, heh...

So... that's that! Sonic is monstrously fun, and to think about that is like thinking there's an alternate universe where Troll And I was actually a really good videogame... Oh, wait. That doesn't exist, and it's for good

Jim Carrey isThe Sonic the Hedgehog movie is incredibly fun to watch with friends and yeah it’s basically one big meme but looking at the film from an objective standpoint, it’s meh. It’s some dumb fun to turn your brain off for an hour for. Jim Carrey is unsurprisingly the best part of the film. He brings so much charm and humor to his performance that it’s almost impossible to take your eyes off him once he appears on screen. He goes back to his 90’s comedic approach which is just do crazy things which work for his character. It’s nice to see him go back to his roots. The rest of the performances are fine. They aren’t terrible but they aren’t great either. They are perfectly fine for what they were given. The humor is very hit or miss. I found some jokes and transitions funny while I cringed at others. The film does take memes and inserts them into the movie such as Keanu Reeves and Sanic which I enjoyed. Most of the humor comes from unintentional jokes. Some of the lines of dialogue are so bad that they are hilarious. Speaking of dialogue, the script is really meh. It wasn’t completely awful but it wasn’t that great. The technical aspects of the film were pretty bland too. The cinematography, editing, and production design were all pretty bland and boring. The visual effects were very mediocre. Sonic’s design is pretty good though. 100 times better than the original design but everything else using special effects looks fine or not great. There are a couple of plot contrivances which were pretty dumb. Sonic can definitely just run to San Francisco with a map. He does not need to take a road trip. James Marsden’s character is labeled as a NATIONAL FUGITIVE yet no one recognizes him. He is able to get to the top of a building in San Francisco going through security with no disguise and no one notices. How do you not recognize a national fugitive? Although I had these issues, I was never bored. Sonic was able to keep me engaged throughout its hour and 40 minute runtime. Overall, Sonic the Hedgehog is really fun and Jim Carrey is great but its script and story elements don’t make it as great as I had hoped. It's ironically a 10/10 though. Expand

Not a die hard Sonic fan. I did play the games when I was young but not enough to remember any of the story lines. This movie is fun and caters to both young and adult audiences. I enjoyed it in the theater and own it on Blu Ray.

It was... alright, but story-wise it ain't nothin' special (pretty common for Sonic). Jim Carrey makes a pretty good Eggman (though he only looks the part at the end). The one thing that would've made me drop the score to a zero is Sonic doing the flossing thing from Fortnite. Not even the fart joke, the **** Fortnite dancing. As if the movie needed some reasons for me to hate it. When you resort to Fortnite "jokes" for laughs, you know you ain't **** when it comes to humor.

Also, Sonic isn't Flash nor Quicksilver (although comparable). He doesn't generate energy as he runs and he can't run so fast that time seems to stop so he can **** around with everyone or everything in the vicinity. Actually, there's a few times where he ain't even runnin' and time stops.

Anyway, the movie isn't meant to be taken seriously; it's just another Sonic continuity separate from all the other ones. I don't think they should make another one though.

A decent film in the context of friendship with the different, the other, the alien, impaired by the paradox that the protagonist Sonic is more credible than Dr. Robotnik, a Jim Carrey who exaggerates in the cartoonish.

To give credit where it is do, it felt great going into the film knowing that the team cared enough about the sonic fans to change the character designs from the ground up.

Overall the film was honestly not amazing. Instead of spinning a more exciting story, they opted for a cheaper film with very little in the way of sets, scenes and the like, and even the overall CGI was able to be toned down by having practical sets. I get it, they didn't have a big budget, so with what there was, it was not terrible. It just felt a bit generic.

Still, at the end of the day, I felt like I could just kick back and relax and watch something wholesome. sonic or no sonic, the story was simple and wholesome. In this cynical world, I just want to get away from it all and see a beloved videogame icon have a fun adventure. It delivered on that.

In the end I felt like I only got a small taste of what I really hoped for, this was more of a prologue than a real epic adventure and that is okay. But all I can say, is that I'm ready for the sequel that they very clearly are setting up for.

I take off most of my points for the shameless product placements. That took me out of the film hard, and brought me back to the world weary cynicism I was trying to escape. I can't even eat at olive garden, and if you think I have enough money to even think about browsing homes on zillow you are sorely mistaken.

Jim Carry felt like a blast from the past, and while I would have liked an actor to play robotnik like how his actual character is, it was passable for me, and the over the top goofy aspect appealed to my love of Ace Ventura, thinking I'd never see such acting from him again.

I'm not a huge sonic fan or a film watcher, but I can easily say this film made me crack a small smile for once. So with that I suggest it.

NOTE: Despite what I say in this review, I still recommend that you see this movie if you love Sonic.

TLDR: Amazing CGI and action scenes. An okay, but family friendly script (didn't expect anything deep). Eggman = GOOD. Sonic = If your a fan that grew up with the games, this characterization of Sonic WILL disappoint you. Soundtrack is by far the worst part of the film. For Sonic, this is a horrible score and the reason the movie is a 6 to me. Sonic has some of the most iconic songs in the gaming industry. Expertly produced, performed, written music put together in a studio. The orchestral route was absolutely the wrong choice for a Sonic movie. Overall this movie isn't what long-time fans like myself wanted. I want sequels, but I want the next film to accurately represent the source material, and not bastardize it. Honestly, I'm just happy Sonic is in the spotlight, but I expect better.

One of the most confusing of these scenes was the first, Who is Sonic's carer / mother and where did she come from? Why isn't she a hedgehog instead of an owl? Etc.
But I am grateful for some changes that had been made for the film otherwise it would've clearly gotten terrible ratings and scared children
