I actually thought it was pretty good. Reminds of some old school 90s kid movies for some reason

Once Sonic started saying the talking Owl was like his Obi Wan Kenobi I turned the movie off instantly. What stupid horseshit

I'm curious, what would you have preferred? I thought it was dumb too but I went in expecting dumb.

I really liked the movie and I agree the initial part is not easy to watch. Just too much Disney-like.
After that, everything went fine.

The Sonic movie might actually be good?

More or less. Sonic was a medium movie.

 

[RaptorGTA]

i really enjoyed it. The kids loved it. Ill own it when it comes out.

It's now officially the biggest game-based movie in North American history:

‘Sonic The Hedgehog’ Just Raced Past A Major Box Office Milestone

'Sonic the Hedgehog' is now the biggest video-game-based movie ever in terms of unadjusted domestic grosses.

honesty thought it was garbage

pretty sure i slept through half of ,it or just nothing much happened

 

[Gavin Stevens]

Watched it yesterday, and not gonna lie, really enjoyed it.

 

[KormaChameleon]

Watched it not too long ago. I enjoyed it! Loved Carrey's performance.

 

[Malcolm9]

Great film, some people are way too serious, just turn your brain off and enjoy it.

 

[KiteGr]

I saw the movie today.

It was horrible!
I'm a fan of animations, and watch lots of supposed "kids cartoons" but this movie was so by the books, that I wouldn't be surprised if it was written by a robot.

 

[SoullessApples]

It was ight. Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. Good way to spend some time drinking fruit punch and eating popcorn.

What was horrible about it though? I think they did a pretty good job to be honest with it being a light hearted buddy movie. Jim Carrey was pretty decent as Robotnik as well.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

It's got a 64% on RT, and globally has sold $300 million.

Did great. And that was after getting delayed with the graphics overhaul.

I thought it was going to be another disastrous video game movie (R&C), but turned out well for them.

You don't get it. What is important is not watching the movie but seeing Sonic haters drowning in their own vomit after the hedghog crushed all video game movies ha ha ha

Would be awesome of Sega if they did a showing of it in PSO2 as a special event for everyone, similar to how Disney released Frozen II early on D+. I mean it's essentially made all the money its going to make at the box office.

 

[Thanati]

I took my kid to watch it and went in with zero expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed it, had some good laughs and walked out pleasantly happy.

[Thurible]

I saw it with a friend like a month ago. I personally didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. It was simply ok. My friend on the other hand absolutely despised it because of all the product placement (like olive garden and amazon for instance).

 

[Danjin44]

Best part of the movie....

Spoiler

Valkyria Chronicles hasn't been forgotten

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[its_Ditz]

nevermind ...

 

[Enjay]

It was just okay. That it wasn't just another completely horrible video game movie is why it's being overrated.

 

[MMaRsu]

nevermind ...

Aww now Im curious what you quoted and what u said

 

[waltyftmus Prime]

Worth a watch bump.

 

[Keihart]

Loved it. Couldn't have asked for a better live action one tbh.

I hope we get a sequel with Tails, the motivation of sonic needing a BFF is already in place.

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[GenericUser]

I watched it, sonic was adorable and really cool. 7/10. One of the better video game movies. Really recommend it. It's good fun while it lasts.

'Sonic the Hedgehog': Why Tails' surprise cameo is big as the 'remarkable' journey continues

"Sonic the Hedgehog," the movie, pulled the most impossible success from seeming disaster. That means Tails' surprise appearance is a big deal.

Agreed, I went into Sonic with low-expectations (like I did with Detective Pikachu), but was pleasantly surprised & thoroughly enjoyed both videogame films.

Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Previsualisation Shows Horrifying Early Sonic

The rudimentary animation shows the work that goes into CG-heavy blockbusters.
