Sonic the Hedgehog

This eponymous blue ericaceous critter can run like the wind and then turn himself into a projectile that can pack quite a punch. This isn't so normal on his home planet of "Mobius" so he is despatched to the more peaceable climes of Earth where he will hopefully just settle in. Despite the fact that there isn't exactly a surfeit of blue hedgehogs on this planet, he seems to fit into his small town American society and befriends "Tom" (James Marsden) readily enough. Being young and enthusiastic, he hasn't quite ma...

"Sonic the Hedgehog" was an enjoyable film; it has funny moments, good shots, and they did Sonic justice. It had good music too; I just want to point that out in an awkward location in the review. Jim Carrey was a good Dr. Robotnik; I enjoyed his scenes, and I enjoyed how he played him. The flossing, ya know? The dance? Why does Sonic do it twice? Yeah, you heard me, TWICE??? Other than that, I can't wait to see the second film. I swear to God, if Tails or someone in the damn film flosses, I will cry.

Very good film for milineals

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. This is surprisingly good, and I went in with really low expectations. Sonic has a long and very weird fanbase, along with a series of weird, weird choices in game designs. The concept is very forced, but once you get past that and into actual Sonic content, it is actually a lot of fun.

My roommate is a **huge** Sonic fan, and she loved it. I never really cared for the games as a kid, but I liked them a lot more than I did this movie. _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._

Cute, family-friendly, comedy that's entertaining enough and sees Jim Carrey back in whacky, over-the-top form that's been missing the past decade plus it seems, and he works so well in this kind of film. Nothing innovative and the visual effects are hit or miss, however Sonic's design was well done (so thankfully the initial version was scrapped and redone from scratch). **3.5/5**
