I spent a while debating whether I should give this film 9 or 10 stars. In the end, I decided to give it a perfect score, and here is the main reason why. I had an absolute blast throughout the entirety of the movie, and there was nothing that had me feeling disappointed or wishing a scene was over. It pulls you right in with a riveting pace and hilarious humor, and the entire movie is loaded to the brim with jokes that had myself and the whole audience laughing. I know everyone has a different sense of humor, but for me, it had me laughing until I was crying!

That is not the film's only good point, though. The action is fun to watch and never even begins to get boring. It doesn't take up an excessive portion of the movie, but the action scenes ARE creative and entrancing to watch. Some of my favorite scenes were getting a POV of Sonic running, and any scene in which the world was in slow motion while Sonic was at top speed.

There is some emotion to the movie and and a theme anyone can relate to: Loneliness, being an outcast, and fear of abandonment. Oddly the movie didn't make me cry, only shed a tiny tear, despite me being easily moved by fiction. But I do admit a few scenes were very touching and I felt my heartstrings being tugged at very strongly.

A lot of people say Jim Carrey stole the show but Sonic himself was the most fun to watch on screen in my opinion.

People are going to compare this to Detective Pikachu. Though I loved that movie, I have no doubt that Sonic is the superior movie. I could rewatch Sonic again and again because it doesn't rely on twists. Detective Pikachu was boring to me on the second watch. Also, the human characters in Sonic are far more appealing and have way better acting.

A few more thoughts. I was happy to see that the humans don't take the spotlight away from Sonic the Hedgehog. Even with small roles, most of them were enjoyable characters. You shouldn't expect any twists or a complicated plot in the movie; the fun and thrill of what's going on more than makes up for it. It is pure fun and can appeal to anyone and sometimes that's all a family film needs to be in order to be its best.

Kids will love it. Sonic fans will love it. Everyone else should have a great time, ESPECIALLY if you're a child at heart. It put me in an amazing mood that I'm sure will last with me for a while. Go watch the movie expecting nothing more than to have a BLAST and laugh, and you won't be disappointed. Depending on who you are, the movie will likely exceed those expectations too. :)

I think they did a good job with this. The design of Sonic so so much better than the one featured in the trailer. It baffles me how they thought the original design was ok. It looked like a child's drawing of something they had seen in a nightmare.

The relationship between Sonic and James Marsden is super cute too and you'd do become invested in it.

It is very much a kids movie but it's nice for older people to see as it's filled with nostalgia from the Sonic games. There are plenty of little Easter eggs that people who have played the game will notice.

This movie is also really charming. It has lines that are funny too.

So I would watch it especially if you have any interest in Sonic I don't think you will be disappointed or frustrated at what they have done with the property.

When I saw the original trailer I was genuinely horrified in Sonic's design, like a person in bad cosplay. After the redesign many like myself felt the need to support this movie to honour the fan service and genuine care. I'm sure glad that I did. A funny movie, Jim Carrey was amazing like always and of course Sonic looked great. A very fun movie for the whole family.
