The little blue alien who can sprint quicker than the speed of light has ironically benefited from slowing it down, taking a pit stop to retool and emerge this month as a total crowd-pleaser.
With the energy of a Saturday morning cartoon that comes and goes, Fowler’s movie entertains and sneaks in a message about feeling sad, alone, and unmoored. It’s not for longtime Sonic fans, but it’s guaranteed to be someone’s nostalgic favorite in the year 2038.

The Sonic movie is how a video game movie is supposed to be and it worked to perfection with amazing actors, an entertaining story, and emotional storytelling.
Report
Una película muy entretenida, que supo redirigir y adaptar uno de los personajes más carismáticos de los videojuegos a la gran pantalla, con unas actuaciones increíbles de Jim Carrey. Está llena de referencias a los videojuegos de Sonic, a SEGA y a la cultura pop de los 90s. Una película capaz de entretener a personas de todas las edades sin importar que sean o no fans del personaje azul. Una película apta para todos los públicos y que consiguió establecerse como una de las mejores adaptaciones de una franquicia de videojuegos al cine. Si has jugado algun juego de Sonic y te gustó, debes ver esta película. Te dará un golpe de nostalgia turbo sónico de buen rollo.

The movie was partially shot in beautiful British Columbia. And Carrey brings a madcap mashup of his previous avatars to this turn as Dr. Robotnik.
The movie’s real joy, if there is any, lies with Carrey fully embracing his ’90s rubberface days. Director Jeff Fowler makes the right decision by letting Carrey’s signature madness loose on such a vanilla scoop of family entertainment.
If the rest of Sonic the Hedgehog were pitched at Carrey’s energy level, it could at least be distracting. But for such a short movie (it runs 99 minutes with extensive credits), and especially for one about a super-speedy fellow, it never builds momentum.
Throughout, any and all subtext is buried under the weight of Jim Carrey’s mugging.
This wasn’t a movie, it was a boardroom meeting with some poor hapless dreamer strapped to the “directed by” credit like a keelhauled sailor punished for his idealism.
Mid, The story is very simple and is a very simple introduction to sonics movies, Its not bad but it is just not very connected to the story of sonic, Im glad it exists but the second movie is just better in everyday. I like it tho.

I remember SomecallmeJohnny review of Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric where he stated "It's not a sonic game, it's a game with sonic characters" Just replace the word game with movie and that sums up this movie. 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.
Report
As an adaptation it offers very little to a Sonic fan, there are none are any outstanding creative visual effects or Sonic's characteristic "cool" attitude. Jim Carrey goes all out as Eggman and i think is the only enjoyable part of the movie. Its a made-by-comitee movie with a Sonic twist.
