The reason the tails voice is good is because it’s the tails voice actor from all the video games

[@tresrules16543]

Well, not all of them. Only since Sonic Colors & Sonic Free Riders in 2010.

[@scientistservant]

Tails has been the character with the most voice actors when it comes to the Sonic series. Back in the Adventure titles and Heroes he was voiced by three separate child VAs, but afterwards he began to be voiced by women. His current game VA provided his voice in the film as well.

[@Ultimaniacx4]

That's not a reason it would be good. Have you even heard him in Adventure 1 and 2?

[@tresrules16543]

@Kian You're right. My bad

[@ppvsonicspy]

@Kian Well, first of all. The current voice ACTRESS for Tails has only done like 5 games. And in Adventure, it was actually a kid that did his voice. In Adventure 1 it was Corey Bringas who did Tails' voice, while in Adventure 2 it was his brother, Connor Bringas, because he had gotten older so his voice was a bit deeper.

[@Blackhawk211]

I'm really surprised they didn't like this because they did like the first one and this was unilaterally better in every aspect in my opinion Maybe because Aaron wasn't here this time and he's the biggest Sonic fan of the group and would be able to point out all the care and love put into the movie

[@yiledute]

I wouldn't say better, the human aspect (Jim doesn't count as human here) is worse than in the first movie, way worse. And they didn't exactly liked the first movie, they said the same thing as they said here, that it was a dumb movie for kids, it made them laugh a little and had fun reacting to it, but as proper movies both are not great, and depending the perspective, they are not even good.

[@HellfireComms]

@@yiledute They're serviceable movies at worst. Just because there's a bunch of CGI creatures running around doesn't detract from that fact, nor does it remove character development, arcs, continuity and everything else that makes them "movies".

[@yiledute]

@@HellfireComms I never once mentioned CGI, that has nothing to do with my comment

[@daepappy]

@@HellfireComms Good job trying to argue for the sake of arguing

[@lordolxinator]

I do think Aaron not being here definitely tipped the scales. Rick tends to be quite cynical with a lot of stuff unless he has a preexisting bias towards it, and I think this could have done with Aaron pushing back a bit. Not saying Rick's recurring cynicism is a bad thing outright, there's a few times where it grounds the conversation, but in fun moments like this and a few other reactions (Battle of the Bastards for example) it just kills the hype when the audience and the others in BW are excitedly praising the cool moments then Rick's grumbling about how dumb and boring it was (yeah not gonna say BotB was great writing or whatever, but I enjoyed it for the hype it brought). I dunno, this one also felt like they were enjoying it a lot more throughout the reaction than they ended up saying they did afterwards.

[@LODintheshadows]

@@dlbyrd-gasca2730 I know yeah, there's something happening at all points. It's perfectly paced with action scenes, humour and some backstory and human moments. Okay mayyyyybe the wedding scene went on a bit too long lol but still, there was so much going on. If anybody has ever been a fan of sonic or has played a sonic game, they will love this movie. Even for those that don't know what or who sonic is, there's no reason not to like the movie.

[@sonicsega6]

The second he said this is one of the worst movies they've seen I was actually shocked, they seemed like they were liking it during the reaction

[@Blazecap]

I’m kinda sad you guys didn’t like the movie as much. I personally had a blast throughout the entire thing

[@kusogakirenfir]

I'll always love Blind Wave's deep cut reactions, but Rick can be such a wet blanket sometimes. It always surprises me how much people who watch this movie fail to acknowledge it's a movie catered to all ages, but most importantly including kids. They act like lighthearted moments and humor are the end all of film or something. Not everything has to be so serious.

[@BIGD-cc7ru]

Really sad to see they didn’t really like this movie compared to the first. Personally, I thought this move was better than the first in almost every single way. More sonic characters, more sonic lore, homages to past levels, action, emotion, and super sonic, along with shadow reveal at the end with the 3rd movie being much darker. Rick saying this is one of the worst movies ever made is a massive leap for this movie. Is this a great movie? No, as while I was fine with most scenes, some of the human scene were ridiculous that I can see why it brings it down. Sometimes the humor can be hit or miss, but I generally enjoyed most of them. But saying this is one of the WORST movies ever made? That’s just a really bad take, and I think everyone can agree on that. For being “childish” it talked about some darker themes than the first, like saying that not only is Longclaw confirmed dead, all of Knuckles’ kind is also dead, and that the master emerald can give someone power to rule the galaxy/universe, so the stakes are higher than the first. Really thought they would like this movie, since the stuff they kept in they seemed to enjoy it a lot. Sorted disappointed, but good reaction like always.

[@webbercoyote1926]

[@DarielChavezV.]

The movie is decent, if you remove the marriage scenes, this movie would be equal of the 1st one

[@harold3165]

You sound so salty lol. They didn't like the movie and that's fine. They're entitled to their opinion.

[@Crimson665]

I think this is a perfectly good movie. It’s ridiculous at times but it’s always intentional. From the dance off being the catalyst to Sonic and Tails becoming good friends, to Operation Catfish establishing G.U.N in the franchise to later bring in Shadow. The humor can be hit or miss but what sells this movie are the themes it presents and how it develops Sonic as a character.

[@ricardomartinez479]

I agree 👍

[@artsyomni]

I enjoyed the movie alright as a sort of lapsed Sonic fan, but I can't say it's good. =P I feel like too often, people give credit for intention, even if the intention is poorly carried out. Yes, the dance off serves as a means by which Sonic and Tails develop their bond, but there are countless better ways that they could have done that. But they chose a way that they know tracks with younger audiences in the most studio-driven, focus-groupy way possible. Yes, crashing a wedding did establish G.U.N., but in the strangest way possible that makes them look like a complete joke of an organization (which is probably the intention, but it requires a lot of suspension of disbelief). Of course, whether those things resonate with any given viewer is completely subjective. For me, I tolerate those choices rather than like them. As cartoonish as the writing choices are in this movie franchise, it really just makes me wish even more than they just made it an animated franchise, because then at least those choices would be more congruent with the presentation.

This movie is better than the first one imo because it actually brings in more stuff from the sonic games and truly makes it feel like a sonic movie rather than just a roadtrip movie with just sonic in it which is what the first one basically was

[@WolforNuva]

Yeah that was my (and many others from what I've seen) main complaint with the first movie, it was fun but it was just a movie with Sonic in it, nothing special. This time they actually made a Sonic movie, changing things in adaption so the story isn't the same as the games, but it still feels faithful and respectful to the source. I know I'm in the minority (at least the vocal minority) here, but I didn't even think the human scenes went on too long either. They were still short enough to keep me entertained through them, and it honestly would have felt out of place to use them any less since they were fully established in the first movie.

Like yeah, it's cool that he wants to keep his cast happy like that, but at the same they're there to make the best possible movie, so many movies have huge actors that have their scenes end up not even being in the film because the directors and editors realize that the scenes make the overall film worse, and it's better to preserve the quality of the film than keep some cast members happy.

I think expecting anything more from a Sonic movie is just a little foolish, the movie is obviously aimed towards a younger audience and the games themselves never took themselves particularly seriously. I will agree that some of the jokes were a little much, mainly some of the Robotnik ones where he kinda drifts for a while, not to mention the whole marriage plotline and dance-off... But for the most part I think the film's rather enjoyable and a heap of fun.

I actually think this is one of the best movies of the year.

I hope Eggman does come back, besides the people behind these movies clearly listened to what people wanted from Sonic movies and we got just that in this, as I did too.

[@puffosgamingoldchannel5992]

As a Sonic fan I personally really enjoyed this movie, even if it had some comedy that was more aimed for children I really enjoyed watching it as an adult. I liked the first movie and I thought it was good (despite the flossing), but I did enjoy the second movie better. I have no clue if that is because of the amount of references in this movie, the fact that they got the actual voice actress for Tails, or the fact that the Chaos emerald (or the master emerald) was in the movie. I just generally liked how it added to the plot of the movies. In the first movie we see Sonic learning to bring attention to himself and not hide in fear constantly and not to be lonely and make friends. He learnt to protect others. In the second movie we see that last part go to heart for him, trying to be a vigilante of sorts (I know he wants to be a hero but still, bringing the law into your own hands has always been a vigilante thing, even if you have powers), Sonic tries to be a hero and learns what it means to actually be a proper hero. He protects his friends, he protects the innocent. I love how they went with Eggman becoming more and more unstable as he was on a mushroom planet for several months, maybe even years (I don't really remember if they said that in the money though, was a while since I watched it). I love that they brought up Super Sonic into the last scenes of the movie, showcasing perfectly the power that the Chaos emeralds have. For Eggman it was destructive, for Sonic it was something else entirely. I understand others opinions about this movie though, like the wedding scene. Even if I did like the human involvement in this movie (what with the wedding scene and everything). I feel like the human involvement in the Sonic movies have always been nice because it adds a certain element to the movies like Sonic X did. Even if the humans never really appeared that much people have to understand that this movie is literally named Sonic the Hedgehog, it is supposed to focus more on Sonic himself, not his friends. Furthermore, the people who state the child humor threw it off for them, the Sonic franchise have always been for kids, it has never been for adults. You have literally never seen any characters die gruesomely in a Sonic game before, sure there have been some dark tones in Sonic games but they never really delved too far into those dark tones, always keeping them in the perfect zone for children. Also adding to this that Sonic has always been a laid back character that barely takes anything seriously in serious situations, he has always been comedic and childish. After stating all this, I would personally give my own opinion of this movie: It is amazing, sure not a masterpiece, but amazing. It was perfect for us Sonic fans and is definitely the best gaming movie franchise out there for me. Sure movies like Wreck it Ralph and Pixels exist, but they were never really that great in my eyes, they were just good movies in general but not amazing. For the people who took time reading this long comment (sorry about that, I love writing paragraphs of text) thank you very much for taking time off of your day to read this comment, have a nice day.

I'm always surprised at how these 2 movies are so much better than they should be. I can't decide if it bugs me or tickles me that this film seems to take a break from being a Sonic movie and decides to be a Disney Channel quality romantic comedy for a bit, then remembers it's a video game film again. I swear Operation Catfish is one of the hardest, least expected left turns I've experienced in a movie.

[@MadMax-ii8gq]

I’m surprised they didn’t like it that much. I loved this movie especially the battles like the Death Egg mech showdown at the end. Jim Carrey’s Robotnik was of course hilarious the whole time as well. Yeah I concede some parts like the dance off are just dumb (but meant to be) and the wedding scene dragged on too long making the audience feel like they are watching another movie. Overall though it’s a lot of fun.

[@blinkachu5275]

I think if you don't like this movie, you're kind of out of touch with your inner child. It's not a "great movie" as in, thought provoking with stellar writing and acting, but for a Sonic movie, that isn't necessary. Sonic is a character that's fast, likes to explore and save people, and knock on Robotnik/Eggman. Knuckles is a naïve warrior that trusts too easily and puts honor and respect above everything. Tails is a gadgeteer that was bullied for his two tails and never really had a friend. Robotnik is a backstabbing genius idiot that wants to take over the world. This movie shows that PERFECTLY. Like to a fucking T. The one thing that detracts slightly is that the wedding stuff goes on a bit too long but as it is setup for not only the finale, but also for G.U.N. existing which leads to the reveal of Shadow existing, I think it also deserves a pass. It's not like it wasn't funny.

[@toonman5099]

Kind of sad y'all didn't enjoy this movie, I will admit it was a lot of silly fun, but it was pretty faithful to the series as far as tone and spirit. Cause ultimately, the target audience for the series ARE kids. You DO honestly need to have some history with the games and their stories to better understand some of the plot points, but still, hearing it be called so dumb, honestly hurts a little bit. Only because I've honestly been tired of having Sonic be associated with "it's all stupid" for so long. I get that they probably mean "dumb in a fun way", but for so long I've heard it be counted as "dumb in a bad way" and it just get's tiring after so long. The easiest way to think of the Emeralds in this is to think of them like the Chaos Emeralds themselves had power, and the Master Emerald is the "safe" that held them, at this point even though they're separated, due to all of them being one thing in the movie lore, the Master Emerald most likely just inherited some of that residual power, basically like radiation or, like how it's depicted, it being electrically charged with Chaos power. Plus the whole "turn thoughts into power" thing, surprisingly the games have never really dove into the full meaning of that even though it's been said a bunch of times, it's been slightly explored in stuff like the comics and such, but the games it's mostly just an excuse for a "ultimate prize for being so good at the game, now you can steamroll it" kind of thing, or just an excuse to explain "the Chaos Emeralds can do anything". Also, I wouldn't count Snow Dogs as a better movie than this. It's alright but I wouldn't give it that high of praise. I agree with Aaron. The group at the start were not in the games, they were made for the movie. To be fair, Sonic used a lot of energy just making it to an island that was only a few miles away. Over huge crashing waves, which is the most realistic as to what actually happens out in the middle of the ocean when it's stormy. Plus I doubt he would know which direction the mainland would be, he seemingly only knows of Green Hills and Seattle, I doubt he's that good at geography since it's only been a year since the last movie. Not to mention look how tired he was dealing with the giant robot when he got to the bridge, he was very worn out. And yeah, while super speed can solve anything, he wouldn't be that much of a good guy if he just darted off towards Green Hills and left Knuckles on the island for Tails to bring him in, especially since he just offered him friendship.

Don't be sad as its their opinion, if they feel that way about it then you shouldn't let it affect you. The thing you got to understand is that if you aren't a sonic fan this is just an okish action comedy, its kinda similar in quality to movies like smurfs or hop, You know a white guy and a talking animal go on wacky adventures and hilarity ensues.
