This movie was way better than it had any right to be. This was a literal recipe for disaster, from the marketing, to the production hell, to just the fact it's a video game adaptation, it should have been horrible, but somehow it ended up amazing.

Thing that got me was that this film was genuinely funny. The dialogue was genuinely witty, and for once the pop culture references felt right because Sonic would totally do that.

[@JiReyAnimation]

You have to appreciate that they didn't just throw in Tails, Knuckles and the whole gang this early. They focused on making this a fun standalone movie and establish Sonic and Eggman's rivalry first, and everything else was just teased and left for a future film. It's kinda like the games. Tails and Knuckles didn't appear until the second and third game. Also call me crazy but I liked James Marsden more than Jim Carrey in this film. I find Donut Lord really likeable, more so than any other film where a cartoon character goes into the human world. That may be because unlike the other humans in those movies, at least this one doesn't feel like he's just doing it for a paycheck and doesn't actually wanna be there. He also gets extra points for not having that forced "My life was perfect and you ruined everything" moment those kind of films usually have.

[@17thknight]

Definitely. They need a whole movie with Knuckles as the antagonist and *maybe* he turns right at the end and can be a full hero in a third movie.

[@husnaharghandiwal5701]

I loved this review! But I've got to say I disagree with James Marsden not being needed in the sequel. Not only has he signed up for multiple movies, but the character he plays (tom) basically became sonic's dad towards the end of the movie, and there are many times where the movie establishes just how important he is to sonic. Pat Casey (one of the writers of the movie), stated that sonic went from befriending tom to becoming a part of his family, (more specifically his dad), so if anything, the sequel would most likely lose its fluidity if tom was excluded.

[@flashergoldpower15]

That’s true. Tom being in multiple films of sonic would be great and seeing the relationship of sonic and Tom grow even more

[@the-quiver]

I think that he should appear on the following movies but with less screen time

Tails: Sonic is my best friend in every universe! Even Anti-Tails and Scourge are best friends, before growing apart.

I thought the same. I think it'll be really sweet if they turned it into a coming of age story where he slowly gains OG sonic's confidence and cool personality, whilst still maintaining his kind-hearted, delightful self from the first movie. And since it's been confirmed that tom became his family (more specifically his dad), it would be wholesome if he was sonic's emotional support and helped him grow as the sonic we know him as.

Sonic himself looked fantastic and almost had the personality from either Sonic Adventure or Sonic Adventure 2 (still my absolute favorite Sonic game). Jim Carey was the perfect choice for Robotnik/Eggman as he is literally the only man alive that can be as expressive as an animated character. I was ready to call it a good movie, then the credits came on and nostalgia hit me like a sack of bricks. After all that, I still squealed like a fangirl (despite being a 6ft+ grown ass man) when Tails showed up. Without a doubt, my favorite Sonic character. Hell, even during my edgiest years of loving Shadow, I still had a soft spot for that little cinnamon roll of a fox.

The evolution of Robotnik and his design was great. Carrey really hammed it up, and yet somehow made it work very well. His relationship with Stone was hilarious. Way better movie than I was expecting. Had some cheesy jokes, but we aren't really the target audience any more so you have to expect some kid-friendly humour.

[@zanzibar4730]

The Sonic franchise is so weird because it's so wacky and cartoonish most of the time, but it can evolve into Dragonball style fights and actually be pretty threatening with it's characters and stakes, which is why so many kids/teens are drawn to it. It's a tricky world for people to get into because they see these cute little animal characters and think it's weird that it ever gets serious but honestly that's the charm, like TMNT or similar cartoons.

[@alexos9011]

As a Sonic fan who is way too invested in the Sonic lore I am very excited for the second movie. This one is fun but doesn't take many risks. But it makes some nods to the lore that let fans know the writters still have that in mind. Like the tribe at the begining is an Echidna tribe (Knuckles' species) which are actually extinct in the games. I think what the writters where going for with this movie was some sort of origin story, which explains why Sonic seems younger and a bit more immature and vulnerable compared to the games. Also the way they are gradually building up Robotnik into the vilain he is in the games is way more interresting than having already being that vilain. Like they really tried contextualise a lot of things, like the way Sonic called Robotnik * "Eggman" based on his robots being egg-shaped and doesn't come out of nowhere either because it's been established in the begining of the movie that Sonic likes giving nicknames. But it also doesn't want to just follow the games and introduces its own ideas (which is a good thing to me). Anyway, in the end I'd that movie was fun but plays it too safe for me. But what has been established here has the potential to build up into something really great and I really hope it will because the Sonic franchise has told some really awesome and touching stories that deserves to be represented.

[@masteroctagon6888]

This movie definitely was a set up for more to come, with the origins of Eggman and Sonic, then also Tails coming at the end while still being a fun action movie. My only complaint is the lack of using Sonic soundtrack. Also it’s one of the last movies I saw in theaters and the Tail post-credit scene was an awesome reaction lol.
