Yep, just goes to show you SHOULD listen to the fans.

If only other studios could understand the premise that people want to spend their money but not on bullshit, they where scared of how much they would spend remaking sonic only to get a trilogy off it. Hollywood is losing money cause they refuse to listen to their audience.

Next day, I show up for sonic 3 and A LOT of marines were there to see sonic again on the big screen.

A studio that listens to the fanbase... how refreshing

[@johans3164]

Its so rare and sooooo refreshing

[@shawnfields2369]

​@johans3164 Yeah, I know, right? A studio that actually listens to its fans?!? What kind of wacky world are living in where that kind of insanity happens?! I thought they'd just go "screw you, here's a lazy cash-in, now go and see it, and give us your money, now please", but no, they actually listened, put in some honest to God effort, took what worked with SA2B( Sonic Adventure 2: Battle), Sonic Heroes, Shadow The Hedgehog(the self-titled game, not just the character), Sonic CD, Akira, and even Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and threw it all together, and actually pleased people who saw it(myself included), I know they say you can't please everyone, but this time, and with this, the Sonic the Hedgehog film Trilogy, they did please pretty much everybody in the theater. And with me being a longtime Sonic fan myself, who may have started out with The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog cartoon, the one where he'd give out PSA's at the end of every episode, but I mainly started with both Sonic Adventure games, on the GameCube, but playing them both and seeing this movie taking the bond between Maria(Prof. Gerald Robotnik's granddaughter), and Shadow, aboard the Space Colony ARK(which is where Shadow was imprisoned for 50 years), was surprisingly slightly more accurate than even both SA2 and Shadow's game, (which is where they bring up his backstory), and they made references that DIDN'T feel like they were forced in, just because its supposed to be Sonic Adventure 2's script, adapted to movie form, but felt like they were necessary. Although, they could've used more City Escape...but they did have Dr. Eggman's theme song from SA2, and the main theme song of SA2, and even the iconic pose both Sonic and Shadow do near the end of that game, when both go super, the design of the space colony ARK firing the Eclipse Cannon, and blowing up half of the moon, Prof. Gerald wanting to annihilate literally ALL life on earth because of the events of that game, the final level of the game the Cannon's Core, and even the Security Hall level(even though there's no Rouge), and even GUN themselves, and even recreating the intro to Shadow the Hedgehog where Sonic falls down and Shadow flies at the camera, the motorcycle slide he does, even the gun itself, all recreated, and done well! They tried and took (gasp! ACTUAL time and effort to plan things!) And didn't just lazily throw an amateurish kind of ending to Sonic's film trilogy?! What?! People are still trying to make good movies? What is this insanity? Seriously though; I loved the movie from beginning to end. And even the end credits scenes. And also, sorry for going on too long. I just thought it was really good, and I was surprised at how much they cared enough about this movie and what they put into it, like the other 2 Sonic films. And that concludes my essay, thank you.

I'm not dreaming; am I? Like this live action film series about Sonic isn't just something I dreamed up while sleeping through the movie, was it? Same with the other 2 films, I just have to ask, I am awake, and i didn't dream up this trilogy of films about one of my favorite game/comic/cartoon characters of all time, being THIS good, did I? These really happened, and they're not just dreams in our heads; are they? The name of the cannon, the team up between Eggman, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow is something that DID happen during the movie and SA2, right? And this movie does justify it happening. Sure, there's no Rouge the Bat, or Bio-Lizard, or King of Ghosts from Pumpkin Hill(a level in SA2), Knuckles shattering the Master Emerald, etc. but these things are just some small and tiny nitpicks from me. I loved each and every single Sonic movie, as a longtime fan of the games, and also Jim Carrey, everything in these films is handled with care and appreciation of its fans, and doesn't just do something lazy, and call it a day, when that's what they could've done with any one of these movies, but they didn't. They put out some honest to god effort into this, and none of it felt forced in for the sake of just being a reference. Not even the human characters, even when they use the hologram tech, which feels more like Mission Impossible, (but, hey, at least they're self-aware about it). Also, sorry if I'm rambling on too long here. I'm just glad that Sega, and everyone involved with the Sonic film trilogy tried so hard to deliver on a really good series of films. It definitely is insane, and even more insane that they did them ALL so well. They managed to make 3, back to back video game movies and did them all thoughtfully, and have actual heart in them. None of these movies feel like they're just lame, generic kids films to me. They all feel like they're what Sonic the Hedgehog should be.

[@shawnfields2369]

@@danielsmithiv1279 OK, cool thanks.

[@shawnfields2369]

@danielsmithiv1279 I mean, I love Bleach, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Naruto/Naruto Shippuden (although, I haven't seen any of Boruto yet though), and DBZ was the very first anime I ever saw and the first manga I ever read as a kid, with them going to Namek, and Bulma, Gohan, and Krillin. I didn't know who they were yet, but I was excited by it. I do like God of War and Asura's Wrath, a shame it only got the one game though. And I missed the final parts of Bleach...and the Thousand-Year Blood arc thing that you're talking about, and yes, I am ashamed of myself as a fan of Bleach for missing it, considering that Johnny Yong Bosch is my favorite voice actor and all. I'm not a fan of Gundam,(but I've tried to get into the series though), and I haven't seen Passion of The Christ myself. And I've never seen One Punch Man either, but I've heard of it. But yes, Sonic 3 is one of the best film adaptations in both human and hedgehog history. Now, we need to do the same for other popular Sega franchises before we return to Sonic, like for example, Yakuza, or even Virtua Fighter.

[@AceHufflepuff]

While some aren't gonna be happy with the Shadow story changes, I feel like they work for this film franchise, which IS a different continuity from the games. It still gives Shadow the overall heart needed for the character. Keanu actually full on delivered. He had some really good moments. "What was his name.....Tom?" absolute CHILLS. Ohhhh never seen Sonic THAT pissed. Also yes the fans DESPERATELY wanted Keanu as Shadow. It was really between two camps; Robert Pattinson and Keanu Reeves. People felt that Reeves' raspy voice would fit Shadow. But others felt that after doing Batman, Robert would do Shadow justice as both Shadow and Batman have a lot in common. However, in a recent behind the scenes, it's revealed that Keanu WANTED to be Shadow as well. And he did his research. You can tell. He cares about the character.

[@keiichimorisato98]

the important thing is that the changes are done in a way that serves the character and story of the medium, while also not going too far away that it become an entirely different story.

[@thatoneguy319]

I also saw Hayden Christensen thrown in as Shadow which....would've been...interesting. I saw an animation of Battinson as Shadow and kinda wish we had gotten that tbh. But Keanu really did do a good job as the dark hedgehog. You can tell he wasn't just there for the paycheck.

I've seen some on the internet demanded Hayden Christensen. Then Keanu was cast and the internet said...okay.

[@LucarioShirona]

because it was more of rumored that Hayden Christensen was being casted, the fan base slowly welcomed the idea after use of youtube videos having animatics and such using Star Wars audio, that hyped people up on the idea of Hayden being Shadow. But for the longest time, Keanu was hyped much longer so the internet is still excited since it's still a fan casting that people wanted

[@superiorspider-man1720]

I’ve always been hyped for Keanu . That was actually my first thought of who should voice Shadow before it was announced .

[@danielz-v4083]

I never get the Hayden glaze. He was extremely okay in the Prequel movies. If Darth Vader wasn't such an iconic villain previously to them coming out, I hardly doubt Christensen would've made him iconic. He isnt a bad actor, but there are far better, and his voice does not remotely compare to Keanu's for this portrayal of the character.
