Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Review

It has been over a year now since the Sonic movie released back on February 14th, 2020. So, let's go back and give this movie a full review that it deserves. I discuss what I think the movie does good, what it does bad, and what I think the Sonic Movie series should do going forward.

My way of seeing it: The reason why Sonic doesn't just dash towards San Francisco is 'cuz he's trying to delay his departure from Earth. He knows he should flee if discovered, but he's clearly grown attached to Earth and tries all he can to enjoy it while it lasts. That's my take, at least...

That's probably the actual reason. He grew so accustomed to Earth that he really didn't want to leave it.

[@irenereru]

The part that gets repeated a lot about Sonic tagging along with Tom because "he doesn't know how to get to San Francisco", I have always interpreted it as Sonic not wanting to leave and stalling. It's why he goes to Tom's house instead of throwing the ring in his cave: He's making up excuses to stay. He doesn't want to go. And after being so lonely for so long, getting the chance to spend an entire day with "his favorite human being" does sound like a great plan for a hedgehog as lonely as him. But the part with Tom letting Sonic drive and the entire thing of him being a searched criminal is, well... Still bad. There possibly were many changes and re-writes in the movie and those were traces of it.

[@sneakysneakyraccoon8538]

Actually Sonic did tried to use the rings in the cave before the robots got too close.

[@irenereru]

@@sneakysneakyraccoon8538 Yeah, he was about to do it, but before throwing it he backsup

[@andreasmeelie1889]

To be honest I know that Sonic does the ring portal out of his cave because he’s afraid of actually getting caught while he’s doing it because they get too close which pretty much happens when Tom actually catches him in the garage.

[@BlackFlash09]

Some of your questions can be answered with "Sonic is stalling." As for why Longclaw didn't spread her wings on the other side of the portal, it would've been easier for the echidna tribe to push through. And the product placements are most likely how Sonic's redesign was paid for.

[@giuliacf4180]

The director said they got no money for the product placement of Olive Garden, that was for a joke, not for money, after all the whole live action scenes were already recorded and done with before the redesign

That sandwich made me hungry

[@MrRinato]

- Before Sonic ran off to the ocean, he said "I'm totally cool saying goodbye now." sarcastically, he's not really ok with it. So I think "I don't know where San Francisco is" was just one of so many excuses that Sonic used to stay with Tom, (Also the reason why Sonic didn't ran up to the building), Sonic was hesitated throughout the movie, he didn't want to leave Earth, some might say other characters should acknowledge that, but still. - I feel like the whole Bucket List scenes is an interpretation of this quote "When you want to do something, do it right away. Do it when you can. It's the only way to live a life without regrets." Intentional or not, it fit perfectly IMO.

[@regulator062]

Well, for whatever it's worth Tom did acknowledge Sonic didn't really want to go in the scene on the top of transamerica building, before Sonic thanked him. But yeah the film was very clear throughout that Sonic didn't want to leave earth, and Sonic's actions reflected that. He was just like an immature kid procrastinating, making stuff up and finding excuses or things to do on the spot to avoid having to do something he didn't want to do. Sonic has some of that in him in this film. He's a little rebellious, and although he has a good heart he also isn't an angel. There's several occasions where he flat out goes against what Tom says and disobeys him.

[@TCBStudios]

The reason Sonic didn't just run up the side of the Trans America building is because he wasn't ready to say goodbye. He was fully capable of just running up there, but he didn't want to because it would mean he had to leave.

[@regjoe_48]

while I do have an explanation, it's more of an assumption. The reason Sonic didn't just go to San Francisco was because he saw Tom as a potential friend.

[@MiloMurphysLaw]

It would’ve made more sense if they had just made Sonic unable to run for at least a little bit longer to explain why he needs Tom to drive him to San Francisco. But then once he is able to run again he doesn’t want to leave because he likes hanging out with Tom.

[@Trance88]

I think the biggest thing you're missing, Sam, is Sonic WANTED Tom to drive him to San Francisco. Tom initially had no intentions of ever driving Sonic there. I believe Sonic wanted to have Tom drive him to San Francisco so he could use the time to make friends with Tom and get to know him better. It's a sort of similar situation with the Trans America building scene. Sonic could've scaled the tower to retrieve his rings on his own, but he wanted Tom and Maddie to be there with him when he retrieved the rings so he could say his last goodbyes before leaving for the mushroom world. The whole subplot of Tom being a wanted terrorist etc. is really the only major plot hole that bugs the crap out of me. It just doesn't make any sense and there's no excuse for it. I still rate the Sonic movie a solid 8.75/10.

[@TimmyTheTinman]

[@TinhaUmMacaco]

Here is my plan for the Sonic Movie 2: Title: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Character 1: Sonic The Hedgehog Reason 1: (Because he must be in the sequel) Character 2: Miles "Tails" Prower Reason 2: (Like in Sonic 2, he is Sonic's best friend. Also he appeared in the Post Credits scene) Character 3: Amy Rose Reason 3: (Like in Sonic CD, she has a love interest in Sonic) Character 4: Knuckles The Echidna Reason 4: (There is a reason why the Echidna tribe was in the first movie, so it only makes sense for him to appear in the sequel) Character 5: Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik Reason 5: (Because he must be in the sequel. Also he appeared in the scene where he was almost full Eggman) Character 6: Metal Sonic Reason 6: (Like in Sonic CD, he is the second main antagonist for Sonic) Now that the games timelines with the movie are all set and done, time for the plot. (Stay tuned because there is an extra optional plot for "Amy Rose" if "Paramount" decided to add her): Basically after "Dr. Robotnik" was kicked into the "Mushroom Planet", he was trying to find a way back to Earth, but then he realized that there is an ancient temple for the Echidna tribe where "Knuckles the Echidna" is guarding the Master Emerald; "Eggman" decided to check it out and see if there is something he can do to leave the planet once and for all. "Eggman" then was surrounded by the Echidna tribe and they won't let him pass through without identifying him, "Knuckles" then came to him and started to interogate him for a while, but after that, Knuckles knew about Sonic being alive and living in another planet (a.k.a Earth), so he and "Eggman" made a deal to capture the blue blur together and "Eggman" would be awarded for the support. While "Sonic" is having fun with the "Donut Lord", "Tails the Fox" then shows up as he tells "Sonic" that the Echidna tribe is looking for him with the help of the mad doctor, "Sonic" then tells the "Donut Lord" that he and "Tails" would be gone for a while to solve the problem as "Sonic" also left some rings in case of emergencies. The Echidna tribe had some teleportation rings to use to get to Earth, "Eggman" then decided that with Sonic's quill and his robotic science, he would create a metal clone of "Sonic" and he would name it Metal Sonic, a more advanced machine than any machines he used before, with major tweaks such as smooth combat skills, platinium surfaces, and his own voice. "Sonic" and "Tails" were heading to "Green Hill" (a.k.a Sonic's old home) and "Sonic" discovered that Longclaw is still alive and that she can be a great advantage for them to defeat the Echidnas and "Eggman". After "Eggman" finished and tested "Metal Sonic", he and the Echidnas headed to the "Donut Lord", "Eggman" was asking him of where did the blue blur go. "Donut Lord" didn't want to answer him so "Eggman" knocked him down along with his wife. "Sonic", "Tails", and "Longclaw" didn't find anything in either the "Green Hill" or the "Mushroom Planet", so they went back to Earth until they realize that the "Donut Lord" and "Maddie" were gone with a small letter to the blue blur. "Sonic", "Tails", and "Longclaw" went to find them but "Metal Sonic" was unleashed, causing damage in the city; A fight between "Sonic", "Tails", "Longclaw" and "Metal Sonic" was made and "Metal Sonic" then decided to call the doctor for some assistance, "Eggman" and the Echidna tribe came with the hostages (Donut Lord and Maddie); A one final epic battle resulted in the Echidnas fleeing back to their world, "Metal Sonic" getting destroyed, and "Eggman" getting wrecked and brought to the S.F.P.D. (a.k.a San Francisco Police Department). THE END Extra Optional Plot for "Amy Rose": She had a backstory when she was being taken care by Longclaw after "Sonic" left Green Hill. "Eggman" and the Echinda tribe decided to capture her as a hostage and beating "Longclaw" for not following them. "Sonic", "Tails", and "Longclaw" at the end of the final battle would save "Amy Rose" and teach her how to fight so she can protect herself from now on. Post Credit Scene: "Eggman" still has one more of "Sonic's" quill, which then later the scene would show us a pipe in "Robotnik's" Lab labelled, "P.R.O.J.E.C.T. S.H.A.D.O.W." for the third film.

Nice Video! But I'm kinda scared for the Movie Sequel now. I don't want the fans to hate on the movie if it doesn't adapt 3 & Knuckles or take place at Sonic's world. Infact, I think seeing Sonic's world in the Sequel is a small possibility, and if it does, then I bet you the movie will be mostly live action. I'm scared of the movie because I'm feeling like it's being overhyped at this point, I don't want the people behind the movie to get hate for something they didn't say they were going to do, Overhyping stuff leads to dissapointment, and I'm scared for the Sequel because of that, sorry. That was just a nitpick when you said you want the movie to be mostly CGI. As a whole, nice video.

People really think they're going to make a Live Action/CGI hybrid that is mostly CGI characters in a CGI setting. That's a really dumb expectation to have.

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

I can see they are jumping straight to the plot of S3&K for the coming sequel, but if it's going to turn into a trilogy, then does that mean that for the third movie we're going to see Metal Sonic as the main villlain?? I can see Eggman being so fed up with not being able to defeat Sonic to the point of realizing that maybe the only thing that can defeat Sonic is Sonic himself, so he builds Metal Sonic and uses Sonic's quill to power him up. That'd be so freaking cool.

[@SSand4]

Yeah, the Olive Garden bits were lame, but I do have one explanation that glosses over the "road trip movie" premise: He didn't _want_ to go on his own. His loneliness was a major part of his character, Tom was someone he wanted to actually get to know, and he wanted to go on an adventure with someone. Another thing is that they set up how Sonic watched movies over Tom & Maddie's shoulders, and could hear them through the window; so why didn't he run up the side of the TransAmerica building? Because he wanted to do a heist movie with Tom & Maddie as part of his adventure. As for setting it on Earth rather than on Sonic's world as a whole....I think was mostly to explain Robotnik being around as well as to set-up that Robotnik (as per his "orphan" comment) doesn't necessarily know who his family is...meaning some of those military guys might've objected to Robotnik not only because of his attitude, but because they know about *Gerald* and the Ark Incident, meaning there's a possibility that Shadow already exists and has been in stasis for about 50 years to be thawed out in a future sequel (I'd hold that story for Sonic 4 myself).

Too be fair, longclaw is much larger and isn't as fast as sonic, so it kind of makes sense why she didn't come with him. Also, there was a breif bit of hard rock music during the post-credit scene, and given that it was made after the redesign, it could hint toward what the music will be like in the sequel. Given how well the team was able to listen to us, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the second film will improve upon.

[@LeBazarDeFusette]

It's kind of mind boggling to think of how much potential any sequels have and the amount they can do with the story.

This stuff was honestly always the best and most interesting Sonic lore they ever went for to me and I don't think people talk about it enough

[@pw5651]

I think that Longclaw didn’t go through the portal ring with Sonic because somehow the Echidnas would be able to track her but since Sonic was a baby and they hadn’t analyzed his energy signature yet (as we saw that Dr. Robotnik can trace energy signatures so they probably have the same technology) she knew they’d never find Sonic if he went alone.

Great review. I’m not the biggest fan of this movie but I do admit that there are aspects I do like including Sonic’s expressions, the actions, and Carrey as Robotnik. Sadly, I couldn’t exactly get into Sonic’s character. You could say I don’t like it because it’s different and I’d be lying if it said it wasn’t. However, I am confident that this Sonic can grow into the more confident older Sonic I’m more accustomed to. I think the voice is also something I had issues with because I just thought it was a slap in the face to Roger Craig Smith. That is, until you take into account the character changes as mentioned. There’s also the problem with the lack of Sonic music which I very much agree with. Hopefully they fix that as you said. Finally I did have issues with the generic ness of the story, a lot of its humor not being funny to me, and the blatant product placement. In conclusion, I’ve always said it was a decent family movie but not exactly the Sonic movie I wanted to see. That issue will always follow me sadly. However, I do want to be fair to the film’s strengths and optimistic towards possible improvements to the sequels.

[@greatsource5405]

I love this movie so much. I thought that Sonic was just making up the excuse that he didn't know where San Francisco was so that he could have an excuse to hang out with Tom, who is his favorite person and who he hopes to make a friendship with (as mentioned on his bucket list). However I undertaand why other people wouldn't see it that way and I guess it would be nice if they could be clearer. I have no idea about why Sonic didn't run up the building to get the rings or how to fix that problem because running up buildings is one of Sonic's main things. The only thing I could think of is if Dr. Robotnik found the rings first and then took Tom or Maddie hostage and then Sonic had to meet them at the top of the building or, yeah I don't know,

[@rubenk.7150]

It's for the same reason he didn't just run to San Francisco; he wants to be with Tom and Maddie for as long as he can.

[@CryoM3ncer]

One of the theories I had regarding the emeralds held as this: There are the Seven World Wonders as we know (or may not), and there are obviously seven chaos emeralds. If the chaos emeralds aren't going to be in Sonic's world for some unknown reason (which I seriously doubt), each would probably crash land at one of the World Wonders or somewhere near. I'm hoping for action based on Sonic's world, but it looks like they'll stick to Earth for now.

Got a feeling that the 7 wonders will house the caose emeralds, and they can start with the pyramid eggman nearly destroyed.

I remember there was an interview with jeff fowler and how they were originally going to use the chaos emeralds in the first movie but felt it would be too rushed so they cut it. Maybe it will be in the sequel?

I've Never Seen Sam So Triggered Lol

[@sonicsage243]

13:40 they mostly made it like this because originally sonic was going to turn into super sonic but then they scrapped it and left it for the second movie

[@katieee_llyn]

I can’t believe this was the last movie I saw in theaters

[@teamsonicfanproductions4582]

Awesome Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Review!! I give it a 10/10 plus I'm so excited for the Sequel!!

[@HydraSpectre1138]

Before I saw the movie, I never knew what Olive Garden was. There's no Olive Garden here in the Philippines, but the French dub and subtitles changed all mentions of Olive Garden to a generic Italian restaurant.

[@Nonxistent_J]

Lol the reaction at the beginning 😂

[@maskedsentai2003]

Maybe We'll see a Goodbye Scene with Sonic and Tom

[@molly8372]

Ahh the nostalgia

One year of EIGHT IN THE MORNING

[@JasmineAmberSandbrook1923]

I wonder if Longclaw is going to be in the sequel

_I guess that's what happens when you've been isolated inside for the better part of a year._ *You lose your grasp on reality as you slowly turn insane.*

[@youngnftmichael1015]

At least we have good looking sonic now🥐 right.

[@NeonLightsYT1]

And development for the Second has started!

[@richardfitzwell4618]

Sonic being overcharged in the final fight is literally the equivalent of "Light Speed Attack", where he charges his power and it explodes in a ball of light. Also, the government are bad guys in the Sonic games. So yes, the whole "government leaves them alone" thing, is entirely intentional. It's meant to set up G.U.N.

[@Thwal]

I like to think that because Sonic's lonely he just wanted to ride with donut lord

[@nexisvids]

About Sonic not climbing the building, I think he wanted an excuse to stay a bit longer with his human friends before parting ways.

[@SJMgames7]

Yet another good video keep up 👍

[@emilysteele6468]

The second picture is literally my phone case

[@ToonsyTheToon]

If Tails does get recasted in the sequel, I hope they pick Justin Felbinger.

[@yam9195]

Sam when are you gonna do a part 3 on world of light? Or finish World Of Light?

[@RikiZ8]

The last thing I did before the pandemic lockdowns started in my country... I watched Sonic movie in theatre with my friend.

[@LuceoX30]

I do NOT kid when I say there are people, who say there is nothing wrong with the original design - AKA, the MANHOG. That thought makes me laugh despite my skin crawling.

[@gig2734]

One thing that has not aged well is the fact that Sonic was alone on Earth for 10 years. We have now lived in quarantine for 1 year and it is driving people crazy. One problem with the film, for me, was the thin story. There are only three fight scenes, in Tom's house, on the highway, and at the end. Something more like Bumblebee would have been more fitting.

[@davidwilson4446]

To think that if Covid didn’t hit or waited just a little longer to frick things up... the movie would have done even better

What I Love About Sonic Movie 1. Especially love Movie Sonic even more than Modern Sonic. a) Movie Sonic’s personality is more funny, cute, like to doing different things than just running, adventure and action, still cool, charming, brave and easy-going/laid back and had more character developing. b) Movie Sonic’s final movie design just almost look like Modern Sonic what I also wanted first in the first place before some designs were spoiled and better than both the awful prototype Movie Sonic and even Modern Sonic design. Sonic is a live action version of himself, his torso is bigger as two of my favorite Sonic designs both ’06 and Boom Sonic, his arms is blue like Boom Sonic, have one more quill both back on his head and back (seven quills back on his head and three quills on his back) and his eyes are separated and more expressive. c) Sonic is a young kid first before he's older in the rest of the movie and have a Superman's/Goku's origin cliché. 2. Sonic Movie is now both my best favorite Sonic TV show/movie and video game movie and both one of my best favorite live action and furry movies. 3. Especially a Sonic live action movie I just wanted and even both didn't fail like most other live action movies like it and for be based on a low budget franchise according to be least in Greatest Movie Wiki. 4. Reminds me of and probably inspired by my second favorite Sonic TV show/movie Sonic X, both have same cliché and the Sonic live action movie seams like an adaptation of Sonic X. 5. There were just both TMNT and a Superman’s/Goku’s origin cliché I just wanted in the Sonic franchise even before we knew there would be a Sonic live action movie. 6. I just especially wanted Sonic live action movie that really reminds me when I just especially also wanted TMNT live action movie before I knew there unlikely already for long time was one from early 90s since I especially want both Sonic and TMNT live action movie and have 2000-2011 computer animated and lived action movie nostalgia, especially when I was a fan of Alvin and the Chipmunks 1 & 2. 7. Some of the soundtrack background music especially in the Sonic Movie, especially Meet Sonic, Welcome to Green Hill, A Very Lonely Life, A New Home and Sonic the Hedgehog. 8. There were both funny and heartwarming moments with Sonic. 9. There were no annoying anti-Sonamy moments since no of Sonic’s friends didn’t appear in the movie except Tails appeared least in the credits and unless there will be in the sequels. 10. Have become the sixth highest-grossing movie in year 2020 and the best highest-grossing video game live action movie adaptation in USA. 11. Sonic X season 3 was finally for the first time also aired in Japan probably because of the Sonic live action movie since it was aired in Japan same year as the movie was released. What I Think Sucks About Sonic Movie 1. Wasn't translated also in all Scandinavian languages in theatrically release and not even in DVD/Blu-ray release when it was later only in Digitalt and least is a PG family movie translated in most other languages and even least Swedish. 2. The unused "Gotta Og Fast" Chizzy Stephens song was replaced with "Speed Me Up" and wasn't even in the movie which is just both a Green Hill theme music remix song and named after the Sonic X English intro song and sounds better than "Speed Me Up". 3. The running time wasn't least over and even felt short for be almost 100 minutes running time. 4. Two deleted scenes when Sonic and Longclaw escaped to Earth and Sonic messing with Crazy Carl weren't also in the movie and were still something missing I wanted also in the movie like there were no regular hedgehog and maybe wasn't enough funny moments with Sonic like Sonic can't swim thought it was showed that he have been in water and said water stinks, pretended to be a stuffed animal or used more disguises and didn't try cat food unless there will be in the sequel. 5. Didn't also use some of the prototype posters with the final Movie Sonic design instead of the awful prototype Movie Sonic design. 6. Was several times late. 7. There's no video game adaptation. 8. Ulike Modern Sonic, Sonic is maybe more immature, 13-14 years old instead of least 15 according to Jeff Fowler and both his height and quills are may be shorter. 9. Probably become successful just because of one of the actors, Jim Carrey.

[@andreasmeelie1889]

I get that it’s Sam’s opinion and he can believe in whatever he wants but I feel like it really makes sense on why Sonic doesn’t avoid the dart from Tom’s tranquilizer gun and not so much Eggman’s bullets. Sonic was pretty much startled by Tom and may have not fully well understood what a tranquilizer gun was till he got the dart. While with Eggman he already knows that he shoots out bullets so he was expecting it to come so therefore was able to avoid it.
