Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Review
Sonic the Hedgehog is a movie that was supposed to fail. It seemed that the movie was going to be terrible. The first look that we got of Sonic himself was not great either. He looked like a CGI mess. However the movie is much better than I expected.
Sonic is a video game character that has been around for many years. He is almost as iconic as Mario. The announcement that Sonic was getting his own movie was a big deal. Sonic is a character who, like Pikachu, can be a good movie character because he is funny and has a good backstory. The Sonic movie is one of the few video game films that is actually decent.
Fans of Sonic and his games will enjoy this movie. It has humor and action. It is a movie geared towards kids and because it is dominated by childish humor, there are jokes that only kids or hardcore Sonic fans will find funny. It feels like the movie’s target demographic is children.
It has competent writing created with children in mind. Sonic feels like it was made by a studio. This was seen in the way the design of Sonic’s character was first handled. It seemed like it was made by people trying to make a quick buck. However, the studio listened to the fans and the audience and made proper improvement to the character’s look.
If you enjoy the Sonic games, want to turn your brain off or want to enjoy a family movie then Sonic is probably for you. It is enjoyable now that the proper changes were made to it. If you are a long time fan of the games then there will be plenty of jokes in the movie just for you.
