The little blue alien who can sprint quicker than the speed of light has ironically benefited from slowing it down, taking a pit stop to retool and emerge this month as a total crowd-pleaser. Read full review

In the end, “Sonic” is quippy without being mean, and sweet without being sappy, making this a trip that’s well worth taking. Read full review

It’s an enjoyable movie-night combination of lightning quips, genuine friendship and observational humor paced with Sonic’s “gotta go fast” attitude. Score one for video game fans! Read full review

Despite some sweetness and playful absurdity, this big-screen outing feels mostly like derivative, fussed-over product. Read full review

If the rest of Sonic the Hedgehog were pitched at Carrey’s energy level, it could at least be distracting. But for such a short movie (it runs 99 minutes with extensive credits), and especially for one about a super-speedy fellow, it never builds momentum. Read full review

Children encountering the faux-ET format for the first time may enjoy it well enough, but signs of life, extra or otherwise, are low to nil. Read full review

It’s not quite as bad as the awful trailer threatened. Just dull, bland and pointless. Read full review

Objectively: - a good family movie for one-time viewing with good humor and a well-played role of Jim Carrey.

Subjectively (from the opinion of a fan of old games about Sonic, from the very first 8-bit title of the game): - I am extremely surprised, even shocked, how much the creators of the film were able to spoil nothing (neglect of the canon and fan base is a frequent occurrence for films based on video games). Even if we do not take into account the unprecedented case of listening_to_the_audience's_feedback regarding Sonic's design and its correction, the plot of the movie itself doesn't conflict with the canon and could even place in the universe of classic games as a prequel. There were plenty of Easter eggs in the movie, which will definitely please the old fans of the supersonic hedgehog. So, as a Sonic fan, I sincerely thank everyone who worked on this movie for not ruining my childhood and the childhood of many others, you managed to make a nice family movie with a wonderful Sonic and not offend anyone. It's worth a lot.… Expand

I think Sonic did a good job at making an enjoyable movie both for fans and people who know nothing about the character. My wife and kids loved it, and my wife doesn't touch video games. She was laughing pretty consistently throughout the movie. It's far from a perfect movie, but for a video game movie far worse has been done before. I was really hoping this movie would actually be good, but was expecting something awful. My family definitely enjoyed it and I'm sure we'll be seeing it again. I enjoyed it more than many of the recent sonic games, so there's that.… Expand

Sonic the hedgehog is a very well made film, that while is a little predictable, was still fun for me and should be fun not only for fans of sonic, and little kids, but for the whole family. Don’t blink off this film or you might miss it. P.S. TYSON HESSE IS THE BEST… Expand

Fun popcorn movie. There’s some cheese here and there (clearly aimed towards kids) but it seems like it was written by people who loved the games and Jim Carey brought his 90s chops back for Robotnik which was an awesome take on the character.

to say I was disappointed wouod he an understatement. I felt actively drained of energy and patience while watching, nearly every aspect of the movie was bad, and 90% of the jokes fell flat.
