Review of Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) by Moviereviewer15 — 13 Feb 2020
My spoiler-free thoughts on #SonicTheHedgehog:
A fun family-friendly video game movie that benefits from Ben Schwartz’s wisecracking vocal performance as the titular Blue Blur, Jim Carrey as Doctor Robotnik and a last minute redesign of Sonic’s model. The opening scene is well put together and explains why Sonic had to stay on Earth, it’s actually quite sad when you see it. The comedy is charming with the callbacks to Marvel movies, Star Wars, Fast and Furious and Keanu Reeves. And, the lore of Sonic they expand on the movie is actually established quite well. I think this is the second best video game movie after Pokemon: Detective Pikachu and it’s worth seeing. Also, make sure you stay for two post credits scenes, one that will make you say “I wanna see a sequel”, which my theater agreed with when they clapped in applause after it ended.
Final score: 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10.
P.S. There’s only one downside in this movie which is that we didn’t get something that I hope the get in potential sequel: Jim Carrey’s Robitnik saying “PINGAS”.
