Review of Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) by Comandantecobra — 06 May 2020
Well done light-hearted movie based on an iconic 16 bit era videogame. Plot is standard for this kind of movie: Main character is tossed in our universe and must overcome some inner and outer obstacles...with some human help. What I liked about the movie isn't plot "per se" or dialogues or specials effects...but the fact that this film successfully integrate together many aspects.
For a film based on a Platformer game is a little miracle!! 1) We have lots of things from the games that are well integrated in the movie and make sense (for example... Rings, Spin Dash, Green hill zone, Idle waiting animation, Power Sneakers, Robotnik's robots red "eyes"...) 2) Sonic character design now resemble the original after the notorious trailer (so the production seems to listen to Fans).
3) Sonic and Eggman have a lots of screen time. 4) Human supporting sidekick do not steal screen time to main protagonists and is likable.
5) Lots of Sega easter eggs..even Sanic meme !
6) Great Jim C.
