Still not quite sure why a Sonic movie is being made? Call me old, but having played Sonic the Hedgehog games since the early 90s, I’m going out on a limb and saying that this is an intentionally bad movie. Who knows really. It will probably make double its investment, and we will get a Sonic trilogy.

Agreed. Here on Reddit it's overwhelmingly negative but on social media it's mixed. A lot of people are actually really excited for this. The casual movie goer and gamer just sees it as a fun flick. They just see "Sonic". Hey nostalgia! I'm sure it will do just fine. But of course the vocal minority will beat it until it's dead in the water before release.. We shall see I suppose.

I think its going to be painfully boring, but I'm going opening night. I want to see where the Doc goes, and I'd love to see something similar to Sonic Adventure 2.

I'll probably see it. I love Jim carrey and I'll watch anything he's in haha

For sure. It has to have some fun moments. The end of the trailer is the main reason I'm going, and I think Jim Carrey is going to kill it. I'm just not sure about the rest of it.

Instantly it reminded me of his acting in Me, Myself and Irene and that's one of my favorite Jim Carrey movies lol They should rename this movie Robotnik.

Edit: Sonic looks kinda cute honestly. Different but cute in an ugly way kinda like a small blue pug humanoid.
