I really had no interest in watching the trailer until I saw someone on youtube mention that it was set to Gangsters Paradise. This looks hilariously bad.

I don't understand there being demand for Sonic the hedgehog content.

And, why is Jim Carey taking jobs like this?

James Marsden was "unavail" to do my show because he's doing... THIS!?

That dude needs a new freaking agent. He's so much better than this drek.

This was my reaction when I saw him, was less surprised about Jim Carey.

I have already seen it. I was invited to a special screening. Kids will like it. At least many at the screening seemed to really enjoy it. Adults who played the original Sonic video games might get some nostalgia. IMO the best thing about the movie was Jim Carrey. It was nice to see him being more "classic" Jim Carrey.

The weirdest thing for me was seeing the movie with pre-visualizations. It was so weird seeing a basic of basic graphic where Sonic was and in one case a dude in a green screen outfit. In some cases I really can't unsee it.

I can't really give any additional details or my opinion without fear of guys in suits coming and knocking on my door to deliver papers.

They really changed his look. Much of the preview I had seen was pre-visualization but they did have entire sequences with the animation completed. I am actually shocked they put that much effort into changing what I had originally seen.

Saw it with my four-year old daughter. She loved it, of course. I found it amusing at times. Not the worst way to kill 90 minutes or so.

Agree, it wasn’t terrible. My boys liked it. I think this is the first movie where they knew more about the characters than I.

I couldn't believe this led the box office for two weeks...until I remembered I've only seen one movie with my AMC stubs this month because there's nothing worth watching :)

Actually... this was terrible. A few funny bits by Jim Carrey, and while the FX were good, we’ve seen this before many times.

Best part of the movie was the mid credit scene.

I hear Jim Carey did a very good job

He did and it was a decent video game movie where so many are so bad. My kids were entertained and I didn't want to talk out. So, overall it's a win for family entertainment.

A kids movie with no kids.

I don't think this was a typical kids movie. This was a family move meant to appeal to kids and many people who grew up with Sonic and are now adults.

And failed.

Can you explain? Do you mean for you? My kids loved it and I totally felt nostalgic about it. I thought Jim Carey was great. It's the 2nd highest grossing movie based off of a video game surpassing Tomb Raider and has Pokeman Detective Pikachu on it's radar. The audience score is 93%.

Seems like it succeeded but maybe I don't understand what you mean unless you are referencing your personal feelings which is fair.

Not great but definitely entertaining.
