Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)

[NRRork]

What's wrong with just making an animated Sonic movie? Trying to put these characters in the "real world" by doing this live action / CGI crap never works!

I did find out this began as a Sony Pictures project before Paramount bought it up, and all the same team came over to make it. So, to me, that explains EVERYTHING.

When I was watching I kept thinking "Is this Sony? It's gotta be, right?" Forgetting the logo I saw at the start..

Just saw a trailer before Bad Boys for life today. Actually looks funny... let's hope the rest of the movie is at least as funny as the trailer has led me to believe it will be.

Shouldn't the title of this thread be updated?

[Cyrusso]

It's hard to believe, but I saw the first trailer for this before Detective Pikachu.

Don't know if I'm using this as an excuse to take my son to the movies, or my son as an excuse to satisfy my morbid curiosity, but I'm planning on taking him.

first  Review is in.

[Cyrusso]

Welp... I figure I should see it myself so I'm going to zoom on down to the movie theater next Monday and see how good this thing is. I will go in with my fingers crossed.

'Sonic the Hedgehog' Should Speed to Weekend Box Office Win – But Will It Launch a Franchise?

[Cyrusso]

It's pretty rare for a movie franchise based on a video game to happen... I still can't believe Uwe Boll somehow made Bloodrayne 2 and 3 and House of the dead 2(He even made a goddamn Far Cry movie!!!). There wasn't an Alone in the dark 2... I think. Mortal Kombat Annihilation should be seen by everybody who wants to make a video game movie just to psychologically hammer home the point of "For the love of God please do not make a piece of shit like this!!!"

$57M expected for the weekend (pushing $70M counting Monday), which AFAIK smashes even the most optimistic projections.

Listening to the fans instead of insulting them or smearing them (or outright telling them the movie wasn't even for them) was a bold and risky PR strategy for sure, but it somehow seems to have paid off.

Seems to have confused and frustrated a lot of people by being 'pretty okay-ish' and not a spectacular disaster
