In other words it was Okay.

Actually made money though when most of them flop.

VG movies could work if they stop trying to relate to the audience and put effort into them. I mean I’m not gonna judge this movie quite yet, but why do we need this human character with Sonic? Who is he for?

It’s kinda the same thing with Chris in Sonic X, he shouldn’t have been there at all.

Not saying humans can’t be within Sonic, I mean just look at Robotnik and G.U.N. But they aren’t there to try and have the audience feel related to the universe, they are apart of it. Now if it works for this movie and the character isn’t just there, then ok but there’s still the other aspect of putting effort.

On a side note I’m still waiting for Nintendo to make that Starfox anime. That short anime they did to promote Zero was amazing. I feel Nintendo has a lot of IPs that can work fantastic, it’s not the 80/90s anymore Nintendo, you can do it!

Movie would've been better in the style of a pixar film, Rather then try and have Sonic run around in the real world.

Also this yeah, couldn’t edit it in, in time. Feel like a lot of VG movies would be better to just be animated, now some could be LA sure. But a good portion would probably be better in the former format. Not like it hasn’t been proven that animated movies can’t make bank either.

Seriously complaining about them taking feedback?

I'm glad they're listening to feedback but I dunno if it's gonna make a difference

If only more director's listen to fan feedback.

I feel like Voldemort could have created a horcrux just via the act of watching this movie.

Looks fake, Glad it's not the real one.

Sadly we will probably wish it was.

Only you would wish for that, Halfwit.

Nah I am just kind of looking forward to the Sonic Fan's pain seizures after seeing it.

It's just a joke, yeah.

Sonic's initial horrible design became a meme --- and Internet never forgives, never forgets.

Look I love Sonic, one of my earliest memories is playing this game as a bright-eyed lil kid and so one would think I would be thrilled to see a live-action movie on this beloved video game series.

And maybe my naive and innocent younger self would have been.

But the cynical old man I am today thinks that this trailer just looks like Hollywood messing up yet another beloved video game franchise.

Jim Carrey's comments on the Sonic movie's CGI controversy

"I don't know quite how I feel about the audience being in on the creation of it," Carrey said at the Television Critics Association presentation on Aug. 2. "We'll see what that entails because sometimes you find that the collective consciousness decides it wants something and then when it gets it ... 'I just wanted it, I didn't care about it. I just jumped on the bandwagon.' Ownership of anything is going out the window for all of us."

Adi Shankar responds to Jim's comments

Dear Jim,

The audience isn’t “in on the creation” of the film you acted in. Sonic the Hedgehog was already created, decades ago. This film you lended your talents to adapted him incorrectly. It’s this perspective that Hollywood is entitled to dismantle iconography as it sees fit and reassemble it in ways that often bear little resemblance to the source that has led to the friction between gamers and the film industry.

Best,

Adi

Well, he's not wrong. This "Hollywood knows best" attitude is responsible for plenty of terrible adaptations over the years.

Yep, They always think that they can reinvent the wheel.

The movie has been delayed. This does not seem appropriate everybody is disappointed after the update came in.
