Review
Just like the Sega videogame you can expect a lot of speed and high energy scenes. I think that was probably one of my favorite parts of the film actually. The film creators did an amazing job with the computer-generated scenes and brought the film together so seamlessly. If you recall the film had an original release date of November, but the outcry on the interwebs about the “look” of Sonic just not feeling right had the team redo the main man to the cutie that he is now. They did an outstanding job on Sonic in my opinion.
James Marsden, Jim Carrey, and Tika Sumpter are fantastic and the entire cast does a phenomenal job in this family-friendly film. Yes, that’s right I am calling SONIC THE HEDGEHOG movie a fun family film. It’s probably a great segway to the video game too if you’ve still got the game and console too.
Good For Kids?
My 8-year old LOVED SONIC THE HEDGEHOG film and so did my 13-year-old. One of the best things about the film were the messages. Sonic aka the blue devil, has a lot to overcome here on Earth. There’s no one here like him and he has the best attitude and the biggest heart. He just wants to be accepted, sound like anyone you know? While the storyline may sound similar to other coming of age films, this one includes a loveable hedgehog that is just trying to find his place.
While it’s set as an origin story, anyone that wasn’t familiar with the video game got to fall in love with Sonic as a standalone too.

ABOUT SONIC THE HEDGEHOG MOVIE
Powered with incredible speed, Sonic the Hedgehog (voiced by Ben Schwartz), aka The Blue Blur, embraces his new home on Earth. That is until he accidentally knocks out the power grid and sparks the attention of super-uncool evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey). Now it’s super-villain vs. super-sonic in an all-out race across the globe to stop Robotnik from using his unique power for world domination. Sonic teams up with The Donut Lord, aka Sheriff Tom Wachowski (James Marsden), to save the planet in this action-packed hit that’s fun for the whole family.
We havent seen it yes but I think my little boys (and the husband who is really just another kid) would love this movie.
They play all the games and love the old cartoon shows so the movie would be a huge hit
