I went into this movie with super low expectations. After the whole having to rework the sonic design, I figured this movie would be a dud. Sonic definitely surprised me with just how much fun it was to watch. This movie isn’t perfect by any means, but it is far from a bad movie.
This movie is silly, goofy, obnoxious, and it never takes itself too seriously. It’s based off of a video game and it embraces that wackiness. Jim Carrey is so good in this. For me, he delivered the most laughs in the audience. The dialogue between characters is very good and not too cheesy. They nailed the characteristics of all the sonic characters, and the new characters are solid as well.
Overall, this isn’t some groundbreaking film, but it’s fun and exactly what it wants to be. Sonic is a great family film that I think audiences of all ages will enjoy. Also, there’s some absurd product placement. Makes me want a pasta bowl.
7.2/10
