A whole new speed of hero.
Powered with incredible speed, Sonic The Hedgehog embraces his new home on Earth. That is, until Sonic sparks the attention of super-uncool evil genius Dr. Robotnik. Now it’s super-villain vs. super-sonic in an all-out race across the globe to stop Robotnik from using Sonic’s unique power for world domination.

This eponymous blue ericaceous critter can run like the wind and then turn himself into a projectile that can pack quite a punch. This isn't so normal on his home planet of "Mobius" so he is despatched to the more peaceable climes of Earth where he will hopefully just settle in. Despite the fact that there isn't exactly a surfeit of blue hedgehogs on this planet, he seems to fit into his small town American society and befriends "Tom" (James Marsden) readily enough. Being young and enthusiastic, he hasn't quite mastered his powers and when he let's loose accidentally one evening, Uncle Sam has to investigate. For that task, they bring in the scientist "Dr. Robotnik" (Jim Carrey). He quickly discovers the source of the problem and immediately realises that he might be able to put this to great use empowering his own army of menacing, laser-firing, gadgets that will help him to take over the world. The characterisation of "Sonic" here is quite fun, buzzing around all over the place with a congenial attitude and helped by a well meaning human who treats him more like a son than a spiny pet. There's also loads of action going on and it rarely sits still for long enough for us to get bored. Carrey, on the other hand, just reminded me of Terry-Thomas, only without the mischievous charm - I always found he over-egged his performances; there's just too much prattle and towards the end it starts to become just a little too cloying as the adventures start to give way to sentiment. Like so many films about visitors from another planet, though, it reminds you that if they ever do come, maybe the USA is not the friendliest place for them to arrive! It's nothing really very original, but it passes an hour and an half amiably enough.

"Sonic the Hedgehog" was an enjoyable film; it has funny moments, good shots, and they did Sonic justice. It had good music too; I just want to point that out in an awkward location in the review. Jim Carrey was a good Dr. Robotnik; I enjoyed his scenes, and I enjoyed how he played him. The flossing, ya know? The dance? Why does Sonic do it twice? Yeah, you heard me, TWICE??? Other than that, I can't wait to see the second film. I swear to God, if Tails or someone in the damn film flosses, I will cry.

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. This is surprisingly good, and I went in with really low expectations. Sonic has a long and very weird fanbase, along with a series of weird, weird choices in game designs. The concept is very forced, but once you get past that and into actual Sonic content, it is actually a lot of fun. Jim Carrey does a wonderful version of Dr. (Eggman) Robotnik, and the change to him originating in on Earth 1 actually works really well. I feel like there is a possibility for a series of movies surrounding the dark organization Robotnik was from. Carrey, Marsden, and the Sonic character have a some great chemistry. While its not a great movie, it's definitely a lot of fun, and I think that is the right choice for a Sonic movie.

My roommate is a **huge** Sonic fan, and she loved it. I never really cared for the games as a kid, but I liked them a lot more than I did this movie. _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._

Cute, family-friendly, comedy that's entertaining enough and sees Jim Carrey back in whacky, over-the-top form that's been missing the past decade plus it seems, and he works so well in this kind of film. Nothing innovative and the visual effects are hit or miss, however Sonic's design was well done (so thankfully the initial version was scrapped and redone from scratch). **3.5/5**
