These things just happen, dude. The team is trying to make this film look as good as possible and get it out for fans quickly. They've been working on this for 2 years, trying to give Sonic fans what most of them have wanted for years. If they just rushed it it wouldn't look good, we just gotta wait until we are shown footage for this. The people who are supporting this film understand that there will be delays. It's not like Sega is going to make a real Sonic movie anytime soon.

The trailer for this thing finally went up tonight.

Seriously. For a fan film? These efforts are to be commended.

[The Stryker]

Jaleel White sounds awwwwwffffuullllllll.

Also the movie. Typical fan film trash. Bunch of cos-play looking costumes and no original ideas.

[Logan]

Didn't really like the trailer. The footage just seemed... corny, I guess?

I'll hold off total judgement until it gets full release. I'm still hoping for the best.

The tag line didn't exactly help, either.

So, this thing came out.

I really enjoyed it for what it is. I definitely think it's a step in the right direction for a live action Sonic film.

Thanks for the heads up, Dane.

I'll never get those 18.5 minutes of my life back, but I can at least say that I've seen the whole thing.

That wasn't even laughingly bad; it was just bad.

[The Stryker]

Oh my goodness.

That was awful.

[Peanut]

"Way past cool, huh!?"

No, Jaleel. It isn't. It's actually really really sad.

[Donatello19]

I honestly was not impressed by the fan film, and I believe it was way overhyped. As a Sonic fan, I noticed every little inaccuracy

Inaccuracies are the least of the film's problems.

First of all, kudos to Mr. Lebron for trying to make this thing work. I'm sincerely disappointed that it didn't turn out too well. Even though there's no disguising the fact that it's a pretty poor product overall, I did at least get a bit of enjoyment out of watching him try to pull it off. Not really sure if it would have been possible for him to pull off a "good" film given his available resources and relative expertise.

Heh, at a running time of 18 minutes, I thought the film fell victim to dragging on too long without actually advancing the story at all. Seems like many shots were more interested in showcasing cameos of semi-famous internet people like James Rolfe and Doug Walker more so than actually telling a story or developing a plot. How many minutes did we spend just watching talking heads on monitor screens?

And once Sonic finally shows up... well...
Maybe there's a reason they spent so much time showcasing the talking heads.

Not everybody liked Blue Core's Mega Man film, but it was SO much better than this Sonic effort, in my opinion.

(And I'll admit it, I did like the Mega Man movie.) hehe

[Dane E5R]

Gotta say I'm surprised by the reactions. I thought it was a very solid fan attempt.

[DarkLightDragon]

I also love how they had the Chaos Emeralds in the intro, indicating that they'd be important to the plot but all that was mentioned of them was Robotnik getting one, saying that he already has two and that there's four more to get. When did this happen? For being the series's plot McGuffins for any continuity, they were barely utilized here.

Which brings me to another thing. Robotnik barely does anything here too. Yeah, I get it, it's basically pandering to SATam fans since he was like that in the show, but he did not strike me as a villain I wanted to watch, care or even enjoy. For someone who wants me to take him seriously, his wardrobe didn't reflect that. Don't make the moustache long and cartoony but keep his Classic design from the first game. Yep, realism at it's finest. Seeing him actually doing something besides sitting around and monolouging to his victims would've been more interesting than focusing on a bunch of human characters or newcasts telling us what's going on as well. Of course, Sonic doesn't appear much in the film either despite the film being called 'Sonic' so I guess it's kinda moot.

I know I'm sounding like I'm nitpicking and that I hated this fan-film, but I honestly don't. It's just below average for me. I commend this Eddie Lebron and everyone who worked on this, but that doesn't mean it should be sugarcoatted and love it for just having some popular Internet stars serving as cameos. Overall, it was just 'meh' and I'll probably end up forgetting all of it by the end of the day.

I really did like the last half minute or so of watching Sonic run around Green Hill Zone. I'm not a fan of the "realistic" Sonic design, but he worked much better in that type of world than he did in the live-action forest.

When it came to Sonic's various action shots, for the most part it seemed he (or the Badniks) was floating across the ground. The Motobugs scene was especially bad. I did like the shots where the camera seemed to follow Sonic (like the fight with the Buzz Bombers) as opposed to him just running in circles while the camera remained still (most of the movie).

[The Stryker]

I thought the green hill part was the worst. Just about everything I hate in these fan films. Creatively bankrupt and pandering. "Hey! It's the place from the game for no reason! Isn't this exciting you guys?"

There's absolutely nothing interesting about it. Sonic's design is EXACTLY how it is in the games only way sh*ttier. Couldn't be jiggered to even try to change up or alter the designs on any of the characters in any way to make it work at all. It's just lame from start to finish.

Well, I agree it didn't make sense being in the movie.

[Brodie]

Hey. This was terrible.
