Sonic the Hedgehog Live-Action/CGI Movie Targeting 2020 Release Date - Page 35

*TurtleTitan97* · 04-30-2019, 10:13 AM

That was even crappier than I expected.

*Vicky82* · 04-30-2019, 10:40 AM

I'm not interested in Sonic so I won't be seeing this movie, but that trailer did make me laugh. I think Jim Carrey's a good choice to play the bad guy Eggman.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 04-30-2019, 11:18 AM

Yup, that's a trailer.

*Autbot_Benz* · 04-30-2019, 11:19 AM

Another crappy movie from Paramount was ruining the Ninja Turtles not enough for them?

*neatoman* · 04-30-2019, 11:37 AM

I used to think "Maybe this Sonic design won't look bad in action", I see now that I was a fool for ever thinking that. He looks way more horrifying in action than he does in still images.

Eh, it looks about like what a Sonic the Hedgehog movie would look like. I'm not sure what people were expecting.

Green Hill Zone?

Yeah, Idk what I was expecting really. I had no high-hopes and had a general idea of what this film would be, but I guess I thought Sonic would be more likeable? Better action scenes? Like Transformers, where most of the film is trash, but there are some cool characters and action scenes to enjoy. Or maybe the trailer was just so bad that it's dragging the movie down. Really poor trailer.

Well, yeah? The Sonic games are about a group of cartoon animals tracking down magic emeralds to beat up an eggshaped scientist, his goofy looking robots and ancient monsters. The setting includes space stations, mystic temples and floating islands.

Sonic being some unique anomaly in an otherwise realistic world is not what anyone really wants from a Sonic movie. Don't get me wrong here, I expected this movie would have Sonic be the only unrealistic thing because that's just what these types of projests end up doing, it's just that nobody really wants that.

Maybe an animated CGI film about cartoon characters? Not this live action travesty. The worst part is, Sonic could have been easily adapted and actually excelled in film, yet for some reason, this needed real life human characters and settings.

This too, although I was already aware, before the trailer, that this took place in our world, so I can't say it surprised me.

*ranger_scout* · 04-30-2019, 01:15 PM

I'm not impressed with this first look. I thought that Carrey's casting made perfect sense, but I felt like he's playing Robotnick as if the Riddler from Batman Forever killed the original Robotnick and took his place. Ben Schwartz is a funny actor, but I think he might be better than this movie.

*oldmanwinters* · 04-30-2019, 02:17 PM

I'll confess I'm interested enough go watch it. And I think this poor film is gonna bomb hard.

Ah, it can't even get respect in the clickbait headlines:

I am in love with how terrible this is. No, I will not see it. Currently at 107K downvotes on YouTube.

Thats what I what I thought to especially given how successful "Into the spider verse" was. The only way I can think of a successful live adaptation with real humans set in the human world would be if they adapted or taken heavily from the sonic x cartoon series. I am not sure how well that would have translated into live action though.

Wow..... that's mildly impressive

*Autbot_Benz* · 04-30-2019, 02:55 PM

Waits for Tigerclaw to come in and say how awesome this movie is and to ignore every negative thought about this movie.

Ironically, Sonic's creepy human teeth are one of the more faithful carryover's from the video game design:
