I don’t know, I enjoyed it quite a bit for what it was. It was definitely better than Detective Pikachu. Still would rather have a 2D animated movie based on the original games though.
Fair enough, I’ll agree to disagree; though I can’t help but feel like the movie would’ve worked better (for me, anyway) grounded in Sonic’s world rather than Earth. In fact a friend was telling me that the post credits scenes suggest that the next film will probably take place in Sonic’s world, which I might be down for, if they at least tone down Sonic being generally annoying. The only character I found mildly interesting was the old man who was trying to prove the existence of the “blue devil”.
Being able to form some sort of connection to Sonic’s character is a big reason the movie was so enjoyable for me at least. I was fond of pretty much all the characters, nobody in particular made me annoyed or bored. I found the whole story interesting enough to be invested.
The only things that actually bug me are some of the fart/poopy jokes (there aren’t even that many thankfully), the flossing, and the Zillow product placement.
