Sonic The Hedgehog Review Thread (63% on Rotten Tomatoes)

Not when Silent Hill, Resident Evil(1), and Mortal Kombat exist.
It's bouncing between 68%-70% now so unless it gets a Pikachu-tier surprise boost in the late third then that possibility is looking a bit slim.
Still higher than Angry Birds 2 average, but yeah it dropped a bit.
The fnaf movie is also coming up and from blumhouse which could be potential.
My 83 prediction (which, to be clear, was pulled directly from my ass) would be wildly off in that case, though not as much as those who insisted 30% was a high watermark at least.
Sonic the Hedgehog will gross more domestically than Detective Pikachu. Who will make an avatar bet? (Up: Sonic beats out Detective Pikachu)
The Sonic the Hedgehog movie had a rough first impression with both fans of the franchise and the general audience. It has since recovered in public reception with a second trailer that showcased a much better redesigned Sonic and a tone more befitting of the blue blur. Currently, per The...

It serves a purpose for me on creating a baseline for whether a movie is worth a watch or not. Although even then, if I find a movie interesting despite a lower than anticipated score, I'd still watch it anyways.

The RT is going to bounce around a lot until we hit 100 reviews since a single positive/negative one is going to change the percent. When we get to 100 we should see the RT stabilize.
The real W
Uh, if this keeps going down, low 60s is the best it could do(which I predicted), otherwise 50s are a possibility.
It would need to stay fresh before 100 reviews(and it's going to barely hang on if at all), otherwise it could go in a different direction.
It probably is but now I'm intrigued at the idea of DDL playing a Sonic character. Maybe Eggman Nega if we want to pull out a particularly deep cut.
I'd be surprised if it doesn't maintain a fresh rating given that the RT is pretty much in line with the average disparity with the critic score, which hasn't moved that much.
Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the best reviewed video game movies of all time and my brain doesn't know how to process that information. I am so excited to see this for myself.
Yeah, that's true. Problem is that they can lower that average rating with more bad reviews which would affect the percentage later on. We'll see though.
I picked 15-30% in the poll, so I'll still be pleasantly surprised.
Silent Hill is probably the "best" though MK is likely the most "enjoyable." The camp can be fun and there's obviously a lot of nostalgia around it.
Like, I legitimately enjoy the Super Mario Bros. movie mainly because I loved it as a kid but it's clearly terrible. Haha.
With the negative impressions after the reveal, and the shit show surrounding the redesign- and it being based on a video game in general - this seemed like one of those opportunities for critics to be hyperbolic dickheads competing see who could come up with the worst Sonic pun. I'm stunned, to be honest lmao
I agree completely. Silent hill is the closest to "good movie", but MK has good production values and the camp levels are off the charts. Resident evil is just horrendous. I loved it when I was a kid, but holy hell is it bad.
The Sonic series as a whole lends itself well to solid storytelling and strong characters. The games were founded on Sonic's ability as a charming mascot before its game design, so characters and worlds have always come first for the series.
I'm really hoping this movie gives the series a bit of a cultural boost. It would be nice to see some better quality games from SEGA too, haha.
My god watching the RT score bounce up and down is like watching an idle screen on a DVD player and waiting for the logo to hit one of the corners.
