Alright, I saw it.
It's pretty decent.
They clearly tried to add a narrative that Sonic misses, and I don't think they did a bad a job at it, even if it was a bit classic.
What really worked is how cute Sonic is, and I can't believe the horror of the initial design ever was greenlit. Like the film would literally be a disaster without this redesign.
Jim Carrey got a few laughs from me near the end and with the credits scene.
It's a heartwarming film, obviously it's for kids, but it has charm. If you do like Sonic, I think you'll enjoy it.
The easter eggs were really cool throughout. They weren't pushed in your face, just like respectful nods.
If you want my comparison with Pikachu, I will say this, I thought the first 2/3 of Detective Pikachu, were really great, super solid on every level, but the last third was embarrassingly awful.
This film doesn't ever reach the heights of PIkachu, but there is nothing remotely close to how awful the final act of PIkachu is.
Definitely worth a watch. There were a lot of really neat moments. And Sonic is cool again. The human cast was not unbearable. Which is enough for me.
