The only redeeming quality of this movie will be Jim Carrey as Dr Robotnik.
Looks terrible.
I love it.
This is like watching a really expensive F1 bolid crashing into a concrete wall in the slow motion. Awful, but you just can't look away.
They could have used nearly the same design as the games and made a generic animated flick like Angry Birds and make a supremely average animated film, but no.
What boggles my mind even more is that they aren't even considering getting the ACTUAL voice actor for Sonic
"Hey, what could fuck up even more? We got the design wrong, the shoes wrong, the uncannyness on point..."
"The casting?"
"THE CASTING OF COURSE!! Perfect! Ten outta ten! Promote this man right away!!"
The sad reality of theatrical releases sadly is that star power brings in more dosh than qualified voice talent. While RCS does a great job at protraying the character, getting someone that can get the "hey x is in this movie playing the lead we should go see it!" crowd is more important for the studio.
no thanks; me no likey anti-vax celebrities still being allowed in the media
This is bullshit. Hedgehogs have multiple nipples. And he should be covered in his own shit.
And every character that touches him should get salmonella poisoning
It is already sort of happening

Who is this guy again? I remember he did something cringeworthy but I can't remember what
He's just ignorant about the ingredients.

Honestly I expect him to be the best part, either favourably like Raul Julia in Street Fighter, or not so much akin to Dennis Hopper in Super Mario Bros.
Plus, a lot of these views were force fed to him by his ex-girlfriend, Jenny McCarthy - an avid anti-vax supporter. Jimbo hasn't really been vocal about his views since his last ex-girlfriend (Cathriona White) killed herself but given the nature of the suicide and the following massive change in his behavior I feel like it's safe to say the man took inventory of himself following her death and changed. Color me optimistic.
He wrote much of the Sonic comicbook and made a shitload of echidnas, among other original characters, and sued Sega and Archie Comics several times over their use. Eventually Sega gave up, broke off their contract with Archie, started the comic again with IDW, and purged any character Penders had ever made.
Impressive how they managed to make sonic look dead and very uninteresting

Our approach was to create a system that was versatile and modular,
so that various Sonic IPs including Classic Sonic, Modern Sonic, Film
Sonic, Animation Sonic, and other events could be integrated seamlessly
within the baseline packaging look.
And the first thing they decided to do is make him vastly different to everything else he was in?

I've seen this somewhere before. Where have I....

Another still from God knows where.

That piece where he points at the viewer looks like some shit mascot for laundry detergent.
I've seen some twitter posts just loving the design and drawing fanart of it.
So the design does appeal to someone. Many even.
Expect Sonic Movie OCs starting to pop out, if they haven't already based on that image.
I am getting STRONG Alvin and the Chipmunks vibes from this. At least Alvin and the Chipmunks looked like fucking Alivin and the Chipmunks
This is turning out better than I could have imagined. Admit it, everyone. It's going to be far, far better seeing this disastrous, redesigned live action cgi movie then it would have been to see anything honestly more loyal to the Sonic franchise. Like, imagine the 'perfect' Sonic movie you could imagine, then compare it to what we're going to gain from this disaster releasing.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. This is the closest we'll ever get to this, which, in my opinion, means it could only be a terrible masterpiece.

It's interesting to see the contrast between this movie and Detective Pikachu. Sega allowed itself to become subservient to Paramount, and Paramount subsequently forced all of its terrible Hollywood ideas into the film. On the other side, The Pokemon Company clearly worked with Legendary to create designs and a plot that remained true to the spirit of the games. (TPC likely also used its clout to veto any disastrous ideas from Legendary, since they care a lot more about their characters' image than Sega cares about Sonic's.)
Now watch, Detective Pikachu will suck, Sonic will be great, and this whole post will prove to be a giant embarrassment.
