Movie Review | Sonic the Hedgehog

02.24.2020 – Sonic the Hedgehog is changing the way you see video games adapted into a live-action film. The movie holds up to the promise and hopes of the fans that followed its development after the reveal of what could have been a disastrous concept, which was saved by the fandom all over the world. It is considered a breakthrough on how video games have been adopted into the big screen and Sonic leads that reinvigorated the genre that would potentially become a franchise. Despite being a hit in various markets it is still considered a niche film for those who have grown up and played the game dating back to SEGA’s 16-Bit Mega Drive game console from the 1990s. But word of mouth travels with a supersonic speed that would continue to make this film a must watch you’ll see. The new reality for Sonic is simple in narrative and greatly executed performances from James Mardsen and the scene stealing Jim Carrey as the maniacal genius of Doctor Robotnik can’t be contained in this impressive ‘little’ film that most think is a child’s film, but actually it is for everyone to appreciate just like how he is being played in the video games is something worthy of a second watch in cinemas.
