All this hype surrounding it and the second movie is crazy. I like sonic okay enough, but just like with detective pikachu that terrifying 3d hairy "photo-realistic" look of the cartoon characters was way too horrifying for me to imagine them being enjoyable enough to watch.

Is it a good movie?

Yes, you should give it a try. The Sonic model is also not as scary/ugly as pikachu (after his redesign).

As a rule, I'm not a fan of Sonic, and have been known to ridicule the franchise and fandom, but the film was actually really good.

Yeah, I don't think they could've done a better Sonic-in-the-real-world movie. Not that it's the greatest movie of all time or anything but it's an enjoyable watch and actually feels like Sonic.

First was great.

Second is still pretty decent (besides the wedding parts).

Probably the best video game adaptations ever, tbh.

I actually like 2 more than 1 as 1 honestly didnt feel like a true Sonic movie, like Sonic and Robotnik couldve been completely different characters and tell the same story with virtually no other changes.

professional reviewers took issue with the lack of focus on the Hoomans while game fans took issues with the humans the wedding scene and the dance scene were way too long for them while for normies they didn't go on long enough. Those are the complaints I see the most. A few others are Tails's game VA sucking compared to professionals like Ben and Idria which I don't get and there are a few people who are upset at Tails's character is nearly one for one with his game self.

Seriously, that's a complaint? Ben and Idris aren't even professional voice actors, whereas Colleen does it for a living. At that point I feel like people are nitpicking for no reason.

I wasn't expecting that much but it surpassed my expectations and then some. I enjoy that it's following the games still, but not 1-1 and us even intermingling it all with its own original plot element's thrown in.

I actually liked 2 more than 1. Tails and Knuckles were done really well and robotnik was even more Robotnik-like in that one.

It was somewhat more faithful to the games, while at the same time expanding the Sonic movie-verse mythology with Longclaw, Knuckle's tribe, and the other worlds.

Sonic 2 does retain a lot of elements from the first except the action is better and the jokes are funnier.

even that 20 minute scene in Hawaii involving the humans made me lol.

Was pleasantly surprised by the first for the standards of a kids movie, Whenever I see a hollywood adaptation of a children's property I tend to expect things in line with 2002 scooby-doo.

However, I think 2 was a bad movie in comparison to the first.

that's what i like about these movies: they dont take themselves seriously and are fully aware of that!

nobody looks at Sonic The Hedgehog and thinks "yeah, we can turn this into an Oscar worthy masterpiece!" lol

I don't know what the exact bar is for declaring oneself a 'professional' VA, but Ben voiced Dewey Duck for three seasons of the Ducktales reboot (which is pretty much the same voice he used for Sonic).

Can anyone explain to me the plan GUN had by fabricating the wedding and what not to capture sonic who wasn't going to be there and only ended up there because eggman attacked him and he needed saving?

I would say at least a majority of one's work should be in VA to be considered a professional. Of course that's not to say that regular actors can't be good VAs.

Looking at his Wikipedia page, I didn't realize Ben had so many VA roles. I'd feel comfortable calling him a pro even though a majority of his work is live action.

I've always considered a VA actor to be one that professionally creates character voices for a specific animated character. Like Tara Strong voices several cartoons that you wouldn't know was Tara strong unless you were listening for it, as she disguises her natural voice to fit the character.

Meanwhile, you have actors like George Lopez who throw in their voice to many animated movies, but in all those movies the characters just sound like George Lopez. Did he provide his voice for animated characters? Yes, but I wouldn't consider him a professional VA actor. Just an actor doing VA work.

I'd put Ben in the second camp, unless he's done specific work where he makes unique voices for different characters.

Both of the movies are good.

Keep in mind, they're still aimed for children and so the plots can be kinda wacky and the jokes pretty stupid, but I still appreciate how faithful they're being to the source material.

The worst part of the movies is when they focus on the human characters, but it seems they're learning their lesson with that and pushing them further away from the main story with each movie. So I'm crossing my fingers they won't have much screen time in the 3rd one at all.

Speaking of the 3rd one, though, I'm legit hyped for it after seeing the 2nd movie's credit scene.

They probably figured Sonic would've been brought along to the wedding.

Tara strong is instantly recognizable when she does her Bubbles voice I know her bubbles voice anywhere
