Add more as needed.

Also, got a certain 5" figure light-up two pack from the movie ready for a Target pickup.

They better play that fucking song in the movie, is all I'll say. If Sonic X could (well, the JP dub, FUCK 4Kids), they should be able to.

Don't trust these shills, I will let you know when I get out my Chilly Dog rating scale.

 

[ManaByte]

This will make more than Mufasa.

 

[jason10mm]

I just need to know how much runtime is taken up by the damned fat sister. My enjoyment of these films is directly proportional to the vacuum created by her subplot.

 

[Saber]

Nah, I would prefer take my own judgement. Not that Sonic movies weren't good or anything, but I would tone down the overglorification alot. "Legendary", lol right

 

[analog_future]

Definitely excited for this and will be taking the family to see this over Christmas break

I really hope so, I'm tired of low-effort trash movies.

Easily, Mufasa looks terrible.

Regardless of praise or slander, this matters the most:

...this third film feels like it’s aimed at young adults with its story and tone although the jokes never fail to find their place for the younger audience.

It means that the director/writers are properly keeping up with the shift in tone from the Genesis/Saturn games to the Dreamcast/Gamecube games.

But then shouldn’t that mean the quality perpetually keeps going down?

The only difference between Sonic and nearly every other cartoon in the early 2000s that suddenly shifted to a more serious tone is that Sonic didn't have the best writers to handle the transition. We will see if they handle it better this time around.

The first two were surprisingly entertaining and funny. Looking forward to this installment.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I really enjoyed the first two but I don’t give any weight to these early bullshit impressions especially when they say stuff like “it’s the best Sonic movie EVER!!”

WTF there are only 2 others, it’s not like there is some long history of Sonic movies.

 

[Come On Tars]

first 2 had banger songs. wonder if this will keep it up

"While the first film felt like it was a kids film, this third film feels like it’s aimed at young adults with its story and tone"

Disappointing. My 6 year old nephew loves Sonic, but I'm not sure about taking him to a film that is aimed at young adults. I guess as long as there is no full blown adult content then it should be fine, but that tweet has filled me with some doubts. I'm not expecting hard-core sex and blood, but making it aimed at young adults might make it boring for young children.

Why have they done this? This is Sonic, FFS. It should be aimed at young children only. Who the fuck makes a Sonic film aimed at young adults?

I'm guessing they let Jim carrey.off the leash a little more so his father son scenes are a bit more teen with the humor.

Sonic as of Adventure always leaned towards young adults. Adventure 2 in particular always felt like it was for 13-17 year olds. Don't take the quote so literally, your nephew will love it.

 

[AJUMP23]

I think they meant sonic is for kids and dumb adults, not young adults.

 

[BlackTron]

If it's Sonic for young adults then it's pretty much the same thing without being able to pull a fast one on the audience with a load of filler wedding scenes?

They got Jelly Roll for this movie.

 

[nbcjr]

Now i'm in doubt if this movie is suitable for kids or not.

 

[Lunarorbit]

It's sonic with Jim Carrey. All your kids and nephews will be fine.

The hentai scene in the 3rd act that goes after Dr robotnic is a little dicey though. Might wanna read them the Dream of the Fishermans Wife to get them up to date. There's even pictures to help them understand the story

 

[Outlier]

Are you telling me that they will finally confirm that Eggman and Dr. Robotnik are not the same person, but related!?

I've always had this theory, even though I know it's originally just a localization situation.

I haven't seen any of the movies, so I've no idea who the guy on the right should be.

I don't see why not, as Eggman and Robotnik are suppose to have two different personalities. Their both evil, but one is suppose to be sinister, while the other is goofy.

Fingers crossed we get human x hedgehog cross species romance inspired by Sonic 2006

No, Eggman and Robotnik are one and the same. The one we’ve been following since the first movie is Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik, and the person on the right is his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik. This is following the storyline of the Sonic Adventure 2 video game but changing it so Gerald is still alive in the present (whereas in the game he dies in a flashback).

Thank you.
I've been out of the loop, so long.

Is the Pink Hedgehog and the Bat in this one?
