Sonic the Hedgehog - First Trailer
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
Every Jim Carey scene solid gold. Every Sonic scene solid trash. But I have no idea how a live action Sonic is supposed to look. It's a rental at least but maybe see at theaters if the reviews are good.
The problem with this design is that it doesn't invoke a short naked man in blue body paint.
Well that's definitely something. When Sonic used a spin dash to destroy that tank thing that looked fine now Sonic looks even worse than in the leaks. Jim Carrey as Eggman looks okay I mean on the classic Eggman look, bald, red suit, red goggles, etc, yet it would appear that won't be the way he looks for most of the movie. Everything else looked garbage.
Also they used Gangsta's Paradise yet no sign of Knuckles.
Has Yuji Naka seen this trailer already?

Sonic himself doesn't seem to show much swagger or personality. But I think what really saps this movie's soul is the setting in the real world. I find the use of the military for exposition to be so tiresome, be it Michael Bay's Transformers or recent Godzilla flicks or this. Where are the cute animals powering robots? Where's Green Hill Zone?
Jim Carry looked fun and the movie doesn't look bad ... just very generic (except Sonic who looks badly designed!). The screenplay checks all the marks of a generic moden videogame/fantasy/comic/cartoon screenplay:
- Main character comes to modern earth, so the studio can safe on locations and costume costs [check]
- Main characters teams up with generic human, so that the audience can relate to somebody and there is a easy reason for explanation [check]
- Main characters has problems to fit in the modern world, so he need help from the generic human. Otherwise there would be no need for him [check]
- Villain is also human [check]
- Main cast of the series isn't part of the majority of the movie to keep the budget low [check]
- Pop-Culture references instead of jokes [check]
- Pop-Song in trailer [check]
- Main character is capable to defeat the obstacles of its own, but needs a MacGuffin to actually reach his/her goal, which is out of reach for him/her alone
- Generic humans has one or a mix of the following personal problems: Single parent, is trying to date somebody, tries to reconnect to his family or a specif family member or is a loser, which needs a push into action.
- Main character and generic human get into an argument in the end of act two.
- Funny misunderstandings about modern technology
- Funny misunderstandings about the backstory or elements of the main characters canon
- Main character is full of himself
- Main character returns home
- Family, colleagues and/or friends show up and help generic human and main character in the last act
- When the military aren't the bad guys, there is a misunderstanding between them and the main character. They will have a change of heart and help him at the end, when the situation is more clear.
- The sidekick of the villain is complete idiot and not very useful.
Wrong music choice, the pandering doesn't work (gotta go fast and ring sounds), Sonic doesn't look good but passable, Carrey worked.
I go with okay. But its certainly massively lacking compared to Pikachu

One thing I actually do like about this new trailer is that it kinda gives off the vibe of being Ace Ventura 3 in all but name whenever Jim is on screen. There's obviously not going to be anything in this movie as funny as seeing a grown naked man squeeze his way out of the anus of a mechanical rhino, but I do appreciate the fact that he's gurning like it's 1994.
Jim Carrey looks like he's having a fucking ball here and that makes me really excited for what will otherwise undoubtedly be a truly awful movie
After Detective Pikachu especially, this looks like hot trash.
The Sonic franchise can't catch a break. One step forward and five steps back. At least this might be worth a laugh when it inevitably comes to Netflix.

Green Hill looks like it got turned into the town Marsden is from, judging from the logo on the cop car.
Did they not have a single person on their team tell them that sonic's design is horrible? How does this happen... There's so much disconnect between what people would like to see and what we are getting. Jim Carrey is going to act his heart out but it doesn't look like he has a good script to work with.
It's the combination of Sonic being friends with a cop and the trailer playing Gangster's Paradise that just puts me into stunned silence
It's old school Jim Carrey. His scenes make it feel like it's basically Ace Venture 3 or The Mask 2.
Using Gangstas Paradise for NO REASON!? That instantly turned me off. I will say Sonic looks better in motion than I thought considering that my expectations were super low here to begin with. Jim Carrey will probably redeem this film to some extent.
That would be very bad for people who want to see the movie you know
this movie sets up for a sequel that will never happen
which is a shame because I want to see Rouge in this style
I will watch this solely for Jim Carrey. He looks like he's having...not the time of his life, but a good time.
Username checks out! Lol
Honestly this looks so bad that it might be entertaining. Like a sharknado. I can't believe they landed Carey. He seems to be enjoying himself.
after watching that horrid trailer, I really want to find a way to delete the internet so no one else has to suffer through that
This movie is going to be canon as fuck, to the weird Genesis-era SEGA of America canon that didn't leave the boardroom until 2013 and only existed because SEGA of Japan wouldn't communicate with the other branches.
Yeah the comparisons to Detective Pikachu are extremely funny. This looks so, so, so much worse
Cant believe that this got Gangster's Paradise which plays for no reason but JoJo Part 5 didnt

Sonic looks bad, but Robotnik is on point. Reminds me a lot of the bad guy from Lazy Town (Rip Stefan).
The fact that hes wearing shoes and has a "human" body, makes me think he's naked. Its disturbing to me.
