I'm totally watching this movie. This is gonna be great. Sonic looks dumb, but that's fine by me.

Carrey pulled off a classic Eggman look at the end of the trailer

I knew he'd pull it off. I'm guessing Sonic eventually drove Eggman bald.

The fact it looks worse, or at least on par, with Hop, a 2011 movie that was also a live action hybrid starring James Marsden, is utterly baffling

Agreed with this.

Hop, by the way, was made on two-thirds of the budget of the Sonic Movie (63 million) and was actually animated by Illumination (yes, the Despicable Me/Minions guys).

Why do people wanna see (and thus reward) a movie that insults the fanbase and IP it's based off of?

Stop rewarding mediocrity.

(People will continue to reward mediocrity)

I mean, people go see the Disney remakes in droves so why does this even surprise me?
The general concencus is that Sonic has had mediocre games for years now, yet the fan base is still around to give it more chances. Why would you think this would be any different?

Yoh,

I need a trailer cut of this of Sonic the Hedgehog, but without Sonic.

Like, you know the Garfield without Garfield comic-strips. That, but for this trailer.

2019 and video game movies are still the laughing stock of the industry.

This trailer hits all the perfectly wrong notes, but in a way that taps into that joy that only things like "The Room" can bring. Look how much conversation it's generating on social media. Dare I say this was a genius trailer? Dare! Dare!

I don't get people saying Carrey will make this worth it. He seems to be playing a much less-funny Ace Ventura/Grinch. None of his scenes in the trailer were funny.

Seen again, really terrible... but the last scene still gives hope.
Maybe we'll see Robotinik capturing little creatures in checkered hills and constructing Death Eggs.

(probably not)

im actually interested in jim's robotnik..........looks fun.

The only thing that truly bothers me is how Sonics actual design looks.........its insanely off

I'm quite amazed that Sonic design is so bad. Like, I expected bad, but this is another level. I'm impressed by the balls of whoever approved that design, that's a man who doesn't give a shit at all.

People in this thread saying this is just as bad Detective Pikachu is exactly the reason why we will never consistently get good video game movies. There is a clear difference in quality between this abomination and Detective Pikachu that respects and copies the source material well.

Looks horrible but at the same time the trailer made me wanna see the movie. I can smell something vaguely interesting behind it, although the clear obsession by the popular myth that Sonic is "all about speed" didn't impress me at all.

It amazes me it's been 30 odd years and apart from Detective Pikachu looking great, Hollywood still doesn't get how to do video game movies.

What's with the electricity? Sonic element is wind he even has two wind base attack and a song dubbing him "Knight of the Wind"

The writers didn't do their research at all.

this would have been so much better as an animated film not a live action

what were they thinking xD
