Sonic the Hedgehog - First Trailer
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
No matter how much cinematic analysis you do, nothing justifies using Gangsta's Paradise in that trailer.
And are there enough parents that are nostalgic to make up the budget for this film? I suppose you could use it as revenge against your kids for dragging you to movies you didn't want to see.
Personally I think his past work in that regard still holds up (especially the Mask), but in this trailer the delivery just didn't work. I think it's because he doesn't look zany enough in his costume and makeup and his voice still sounds too restrained. If he had the traditional Robotnik/Eggman look from the beginning of the movie, and was going absolutely mad scientist nutso in his lines, that scene would've been legitimately funny. The framing of the scene is also bad.

It doesn't look like the worst movie in the world. Jim Carrey seems fun enough, Ben Swartz's take is fine, and the humor isn't cringe worthy.
The design though... sometimes it looks passable, other times it's just terrible. At least Sonic seems to be a decent height and not monstrously tall.

I actually don't hate this. I still think they are shooting for the wrong age demographic, but I will totally see this.
People saying Carrey looked good?
The fuck? That was the most unfunny crap I have seen in years.

I had to rewatch the Detective Pikachu trailer to wash the taste of this thing out of my mouth.
Like it's not the worst thing ever but come on. Also why bother adapting an IP if your barley gonna use anything from it.

That last shot of Carrey looked good but everything else was beyond horrible. I just can't believe they're even doing this.
God damnit... I wanted to completely and utterly hate this. Sigh... Now my wife and kids want to see it and I sort of too.
How is Sonic the hedgehog the movie that brings back 90's Jim Carrey? How come I still need that in my life in my 30's?
2019 is looking to be the year that end the video game movie curse between it and detective Pikachu.
(Edit) I can see and understand why Sonic fans are upset, but as a movie fan this trailer looks great.

Eh... I think the blow would hurt less if we heard the usual Sonic VA. But at the same time I think id rather not have that voice associated with this design...
Trailer was okay, Jim carrey "might" save it. Why in the hell that song though? Like, it could be in the movie, but did they think it would get more fans excited by sticking in in the whole trailer? So bizzare.
Slowly learning about Gaming Eras movie taste.
I LIKE Jim Carrey the comedian, he does not look good in this. And the actor he was talking to in that gag just looked lost which was the only thing remotely amusing about that gag.
Maybe if this had been out way before the Detective Pikachu movie, it wouldn't seem so bad, but yikes.
Looks like a fun and dumb movie.
The Sonic design is something only Hollywood executives would make, but the rest of it isn't as bad as I was expecting.

My dude, WHAT?!
The complaints aren't because it isn't Sonic accurate, it's because it looks bad as a movie.
This looks pretty bad, I'm there day one. More than likely going to have more fun watching this movie than I did playing Sonic Forces.
A movie can be aimed toward kids and still be good. I don't get this write off.
It looks like a generic kids' movie, but with Jim Carey - So basically, another chipmunks or smurfs film, as expected.
So I don't know, I guess I could be more offended, because it's probably just going to be a boring experience, versus a real train wreck like Dragon Ball Evolution.

As a fan of Sonic since Dec 1991 when I saw him the first time in Asda when they had a Mega Drive set up (used to be owned by walmart usa pals) I remember when and where I was the first time I saw the blue guy and I was 9yrs old.
this does not look good, maybe some of the youngsters will like it?
As a 36 yr old and never has been a fan of anything Pokemon, I have to admit Detective Pikachu looks better and more interesting.
