This may seem obvious, but the movie does have to on s things. This is often an obstacle that causes problems in many video game movies. Recall the terrible killer movies-they are about No. "Killer" game franchise is not, but the difference is that the genius sandbox level and the complex game system help to hide the fact that 47 is a blank character in design. Attempts to give him some concern have never been successful.
Or consider the Tomb Raider 2018. This movie is actually a themed movie about something-Lara Croft overcomes his father's death and inherits his legacy, a typical journey of a movie hero. But the problem is that the theme and her rise didn't really materialize, which pained the rest of the movie. The film's producers discovered a great new film, Laura Croft, but they never found the heart of the film to prove her dynamic presence.
If Sonic the Hedgehog is okay, like last year's detective Pikachu, it's a relatively simple film style and staple story. Detective Pikachu is about reconciliation between father and son, while Sonic is about a lonely toddler looking for friends and family. How it uses Sonic attributes deserves respect and savvy, but if everything is removed, it will be a very useful story. At this level, it definitely works.
Sonic is by no means a masterpiece of film, but not necessarily so. This is a solid kid movie that attracts all the right attention. It's fun in some places, stupid in some places, and more from the heart than you think. Of course, it contains some necessary action sets to get your blood drawn. It is fully capable, relatively secure and numerous, but most importantly it is fun.
I've watched Sonic movies in my room, and I can capture demographics almost perfectly. Groups of children accompanied by their parents. There are several couples or young adults in the world-children without children still have a certain age, and Sega's hedgehogs will have special significance for them. In the laughter of the children and the cheers of the old fans for the deep recommendation, they laughed. A few lines ahead of me, an over-excited young man was out of breath, predicting what would happen next, and whispered wide open to his mother. look? it works.
From a video game literacy perspective, especially those who are enough to remember Mega Drive, this movie is fun. When Sonic designed in Japan, he was a happy and lucky kid. When it was released in the West, he became a little bit cooler and a bit cruel-repainting American box art, the nails looked sharper, the brows were wrinkled, and the smirk was cut. This fits well with the marketing methods of the time, which portrayed Nintendo as a soft option for home security, and Sega became a bad boy maker of cool kids. As Sonic takes off in the West, the American version will often become the standard version of Sonic for many years, but the version in the film is closer to the original Japanese intentions behind the character.
Like I said, this is a movie about children trying to find friends and family. He found both of these things in Sheriff James Marsden, a small town called Green Hills. After a brief flashback of Sonic, we found that Sonic was hiding on the earth, because his super high-speed power was aimed and fled from his homeland, glittering on his home planet, a gorgeous game-like precise board mountain And Sega blue sky. When the same thing happened on Earth, Tom became Sonic's sole ally, and the U.S. government placed the crazy but still talented scientist Dr. Ivo Robotic Nick (Jim Carrie) on his tail.
Jim Carrey's performance as Robotnik is a performance stealer, but Ben Schwartz's Sonic is at the heart of the movie.
It's amazing how Sonic (by Ben Schwartz) has time to breathe as a legitimate character. The first twenty minutes or so was his own state, which should be as energetic and exciting as a pre-pubescent child, but at the same time often contradicted and disturbed his loneliness. Sonic played baseball himself, using his super fast speed to fill all the characters on the field, he was ecstatic, but then he turned to the empty shelf, looking for cheers, and broke his heart. Surprisingly, these moments remain valid after the initial trailer showed that Sonic's design had to go through a disastrous first attempt. Schwartz performed well, and the CG mannequin effectively inspired his emotions. When he had to interact with CG creatures, Marsden's performance was admirable.
Carrey is also excellent. Some people speculate that it makes sense to connect a 90's idol with another idol, but he is clearly as sensational as Robotnik. As we know, Robotnik and Sonic both start with their character elements until they are gradually complete, and then gradually piece together the other missing elements. Eventually, Sonic acquired his iconic red sneakers and gradually grew to his famous confident, cunning attitude. Similarly, Robotnik eventually replaced a sleek bad guy coat with a "flight suit", which is very similar to the look worn by the character's most recent 3D version as it continued to slide quickly into true madness.
All of this is the story of the couple's origins, and it has a lot of heart-as mentioned earlier, many other video game movies lack this kind of stuff. Just like Detective Pikachu, the movie struggles in other surprising places. Sonic's super high speed is often used for jokes, but when it comes to making action scenes, there is nothing particularly new or exciting here. We have already seen X-Men's Quicksilver and other super speed cars. The scene represented by Sonic's speed around the seemingly paused world has not had a noticeable effect.
There is also a chance to miss the surprisingly rich world of Sonic portrayed in the game, but in the context of the story, the author of this movie chose to tell you that you can definitely understand why Sonic on Earth is the best choice-and the writer has to let go Some sequels, this makes it easy for future movies to explore Sonic's gameplay style.
Sonic is a family comedy with some comedic effects. Some people will laugh at it for being too simple and too hasty, but this is a movie for eight-year-olds. Great, just like Detective Pikachu. If you bring children, they will love it. If you are a fan of Sonic, you may like its details. It really makes us proud, and for me, it's the best adaptation of the original material, this is the "Rooney Tunes" style 90s cartoon "Sonic the Hedgehog Adventures". However, it may spend more energy in the action sequence, but it is also more creative.
In the end, this is an amazing video game movie, and with this shocking quality, it reverses the trend and finally makes a video game movie that you may want to watch a second time. We don't have the first truly classic video game movie adaptation yet, but we have two adaptations in a row. Was the curse broken?
