Everyone knows about the old design, the terrible first trailer and all of that so I won't waste any time on that, but this movie was so much better than expected. It's obviously not a fantastic film, but as a fun fuelled kids film that respects the franchise and character of Sonic The Hedgehog, it's a pretty entertaining ride. There were quite a few jokes that worked, Jim Carrey stole the show as expected, Sonic himself was very likable and entertaining, and the film itself is just a lot of fun. Silly and corny at times, sure, but it's not a bad film by any means. The CGI was also pretty decent, minus a few scenes that could've been polished up a bit, but after the original design was revealed we were all bracing ourselves for the worst quality film possible. Thankfully, this movie did the impossible and trudged through all of the negativity and responded to the negative feedback very well. Even without the redesign (although it does make the movie a lot more cute and charming), the movie would still work as a competently made flick. And judging by the surprisingly great end credits scene (Not spoiling), we could be getting a sequel that I'd totally be down for.
