Whether you’ve played a few games, a lot, Classic, Modern, and/or every era and spin-off in between, this is a truly astounding movie. It’s not often that a video-game based movie is good; let alone does so well with the mainstream. This is truly a break in that chain. I don’t have many nitpicks with it, but I won’t pretend it’s perfect. Sure; the product placement is blatant and, seeing how this was also aimed towards kids, there are a few less-enjoyable jokes and references. However, the producers did well not only to develop a backstory and character for Sonic, but to be passionate about the fans; including nods to the games and their localization changes in the 90s, and straight up changing his design after fan critique. Sonic the Hedgehog did well to amuse me and I’m sure it did the same for first-timers and old fans alike.
