Sonic le film est l’histoire du hérisson bleu le plus rapide du monde qui arrive sur Terre, sa nouvelle maison. Dans cette comédie d’aventure familiale en live-action, Sonic et son nouveau meilleur ami Tom (James Marsden) font équipe pour sauver la planète du diabolique Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey), bien déterminé à régner sur le monde entier.

Mieux dirigé, plus inventif et légèrement plus mouvementé que des films tels que Garfield, Yogi l'ours ou Stuart Little, mais sinon je ne vois pas de différence significative par rapport à ces derniers. Pour les fans de jeux vidéo et les enfants jusqu'à dix ans, ça va certainement, mais sinon, Sonic le hérisson est simplement un spectacle familial très moyen qui parfois sous-estime trop l'intelligence du spectateur. Jim Carrey, hyperstylisé, est bon, sauf quand il bascule dans le ridicule. Il est remarquable à quel point les créateurs utilisent fréquemment la capacité de Sonic à courir rapidement lorsqu'ils en ont besoin pour créer une blague, mais presque jamais quand cela serait approprié d'un point de vue pratique pour résoudre des situations problématiques dans lesquelles se retrouvent les héros. Heureusement, les fans ont hurlé sur internet à propos du nouveau design de Sonic, car s'il était resté avec le design original, nous aurions eu un nouveau Howard the Duck. J'espère donc qu'ils sont allés au cinéma au moins pour ça. ()
Sonic the Hedgehog, the fastest creature in the universe, is hiding on Earth. Or rather, he was hiding, because after one screw-up, he's on the radar and both the military and the mad inventor Robotnik are after him. So Sonic and his human buddy Tom have to figure a way out. Based on the famous computer game franchise, the feature-length adventure is inoffensive and relaxed family entertainment, but it tries too hard to stick to the beaten track, and is ultimately set apart from the rest by the hero himself, who is incredibly likeable.

The creators really nailed it. I wasn’t sure how you could turn Sonic the Hedgehog into a live-action movie, but Jim Carrey as Robotnik made it all make sense. It’s totally doable, and the result is more than just fine—it’s actually pretty fun. ()
This outsider turned out to be a nice hit, and a success financially as well. Surprisingly, the film is highly entertaining and family friendly, and you will take an instant liking to the lovable Sonic the Hedgehog and James Marsden as well. Jim Carrey, on the other hand, makes his big comeback and delivers exactly why we love him as an actor. The humour is apt, the visuals are decent and the emotions work, so for me a pleasant surprise. I had fun. Story***, Action***, Humor****, Violence>No, Entertainment****,Music***. 7/10. ()
Entertaining, uncomplicated baloney based on a cartoon my sister and I used to watch on TV when we were kids. Sonic is great, the Donut Lord is also fine (even though it is obvious that Marsden had a problem speaking with nobody), but Carrey’s Robotnik is really classy. Jim’s escapades improve the movie slightly in my eyes. Sonic’s dance in the (EVIL) cabin, his yelling and contempt for people and basically everything apart from his drones (and now with COVID-19, Amazon will deliver even faster than we dreamed) are scenes worth watching more than once. "Do you think I’m an idiot? Of course I’ll have your latte. You make a great latte!" ()
Yes, I too am glad that Sonic ultimately looks how he looks and not how he should have looked. However, the film's main trump card is not the blue digital hedgehog, but a completely non-digital and completely fabulous Jim Carrey. The rest of Sonic the Hedgehog certainly won't offend anyone (perhaps if I hadn't seen X-Men: Days of Future Past, that bar scene would have excited me and wouldn't seem stolen to me), but it's nothing spectacular, either. Buy you know who is spectacular? Jim Carrey. ()
Sonic the Hedgehog is a brisk film with a very likable main character, a classically (sort of) overacting Jim Carrey and a few funny moments, mainly provided by Sonic and the verbose Natasha Rothwell. The film flows along nicely in the cinema, and even though you basically know from the beginning how it's all going to turn out, it still doesn't get boring thanks to its lively pace. There were two scenes where I couldn't help but think of Quicksilver from the X-Men, and that's meant in a good way. A dynamically shot one-off that doesn't surprise but doesn't offend either. ()
This film is perhaps a little too adult for children and a little too childish for adults, and thus it doesn't quite appeal to either group. I'd compare it to the recent Detective Pikachu, which ended up about as mediocre. Jim Carrey has the luxury of inhabiting a role for the first time in a long time, he can sometimes appear to be overacting, but being a children's film he probably needs to show a bit more mimicry. Likewise, James Marsden is just a likeable guy to watch and seems natural, and last but not least, the visually accomplished Sonic deserves praise. I have not much to say about the visuals, the film as a whole is good and as a family entertainment with the kids for an evening it fits beautifully, but the rest can skip it because Sonic doesn't have much to surprise.

I didn’t grow up in the 90s, but I still know this excellent game series starring the blue hedgehog on the SEGA console. That made me unsure of what to expect from the film adaptation. The games themselves don’t offer a complex story, quite the opposite in fact. But the creators, led by Jeff Fowler, handled it perfectly and made the most of the premise. The result is a completely satisfying family comedy that at times offers truly original action sequences. Add to this mix the return of Jim Carrey, and you’ve got a recipe for success. I’m honestly happy for Jim. As a viewer, I could see in every scene just how much he was enjoying his return to Hollywood. And we, the audience, can only wish him all the best. For me, the first installment gets 6.5/10. ()
