In turn Metacritic tape rating is equal to 46 points based 29 reviews by critics. Below are excerpts from some of the reviews.
“Sonic in Cinema” is such a hello from the past. Director Jeff Fowler obviously hopes that the love for the Blue Hedgehog, born in 1991, will be enough motivation to drag viewers into movie theaters on a dynamic adventure with CG graphics. The film is designed for children, but parents accompanying them, at least, will be able to get vivid impressions of the game of Jim Carrey, which grimaces as brightly as he did in the 90s. Dr. Robotnik performed by Kerry sometimes attracts even more attention than hyperactive Sonic, and James Marsden’s goodie successfully balance the whole dynamic. Last year, “Sonic” was able to raise a real scandal that erupted against the background of the dubious design of the blue hedgehog, which forced the film’s technical team to completely redo their work in the shortest possible time. However, in the end, the picture was the most kind and harmless, “- The hollywood reporter.
“Sonic at the Cinema” is a real hit of 1996. Immediately in good and bad ways at the same time. Banal jokes, recognizable cliches, Jim Carrey, playing Jim Carrey again. Even the fact that we have a movie adaptation of Sonic’s adventures. The whole project seemed to be invented, written and put into production several decades ago. And this, of course, has its own share of charm. Drop the crazy CGI graphics, and in essence, Sonic will remain just a simple kid’s movie based on the popular SEGA series of games. The Jeff Fowler’s tape feels like a sincere relic from the blockbuster era of the past, ” Vulture.
“If you compare“ Sonic in Cinema ”with all the other adaptations of the games over the past couple of decades, then we have a real miracle. Now I understand why the authors of the film were not afraid to spend their time and money on fixing the initial unsuccessful design of Sonic. They just succeeded very good movie, and they sincerely wanted to attract viewers to it, “- Forbes.
“The film turned out to be quite good. Both children and game fans will enjoy: Sonic runs fast, Kerry grimaces in every possible way. Only now, all the creative ends very quickly,” – USA Today.
“It’s a normal movie. It never comes to a better description. Especially for Sonic hardcore fans who are still not sure how they should relate to the film adaptation. The film came out normal. A banal plot, not the most memorable scenario, but general sincerity is very contagious. At the heart of everything is a rustic story about what it means to grow up and find your place, only the main roles were superfast blue hedgehog and mustachioed Jim Carrey.If you expect a strong adaptation of Sonic Adventure or something similar in spirit to the games – there’s nothing in the movie Just like there is no ready, it just is not for you to take it off for your younger brother is therefore simply discard any prejudices and then be able to get genuine pleasure from watching “… – Kotaku.
“If you’ve been a long-time fan of Sonic since the nineties or zero years and expect to see in Sonic in Cinema some deep references that will please your refined taste and critical thinking, then get ready for disappointment. And if you just want to enjoy a fun and dynamic a movie with interesting characters, then you are likely to remain just as disappointed. Because the adaptation of Sonic feels extremely empty, albeit quite beautiful, ” Mashable.
“Yes, the plot in“ Sonic in Cinema ”is somewhat predictable and is aimed primarily at children. However, here and there sly cunning references to pop culture slip in, clearly reflecting the talents of scriptwriters. Thus, the film can appeal to people of all ages. Can I say that Sonic is the first really fascinating film of this year? Yes, perhaps, ” The weekend warrior.
The Russian premiere of “Sonic in Cinema” will be held on February 20.
