​

After months of speculations, leaks and backlash from fans, we now have our first look at the Blue Blur's live action adaptation thanks to the very first official trailer courtesy of Paramount Pictures. Sonic's CGI leaked last month holds true in the final version of the movie, voiced by Ben Schwartz while Jim Carrey will be taking the role of Dr. Robotnik in an all new Sonic adventure to save the world. Without further ado, feast your eyes on your first look of this live-action take of Sonic & co.:

​

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG is a live-action adventure comedy based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega that centers on the infamously brash bright blue hedgehog. The film follows the (mis)adventures of Sonic as he navigates the complexities of life on Earth with his newfound – human – best friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden). Sonic and Tom join forces to try and stop the villainous Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) from capturing Sonic and using his immense powers for world domination. The film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.

Sonic The Hedgehog the movie hits theatres this November. What do you think of this adaptation from the trailer? Do you look forward to see how it turns out?

better than I expected, love that "doctor" guy

Well I liked Jim Carrey.

Looks like he is just playing Jim Carrey from anything Jim Carrey has been in.

What? Im sorry but what?! WHAT!? It that supposed to be Eggman?

Technically, they are calling him Dr. Robotnik. They will probably have one joke where he is called Eggman. They are probably just making this to cash in on nostalgia and from people who just played the Genesis games and no other Sonic games long ago. They even used the word "Genesis" as an "Aha! They said the thing!"

 

[Subtle Demise]

Where is my fat eggman?! Why is sonic full of static electricity? Where is his iconic unieyes?!

The trailer implies that his run-in with Sonic is what turned him into the fat bald Robotnik we know and love

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

FUCK.
FUUUUCK.
Okay. Sonic looks like absolute shit, but maybe the actual movie is like a 5/10.

 

[ViDeOmAnCiNi]

Welp, I guess that the Hellboy remake won't be the biggest bomb of 2019. sigh...

 

[Pipistrele]

This is so stupid that I can't help but love it <3

Tupac is spinning in his grave

Either way, they both suck.

Jesus Christ

Cassette tape with old song? Anthropomorphic rodent character? Hello Guardians of the Galaxy.
Not gonna lie, I thought most of it looked good, except Sonic itself. From the trailer, I actually enjoyed Jim Carrey as a thin Eggman / Robotnik. Actually works very well, considering Carrey sung the lyrics "I am the eggman..." in 1998.

Things I liked.

The rings thing for the studio stars was kind of amusing. I also wonder how the genesis pun will work out overseas.

Things I disliked

Everything else.

 

[Fugelmir]

That does not look good at all, also why put gangsters paradise as the backing track.

I'd say it's the worst musical decision in years.. But uhhh. Mortal Kombat 11.

 

[Justinde75]

this feels like a fever dream and I want to wake up already

 

[AlanJohn]

Absolutely disgusting. It's been 11 years since avatar and this is the best CGI can offer? Seriously? The prequels had better CGI characters.

 

[gnmmarechal]

fuck me wtf

 

[KirovAir]

Damn the humour is actually.. good! Jim Carrey is a great cast for Eggman as well. Just Sonic looks so god damn awful.

 

[Bladexdsl]

it's even more worse than i could have possibly imagined. flop of the year incoming right der
jim carry isn't fat enough to begin with to be eggman but that's only the beginning...

 

[huntertron1]

ok i like the style of the movie, but if there is a game using this design... dear god...
(also i have complaints. thats not a good doctor robotnik at all from what i think of it, the music is not good in my opinion when i think of sonic, why does sonic quills look electrified when detached from sonic [i actually know the answer... speed, but still] and many more complaints that i need to watch the trailer again to find.)

 

[smilodon]

Let's face it, there is no way Sonic can fit in a realistic world, period.

 

[shaunj66]

Just when SEGA were starting to treat Sonic better with Mania and delaying Team Sonic Racing, they decide to greenlight this monstrosity and make him a laughing stock again.

 

[MaxiBash]

This is permanently burned in my eyes

 

[Godofcheese]

"Oh no"
