After the negative reception following the release of the first Sonic The Hedgehog live action movie trailer, the producers and director of the movie delayed the title's release to rework on Sonic's CGI model. Today we got a first peak at the new Sonic in a brand new trailer where the spiky protagonist looks less humanoid and more like the Blue Blur himself:

What do you think of Sonic's redesign? Will it make you reconsider watching the movie when it releases in February 14, 2020?

Now i can watch the movie

The trailer doesn't have a stick in its ass like the first one did, and Sonic look SOOOO MUCH BETTER like INFINITELY BETTER than in the first, so it's got that going for it which is nice.
Movie might still suck though.

Yeah the thing I felt more than the re-design in this trailer is that the tone seems a little more madcap and silly. It still doesn’t look good but it looks more like a generic annoying kid’s movie than whatever was going on in the first one, with the Gangster’s Paradise and that weird joke about Sonic being kidnapped in a suitcase.

I also kind of have a soft spot for Jim Carey doing his schtick. It’s not Robotnik in any way but I just can’t bring myself to hate the guy.

Stolen from elsewhere but this just shows the stark contrast in designs. In fact the old one somehow looks more terrifying next to the redesign:

First one looks like a homeless, humanoid smackhead rat.

Design looks amazing....But i still keep my expectations at the low zone.
After all, just because they fixed the design, doesn't guarantee that the movie will be good.

 

[Rabbid4240]

Thank God. The redesign looks amazing.

 

[Ashramkun]

Much better. Thank you.
But I still prefer the old silent Sonic. I don't like this "cool", "badass" and "with a lot of attitude" Sonic.

I would prefer to have more episodes of Sonic Mania Adventures with this money.

Better design, but the plot is still bogus!

 

[eyeliner]

Now that's a trailer! I have hope.

I'm getting Detective Pikachu vibes with regards to what can be discerned of the plot line from the trailer, but they listened to everything fans asked for when doing the redesign, and there's a lot to be said for that. Mad respect.

 

[IncredulousP]

The first design was a marketing ploy to make internet explode in memes. There is no bad advertisement.

I'm inclined to believe this. It looks too bad the first time around. And it worked.

 

[Justinde75]

The new design and story fit much better. But him being scared doesnt fit at all. Like he would never ask the police guy to help him. Sonic is the kinda character to ask for help and then act like he did it all by himself

 

[James_]

Wow, that's a lot better

I came here just to read the comments, with popcorns lul

It sounds like they couldn't get Ryan Reynolds to VA sonic so they got someone to do a bad impression of him.

 

[Bladexdsl]

jim still needs to be put in a fat suit

 

[The Catboy]

It still looks like a meh movie, but definitely a better movie than before

 

[Teletron1]

dramatically better, taking a peep at the February 2020 lineup shows it's the only kid's movie and it's also surrounded by hit -n - miss stinkers so it may actually do very well but you never know considering what Terminator just went through .. also makes me wonder if the Star Wars rumors are true but that's for another time

 

[NoNAND]

The new design is much better.

Better indeed,. But light years away from being good

 

[Axmand]

At least this design rocks, the movie?... well we will have to wait...

I'm going to go see this movie in theatres keeping my expectations low. I want to support their decision for the redesign showing that power should be given to the fans instead of always being dictated to. New redesign looks good though, and the entire tone of the trailer was completely different than the first time around, interesting to see how much influence the community had.
