The First Reactions To Sonic The Hedgehog Are Here

It feels like we've been waiting a lifetime for this moment, although it's finally here upon us: Sonic the Hedgehog is finally hitting theaters!


The film is willing to create its big screen debut this Friday (February 14), and fans of the "fastest thing alive" will have the ability to file into theaters to watch the tale come to life.


However right following the big kerfuffle over Sonic's original design in the movie and the massive change he went through immediately following the world wide web went wild over the opening trailer, we've all been dying to be able to see how the film would actually play out. Would it be a triumphant moment for the hedgehog and his loyal fans, or would it fall victim to the video game turned movie curse that so several have dealt with before it?


for now, it looks like smooth sailing, Sonic fans – folks do appear to be digging film. Here are a few of the opening reactions from critics who have already taken in the vibrant new adventure.


GameSpot's Chastity Vicencio called the film "fun, ridiculous, and charming, and a "nostalgic treat" to be able to see Jim Carrey back in a familiar sort of role.


Writer Gary Whitta called the movie "an absolute blast."


GameSpot's Tamoor Hussein was "very happy to report" that the movie is "absolutely fantastic."


Streamer JackSepticEye called it "legitimately excellent saying he "had a stupid smile" on his face the entire time.


YouTuber Tyler Calvert noted that the film did a good job" bringing Sonic to the big screen. He also called Carrey "solid" as Robotnik.


It looks like this may would be one of the only video game movies (aside from Ryan Reynolds' Detective Pikachu) to deliver in terms of excellent. Obviously, in case you really aspire to be able to see how it is for yourself, you could take your Valentine to the theater on Friday to check it out.
