I'm happy about Jim Carrey reprising his role as Doctor Robotnik

Ok I'm hyped. Heavily influenced by SA2 but not the same.
In SA2 all the characters including Shadow team up to stop the final boss. Here we have Dr. Robotnik teaming up with the gang to defeat Shadow. I wonder if Shadow still "turns good" in the end and helps fight the real final boss again. They dropped Maria in there so he probably has a similar arc.
The dynamic of Dr and Sonic teaming up already makes it more interesting than 2 which was kinda like 1 but with extra bad filler parts.
Edit: can't believe real live action Gerald Robotnik exists.

Can’t wait! I wouldn’t call them great movies but I enjoyed the hell out of the first two and my kids really loved them. For both movies their school had a special event where they rented out the whole theater for the kids, it was a blast.
But I’m assuming this one will be rated R since it has Shadow so maybe it’ll be for the parents only this time.

I'm really happy with how the previous two movies turned out. They really are fans of the videogames. I just hope there are less focus on the human character except on James Marsden

I suppose I’ll have to take my child to watch this.

It actually looks pretty good. Happy they found the formula that worked after the disastrous initial trailer of the first movie. I'm not one to watch movies nowadays but this will be one of them.

I hope Sonic levels the playing field by hastily teaching himself

He probably is happy playing the character which is good.

He said in interviews that he keeps doing these movies to connect with his younger relatives.

I did not know Keanu Reeves was doing Shadow's voice. Good casting!
Ya know, I know I am in the minority, but these movies are much better to me than the Super Mario Bros movie. Sure, they're not 1 to 1 accurate with the games, but they're still faithful in their own way. It just seems like these do something we haven't seen before, and aren't a rehash.

Looks actually decent. I guess Robotnik will grow fatter in time.

He is actually the star of the movie. Super cool.
Agreed. Both were great fun. My son and I can’t wait for this!

These movies have all been surprisingly awesome, nostalgic, and fun. Jim Carrey in this role so far has reminded me of peak 90s Jim and I'm all here for it.
Sonic is my favorite VG character, even though the last game I played was Sonic Heroes (dreadful), because it turned me off from the games, but not the character.
That said, I am very happy for the success of the movies, even though I've only seen the trailer for the first movie, cause I just don't care. lol

Can't believe we went from this design reveal for Sonic 1:
To now, where it's a successfully film franchise that will soon be a trilogy.

I feel like they did that "reveal" on purpose to receive backlash and always intended to have Sonic look like he does now. They're secretly marketing geniuses.Can't believe we went from this design reveal for Sonic 1:

Really hope they re-use some parts of SA2 OST. It still holds up imo

Nice, I've seen the other two with some friends and they were both fun movies, great popcorn flicks.
I'm honestly looking forward to this. The first was inoffensive, but the second I really enjoyed (even if it was a mess, feeling like two different movies crammed together).
While I wouldn't say they're amazing, I actually do feel like there's real potential for it as its own little "cinematic universe". The Knuckles show on Paramount was pretty forgettable, but seems like it had a considerable budget; the CGI it had looked great, I feel like they could tell a more engaging story if they wanted.

I could hardly believe it when I heard it. The soundtrack has been the one area of the film series that has consistently been lacking, would be incredible if they brought in Crush 40 for this.

Can't believe we're in the reality where Sonic of all things is one of the only movie adaptions that hasn't been totally mutilated beyond recognition.
