Critics Consensus

Fittingly fleet and frequently fun, Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game-inspired adventure the whole family can enjoy -- and a fine excuse for Jim Carrey to tap into the manic energy that launched his career.

Sure, there's enough here to divert small people for a while, but their parents would do well to bring a blindfold and ear plugs.

Some of the most obvious and cringe-worthy product placement since Michael Bay's Transformers. It's a fun adventure that any family can enjoy on a Sunday afternoon, but I wish it could have been more entertaining and less frustrating story-wise.

Rated: C+

Is Sonic the Hedgehog the best video game movie ever? No. Is it better than a good number of its predecessors? Yes, it is. If you grew up with Sega or have kids, then go give Sonic a shot on the big screen.

Rated: C+

Keith & the Movies

When “Sonic the Hedgehog” keeps its focus on the light-hearted charm of its titular lead character and on exploring the theme of friendship it makes for a pretty good time.

Madeline really great movie with a lot of top not performances and great CGI. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review super k While the film itself isn't perfect, the film itself is a solid buddy cop movie, with some really solid action that translated well from the Sonic Franchise, some really funny and legitimately heartfelt moments. Shoutout to Ben Schwartz who really did Sonic justice. Especially Jim Carey as Robotnik whole stole the movie.
