Sonic the Hedgehog - Movie Review

Low Expectations I admit the controversy over Sonic movie did not make this a required purchase list item. However, my son was mildly interested in it and the price was acceptable. It has taken me a few weeks to actually sit down and watch it. Now it is time for the review. Review As movies based on games go, this was not the worse adaption. Does anyone remember the 1994 Street Fighter movie? At the start of the movie, I was annoyed that it looked like they had stole the first 5 minutes from the pilot episode of the CW Flash TV series.

The opening monolog made you question if this might be a dream or really happening to the characters. Within 10 minutes, you get your answer. I will admit the story moved at a good pace. There are a few characters you actually care for during the movie. The ending was good but predictable. Rating I would give this a SD rating. If you have any interest in watching it, I recommend you ren...
