I'll update this blog whenever I see a movie that's fresh in my mind.

Sonic The Hedgehog
Surprisingly really good. Got a lot of funny moments and all the stuff people said about Jim Carrey carrying the film, in my opinion, didn't turn out to be true. Personally speaking, I think the film's rendition of Sonic is my favourite. "Oh, but what about the canon game version? or what about the Archie and IDW versions?" Let me repeat: Sonic the Hedgehog from the Sonic the Hedgehog film is my favourite version of the character.

He's surprisingly relatable, struggling with issues that actual people do (like loneliness and problems paying attention). And I know I just said that Carrey didn't carry the film but I have to admit he was really good as Robotnik. The film's rendition of Robotnik is a total lunatic and Carrey is clearly having as much fun as he possibly can playing him.

The movie's also really good at switching between tones. There's a scene in the movie where Sonic is playing baseball with himself and everything's all happy-go-lucky but then Sonic actually takes a moment and realizes that he's playing baseball by himself not for the fun of it but because he actually has no one to play with. That one scene was the saddest thing I'd seen in a while, seriously.

The only real problem I have is Tom, whose just sorta... normal. He doesn't have any particular characteristics that jump out at you, but his friendship with Sonic throughout the film is really nice to see. Four stars, check it out.
