Sonic

For some of the people that weren't when this film was uploaded, let me tell you, this was kind of a big moment in the Sonic fandom, specially since it would be one of the first attempts to portray the blue blur in live action, we always knew it was going to be a low budget short film, so we were ready to forget that and still enjoy that film, luckily, most people could do that and enjoy themselves...sadly, I could't. This short is just bad, even ignoring the special effects with are at least impressive for what is a small film, but in every other aspect, I feel that this is a joyless film. Even now, looking at it without the hype, I still feel that this is a bad short or even a bad pilot, it tries to take from all the source material it can, the original games, satam, the modern era, etc. and tries to mix it up to give it something else to stand on, but it still doesn't work, the film was more focused on showing it could do stuff, then actually doing cool stuff. This film is just bad, it's joyless, the character is a joke, one of the most charismatic villains in video game history is just a run of the mill baddie, the cameos are obnoxious and they just distract, beyond some cool elements, this is one of the worst pieces of media. The only thing I did like is that, even if the Villain Dr Robotnik had nothing that made him standup, the actor is actually kinda good, sadly the script can't have him be the mad scientist the audience wants and just leaves him as a normal bad guy. Yeah, basically, this short sucks. even if it had the budget for good special effects, the script is a mess. Pass

This film was something refreshing a fan film that's not like Alvin and Chipmunks seriously I was hoping for something like this and I quite liked it but it wasn't the best that could have been I feel like if it had a little bit more money put into it it could have been great I give it an 8 out of ten.

People say this short is terrible, but in my opinion it's really not that bad. I will agree that the animation is outdated, but this movie turned 11 years ago yesterday. I actually really liked Sonic's design, Doctor robotnik was good, and it looked like a good amount of effort was put in it and obviously wasn't made to be extremely good or anything but is still worth the watch (only around 20 minutes). What holds it back from a slightly higher rating is that the short starts out somewhat boring and doesn't get at least decent until Sonic kills Gamma (saving the police officer guy) and the voice acting isn't great but still sort of good. However like I said, you should still check it out on YouTube.

Back in 2010, Eddie lebron directed a cult Mega man fan film that stayed true to the game in every way. I even bought the DVD. Now, this time Eddie released a follow up entitled "Sonic."

The Good: Great cgi work Great action sequences Good casting for dr. robotnick Great sonic model Decent acting Jaleel white is back as the voice of Sonic, Genius! No one can be sonic but Jaleel white! And he still sounds the same! And it stays true to the game, that's all that matters.

The Bad: Too short, but that was only because they were on a budget, so they wanted to spend a little more time on the cgi and action sequences, and a little less time on the duration so that they had more money for the cgi.

Overall, an absolutely flawless adaptation! If you were born with a sega genesis, like me, and you are a longtime sonic fan, then you will love this movie!

FUN FACT: Yuri Naka (creator of sonic) praised this film, he tweeted "awesome." If the creator of the game likes, then you know it's good!

This was a complete disaster of a short. The acting was mediocre at best and truly atrocious at worst. The special effects were alright, pretty good when it came to the robots but really bad when it came to movement (like sonic running around) and the explosions were pretty bad too. I understand that it's a independent production company but still. I actually did like where the story was going at first and wanted a little more back story on robotnik, then sonic showed up and everything went downhill from there. Sonic really doesn't belong in a human setting. I thought the actor playing robotnik had a decent performance compared to all of the others in this film. and I genuinely liked the music they used. Overall, it was a pretty bad movie.
