    Default Sonic The Hedgehog 2019 Movie (CGI + Live-Action): For Really Reals This Time?

    The move will contain computer animated characters and live action humans. It has been delayed for years. It has been through two different movie studios. It's direction changed from story-focused to action-focused. I'm glad we finally have a year + month + day this time, but for crying out loud, the movie was originally announced in 2016!

    The (supposed) launch day will be November 15, 2019.

    That feeling you get when you'd only watch it if the title character was voiced by Jaleel White and the movie involves the planet already wrecked and in full grimdark industrial mode. I'm going to go try to unbury my VHS of Surf Ninjas. It'll be just as awful, but in a way that makes it freakin' awesome.

    So it might be a furry porno then.

    So we have a live action/CGI Sonic movie with a bunch of (mostly) no-names on board versus a Mario movie made by one of the premiere 3D animation companies and co-produced by Miyamoto? Wonder which will be better received.

    The more I read about the Sonic 2019 movie, the more I stand by my words: "It is like watching a train wreck in slow motion." It's no wonder Paramount isn't showing the short trailers online where the wider world can see them and instead is only showing them at little film festivals and events.

    This is definitely one of those movies where I'll be seeing it for myself then warning the rest of the world about it.

    The trailer out now and i wonder how sega even approved for this design of sonic O_o Then again,i assume sega probably doesn't care and just see this as a crash grab nothing more.This i can definitely see ending up as being hilariously bad.

    Is the plot going to be about Sonic trying to stop Dr Robotniks quest to prevent the world from getting vaccinations?

    I think given how successful every Sonic game ever made has been, regardless of its quality, the movie will go over just as well

    Yeah it looks God awful but so do a lot of movies that perform well at the box office

    336k downvotes to 212k upvotes. Not looking too good. I think most gamers hate it but what about 40 year old moms with 2 or 3 kids? Will they care that Sonic looks like a grotesque furry freak, that Jim Carrey looks and sounds nothing like Robotnik, or that the jokes fall flat? Probably not

    "Terrible! Waluigi hates this!"

    By the way, the director says on Twitter that they are going to redesign some parts of Sonic's movie appearance due to fans' reactions online.

    ...

    Dude, the weird, ugly-looking Sonic might be a problem, but it is one of the least problems of this movie!

    They might make changes, they might (but probably won't) fix everything that looks off or wrong about Sonic's appearance, but they won't fix the core character and story problems here. It's too late for any foundational changes like those. The writing is on the wall. There's more writing on the wall with each new fact revealed about the movie, whenever one-by-one they fall. You can have a million Easter eggs about old Sonic games and cartoons hidden in your movie, but they won't actually make the movie into a GOOD movie.

    This trailer has convinced me that though I will inevitably watch this movie as I am a Sonic The Hedgehog fan, I might just skip on watching it at an actual movie theater and wait until I can rent it for $3.

    Like I've written before: The Sonic movie is a train wreck in slow motion.

    Is this an out of season April Fools day joke?
    The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "save us!"......and I'll look down, and whisper "no."

    It just amazes me that what we saw could have made it past test audiences, heads of studio, multiple designers, the wives/partners of the directors/executive producers, the financial backers, and nobody started laughing hysterically or said "are you f**king kidding me?"

    I was wondering the exact same thing. It makes me wonder if it's all just a publicity stunt to get people talking about the movie. Like maybe they knew no matter what Sonic looked like that people would hate it so they rendered just a minute of awfulness animation so whatever they're actually using would look awesome by comparison.

    But knowing Hollywood, they probably just figured they could throw whatever up on screen and people would flock to the theater.
