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.

Perri Nemiroff Perri Nemiroff (YouTube) The complete package! A hugely entertaining adventure with impressive effects, one winning joke after the next, and a whole lot of heart. Rated: 4/5 Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Christy Lemire Breakfast All Day If you want [a] light, fun escape, this is it. Rated: 7/10 Mar 6, 2020 Full Review Ed Potton Times (UK) 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. Rated: 2/5 Mar 2, 2020 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews 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+ Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Kate Boyle InSession Film 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+ Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington 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.

Nick R Simple, fast and fun. Plus with Jim Carrey stealing the show, how can it not be entertaining? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Madeline really great movie with a lot of top not performances and great CGI. 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. Solid C+ Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Robert S Video game movies dont get much better than this. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/03/23 Full Review 🅱️IN £ADEN The actual game was a true game changer for the sega Genesis,the movie is just as great i highly recommend this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/22 Full Review Christian J great start to a franchise. keep it up Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/09/22 Full Review Read all reviews
