Sonic the Hedgehog arrives in theatres tomorrow. Ben Schwartz voices the titular, iconic character while Jim Carrey plays Dr. Robotnik. The film also features James Marsden and Tika Sumpter as Tom and Maddie Wachowski respectively. Reviews for the film have finally begun to surface online — as the official embargo has dropped (via
Gamefragger).
Rotten Tomatoes has done what it always does and collected up all of these reviews, then boiled them down to a percentage score based on whether they are positive or negative. You should be glad to hear that
Sonic the Hedgehog has faired pretty well thus far. The live-action video game movie recently debuted on the site with a 70% rating — and is currently considered
"Fresh."
61 reviews have been taken into account so far — with more to come over the course of the coming days. There's also a pleasing critics' consensus — which goes as such:
"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."
It's certainly good to hear that the movie has earned approval of the majority of critics and it isn't a total mess like other cinematic video game adaptations. Check out the site's announcement tweet below (via
@RottenTomatoes):
Sonic the Hedgehog is a live-action adventure comedy based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega that centers on the infamously brash bright blue hedgehog. The film follows the (mis)adventures of Sonic as he navigates the complexities of life on Earth with his newfound – human – best friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden). Sonic and Tom join forces to try and stop the villainous Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) from capturing Sonic and using his immense powers for world domination. The film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.
Sonic the Hedgehog races into theatres on February 14th, 2020.
