No.

I don't even want to imagine how certain parts of Tumblr reacted to that poster. Sonic looks weird.

I assume this is like that fake Crocodile Dundee movie that was actually an ad for Tourism Australia and Sonic will be revealed to be Danny McBride.

justinbellford · 13-12-2018 12:13AM

With Jim Carey as Robotnik, and how the posters are turning out, this is going to be one hell of a train wreck. I plan on turning this into a drinking game as soon as possible. This may be even worse than The Room LOL

Kirby · 13-12-2018 07:04AM

You're tearing me apart, knuckles!

Oh hai tails.

pixelburp · 13-12-2018 10:00AM

Anyone else slightly terrified over what this Sonic looks like? Just based on those creepy feet, and that beefy silhouette I anticipate a nightmare fuel, CGI 'photorealistic' face.

TerrorFirmer · 13-12-2018 02:41PM

Something about that poster is incredibly and deeply disturbing. I want to believe this is all an elaborate hoax that originated on 4chan.

ArthurG · 13-12-2018 03:12PM

WTF is going on. Between this and that awful Pikuchu thing. What is the wortld coming to.

edit: I'm assuming the Pikachu thing was a joke as I havent heard or seen anyhting since the original 'reveal'

Kirby · 14-12-2018 07:10AM

Yes, but at least Pikachu actually LOOKS like Pikachu is supposed to.

This is just......bizarre. It would be like if they stuck Pikachu's head on a human body. Nightmare fuel stuff.

I don't think he looks that bad

The Chris Pratt poster is an earlier design in which I agree that he doesn't look too bad. Far too too cute but at least he looks like an animal. Most people's complaints are with the new design in which Sonic has muscular humanoid legs.

The biggest problem with this film though is just the concept of Sonic coming to Earth and presumedly being a sidekick to a human character. It's being done a million times before and it's dumb.

pixelburp · 15-12-2018 12:10AM

Wait, Chris Pratt is the human schmo on this? Wow, guess his blockbuster cred had to run out eventually.

Sad Professor · 15-12-2018 12:32AM

Pratt was attached originally, hence the poster, but James Marsden replaced him.

Mr E · 30-04-2019 02:27PM

I laughed - a lot - during this trailer.
As long as that's not all the funny bits, I think this could be great!

I wonder if the promotional material was so bad up to now, just so we could have this redemptive moment?

There is a great Dr. Evil vibe from Carey too. I like it.

pixelburp · 30-04-2019 02:53PM

Counterpoint: that looks absolute sh*t, like Sega panicked over the upcoming Pokemón film, fast-tracking this. Then called up James Marsden 'cos he had experience starring against CGI sidekicks.

Kinda surreal watching 1990s era Jim Carry in his full manic glory; I had honestly presumed he was past that phase.

The furries might be happy I suppose.

Sad Professor · 30-04-2019 02:57PM

I'd be interested to see Carrey doing his old shtick, but otherwise I agree with pixelburp: this doesn't look good.

emo72 · 30-04-2019 02:59PM

Woah it looks bad. When the trailer looks bad what chance does the movie have.

Indeed, with a movie like this, they usually pick out the best bits for the trailer. If that's the case here, yikes.

Mr E · 30-04-2019 03:12PM

Ah lads you're very harsh. I'm not expecting Citizen Kane, but it looks like fun.

My niece and nephew will love it too - it's definitely targeted at that demographic (rather than jaded adults).

pixelburp · 30-04-2019 03:18PM

That's unfair Mr. E; I daresay most folks here are totally open for a fun, 'family friendly' animation; lord knows stuff like Spiderverse, or Pixar / Laika's output receives almost universal praise here & elsewhere. We're scarcely jaded.

No, it won't be Citizen Kane, but it sure doesn't look like Paddington 2 either. Which, FWIW, is in my top 10 movies of the last 5-10 years. Seriously.

It's debatable the only reason Sonic remains a thing is because of nostalgia from adults who grew up on MegaDrive games, or the Tumblr-furry types.

Vegeta · 30-04-2019 03:18PM

I'd watch this :pac:

coolisin · 30-04-2019 03:21PM

Sonic just does not look good. I think a couple tweeks on the design he could look great.
If he is going to look that odd anyway give him proper sonic eyes!

Jim Carrey channeling his inner Ace Ventura meeting doc evil

McLoughlin · 30-04-2019 03:24PM

The every hero has a genesis is a nice line for the USA but I don't think every hero has a mega drive will work over here.

Paddington 2 is a perfect example of a director who has a creative idea from the get go and makes everything work. From the humour, the setting, the story and the characters.

It is easily in my top 10 also and i cant count the number of people who scoff when i recommend it and then come back apologising after eventually watching it.

A glorious movie.

as for this i am leaving my judgement until i see it, it could work the trailer is so so and the character may be too teenagey for me ( if that is even a word) I am looking forward to a maskesque Carrey and hope he still has it in him. its good that they havent seemed to go for Robotnik looking like he does in the games/cartoon as it wouldnt have suited having both him and sonic being CGI.

Zwillinge · 30-04-2019 03:56PM

Loved my Mega Drive growing up.
Loved Sonic games the most.

This looks pretty horrific.

His teeth are freaking me out :pac:

gerrybbadd · 30-04-2019 03:59PM

Everything about this is terrible. Everything

30-04-2019 04:11PM

I never understand why they have to mess with the design of Sonic
Why does he have to look like a really skinny human / hedgehog hybrid with really weird teeth?

The basis of design has been there since the games
The cartoons he only had top teeth and you hardly spotted them
And he was smaller, like you know closer to the the size of a hedgehog fs :P

As for the film itself it's not that bad looking content wise, but ultimately the the design is so off-putting

TheIrishGrover · 30-04-2019 05:45PM

My eyes. MY EYES!!!! They're burning.... Oh wait, that's just me trying to claw them out.

Sweet JEBUS that looks horrific! I think I threw up a little bit..... Yep.

Just..... Yeah, just NO!!!!

I........ No.....No
