President Camacho was not an incompetent leader. He recognized that he had a problem, he realized the problem was beyond the abilities of his current team, and he looked for the smartest person he could find to solve it. It ended up getting solved! Delegating to qualified personnel is one of the key traits of good…

Are we counting Wreck it Ralph in this ? as that sort of counts as a VG movie
Its almost as if listening to fans and giving them what they want will get them to spend money on what they want
If your kids are old enough ..skip BoP and bingewatch the Harley animated series with them instead...
I don’t suppose that I could go down vote it or something could I?
Jim Carrey steals every scene he’s in. He’s in rare form in this one. Reminds me of his work in the 90's, except less cringe. Sonic is a cute, lovable character, significantly removed from his tryhard coolguy act from the 90's shows, which should be Exhibit A in any discussion of performative gender. The non-Robotnik…
The salt is real over at Jezebel, I think they are a part of group that want BoP to be more successful and don’t want this one to succeed. While I think the folks over AV club are disappointed in that designers did a redesign. Going to take my goddaughter to go see this and enjoy it.
The review on Jezebel was something else. I’m pretty sure the writer was being snarky and mean just to be mean. Everyone in the comments was telling her that she obviously wasn’t the target audience.
What is your problem? We get it, you don’t like Jim Carrey. But like your hate towards Sonic is really unnecessary. He’s a FREAKING BLUE!! hedgehog. I get that in this movie he’s an alien but like you really want a cartoon character to have alien teeth when he was always made for kids? Chick calm down. If your only…
As someone who is an immigrant and had to deal with loneliness, isolation, being far away from when you are from, feeling invisible, etc I felt for Sonic and I loved the movie for bringing to light mental health issues in a kids flick no less. Sonic is clearly dealing with depression and his outlook in life changes…
For Loki’s sake, not every movie needs to have some kind of deeper meaning to it. This movie is obviously not for you, and is meant for those of us that enjoyed the games as kids/teens.
As a general rule of thumb I ignore reviews of so-obviously-fanservice movies by people who are, by and large, utterly not the target audience.
I also don’t make it a habit to criticize/attack writers on G-media sites, especially on opinion pieces, but this is simply a bad take. It’s a kid movie for either young kids…
Someone should show Joan over at Jez that this is what a fair review looks like. There is no reason to be an asshole about this movie. It’s a dumb, fun movie about a super-fast, blue hedgehog for a 90's video game. It’s not shakespeare.
The distance between this review and the one on AV Club is like the distance between stars in galaxies. XD
Sonic was an enjoyable romp for adults and kids. It’s certainly a low bar, but this may be the best video game based film.
Counter point. I saw this movie yesterday with my 5 and 8 year old boys. They both loved every minute of it. It’s supposed to be a kids movie. Mission accomplished.
Gonna continue to pass on film reviews from a gossip columnist, especially when they're obviously not the target audience, and clearly have no expectations of even trying to enjoy it.
Idiocracy is in our rearview mirror. In the movie, when faced with a crisis, former-wrestler President Camacho sought out the smartest person he could find to solve it.
