I did not expect that
26 February 2020
My daughter wanted to see "Sonic the Hedgehog;" I did not. I expected full scale absurdity, instead I got an enjoyable movie that was pretty funny.

To be honest, Jim Carrey was in fine form as the antagonist Robotnik. He was vintage Jim Carrey and he was hilarious. I was laughing at parts that everyone else stayed silent on. It was like Jim Carrey knew his older fans were out there wanting to see what made him one of the top guys in the biz in the 90's.

Sonic, voiced by Ben Schwartz, was pretty funny as well. Some of his gags fell flat, but for the most part he kept the humor up. The plot was fairly straightforward and simple. I think sometimes, especially with Disney, they try to get too deep with their plots as though the kids in the audience would be able to follow it. The plot was good, the movie was funny, and the visual effects were what they should've been. Like Robotnik said when Sonic pulled a stunt on him, "I did not expect that."
