Good but not great March 17, 2005

I'm a huge Sonic fan so naturally, I'm going to want to buy this DVD. The animation isn't the best but it's not as bad as the "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" series. The English dub isn't that good at all. I don't think Sega ever intended on having Sonic sound annoying at all. Sonic and Knuckles are NOT best friends, they're rivals. The fact that Tails is a technical genius is addressed as well as him being immature. The whole rival angle between Sonic and Knuckles does get addressed at the end of the movie making for a rather humorous ending. I did catch an adult oriented joke in the movie. The reason that I still give this 4 stars because it has a well thought out story behind it. The Japanese voices seem more natural than the English dubbed voices.

The first disappointment I found with the DVD I got was it had no Japanese audio track to it. But this may not be the same version as what I bought (I had the mainstream PAL R2 DVD) so you should enquire first if that's important to you :)
Second disappointment was the terrible voice actors for the English dub. The characters (especially Tails) had the most annoying sounding voices.
Third disappointment is that it seems to stray from the Sonic plot a little too much. It may have just been me, but I don't recall Knuckles being Sonics best friend, I thought it was Tails. Plus where is this Land of the Sky? I thought Sonic was on Mobius? And what about Metal Sonic? Didn't he kidnap Amy Rose in SonicCD? That's not the way this plot tells it.
The good points about this movie are the action fighting scenes and the constant flow of wacky humorous scenes which aren't afraid to crack a few naughty jokes now and then ;)
The conflict between Sonic and Metal Sonic that happen at the end of the movie is worth waiting for. The beginning half of the movie was a little slow, with the only decent scene being the fight with the Metal Egg robot. I actually think Eggman wasn't taken seriously enough throughout the movie. He started at the beginning of the movie VERY well, but after that just became a bumbling idiot.
The scene at the end, with Metal Sonic plunging to his doom is the most touching of all, as Sonic tries to save him but his help is refused as Metal Sonic announces that there can only be one Sonic as the lava coming up from the ground slowly devours Metal Sonic.
I think a new Sonic movie is required, one that has a better story because this one is rather weak when you compare it to the Dreamcast games. Sonic fans will love this movie, but I don't think anyone else will.

This was a good movie, but it was kind of freaky at some parts.I think it's worth renting if your just looking for a movie to watch, but if you love Sonic you should consider buying.
In The Sonic the Hedgehog Movie Robotink tricks Sonic and Tails into going into the dark world to stop a generator thats about to blow up. Sonic dosen't belive him at at first but when the presedent's daughter comes into it Sonic takeshis chances. Unfortunantly, they fell for Robotnik's trick.
When they get to the land they run into Metal Robotnik whoalmost destroys them until Knuckles saves the day. He is wearing a detecitve hat with I found very awkward.
Then they see the generator but it explodes and out comes Metal Sonic! Sonic and Metal show of near iceburgs and Metal dies in a pit of lava. Sonic tries to help him because he turned good at the end but Metal says there is only one Sonic. Robotnik is very frusterated at this so he leaves, but we know he'll be back again!
This movie has lots of funny parts in it so be ready for a laugh or two. Also, I reccomend that when you watch this you are at least six years of age, because some parts are a little scary. Other than that-THIS MOVIE ROCKS!
