Sonic the Hedgehog is the name of the upcoming live-action movie adaptation of Sonic the Hedgehog, set to be released on 8 November 2019.
Response
Soon after the first trailer was released on 30 April 2019, Chris expressed discontent with the movie, particularly criticizing the design of Dr. Eggman (played by Jim Carrey).
However, general criticism of movies based on video game franchises are not uncommon. According to the BBC in 2001, the genre does not have a good record at the box office,[1] and Uwe Boll’s attempts only worsened the notoriety of the genre. Quite simply put, movies based on video game franchises do not perform well because it lacks the interactivity and non-linearity that makes video game franchises like Sonic successful. Thankfully, Detective Pikachu has been receiving very good praise.
Chris is admittedly also not alone in his possible displeasure with Sonic's design in the movie, as the trailer received widespread backlash for his creepy design (to the point where the film producers announced they would redesign him again before its release).
