    Sonic the Hedgehog's cool in his actions and makes cheeky onto his arch nemesis Dr. Robotnick. But a character named Sara, the President's daughter, makes me laugh heaps while she's kidnapped by Dr. Robotnik.

    Awesome action movie with a good dose of comedy as well. Great for Sonic fans especially, but a good movie for the general public as well.

    This is how I like to see Sonic: running so fast you can barely tell what's going on. The action sequences are quite enjoyable, but the rest of the movie brings it down. Bad story, obnoxious characters, and more "anime moments" than I can take without feeling embarrassed to be wa... read moretching it. Any Sonic fan must see it, but as a movie it's not so good.

    In tradional Japanese style, Sonic faces the first animated appearence of his deadliest foe Metal Sonic! There's a few moments that some may find inapproate, but the Japanese aren't as taboo as we are.
