Observer
In what is something of a movie miracle or at the very least an unexpected surprise, this adaptation of the much-loved Sega video game franchise launched nearly 30 years ago as a direct assault on Nintendo’s leaping plumber Mario, largely presses the all the right buttons—and even does so in the right order. - 70
IGN
Sonic’s first foray into live-action is a fast-paced joyride that’ll ring in entertainment for both fans and children. - 60
Screen Rant
Sonic the Hedgehog is a fairly middling family-friendly adventure movie, but a comparably good video game adaptation the belies a great deal of potential for a stronger, even more ambitious sequel. - 50
USA Today
The film is fine, familiar fare for gamers and children: Sonic sprints, Carrey mugs, but the creative juices run out quickly. - 42
IndieWire
And you thought fixing Sonic’s teeth would make this movie any less of a nightmare. - 40
Variety
We all know that your average Hollywood comedy tends to include some on-set improvisation, but in this case the contrast between the leaden pseudo-brashness of the rest of the movie and the ping! of Carrey’s dialogue is so marked that it almost feels like he made up his entire character on the spot. (I’m not declaring that he actually did. I’m just sayin’.) - 40
The Guardian
Like its fast-moving, attention-deficient hero, this just feels like a rush job. - 38
Movie Nation
The end product isn’t remotely as bad as one might fear.
