SONIC THE HEDGEHOG's Rotten Tomatoes Score Has Been Revealed

When the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog was released, the backlash regarding the title character's live-action appearance was sizeable. That led to Paramount Pictures going back to the drawing board to completely redesign the video game icon and he now thankfully looks just as fans hoped. 

Since that reveal, the buzz surrounding the movie has been considerably more positive, but how does that translate to reviews? Well, the verdict is in on Rotten Tomatoes and Sonic the Hedgehog currently has 70% based on 61 reviews. That's probably better than anyone expected, and it's no wonder that analysts believe it will race straight to the top of the box office this coming weekend. 

According to the Critics Consensus, "Fittingly fleet and frequently fun, Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game-inspired adventure the whole family can enjoy -- and a fine excuse for Jim Carrey to tap into the manic energy that launched his career." 

That's not a bad verdict by any means, and while there are still more reviews to come, things are definitely looking good right now. The redesign was very much a cosmetic change, so it won't have changed much in Sonic the Hedgehog. It has, however, more than likely saved the film from being ridiculed due to Sonic's creepy and strange new appearance!

Will you guys be checking the movie out this weekend?

Eh... I'll give it a watch. I was pretty impressed with Detective Pikachu, so maybe this will be the same.

This could’ve been awful. But sets a precedent that negative online feedback can get positive results when a studio is willing to listen to the fans instead of ignoring them (pretty much like warner with the 2016 dc movies and justice league, that almost ended the dceu because of the executives arrogance). So, both the studio and the crew deserve a win for this.

I was never really invested in this project (or its source material) at all, but I’m happy it’s getting solid reviews- for continuing to break the “video game movie curse”, but infinitely more so because the creators, especially the VFX crew, listened to what the fans were saying. Well done, everyone!
