How can one of the worst game franchises release not one, but two decent movies.
I still don't understand
They listened to the fans.
Jim Carrey is a gifted performer
By getting someone that actually cared to direct it
>I read wiki, therefore i know what i'm doing: the director
They cared about Sonic, simple as. Even more than Sega, since they handled the characters better than pretty much all Sonic games in the last 15 years.
>Mario
>Amazing games, absolute shit movie
>Sonic
>Mostly shit games, good movies
What's going on here?
sonic > mario
always has been always will be.
Why the fuck is Sonic Team allowed to make games at all
Literally everything they have made since Sonic 06 has been absolute dogshit
Wait for the animated movie, that could be better than Sonic's films.
>Sonic
>Mostly shit games
90% of mainline Sonic games are good
Because the movie directors made it clear to the sonic audience that this was its own thing and not a retelling of sonic games 1 to 1 so sonic and sega fans went into the movies knowing things weren’t gonna be fully faithful to the games which made their expectations and reception of the movies better.
Pretty sure the Wild Things guy that Paramount hired just threw in the obvious basics and references but otherwise just wanted to make another CGI-buddy film and collect his fat SEGA check. Granted it got popular and decided to go a lot further with the sequel, so there's at least an improvement going on that many still appreciate instead of the first film being a fluke over changing a horrific design choice into an accurate one.
The real funny bit, though, is that IIRC when Sony was producing there was a staff of legitimate Sonic-nerds attached who were aiming for some PG-13 film that outright said they didn't wanna do a Smurfs film. Dunno how good or cringe that could've turned out.
Not even close.
Only legitimate low-functioning autists can truly believe that.
Honestly that movie was so bad it makes the turn around to become interesting again, and that is not even going into what i heard about its developments years after i watched it, it's a clusterfuck.
>amazing
You're overstating it, let's be fair...
>Illumination
yeah no
They're actually bad both of them.
Some people are just capable of enjoying bad movies.
Some of the people who worked on the movies are familiar with the series
Nice bait, reddit the niggerhog.
More like 90% are legitimately awful.
There is an entire new generation in Hollywood now that knows how to make video game adaptations. The boomers could never figure it out because they were out of touch with fans.
Because they're not decent. I know people like to make fun of pic related (and rightfully so), but the two Sonic movies can only really be explained as a typical baby movie with Sonic in it. And by baby movie, I mean a movie designed explicitly for little children. The second one is an improvement over the first and it's a GOOD baby movie (Knuckles is a highlight), but it's still got major issues (Tails is nothing but an exposition dump who says "Only SONIC would do something like that!", all of the human bits in Hawaii were Direct-to-DVD tier, etc.)
both of these movies are insulting dogshit, only praised by classicucks and sonic haters (but i repeat myself) to spite sonic fans.
nice opinion bro
>one of the worst game franchises
Will never understand this meme.
Because the Sonic Team didn't make the movie
Just a reminder
SEGA relying on arcade/merch/etc. sales while giving less fucks about their direct gaming division (and being fucking geriatric and retarded as always) while fighting an internal geographic war over corporate direction, hence why 90% of their library never made it past the 'high score' videogames era phase and likely why they put Iizuka on permanent Sonic mascot duty so long as the corner-cuts still turned a profit without another Sonic '06 or Ken Penders fiasco. Which now that their arcade business is as dead as their consoles they'll just replace with a multimedia focus after Paramount proved successful... which can still fail since, once again, they're fucking retarded and are betting major company profits on some "super-game" that'll probably crash harder than NFT's.
tl;dr SEGA is fucking retarded. Don't put so much hope into a company that quite literally lost muh consolewars during its adolescence.
Sponge on the Run is legitimately one of the worst movies I have seen, it's written so terribly.
There are more good sanic games than bad ones

Perfection
Also worth noting how they almost did try getting away from Modern's bad image via games delisting, Boom trials and hiring fans. All of which they've fucked up in some way, thus keeping the cycle going.
Many of modern movies nowadays are just boring, depressing, cynical cashgrabs.
only 2, 3 and Knuckles are good.
>-heroes
>Great
Oh, you're some twitch loon.
Sonic has proven time and time again that it works except in its native medium and I'm glad sega is running with it finally.
Thank you.
You're lying, that's what's going on.
>likes 2 3 and knuckles
>he doesnt like mania
opnion discarted
>Redditbob
Lol
All of the games you just listed are dogshit
It's astonishing how delusional sonicfags are
>The Sonic movie made Tails more of an active badass than the games have in more than a decade
Damn.
>How can one of the worst game franchises
Are you actually fucking retarded. what the fuck is this reddit thread
No time or patience for banal nostalgia peddlers. If the only way to make Sonic playable is to just do exact simulacrums of the old games then it should just stay dead.
>decent
they're still dogshit, they're just not offensively dogshit so you mistake that as quality.
there has never been a good adaptation of vidya into film/tv and there never will be, anyone who says otherwise is coping hard.
>mariotoddler
opinion discarded
>only game X is good
>game X but better longer with more content is released
>WAAA IS JUST NOSTALGIA PEDLER EVEN THOUGH 80% OF THE STAGES ARE NEW
he is falseflaging user
mario and sonic are 2 diferent games. just cause both involve running and jumping on thing doesnt make them anything like each other
2 isn't better than 1 but it was okay. What was the point in the wedding? I almost fell asleep around that part, it completely fucked the pacing
Yeah, the Mario movie is legitimately one of the greatest movies ever made imo.
>the wedding?
literaly only there to set up where tails got the plane
>human beings watch this unironically.
the reveal that the whole thing was a G.U.N settup to foreshadow shadow was based
Sonic has a lot of hardcore fans who are now adults. Those fans have kids of their own and want said kids to like what they like. The people who made the movies went out of their way to make the fans happy even though it was obvious that was not their original goal. When they saw it worked, they simply doubled down on making fans happy in the sequel. The lesson here is that making fans of a franchise happy is good business. Sadly, that is a lesson that is often ignored in Yea Forums, Yea Forums and Yea Forums.
Yes and it's kino
Why do they always look so angry. I will never watch this American shit.
It's really a great watch.
i fell asleep in the theater during the first movie. it was atrociously boring, with the only redeeming feature being jim carrey's eggman. anyone who thinks its a good movie is just a victim of marketing hype and fomo
1st movie was alright, the 2nd one is better though, less human bullshit and more focus on the sonic
Decent? 60 is like shit sandwich tier. I don't know why you are calling it "decent". Because that is not decent.
you sound like an adhd zoomer
people look down on your type
jim carrey was the worst fucking part of that film dude, he is well past his prime and his awkward attempts at humour just didn't fit with the tone of the film at all, he stuck out like an uncomfortable sore thumb the whole time
>fomo
Fomo of what? It's a movie
you need to be 18 to post here. Come back in10 years.
>He STILL listens to "critics" in the year 2014 + 8
ngmi
>sonic movie 2 isn't kino because....... it just isn't okay? you're underage!
neck yourself
i'm a hairy 30 year old who's been on this board longer than you've been alive child
what the fuck else is there to enjoy in the movie?
why would FOMO not apply to movies that are heavily marketed?
maybe ill download the second one then
>Sonic 1, 2, 3, CD, Adventure, 2, Heroes, Shadow, 06, Unleashed, Colours, Gens, Lost World, Rise of Lyric, Forces, (Then the open one which will be shit as well)
8/16 is literally half of the games being shit my dude, and not even counting spin offs there.
>why would FOMO not apply to movies that are heavily marketed?
Because you can watch it anytime?
It's not like the movie will just vanish.
I suspect you don't know what that term means.
90s called and want their edge back
>SAME TOMATO SCORE
Honestly we talk shit of vidya critics and that whole gamergate shitstorm happened, but they are still not AS BAD, as movie critics.
They are always massive faggots, I believe Tomatometer has just propaganda as the top 10 movies still to this day.
I was screaming kino during the entire section at the end of the second movie
same shit with the people behind the netflix castlevania series
