Critics' reviews

"For all the borderline tedium I felt at 'Sonic the Hedgehog,' I do realize that this is a picture made for 8-year-olds. And they’ll probably like it just fine."

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"Light-hearted fun unlikely to offend anyone (...) While Fowler keeps the story moving efficiently, Marsden's easy geniality prevents the simple narrative from feeling rote"

John DeFore: The Hollywood Reporter
"Improvements to Sonic’s appearance haven’t done much for a generic script"

Ben Kenigsberg: The New York Times
"It’s hard to remember the last time that a video game adaptation so fundamentally misunderstood the basic appeal of its own franchise (...) A generic kids movie, and a slow one at that"

David Ehrlich: IndieWire
"The film is fine, familiar fare for gamers and children: Sonic sprints, Carrey mugs, but the creative juices run out quickly (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Brian Truitt: USA Today
"[It is] boosted by solid performances from Ben Schwartz as Sonic and Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik (...) A fast-paced joyride that’ll ring in entertainment for both fans and children."

Akeem Lawanson: IGN
"Carrey is the film’s most prized weapon (...) His vitality makes an otherwise routine endeavor worthwhile. The movie is fine, but the villain’s a delight."

Bilge Ebiri: Vulture
