Summary: FAFU'S REVIEW
Review: i was very hyped out to seeing this movie, and have been waiting a long time for it to come out, and it was also by the makers of tekken and i thought that this movie would be totally great. So when i watched it, it started off great like a very serious action movie, but then after the main title, everything just seems to fall apart, it could have been really great, but they really picked the wrong animators and writers for this. if it was by the same people that did the darker saturday show, it would have been very good, but instead it was like the eraly mourning kiddy one which i'm not to fond of, so after wathcing it, i was dissapointed completely.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quite possibly the best video game- based anime yet!
Review: When I first heard of the Sonic anime, I was thrilled to say the least. The burning question on my mind was, "Could it possibly live up to the original Saturday morning TV show's standards?". Upon finally seeing it(2 years after it was first released in Japan, by the way), the only word I can say is YES!!!! The Sonic anime is fast-paced,well animated, and delivers with an excellent plot. Heck, they even stuck Knuckles in the mix! Ya can't go wrong with that! To put it simply, this has to be the best video game based anime out there. "Sonic - The Movie" definitely delivers with a Sonic Boom!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this is great!
Review: This Japanese-animated Sonic video is great! It`s funny, fantastic, & one of my favoritest anime! For proof of how great it is, Since June11, I have watched it over 138 times! If that`s not a compliment, I dunno what is.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: SONIC!!!
Review: Okay. So I'll admit it. At first I rented it just because I'm a huge Sonic fan and I thought it would be really stupid. (Don't ask.) But then I saw the it. It was hilarious.

The "old man" was an old owl who was as empty headed as the day he was born. (I laughed kinda hard at his antics)

The president's daughter, Sara, was one of the funnier characters. However, there is some humor that is a little mature (in my opinion) for 7 year olds. It's the funniest part, but it really is a bit- over the heads of the younger Sonic fans. Never mind what her cat tail means.

The animation was crude, of course, but the expressions on the characters' faces were really funny. Robotnik and Tails looked the funniest.

Oooh! And don't forget the action. There were "badniks" from the original few Sonic games, of course, and Sonic gave Metal Robotnik a headache he wouldn't soon forget.

Alas, there was one thing I really hated: the plot. It went all over the place. But the humor was just too much, and I had to give it at least four stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A 60 minute movie that's cool
Review: First of all, this movie is too short. I wanted to see an hour and a half or something, but, this is good. The music, oh the music! It rocks. I loved the original song, "Look Alike" I think it's called. Funny how this was actually in the STARZ channel!

I thought the plot was hard to understand though.

Some parts were funny, yes. The scene where Eggman kept beating the Princess in the videogame had me falling off my bed with tears in my eyes. (I thought the Prncess was ugly!)

And it WAS dramatic. The end where Metal Sonic died touched my heart.

Anyway-

GOODIES: BASICALLY EVERYTHING!

BADDIES: CONFUSING PLOT; GIRL IS UGLY; TOO SHORT EVEN IF IT WERE TWICE AS ACTION PACKED

FINAL: A+ A GREAT MOVIE

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pain in my Egg
Review: The first disappointment I found with the DVD I got was it had no Japanese audio track to it. But this may not be the same version as what I bought (I had the mainstream PAL R2 DVD) so you should enquire first if that's important to you :)
Second disappointment was the terrible voice actors for the English dub. The characters (especially Tails) had the most annoying sounding voices.
Third disappointment is that it seems to stray from the Sonic plot a little too much. It may have just been me, but I don't recall Knuckles being Sonics best friend, I thought it was Tails. Plus where is this Land of the Sky? I thought Sonic was on Mobius? And what about Metal Sonic? Didn't he kidnap Amy Rose in SonicCD? That's not the way this plot tells it.
The good points about this movie are the action fighting scenes and the constant flow of wacky humorous scenes which aren't afraid to crack a few naughty jokes now and then ;)
The conflict between Sonic and Metal Sonic that happen at the end of the movie is worth waiting for. The beginning half of the movie was a little slow, with the only decent scene being the fight with the Metal Egg robot. I actually think Eggman wasn't taken seriously enough throughout the movie. He started at the beginning of the movie VERY well, but after that just became a bumbling idiot.
The scene at the end, with Metal Sonic plunging to his doom is the most touching of all, as Sonic tries to save him but his help is refused as Metal Sonic announces that there can only be one Sonic as the lava coming up from the ground slowly devours Metal Sonic.
I think a new Sonic movie is required, one that has a better story because this one is rather weak when you compare it to the Dreamcast games. Sonic fans will love this movie, but I don't think anyone else will.

Rating: 5 stars
