Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
Far better than Warcraft, but not the best movie ever
I wanted to give this a higher rating due to the much needed redesign on Sonic, but a few things about this movie ruin the immersion factor for me.
Disclaimer: I've never played a single Sonic game or watched the T.V. series based on them.
I laughed a lot while watching it, had alright dialogue, and loved the references that it made to the games and even some of the memes like "Sanic." It also didn't overly rely on the lore.
Here's a breakdown of what I didn't care for:
-surplus pop culture references. It felt like like a large portion of the side characters' dialogue had a reference to an old show or movie every other sentence, such as Men in Black.
-Product placement. It can be unavoidable...but im 100% sure Olive Garden and Fit-bit are benefiting from this film significantly.
-Mature themes, namely Suicide and Divorce. The sister-in-law to the supporting character constantly brings up that he and her sister should divorce. Really? I know this is a comedy but it's largest audience is KIDS. Same with the "suicide jumper" bit.
-Plot holes. I know, its a movie aimed at a young audience while giving service to franchise fans. But uh...1) the giant owl? 2) How does Tails know sonic if sonic left home at a very young age 3) what about Amy? Knuckles? the rest of the characters? Hopefully a sequel will fix that.
-the dumb cop cliche. got a bit old.
Overall I did enjoy it, though it felt kinda short. Its a good buddy-comedy story with plenty of action and thrills. It excelled in areas where Detective Pikachu didn't, especially at the box office. As a video game movie it's definitely a success, especially when compared to Assassin's creed, DOOM or Warcraft. As a family/kids movie it was par for the course, though. There are definitely moments aimed more at an adult audience, with enough action and wit to keep kids entertained. I'd give it a 7.5/10 if I could.
Fun & Fancy Free (1947)
One of my fondest VHS memories
This was one of many classics my grandparents had on VHS when I'd come to visit. Loved the animations, especially the story of Bongo. I don't think I'll ever forget the slap song. Mickey and the beanstalk is probably one of my favorite mickey mouse cartoons as well.
Unfortunately I never knew who Edgar Bergen. Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd were at that age (and barely do now).
Classic animations like those featured in this greatly out do newer CGI and are far more memorable, so I give it 7/10.
