I'm going to go watch it in support of them actually listening to the fans. Great film to go watch with the kids. Very happy about the turnout Jim Carrey should impress aswell.

The new trailer looks so much better! The design of Sonic has been improved no end and I think it's great that Paramount listened to the fans. I'm actually really looking forward to this film in a total man-child kind of way. It is, after all, the film I always wanted to get made when I was a kid and totally Sonic obsessed. I also gotta say again just how much I think Jim Carrey playing Robotnik is genuinely a great bit of casting. Really looking forward to taking my nephew to see it! :)
I'm happy that some of you like it. I actually thought Jim Carrey had retired from acting, I guess he really wanted this part. Is he a gamer?
Sure the character design isn't nearly as bad, but I'm still not terribly interested in seeing Sonic "crash into the real world" and become some dudebro's E.T. buddy.
why couldn't it have been about sonic saving his buddies from mechanical enslavement and defeat the weird dr Robotnik versus whatever the hell the movie is about?
This was the first thing that stood out to me when the movie was announced and even though Jim Carrey is clearly just being Jim Carrey in the trailers, I’ve never doubted that he’s just such a great fit for the role (granted, I think a more “accurate” portrayal would look a bit more similar to his version of The Grinch). If nothing else, no matter how badly the movie bombs, I’m hoping that his role will be the one thing people speak highly of, much like Raul Julia in Street Fighter and Dennis Hopper in Mario Bros.Quote:

Just a theory of mine.Quote:

I didn't mind the vibe of the 1st trailer and the new CGI in the 2nd one looks amazing and also love the look of Green Hill Zone from the film. Me and 2 of the Girls from work can't wait to watch it. It looks fun, its SEGA & Sonic and also the SEGA logo in the film is class.Quote:

You could work Ecco into that too, who wouldn't want to see Ecco make a cameo?
Exactly. It looks like he slowly becomes more like the Dr. Robotnik from the games, so my theory about the film acting as a kind of prequel could be correct. I guess we'll find out in February! :)Quote:

Bam, Sonic 1 in the can and no "gangsta's paradise".Quote:
