Artistic: Its a take on Sonic where they stayed true to his original design and went back to remake the movie for it. Respect. Also Dr Eggman's Character is done by Jim Carrey, Absolutely amazing Acting.
Recommended: There are a ton of nice references, Dr Eggmans Acting is amazing. He is an insanely fascinating Villain who is also easily hate-able for the purposes of the narrative, but you can understand and empathize with him to an extent. His Past and Circumstances leave a grey-scale
Rewatch: NO
Perfec-:
NO, just NO
In Summary: Its a Kids Movie marketed towards Sonic Fans for nostalgia.
The Plot is cliched and paper thin, all the actors except Jim Carrey as DR Eggman and Sonic's Antics and comedy
Are all that is enjoyable about the movie.
It makes very little sense
Why do the USA resort to Dr Eggman so readily when everyone hates him?
How does Dr Eggman have such cutting edge technology all to himself without at-least some level of implementation in the army?
How did Sonic live for so long in the Town and only break now?
Sonic can go anywhere in the world, he is known to be able to run over water and buildings through sheer speed and is fast enough to break the sound barrier over 3 times. Why does he need the guys help to get the rings?
Don't get me started over Physics. The Laws of Physics are absolute garbage here and there is little to no consistency in it. Physics operates on a plot need basis.
They don't even explain the origin of Sonic's Power and the Rings. There is zero development of Sonic's caretaker.
In a strict narrative retrospect, Sonic receives little to no development and neither does any other character in the movie.
We only care about Sonic because we have played the games and its due to nostalgia, Kids on the other hand can watch a funny colorful cartoon do stuff: See Minions as an example.
In Short, the movie greatly fell short in delivering a good movie for Sonic.
You need to turn off your brain and just enjoy the jokes and Dr Eggman to enjoy it.
Which is the only reason I recommend it.
Dr Eggmans Acting IS THE ONLY REASON I RECOMMEND THIS
and because the directors were generous enough to listen to the fanbase and redesign Sonic so he does not look like the absolute mess he was before. I wouldn't even have watched the movie if that had persisted.
I swear, Dr Eggman's Acting by Jim Carrey cannot be understated. Here is a few clips to showcase that:
The Movie Trailer except its Eggmans Movie:

The Best scene of the Movie, Eggman doing his Evil Dance:

The Full Eggman Dance Scene but its terrible Quality:

Tell me you don't like what you see. Jim Carrey single handedly saved this film from being a Hot mess. And the fact Sonic got his redesign
Consider the following:
Original Film: 0/5
Original Film after Redesign: 2/5
Original Film without Eggman's Acting: -5/5
I won't weigh between the Redesign and Eggman's acting.
Just know that out of everything, those 2 things are the only reason this movie is redeemable.
Since this is the first time there is a negative rating, ill explain
it simply means whatever the Artistic Scale awarded a point for, this Movie does the opposite and ends up making it worse. Hence getting a negative point instead.
So there you have it
Only watch this movie if you have even the slightest gratitude for the work and effort that Jim Carrey put into this
Or if you want to show your approval to Film makers listening to the community and Fixing Sonic's Design.
Show them the result of their change via a Movie Ticket. The film is bad
But again
Sonics Redesign and Eggmans Acting are what redeemed it.
Everything else from Narrative down to Acting was downright horrifying and cringy.
