As a person who really didn't get in to Sonic as a kid, this movie was surprisingly good. Perfectly timed jokes, but it still managed to keep a good balance of funny, sad, and sweet. The Olive Garden joke is hilarious, and it was perfect after such a sad moment. The foreshadowing for a second movie is strong because (SPOILERS) Robotnik turns into Eggman and Tails shows up through a portal, and honestly, I'm excited. (Eggman said he should be out of the mushroom dimension by Christmas!) I don't know why the critics hate this movie, but it's probably because they're cold-blooded people with hearts of stone who hate any sort of comedy.
