DO PART 1 FIRST!!! Link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1117768963/ ----------------------[SPOILERS BELOW]----------------------- The BAD: -Nearly ALL of Sonic's lines where he was trying to be funny. *sigh* I hate to say it, but Sonic, none of your lines are funny, except for maybe the lungs one. -Maria's death. It was way better in the games. In the games, Maria was legitimately murd3r3d in cold bl00d, but in this she was accidentally k1lled. Well, semi-accidentally. A GUN agent accidentally shot some explosive barrels and that's how she died. I feel like there could have been a way better scene where she was trying to protect Shadow from GUN, so GUN had to shoot her to get her out of the way. That would have made a way more powerful scene showing us even more of Maria's love for Shadow, and would've hit way harder. Also, with her current death in the movie, how did she die but Gerald didn't? He was blown up just as bad from what I saw. -Director Rockwell and Commander Walters. Alright, listen, Director Rockwell absolutely DID NOT need to exist. Just replace her with Commander Walters. That would've added more weight to the story, because Shadow would actually be up against him. Oh yeah, COMMANDER WALTERS WAS K1LLED OR INJURED AT THE BIGINING!! WHY!? I really don't know why they did this except for when Shadow kicks Tom disguised as Walters to make him injured. They could've done something different there. Also, the scene where Walters is unconscious and then Rockwell sees a picture of him with team Sonic and then says "I knew they couldn't be trusted" made me so mad. GUN has been after Sonic for the past 2 movies, and they've proven that they CAN be trusted. Luckily, this went absolutely nowhere 'cause this would've been a terrible plot point if GUN was after Sonic AGAIN. -Sonic's arc. This is probably my biggest complaint with this movie. I know this is a Sonic movie, his arc isn't going to be perfect, but man. It was executed HORRIBLY. For starters, his arc is literally "make good choices." Not a very moving arc, which I guess is fine, but jeez, it's conveyed in such a, like, I don't know what word I'm looking for here, but they're like "Uh-oh Sonic, that's a bad choice!" and it just feels so... not well put together. Also, he decides not to heed advice from his friends and THAT'S how they save the day. What? What are they trying to teach? I guess it doesn't matter that much since the movie has so many other things going on, but Sonic's arc was really bad. Alright, that's all of the bad. Post credits scenes opinions. I liked them! Mainly the first on though. Amy is FINALLY getting in to the Sonic Movie universe! And so is Metal Sonic. Well, I guess A TON of Metal Sonics. So yeah, post credits scene number 1 was good! But were not done yet, because told me to stay till the VERY END of the credits which reveals that Shadow is still alive! I don't really have an opinion on this, but I probably wouldn't like this if they hyped up Shadow's death, but they didn't really, so this is fine. Conclusion. This was a good movie! it's of course not perfect, but it's pretty good! I really really really REALLY hope this means we'll get SA1 and SA2 upscaled ports with widescreen support to modern consoles. I want to play them so bad! Anyway, this movie gets a solid 7/10. (still not as good as Big's Big Movie, but still good) Conclusion 2. What did you think of this movie? What did you think of my opinions on it? Tell me them in the comments of part 1 (linked at the top) and I'll see ya, in the next one.
