Storyline/Character [Character developments,] Action, Comedy, Art and Performances: all these components combined in one way or another and likewise they are all at minimum solidly good and the same can be said for the pacing; it uses the storyline formula of foreign alien [Sonic the Hedgehog voiced by Ben  Schwartz] on to this planet known as Earth [more specifically Green Hills, Montana; USA] which he lives in secret and minus Crazy Carl [Frank C. Turner;] which has seen him and has this nickname for Sonic; Blue Demon, but no one else believes him.

Everything was going well until Sonic after pretending to play baseball [ he plays all these positions and also commentates] on losing his temper after generating this massive electrical charge from going around and around this baseball pitch; he generates so much power that he shuts down anything electrical for miles.

Now high ranking personnel that protect and serve the United States of America [from the Pentagon,] believe this to be potentially a terrorist act by using a EMP [Electromagnetic Pulse] after very small discussion they decide to send in  Dr. Robotnik/Doctor Eggman [Jim Carrey] to find out what happened but don't worry Sonic will find help in known as Sonic as Doughnut Lord and Pretzel Lady a.k.a. husband-and-wife; the Sheriff of Green Hills Thomas "Tom" Michael Wachowski and a Veterinarian  Maddie Wachowski [James Marsden and Tika Sumpter.]

So very quickly to cover my back, before I receive a backlash for this; in this film they do use both names of Carrey's character in this film so if it is good enough for them, it is good enough for me. There is a little bit more of this film be for the closing credits or through the ending credits; this Sega sequence is good; in a nutshell; the viewers see squares of games/properties owned by Sega in the squares and as it spans out we get Sega [in its legendary blue and white text and a black background with "Sega" being spoken on top followed by Original Film [also all in capitals] in the colour system of blue and red, we move on to this highly imaginative run through of this film done in the style of the Sonic the Hedgehog videogame franchise or ending credits, we get to see a character that we will see in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 2022.

To give this review a little bit more substance Dr. Robotnik/Doctor Eggman [Jim Carrey] brings a lot to this film in every way shape or form for one example when he is running tests on one of sonic's quill in his armoured/laboratory mobile [ you won't be able to miss it; it is a massive lorry with mostly a dark colour system,] but I digress I won't highlight everything in this sequence of events, but whilst this computer is analysing this specimen we have Dr. Robotnik/Doctor Eggman in this high level of virtual reality without the helmet on; the reason why I can say it is virtual reality is because then in the second program he gets chased by this T Rex which he allows to bite his head off; then he does some more dancing without his head on and then it appears again. This is one of those performances that either Jim Carrey can pull off or the legendary late and great Robin Williams; where Carrey has to be serious and comical simultaneously, but in different percentages of mixtures throughout this film what is required at that specific point in time; which in turn creates this potentially recurring and legendary role for Carrey as in regardless of how many film titles they do for this Sonic the Hedgehog live-action film franchise they better be contracting Carrey for the foreseeable future.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; in fairness and balance this is one of those film titles that has been clearly designed to do the foundation work for potentially later film instalments, so and I am sure they will do this as long as they move things on a decent amount in this sequel, freshen things up a little bit as in progression hopefully the sequel in 2022 should receive positive from me as well, but for here and now Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik/Doctor Eggman is precisely why this film project gets given another mark. This film has also Award credited to its name; Won 3; for an example; Critics Choice Super Awards 2021; CCA Super Award; Best Villain in a Movie; Jim Carrey. Nominations 8; for an example; Critics Choice Super Awards 2021; CCA Super Award; Best Actor in a Superhero Movie; Ben Schwartz
