SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

Okay. I absolutely adored this movie.

I'm a sucker for games and movies. So when game characters are incorporated into movies so perfectly, I get all giddy.

Cast

Ben Schwartz,James Madsen, Jim Carrey, Tika Sumpter, Lee Majdoub.

The redesign was totally worth it, even though it cost more money, it paid off.

Spoilers ahead.

       I've watched different sonic cartoons and also played the game, but the movie was a hit. A blue alien hedgehog leaves his own planet because people want to use his powers..He comes to Earth-Green hill to be specific and spy's on all the neighbors, particularly the sheriff whom he calls "Donut Lord".


But as it is with lending assistance to strangers, trouble always follows.

     Lemme start with the voicing for sonic.

Ben Schwartz was pretty impressive in his voicing, sounding like a young boy and portraying how their mind works. 

Sheriff Tom (Madsen) was cool. Not so serious and not so unserious. His performance wasn't excessively action based, but had a mix of warmth, friendliness to it.  I love how expletives weren't completed at the end of a sentence; because it's a pg film.


      My major surprise was Jim Carrey. It was so good seeing him again after a long absence from the screen. Considering the fact he always acts as a weirdo in his movies, becoming Dr Robotnik wasn't difficult. His enigmatic display, as well as puns, I particularly liked "Rockonissance". I liked when he told Wade to sit there and be "you"...sless. Lol


    The movie was a box office hit, a whopping 300million in box office. Reviews were mixed. Commendations on the redesigns and acting skills but the storyline according to then was plain. Well,  I enjoyed it non the less. It's a fun movie for game lovers and a binding family movie.

The Gentlemen; Movie Review

CAST   Matthew McConaughey (Michael Pearson) Charlie Hunnam (Raymond Smith) Henry Golding (Dry Eye) Hugh Grant ( Fletcher) Michelle Dockery (Rosalind Fletcher) Jeremy Strong (Matthew Berger) Eddie Marson (Big Dave) Colin Farrell (Coach).       The words " drug" and " Mafia" have been known to be associated with blood, chain of commands and dirty deals. The world of drugs isn't one to be taken lightly as every action can be interpreted as either weakness or strength. The Gentlemen showed a slightly different approach to the drug world. It wasn't without deaths and orders but it hard a slightly comedic part to it. Spoilers ahead .      If you've seen the movie, then you can either agree or disagree with some of the wordings here. But if you haven't, I'll try to lessen the spoilers. If the movie had been 3hours long or even 4hours, I doubt if I would notice. Because I was glued to my screen till the very end. The blend and scenery was q...

Movie Review: A Madea Homecoming

Madea is back! Hallelujer! After the Madea Family Funeral we thought we had seen the last of this iconic screen character, but 2022 has given us a reason to laugh out loud. Movie Plot Madea's Homecoming surrounds the family getting together for Madea's great grandson's graduation ceremony. As expected when the Madea clan comes together, secrets are revealed and chaos the order of the day. Spoilers ahead First off, Madea is a great grandmother. Not grand. Great grand. That's three generations alive in the clan. How old exactly is Madea? Did she take some vampire blood?  Back to serious issues? What type of best friend helps her best friend divorce her husband and then fall in love with the best friend's husband to the extent of wanting to get married to him. That's wrong on so many levels. Especially if you include the fact that she was the attorney in charge of the divorce and the douche bag got everything from the divorce. Babe! She freaking broke e...

Movie Review: Moonshot

Well, well, well, would you look at Mars. I've been craving a romance movie for a while now and when I saw the trailer for Moonshot, I was like, yes. Finally! Something to see.  Yeah, maybe not so much happiness after all. Movie Plot Following the evolution of earth in 2049 where Mars is now habitable and a plane ticket cost $950,000, two teenagers struggle to come to their reality. While one longs to go to Mars because he doesn't feel at home on earth, the other misses her boyfriend and decides to go and join him. With so many dreams on the line, the two of them explore their fantasies. Okay. Where do I start from? Seeing Lana Condor and Cole Sprouse gave me so much happiness. You just have to love those two because of their individual performance in so many other movies. Case in point: Riverdale and To All The Boys I've Loved Before. I didn't have any expectations aside from seeing both of them together.  The storyline was pretty normal. You know, those re...
