IGN by

Sonic’s first foray into live-action is a fast-paced joyride that’ll ring in entertainment for both fans and children.

The A.V. Club by A.A. Dowd

A nattering chore of a “family” comedy that feels written by committee and directed by indifferent machine.

50

USA Today by Brian Truitt

The film is fine, familiar fare for gamers and children: Sonic sprints, Carrey mugs, but the creative juices run out quickly.

Screen Rant by Molly Freeman

Sonic the Hedgehog is a fairly middling family-friendly adventure movie, but a comparably good video game adaptation the belies a great deal of potential for a stronger, even more ambitious sequel.

Observer by Oliver Jones

In what is something of a movie miracle or at the very least an unexpected surprise, this adaptation of the much-loved Sega video game franchise launched nearly 30 years ago as a direct assault on Nintendo’s leaping plumber Mario, largely presses the all the right buttons—and even does so in the right order.

Variety by Owen Gleiberman

We all know that your average Hollywood comedy tends to include some on-set improvisation, but in this case the contrast between the leaden pseudo-brashness of the rest of the movie and the ping! of Carrey’s dialogue is so marked that it almost feels like he made up his entire character on the spot. (I’m not declaring that he actually did. I’m just sayin’.)
