Yeah.... I dunno about any of this. First of all, James Marsden, why are you always cast in these weird ass roles? You've fallen a long way from your Cyclops days, pal. And you were killed off-screen in that film! Sigh... from Cyclops to Superman's wife's boyfriend to Sonic's best human pal. My lord.
Sonic is a live-action flick based on the Sega franchise, and follows what appears to be a very, very by the numbers plot. Jim Carrey looks amazing as Robotnik, but the whole, "bring in the military who sides with the big bad to stop the hero cuz everything is one big misunderstanding" is pretty played out.
The film follows Sonic as he navigates the complexities of life on Earth (I guess he's an alien, or...?) with his new human best friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden), who, of course, plays a small town cop. Sonic and Tom join forces to try and stop the villainous Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) from capturing Sonic and using his immense powers for world domination. I'm assuming he's going to harness his speed somehow? Questions I have:
Where the hell is Tails?
Where are the rings?
What purpose will they serve?
Why is Dr. Robotnik not fat?
Why are they playing it straight?
Also.... just why?
The film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic, give the trailer a watch and let me know what you think, cuz I just don't know what to do with all this.
