4.5/5 They did it.


The first above mid videogame movie. It took decades, but it finally happened tonight. Well done.

Oh, indeed! And it is a third movie as well, a great one... because third movie installments are usually bad. An excellent and super entertaining movie with a wonderful message too. No silly messages. Just like the last two movies, this one is totally re-watchable. So many memorable jokes and scenes too, "I know, grandson. A woman in the military...." that line got a whole lot of laughs at my screening.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the best of the three in my opinion. 8/10 The

The Knuckles show is worth a watch.

I thought the last two Sonic films, Detective Pikachu and Gran Turismo were all entertaining but yeah this is definitely the best video game film yet.

Way better than the Mario film from last year which just didn’t have the laughs at all and was purely aimed at kids.

reply

didn't that Mario video game movie do a little okay?

reply

No. It was soulless slop even for children's media. Pure brain junk food that fills sensitive brains with nonsense.

reply

Well this is encouraging. I did not care much for the mario film.

This isn't the first above mid video game movie. A pretty good video game movie came out early to mid 90's that is perhaps still the best video game adaption.

Yeah, the first Mortal Kombat movie comes to my mind as the first genuinely good one based on a video game. Silent Hill and Prince Of Persia were also "above mid". I personally considered Warcraft to be more than acceptable, despite the wide criticism. Also Wreck It Ralph, Ready Player One and Free Guy were decent, if you consider them as contenders given they're not based on any specific video game.

Mortal Kombat was alright. Not the movie I had in mind.
