Personally, I found myself attached to the story and many of the elements made it an even more enjoyable experience. This movie is less like the video game and more of a 'What If?' scenario for the character of Sonic. Their bond has them eventually working together against the evil Dr. Having to fend for himself for many years, he eventually is hunted by a mad scientist and befriended by a man named Tom (James Marsden).
Having to flee from his homeworld via a teleportation ring, a fast, blue hedgehog by the name of Sonic ends up on Earth at a very young age. Now, this film is far from great, but in terms of adapting a video game, this may just be the best one yet. That's a pretty sad truth because movies like Sonic The Hedgehog deserve some recognition. Although the video game industry is booming and probably always will be, the need for game-to-film adaptations doesn't seem to have any benefit for movie studios. Aside from maybe 2018's version of Tomb Raider or Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, most films based on video games either terribly miss the mark or bomb at the box office.
