Sonic The Hedgehog review


Upon it's initial reveal the beloved video game icon Sonic The Hedgehog's design from video game character to movie star did not sit well with fans. His design was way off. Gone was the bright open eyes and red & white shoes. In it's place was a more realistic looking Hedgehog that looked like something that was fan-made and not by a million dollar budget. After some time passed however another trailer dropped for Sonic The Hedgehog and it was spectacular. Gone was the freakish design and in it's place was a far more faithful design of Sonic. So what that in place could the movie actually be any good?? starring James Marsden and Jim Carrey as Dr Robotnick himself Sonic's big screen debut is a fun, emotion filled tale about friendship, fun and getting to know yourself better.

 First off there is Jim Carrey and he is perfectly cast as the mad genius that is Dr Robotnick also known as Eggman. He's hilarious, way over the top and a genius true and true. He is easily the standout out here in a role that really was just made for him in my opinion. James Marsden is fine here also his performance isn't anything amazing or anything but he and Sonic when together make a incredibly enjoyable duo to watch. Speaking of Sonic he is beautifully animated with those giant eyes and iconic shoes in tact. All he wants is to not be alone on Earth and after hiding away for years his wish comes true but it's at the cost of others as by revealing himself he puts others in danger as the hunt for his power begins. 
At it's core Sonic The Hedgehog is a movie about friendship and the power it houses. It's a wild ride with such an overall fun feeling that will leave you with a giant smile on your face scene after scene. Jim Carrey plays perfectly to everything and everyone around him and all in all this is one of the finest video game to movie adaptations that I've seen in quite some time. I'd even go as far as to say it's in the top 3 of all time. It's a charming, spectacular experience that is made all the more special if you're a fan of the video games themselves. Sonic The Hedgehog is definitely worth checking out.

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
