User blog:Darkchaos2795/Regarding the 2018 Movie

 From what I researched about the new 2018 Sonic the Hedgehog movie, the film is suppose to be a combination of live-action and CG animation. That's already raising the red flag, especially for a case like Sonic, but when I looked deeper and it turns out that it's being made by Sony Pictures Animation, it seems worse than it already is. We've already seen them ruining the image of the Smurfs with the crappy live-action films, and they only made a handful of good movies, most of them being ignored by them and the audience. I'm afraid that Sonic will be given the same treatment given to the Smurfs, especially with how Sega is doing with their brain-dead developers.

Hell, the story synopsis at IMDb doesn't sound good at all: "Sonic and his friends have to team up with Dr. Eggman to beat the hugest evil." That sounds like 80% of the Sonic games and media, doesn't it? Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06, Sonic Lost World... If it doesn't work on the games, then they should change it to something more interesting, but they didn't. Looking at my project, Blue Blur, even though it is a fan project, it saddens me that it has proper caring than what could potentially happen to the Sonic movie. Hell, some of the other stories I've seen here are better than the upcoming movie: Juely's Sonic film he has in mind sounds fantastic; Williamcost's story of Silver the Hedgehog: The Telling of the Future is great. Sure, they have problems, but even the greatest movies aren't perfect. But that shouldn't excuse laziness, as the new Sonic flm sounds like. Hell, since Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric was horrible due to laziness, I'm afraid the film will be no different, with Sega repeating the same mistakes over and over again without thinking twice about it. And it's sad that, despite how horrible the Sonic fanbase is, the fans can come up with stories that are better than anything from Sega.

But... maybe I could be wrong. I'm very doubtful towards the film, and I have reasons why, with Sega's repeating record of bad Sonic games, and Sony's deal with the Smurf movie being a rip-off of the already-awful Chipmunk movie. But in the end, it could be a good movie, for all I know. Though I'm still doubtful that the upcoming film will ever be good.
