I remember when the first one was headed for disaster because Sonic's eyes were too far apart. Now, only 4 years later, it's a successful franchise with a 3rd movie coming out. It pays to bow to the never-wrong internet mob. :nod:

Indeed, not surprising as the first 2 did well and actually were not bad flics for what they are. Not future award winning ones but fun movies for a family to see. I've seen both while bringing my nephews.

The second movie had some really bad scenes but was still solid for the most part, especially if you played and understood the games. That said, I would say a lot of that success was because of having Jim Carrey in a lead role who absolutely destroyed it as Robotnik. Hopefully, we see Metal Sonic in this one, he's a legendary character in the franchise, but I guess we'll be seeing Shadow.

Who would've thought we'd be getting a 3rd movie after the initial backlash on the design.
One of the rare instances where the internet helped save a franchise rather than sink it
I was thinking about that earlier. It's a great example of a studio listening to the fans and being rewarded for it. That's what seems rare these days. Studios routinely sink their franchises by ignoring the fans and then blaming them when they don't watch. I wish that Paramount would learn from this and listen to Star Trek fans next, and Disney to Star Wars fans, but I'm not holding my breath.

Coincidentally during my trip to Hollywood last week they had the Sonic 3 red carpet premiere

Didn't actually see the movie although I did see a line for general admission so I'm sure I could have had I not been tired after a day of walking

Took my 7 and 9 year old nephews this weekend and they loved it and stay for mid credit scene as it looks like a 4th one will be made.
Here's the thing though like 4 people stayed in my theater during the credits everyone else left

I mean in Sonic 1 they basically announced tails in the credits and this time they announced
Pink Sonic
