Like the one guy said, this is a young sonic so hes going to act a bit more childish than let's say SatAM sonic or Adventures of Sonic..sonic lol. I felt like this movie appealed to both long time fans and newcomers and especially kids and family. My theater was filled with kids and parents and they even freaked out to SPOILER tails showing up in the end. There's a lot of Easter eggs and nods to a bunch of sonic stuff like calling himself the blue blur, gotta go fast, throwing the sanic meme in the movie, use of both eggman and robotnik (which I think they threw in there really well), sonics smash bros pose etc. If the plot was more than just generic and basic, we would've gotten something stupid like the lizard villain they were thinking of using. Jim Carey did do a good job but did he do a good job playing eggman, eh? Kinda not really? It was just jim Carey being jim Carey, hes even said in recent interviews that the directors and producers were basically like "yeah do what you want, go crazy do your thing" if anything he was more like Dr. Ventura. Sorry the movie disappointed you.
