It's got 94% audience rating on RT. I personally want to watch it. Heard they were pretty close to the original lore.
WTF Sonic universe have a lore??
I take it you never watch Sonic cartoons like SataM, Underground, or X? Or even read the Archie comics? Sonic has lots of lore outside of it's video games.

I sense a video game movie renaissance incoming.
Never thought Angry Birds 2, Detective Pikachu and Sonic would be the first three video game movies to earn a Fresh score on RottenTomatoes after a non-stop Rotten streak for video game movies, but stranger things have happened.
Now if the upcoming Uncharted movie can be good, maybe one day video game movies might see a turnaround in quality and public perception much like how comic book movies changed a lot with Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.
Tom Holland says the script to Uncharted is one of the best scripts he's ever read because it explores the origins of the character more. Problem is, Tom, we got some origin backstory in the video games! Did he not play them? Not sure if he means what he says or just doing some publicity:
"I think what Uncharted offers that most video games films don't is that it's an origin story to the games," Holland told IGN earlier this week. "So if you played the games, you haven't seen what's going to happen in the film," Holland said. "And if you haven't played the games, you're going to enjoy the film because it's information that everyone else is getting at the same time. But I'm super excited to make that movie and it's been a long time coming.
"I read the newest draft of the script on the way over here and it's one of the best scripts I've ever read. It really, really jumps off the page."

For what it's worth, I do hope video game movies (when they are done right) will someday replace comic book movies cause they overstayed their welcome in the movie world. I strongly hope this Sonic movie sends a message to other studios if you want to make a good video game movie, please take the writing and don't screw it up seriously. Detective Pikachu, Mortal Kombat, and even Wreck-it-Ralph can lead to great video game movies. I wonder how will "Free Guy" do? That's another inspired video game movie I'm looking forward to.
Oh as for Uncharted movie. They should have replaced Tom Holland if there was a scheduling conflict with Spider-Man. I like him, but he is miscast as Drake. The only Uncharted movie I care about:
Not perfect, just the best we're ever going to get. To be perfect, there would have to be another hour and a half of this awesomeness and this is what's the problem with most movie directors, they lack imagination and talent, they don't have it!
