This movie is all over the place, tries to be smart-ass and irreverent but then expects to pull moments of pathos out of nowhere and have them hit you right in the feels. But it never works, because the script can't decide who Sonic is. Is he a fish-out-of-water orphan who yearns to belong and be loved - or is he a pop culture-spouting, wisecracking smartass who just wants to run fast and have a loud, fun time? The voice casting doesn't help; I like Ben Schwartz, but he sounds too old and leans too heavily into selling his shtick, so that it's hard to feel any sympathy for this lost outsider looking for connection.

Jason Marsden is fine as the generic, well-meaning human sidekick, but his character's throughline is ludicrous: he wants to leave Montana and go to San Francisco to be a beat cop, but meanwhile his wife is happy to shrug off her veterinarian practice to make this street cop dream come true?? What kind of partner is he? Does she have no inner life? Well it's hard to tell, because whatever sparks her interests is as poorly developed as whatever sci-fi electrical impulse abilities Sonic possesses- that enter and exit the story just in time to provide a lazy and unexplained plot shift.

A tonal mess, lazily plotted, with some truly ugly animation. At least Jim Carrey gave it his all.

Everything about this movie feels like it was created by some horrible derivative algorithm. The bland wallpapered music, the dumb casting (Marky Mark calling Tom Holland "Kid" throughout just felt ridiculous. Also was the dialogue meant for an older British guy? It was so weird), the horrid dialogue, ridiculous plot, and lazy direction. Most of all, the writing was absurd. Everything feels made up on the spot and there is zero fun of discovery. Don't get me started about the big third-act set piece. It's one of the most absurd action sequences put to film.

I can set aside a little disbelief for a fun adventure film, but "Uncharted" throws all believability out the window. Seriously, the less you know about physics a or well, just about anything the better. A truly stupid movie.

Three episodes in and I'm still waiting for some interesting and identifiable characters to appear. This show is dull and listless and seems to take it for granted that the audience will automatically care about anything the vaguely-sketched characters are talking about. I have not read the graphic novels but I'm familiar with some of Gaiman's other work and this feels par for the course. He loves playing in his mythological sandbox but can't create a fully fleshed-out character to save his life. It also looks fake and cheap. I noticed David Goyer is producing this, and having witnessed how he sh#t the bed with "Foundation" I guess none of this is surprising.
