Pluskylang Great Film overall

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Madame Monster Sonic X looks great if you just saw the poster. However if you sit down and watch it you will find it's not what it seems to be.1. The story is pretty awful. For some reason the Chaos Emerald transport Sonic and his friends to Earth (I'm getting Smurfs vibes) and stays with some kid named Chris until he and the others return home. When they do return home soon after two seasons they have to go up to space. The story doesn't fit well with the setting. Why can't the characters be on Mobius? There is so much story potential there and not some clique E.T. rip off. Plus the story hardly focuses around Sonic. It's mostly involving the annoying human character Chris. Why would you name the TV show after the main character but give that character so little time on screen.2. The worst quality of this is the characters. The voice acting to start with is terrible. Tails sounds like a girl (I know a female does the voice but look at Fairly Odd Parents) Knuckles voice sounds too deep and gruff for him, Sonic sounds very off, Amy has an annoying voice and Chris is just a bothersome to listen to. The characters themselves are all bland stereotypes. Sonic is good, Egg- man is evil, Amy is the fan-girl, Tails is a sidekick, Knuckles is the hot head and Chris is the annoying kid that nobody likes to watch. He can't do anything without Sonic and he adds nothing to the story. He's a worthless character, period.3. The best part of this is the animation. It's pretty to look at flows well especially with the action sequences.This has tons of potential to be remade and told right! This proves that just because it looks nice doesn't mean it is. Get rid of the humans, focus on Mobius, get some decent voice actors, get more character development and continue with the good animation and you would have a great show. Just leave this show alone and watch the 1994 Sonic The Hedgehog cartoon or read the comics. Those didn't waste their potential.

jake733 This show, while mediocre and highly flawed, doesn't deserve nearly as much scorn as it gets. Yes, I do understand that the 4kids version and all of the voice actors in it (except possibly Mike Pollock as Eggman) are annoying, Chris is the one of the worst characters ever though of and has way to much screen time, and Cosmo's character was somewhat lazy on the part of the writers. I also understand that you can't just glance at a show and review it. You have to understand what the heck you're doing, which is why I'd like to say that the show is really far from the worst. You may be asking why, so I'll tell you that (1) I have seen far worse shows... far worse (you watch Season 12 of Family Guy or Season 7 of SpongeBob and tell me that this show is even half as bad as the other 2, I freaking dare you) (2) Watch the following episodes of this show (the Japanese or French versions, don't listen to the 4kids voice acting - it's bad enough to make Break Up by Mario listenable) - Episodes 62 and 68. If there's no other episode that you feel you enjoy, those ones are the best in the series. If you can push back slight flaws and the presence of one or two annoying characters, I also recommend episodes 53, 73, 74, and quite a few of the ones from season 1 (How to Catch A Hedgehog, Chaos Control Freaks, that one with Knuckles and a guy who calls himself "Hawk", etc.).The episodes I mentioned have far less of Chris Thorndyke than most episodes, and even the ones with him being there for the majority of the time are mediocre at worst. The only episodes I have a problem with are the finales of season 2 and season 3. The former has Chris Thorndyke at his absolute worst, and the definitive example of why everyone hates him. The latter has... way to much unnecessary cruelty, even for Tragedy, and the unfortunate implications... there's so many.Other than those, I consider this show to be... mediocre, but leaning towards good. Cut out Chris Thorndyke and try harder, and the show could be really good... just please, try harder. Season 1 gets a 5/10, Season 2 gets a 4/10, and Season 3 gets a 7/10. Overall: 5/10

ApprehensiveSpaghetti I have to admit, this is a terrible show. I know the first season of any show is not going to be its best, but the characters outside the Sonic ensemble are about as deep as a plate. Within the ensemble, well, there are plenty of reasons why this show should have just been about Sonic and his crew (and adversaries like Eggman and Shadow) and had nothing to do with Chris or the world he lives in.Chris is seriously the most shallow character I've ever seen. It seems every anthropomorphic character franchise hits this point eventually, where the main protagonist is paired-up with a human buddy, but Chris is just horribly written. He's honest-to-goodness a Marty Stu. I'm no hardcore Sonic fan by any means, in fact the time when I could have come even remotely close to being one was years ago and Sonic is just something I play if it happens to be around, but speaking as a casual viewer, Chris Thorndike is probably the absolute worst sidekick ever.He comes from privilege even exceeding Bruce Wayne. His mother is an actress whose career is as big as that of Tom Cruise, his father is the CEO of what is probably this world's analogue to Microsoft, and both are workaholics and never home. Not that Chris seems to mind. After all, he has his super-speedy uncle (whose speed probably enchants everyone but his wife) who also has an ego problem because there is indeed one creature who can run faster than his specialty car (take a guess) and an Einstein-smart grandfather who acts as the real father figure and has a secret lab beneath the vast estate and mansion where Chris lives. Throw in a stereotypical Hispanic maid and an Asian butler with all the personality of a chopstick and you have probably the blandest Marty Stu fanfic ever written. There's nothing engaging about any of these characters on a personal level; their chemistry is just horrible.Chris has everything a kid could possibly want and no evident problems relating with other people, so it's not as if he needed Sonic to enter his life at all. He's already the "cool kid", now made even cooler by association with Sonic. It's not evident that he has any personality flaws, at least any that he has to apologize for and let it stick (the one time he'd ever been berated in the first seven episodes was followed by an apology to him along with a gift!)As far as the show's formula, well, every episode is a new plot by Dr. Eggman. Here's what happens: He comes up with a new plot this week and gets foiled. He vows to come back next week with something else. Again, he fails.Knuckles apparently traded half his gray matter for sheer strength and was duped into thinking everything was Sonic's fault. I know the two were rivals back in the early days, but you'd swear Knuckles lost about 100 IQ points between then and now with how gullible he is. It takes very little from a very notoriously untrustworthy source to make him think the worst of Sonic and therefore become a (temporary) ally to Eggman.Everything wrong with this show can be traced to what was added in comparison to the games: a new world of humans and a human sidekick with one of the most enviable family trees ever. Sound like a Mary Sue fanfic to you? It should!Really rich kids are difficult characters to work with. But here's some examples of fiction that made it work: The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Richie Rich, you could conceivably count the Batman series, etc. But Sonic X makes no use of any of what these works did to make Chris or his family work at all.Admittedly, I've seen only seven episodes… but does it EVER CHANGE? It's the same thing every episode and the cast outside of the original Sonic franchise characters is just completely unlikable. I wouldn't miss any of them if they were all blown-up in an atomic bomb blast in the next episode, and that's not something I could say for any other show.

dokkelly-120-943270 This is the worst sonic show.sure the first episode was awesome but after that don't even bother.I mean it's obviously a complete rip-off of E.T,but it's not just that.The human characters are mind-numbingly boring especially Chris.I swear he has no personality,not to mention he's a completely unlikeable character too and another thing.Poor Sonic looks bored out of his hedgehog brains,I mean why do you think he always sleeps in this show.Because he has nothing better to do,might as well take a nap or 5.You'd think that be bad enough,but no it gets worst.After they complete the first two seasons they then completely rip off Star Trek.why?also the animation at points is really choppy,like a character could look cool in one shot but in the next look like it's melted,so basically it is a really lame show,if you want to see at least a descent Sonic show try Sonic SatAM.Aside from that do yourself a favor and skip this one
