Sonic the Hedgehog | A Movie Mistake, An Artistic Pisstake, or A Proper Effort Not to Copy SEGA's Mascot?

There have been all sort of video game to movie failures over the years. The artistic direction behind these cash-in ideas always seem to miss the mark of the video game counterpart's greatness. Whether it be with the story being told, the lore interpretation, or character design directors just can't seem to understand what makes our favorite video game icons so memorable. Perhaps they try so hard not to create a clone that they end up creating something else entirely as a result out of respect of the source material. That having been said I've personally seen worse character design than that of the latest Sonic the Hedgehog depiction. Case in point the Super Mario Bros. movie that made King Koopa (aka, Bowser) into something totally different along with the Goombas, and Big Bertha. I get that Sonic looks more humanoid, and that he's on par with the furry fetish, but I do believe his design is not the worst. If anything my main concern lies with the story being told, and the chosen actors and actresses. None of which look fitting of a Sonic the Hedgehog tale ... outside of Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik imitation ... though even that is not purely Dr. Robotnik if we were to be honest.
