"That was better than I expected" Kurahashi said
"What do you mean by that?" Nagisa asked as he ordered some food
"well Live action video game movies haven't had the best track records" Kurahashi said
"I know that, but that have been improving over the years" Nagisa said
"Okay, okay. But why did the first ever video game movie have to be Mario?" Kurahashi said
"Don't tell me you were a Nintendo girl" Nagisa laughed as he was passed a couple of hot dogs, one of which he gave to his girlfriend
"Yeah why?" Kurahashi asked
"Because Sega does what Nintendon't" he chuckled "Okay, okay I get it, can we do our usual post movie talk now?"
"Sure but the first thing we have to address is that"
"Of course, that thing made it a successful movie" Nagisa said
"It did get a lot of negative attention. But at least they listened which is a lot better than some studios; which delayed the movie but made him look a lot better and cuter" she said
"Just shows you the power of the fans" Nagisa said
"Another thing they got was the actor for Robotnik; he was the right amount of cartoony" Kurahashi said "although he didn't exactly look like Robotnik or Eggman until the end"
"And he really did use Egg robots" Nagisa said
"So the whole coming to our world element, did you think it worked?" Kurahashi said
"It did, rather well in fact since they did it with the Sonic X anime, but I think it was also necessary as well since there would be a lot of people going to this movie who wouldn't have played any of the games like yourself" Nagisa said "And it added a human element into it"
"I like the fact it had a natural feeling love interesting to the male character rather than him being the dorky cop going gaga over the pretty lady like some movie" Kurahashi said "Though it wasn't subtle with the naming of the town"
"Sure weren't" Nagisa said as he took another bit of his food.
"But why did they set part of it in San Francisco?" Kurahashi asked
"I think that some level is Sonic Adventure 2 was inspired by the city" Nagisa said
"Ah okay" Kurahashi said "So the bots in this movie were different than the ones in the game right?"
"That's because they were made in the real world instead of the game world where they were powered by baby animals" Nagisa said
"What, that's what powers them in the game?" Kurahashi asked shocked
"Yeah, you free by blowing up the robots" Nagisa said "But that car one that chased after them on the freeway was a cool looking design"
"No kidding, but it was like three in one" Kurahashi said
"The last thing I want to touch on is that power boost" Kurahashi said
"you mean the one where he gets supercharged based on his emotions?" Nagisa asked
"Yeah, wasn't the source of the power up different in game?" Kurahashi asked
"They were but it wasn't that power up, I'm guessing they're leaving that for a future sequel, since it is something seriously major"
"Okay, another thing was the sister in law, while she was annoying, but needed for the plot to advance" Kurahashi said
"But the niece giving Sonic his trademark shoes was pretty cool and heartwarming; anyway I would say it was a pretty good movie, you?"
"The same, one of the best video game movies of all time. Sadly the next video game movie is Monster Hunter and who knows how they'll screw that one up" Kurahashi said
"Well, we'll just have to see, come on I have an idea" Nagisa said smiling
"What is it?" Kurahashi asked
"I show you the good old blast processing power of Sonic the Hedgehog" Nagisa said as he took her hand and lead her off
"Sounds like fun" she smiled.
G'day Guys Grizz here...And yes this is now a thing, so instead of posting a new fic per movie I decided to change the title of this fic from loving geeks react to Birds of Prey to Loving geeks react to geeky movies, so everytime I'll be watching a 'geeky' movie in cinemas I'll write up a new chapter.
So this morning I took my nephews to see the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, something that I was not going to see EVER! when the original trailer dropped. But the second trailer did change my mind like with Toy Story 4 (I did enjoy that one after originally decide I wasn't going to see it) I enjoyed it and so did my nephews which was a good thing
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
