I have mixed feelings about the fix, mainly as it doesn't actually fix anything!

See this film is the directors first film, Paramount handed this to a new director who i'm fairly certain doesn't have the power to completely re-design the films MAIN CHARACTER 6 months before release, hired on the cheap (Jim Carrey isn't as bankable a star as he was, and the rest of the cast sure isn't) and are now shitting themselves people don't like it...but they've known that SINCE THEY RELEASED THE TEASER 6 MONTHS AGO! IN FACT THEY DOUBLED DOWN AND ATTACKED PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T LIKE THE FUCKING DESIGN BACK THEN! Oh but NOW they're listening? Fuck off are they, their PR dept have been doing the rounds since the trailers release and figured people weren't just bashing it, most people were saying they had no interest in seeing it in theatres, they'd just wait for a stream...and they are now in full on damage control because they'll lose so much money.

What makes it worse it they haven't announced a delay or budget increase, why? Because animators in Hollywood routinely get shafted, they'll be expected to completely re-do the films MAIN CHARACTER within 6 months of crunch overtime for no extra...all because Paramount green lit a fucking awful design and overestimated Sonic's brand power. This is the cheapest fix, but it doesn't even begin to address the other problems with the trailer (it looks like a TV special, the writing and script are laughable...and these were the best scenes they could pick for the trailer!)

This film is turning into a fucking car crash in action, Paramount would do well to just sell this to Netflix and be done with it.
