I compare the movie to Casshern. I also point out the movie Space Pirate Captain Harlock, a movie made by the same people who made the cinematic cutscenes and intros to Sonic and most Sega games.

There is no solid evidence to say the movie will either be live-action over CGI or CGI over live-actiona. But we know for a fact it will be a blend of CGI and live-action so may as well think the possitives about it than moan how this movie should be before we are even graced with trailers or teasers to establish a fair oppinion. For all we know it maybe decided to be entirely CGI at one point in production and the producers simply want the production news kept off the internet until more development.

If Sonic's movie is sparing it's budget in CGI then the money must be going into something worth while.

As I said before there are those who think little of the Sonic fandom, they think Sonic games are bad and Sonic himself not much of a celebraty. We will be no better than those critics if we ourselves just pressume Sonic's upcoming movie will be another nail in the coffin for Sonic.

The most absolute worst case scenario I can possibly imagine will be the movie will have a Sonic X like concept. But I strongly doubt Sega would produce such a movie like that because they know of Sonic X feedback on a global scale than just Japan and America as well as I am sure Sega gave attention to Blue Core Studio's Sonic fan film to be aware of why the movie was not as popular or as well recieved as expected to be.

More importantly, It is extremely likely the movie will be set in it's own canon. When Sonic Boom was announced I was sceptical at first, but I was optimistic because no matter how bad Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric was or how lame the jokes in the TV series are, it's not part of Sega Sonic canon anyway. Take a look at Super Mario Bros movie, it was terrible. In yet Mario's reputation with his fans isn't buried because of it.

If you know what it takes to make a bad movie then I am sure there are those in the movies productions who are well aware of it.
