The Invisible Man 2020 Movie Review Better Than I Thought  I just got out of seeing The Invisible Man with a friend of mine at my local theater. I didn't have any hope for this film going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Invisible Man follows Cecilia ( Elisabeth Moss ) as she runs from her abusive boyfriend.

In this live-action adventure comedy, Sonic and his new best friend Tom (James Marsden) team up to defend the planet from the evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and his plans for world domination. The family-friendly film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic." I wasn't really feeling it from this version of Sonic. I was a big Sonic fan when I was a kid. Like a big fan. I played the games, read  the  comics,...
