The people who did go for him seemed to enjoy it. I definitely think he plays the role well, it's just the jokes didn't really land with me outside a couple soft chuckles.
Again, I can see what people like about the movie, but as someone whose reaction to the first trailer was more "that looks like a Smurfs or Alvin/Chipmunks movie with Sonic than a so-bad-i'ts-good thing" I feel I was correct the first time.
I became a lot more interested after the redesign (better trailer imo) and good reviews came pouring in, but the actual plot and characters are pretty much what the first trailer promised.
