He looks adorable. I'd even say to me Sonic looks cuter as a teenager than Baby Sonic!
His character makes total sense in the film: he's grown up exposed to pop culture, movies and such, but he probably didn't fully understand the meaning or context of those pieces of media. He mentally copied those codes in order to comunicate with people he knew... the very same people that had no idea a creature like Sonic could even exist. So sometimes, the comunication between Sonic and human characters feels akward, but it's made aparent that the script made this on purpose: Sonic is a child that, in his own words "has seen too many action flicks", and so he feels like an adventurer, even though he has never faced a threat like Robotnik ever before.
To sum it up, he's a goofball that sees himself as a powerhouse due to his powers, but doesn't realise his true potential and purpose until the final showdown against Robotnik. And that's a great portrayal for an origin story like this.
