Sonic 2 was much more enjoyable for me to watch. The additions of Miles "Tails" Prower and Knuckles were great. Dr. Robotnik's henchman being kind of attracted to Robotnik was... strange. I didn't like that. And that one girl, I think her name was Rachel in the film, is insane. The music was good, the CGI was good, and Knuckles was awesome, funny, and cool (I'm a Knuckles fan, if you couldn't tell). I'm excited to...

**Sonic 2 is as fun and ridiculous as the first, for better or worse.** Sonic 2 continues the formula that brought its predecessor success the first time with colorful, funny characters that make jokes that every kid will giggle at and a completely unrestrained Jim Carrey in his element and at his best. This time the movie swaps Sonic's human sidekicks for animated characters from the games, with Idris Elba's K...

Lol, I can't believe these movies are being made. If you're adapting the Sonic canon into a modern family-action-comedy film, this is kind of the best-case scenario. Much more bonkers than I anticipated, but not always in a good way. Definitely a fun time!

The third time is the charm or, after having been less than thrilled about the last two movies I have watched this one was finally one that I quite enjoyed. When I watched the first Sonic movie with the kids I was quite amused by it. This one I also watched with the kids and I have to say it was some fun two hours. These movies are pure comedies with an aspect of adventure. Make no mistake about, they are si...

Full review: <a>https://www.tinakakadelis.com/beyond-the-cinerama-dome/2022/4/13/go-speed-racer-sonic-the-hedgehog-2-review<a> Sonic the Hedgehog 2 picks up not long after the events of the first film. Doctor Robotnik (Jim Carrey) was banished from Earth by Sonic (Ben Schwartz) and crash-landed his spaceship on the Mushroom Planet. His only means of escape is Sonic’s quill, which is flowing with immense energy,...

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 embraces the nostalgia of Sega Genesis and the essence of the 90s with a film that is fun for absolutely everyone of all ages. Audiences will adore the new characters, the action is a memorable throwback to what we loved about the games the films are based on, and the special effects are top notch. Even with its flaws, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the best video game adaptation ever. Full review...

Never saw the first one, nor played any of the games - but I still quite enjoyed this animated adventure. "Sonic" is determined to use his powers to be a crime fighting hero, but frequently causes more havoc than the criminals! When the dastardly "Robotnik" manages to escape from his prison in a galaxy far, far, way and returns with the echidna from hell ("Knuckles") though, our blue pal finds himself and his fami...

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/sonic-the-hedgehog-2-spoiler-free-review "Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a vastly superior sequel to the first adaptation. Jeff Fowler works with his screenwriting team to fix some of the issues with the original flick, successfully managing to create a much less corporate work, more focused on Sonic and, this time, also Tails and Knuckles, in addi...
