Sonic the Hedgehog 2

The hit sequel to Sonic is a gaming success both financially and qualitatively. It's hard to think of a more entertaining family filmin recent memory. Jim Carrey is absolutely off the rails here, it's great to see him in a role he's thoroughly enjoying after a long time, and his grimaces, wisecracks, and gags are properly wild again. Sonic is endearing, the one-liners and allusions to various films are a delight, the action is cool, the finale packed with references references to the game is fine, and there's one very unexpected twist. Really great fun for me. 7.5/10. (2022-05-08)

The sequel picks up exactly where the original left off. I’m honestly glad for this continuity. Otherwise, the second film rides the same wave as its predecessor (the first one worked, so why change something that’s proven, right?). The only significant change the film introduces is new characters. Knuckles and Tails were a delight... Otherwise, the chemistry between Sonic and the sheriff remains unbeatable, and plenty of jokes hit the mark. And Jim Carrey? He completely unleashed his genius here and reminded me why I fell in love with his live-action comedies in the first place. His unique style of acting can’t be imitated, let alone taught. He just has the gift... And that’s where I’ll wrap it up... The ending teased a third installment. We’ll see. I’m already looking forward to Christmas 2024 and might even consider going to the movie theater. 7/10. (2024-09-15)

I found the second outing of the blue hedgehog comparable in quality to the first one, in fact I could write almost the same thing about the sequel as I did about its predecessor. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is entertainment with all the trimmings, aimed mainly at a younger audience, yet it manages to appeal to an adult viewer as well. Jim Carrey as Robotnik may have changed his moustache, but his (at times annoying) ticks remain. The alien family has grown to include two more characters (Tails and Knuckles), but they were not as entertaining as Sonic. A good portion of the humour was again provided by Natasha Rothwell as the very bad-ass bride. In the last third, the films winks at the MCU – Magneto and Captain Marvel. The kids in the theater were laughing out loud, I was more just inwardly amused. But I'll gladly go to the next sequel, which the ending this one beckoned. Better three stars! (2022-04-03)

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is simply the ultimate cringefest for two hours from top to bottom and bottom to top. Kids will be entertained, adults probably only on the condition that they resign themselves to watching the film with their kids for two hours, otherwise I don't really see why a rational viewer should watch Sonic when one better film after another is being released in contemporary cinema.

Pretty much the same thing we got from Sonic last time. Still good for me, though. The blue hedgehog is likeable, he's good at action and humour, Jim Carrey is still having fun on screen and the new villain Knuckles is good too. It's a shame the film is a bit too long, which is especially evident in the third quarter, which deals with things that have little to do with Sonic and his adventures. But otherwise it passes pleasantly and neither children nor adults will be bored. (2022-04-03)
