Review of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) by Kai82 — 26 Apr 2022

A truly good sequel. Like the first movie it has a great cast with an amazing Jim Carrey, good humor and fan service that brings a smile to the faces of Sonic fans. The first movie is one of the very few good videogame adaptation and the second is one of the few sequels that rivals the first movie.

I am still undecided which one was better. It is a continuation of the first movie with new characters and the strengths of the prequel to give a short description. Several months have passed since the conclusion of the first movie.

Dr. Robotnik is still trapped on the mushroom planet but is still trying to get back to earth to get his revenge on the blue hedgehog while Sonic lives with the Wachowskis in Green Hills. He has problems as he uses his powers to be a hero but is a bit to reckless and makes not the smartest decisions (= Unpolished diamond with hearth of ghold like many hero's).

Meanwhile Dr. Robotnik used his resources for a way out when he gets the attention of a new character. I am a bit vague to avoid spoilers but the movie poster spoils everything already so I am not sure if it would count as spoiler.

However it is time for a rematch. The story is enjoyable, a great vessel for the humor and garnered with hearth warming scenes atop good fan service. I don't know why fan service is hated in movie studios as you please fans with it especially if done right like in this movie.

The movie is entertaining from start to epic finish would be my final description for the story while I admit that there is a least a serious logical error (Think about the time for the set up for the wedding and resolve).

The characters work again amazingly well. Be it Jim Carry as Dr. Robotnik who is so enjoyable and entertaining. It is Jim Carrey at his best and we want to see him return. Sonic and the two other characters I wont spoil work amazing and are completely believable.

They are as good as we want them to be and we had higher expectations. James Marsden and Tika Sumpter as the Wachowskis are adorable good. Lee Majdoub as (Agent?) Stone is a hidden gem and Shemar Moore together with Natasha Rothwell are amazing too.

We have a great cast and I cant complain the slightest. Please let everyone return for the next movie. The humor works so well and I think there was no misfire. The first movie has the better moments but this one is also truly good.

The special effects are top notch and give a great style of the iconic characters. Overall this was better than anticipated and for a sequel truly amazing. I round it up to a 10/10 because a good sequel should be praised as there are so many awful sequels out there.

Watch the credit scene to be hyped for the sequel which is in production if I read it right.
