Review of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) by Pureentertainer — 08 Apr 2022

Such a great movie. Extremely charming, funny, full of cute and funny characters, it's just such a solid and good movie. It's not without its flaws, some jokes do feel a bit too goofy at times and some pacing is fast but it never felt too fast. It was well-paced for most of the movie. Another thing is the acting, all voice actors shine, all human actors shine, and everyone did a really good job. I especially love how they inject a good amount of sonic lore as well as it was a very good touch that gives everything a lot of depth. Visual effects are honestly, really well done with only one scene that felt a little bit off but it was incredible for the most part. There are definitely some moments that could be a bit shorter but it is such a minor thing compared to a large number of positives and it makes the movie more fun anyway. This movie is just fun, respectful to the material, and charming and I think it is the best video game movie adaptation ever made.

As a movie on its own, I would give it a solid 8.5/10 but if you're a Sonic fan like me you will be in love with how well all the characters were represented and all the elements from the games being on the big screen. As a sonic-related "thing" it is honestly a 9.7/10 for me. It's very hard to go wrong with watching this movie, it never feels boring, story is a bit basic but still has twists and is solid. Overall, great.
