We witness a police chase with an armored vehicle down a busy city street. We see some extraterrestrials get knocked out. A character is blown away by an electric shock. VIOLENCE: Heavy (but in a cartoonish-like manner mostly). In the second film however, I feel that some of the main characters receive these messages loud and clear. In the first film, we received only small doses of these messages, if any. To the film’s credit, though, what “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” has more in abundance than the previous film is strong, wholesome themes that can be shared with the entire family: themes regarding courage, family, bravery, and the true definition of a hero. I commend Idris Elba’s performance as the voice of Knuckles. James Marsden also has a much smaller role this time around, which is sad, as the chemistry between him and Ben Schwartz (who plays Sonic) was by far a comedic gold mine in the first film. However, the performances by a few of the lead roles, particularly by Jim Carrey, felt restrained and even lackluster, as many other critics have pointed out (yes, Jim Carrey was a bit crass in the first film, but this time he was barely humorous at all). The action is still relatively strong (and frequent, which I’ll mention later). The CGI is still as strong as the first film. The excitement, the ingenuity and intrigue I felt walking out of the first film were missing this time around.ĭon’t get me wrong, all the technical aspects from the first film made their way into the second. It’s only been two years since the first film came out. I say all this because this is the question that lingers in my mind at this very moment. More often than not it seems these days, Hollywood filmmakers are firing out sequels to simply cash-in on the fanbase as quickly as they can before the fanbase loses interest and moves on to something else.
#Sonic the hedgehog 2 2022 movie
Rare is the day where I can write a movie review and state that a sequel actually improves upon its predecessor.
Sonic and his new friend Tails must race to protect the Emerald, lest untold evil unfold upon the good citizens of Earth and the whole galaxy itself. As Knuckles is trying to beat the information out of Sonic, a creature from another dimension, named Tails ( Collen O'Shanussy) rescues him. Sonic states he has no knowledge of the Emerald. Knuckles attacks Sonic demanding to know the whereabouts of the Master Emerald, a jewel that can turn thoughts into reality. Sonic is left in charge of the house for the first time ever, when Robotnik appears, alongside Knuckles. “I’ll tell you, but only if you help me return to Earth,” Robotnik retorts.įast-forward a couple days. Knuckles notices a blue quill in Robotnik’s hand. When he is finally able to open a portal, however, a mysterious creature, an echidna named Knuckles ( Idris Elba) appears.
Meanwhile, on the Mushroom Planet, Dr Robtonik has been living in solitude for almost an entire year, plotting his revenge and trying to find a way to return to Earth. However, Tom believes Sonic still has some growing up to do before then.
So, Sonic has been sneaking out at night as his alias, “The Blue Justice,” fighting crime in Seattle to prove to his friend/guardian Tom ( James Marsden) that he is grown up and responsible and ready to take on new challenges. Robotnik and banished him to the Mushroom Planet things have been relatively quiet in Green Hills.
