"Today's forecast calls for a 100% chance of adventure!"
When the manic Dr. Robotnik returns to Earth with a new ally, Knuckles the Echidna, Sonic and his new friend Tails is all that stands in their way. I've got a lot going on right now so I apologize because I'm gonna gloss over this. Sonic the Hedgehog was a critical surprised when it landed in theaters in early 2020. Two years later, we have the sequel. I wasn't sure what to expect. The first was alright, much better than I expected. Really, it's just there to have a good time. Many people are loving this one more so than the first. I have to admit, I much prefer the first and feel conflicted about the sequel. The beginning is cute and all, but I found it hard to get into. For starters, the movie is two hours long. If you ask me, that's way too long for what it's worth. The first have of the movie dragged on for so long. There's a lot of jokes and fun for the audience, but it doesn't go anywhere. It seemed like a problem that I was more interested in the human storyline than Sonic's. Once we get to a halfway point where everyone is reunited, that's when things start to pick up.
Yet again do Ben Schwartz and Jim Carrey do a great job. It's so strange to think that these roles couldn't be played any better. It's a shame Jim Carrey is retiring from acting, because I'm would honestly like to see him have a solid ending to Dr. Robotnik (and also see him in other movies). We're introduced to Tails and Knuckles. Tails gets a better treatment than Knuckles if you ask me. I wish they didn't go the route they did with Knuckles because I honestly expected a little more. There's still more time to get to know the character more. The comedy, though not as strong as the first, is still pretty good. They know who their audience is and have something for everyone. Come the second half, we get these grander scale action sequences. I think the final battle was actually decent and the strongest part of the whole movie. It leads to new opportunities for the upcoming installment(s) and gave a little more character development to everyone, even though it's kind of predictable. I don't have a lot more to say about this. I feel a bit letdown, but I still had a decent time. The second half really saves the movie as a whole and I'm still sort of excited for the next one, especially with the after credit scene. If there's one thing the Sonic movies know how to do is have a good time.
