Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the confident sequel the original left me hoping for, with a sharper script and jokes that'll leave you giggling. It maintains the original's family friendly tone and dives into the classic games to create a cinematic universe for Sega's beloved icon.
The screenplay reflects actual effort, and Jim Carrey gets to be unfettered in his performance, leading a surprisingly satisfying follow-up.

I can't believe how entertaining this movie was. Great performance, funny extra scene, and of course great sequel bait. I can't wait to see the next movie!

the critic is just.. not correct

It’s truly impressive that Fowler has found a way to integrate the wild world and characters of the Sonic the Hedgehog games into the real world in a way that actually works, but it’s a shame that it comes at the expense of the story of friendship that made the first Sonic the Hedgehog film so charming.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has just enough laughs to make its shopworn lessons about the value of friendship and (brace yourself) teamwork feel like part of a harmlessly amusing kids’ movie, rather than an insidious way of training kids to expect and even demand franchise bloat.
From a technical standpoint, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is fairly impressive in its merging of live-action and animation, a reminder of the technological advancements since the days of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Too bad it is in service to one more story of a scrappy young male hero on a search for powerful talismans in order to defeat increasingly more formidable villains. For a film about a character who is incredibly speedy, this sequel feels behind the curve, chasing after blockbuster trends but only falling farther behind.
High-speed antics have never felt this slow.
There’s a joke where people say, “This film’s plot could’ve been written on the back of a napkin!” Yet for Sonic 2, a napkin seems like the equivalent of multi-volumed antiquarian tome, as there is so little of substance to this depressingly rote endeavour.
This is... still mediocre. more references are cool and all but they limit themselves on how much fan service they can put in this movie and I think it hurts the experience. also why isn't this just set in sonics world? I don't like being in the real world here again it doesn't work at all. its better than the first definitely but I still cant say its good.

The sequel to the year 2022. There would be no movie without Jim Carrey. The man carries the film on his back. All other players are ineffective. If there's comedy in the movie, there's Jim Carrey. Since there is no need to look for logic or something, it remains to say a fun movie that can be watched with the family. That woman who got married and the events there would have happened at all. It spoils the fun of the movie. In addition, I did not miss the fact that she wore sneakers under her wedding dress and got out of the golf cart with evening shoes. I think there will be no Jim Carrey in the next episodes, even if there is Robotnik. If only they had given him a good ending.
Still, why the laser sent by hundreds of machines does not even accidentally touch, or dozens of rockets do not hit. Animated characters won't die anyway. I'm not looking for logic, but illogicality is too much bro. Yes, I'm a Robotnikist.
