'Sonic the Hedgehog 2': Review

This sequel would not surprise anyone who watched 2020's Sonic the Hedgehog as its end credit scene previewed that Dr. Robotnik's villainous ways ain't over yet. No one would also be surprised if there's a third instalment as anyone could pigeonhole this movie as one who's yet again join the numerous franchise the movie industry is known nowadays. There will be a third instalment and it's best to watch 'til the end.

Yet the journey to this movie's ending is fun. A barrage of jokes throughout even in its most climactic moments. Some worked, some didn't, but its weirdest moments that are not necessarily related with the hedgehog characters worked in odd ways. Natasha Rothwell for one is nowhere near any of the forefront characters but her character's wedding is a huge out of place moment that worked for me immensely. Her moments are probably my favorite in the movie which wouldn't be a shock since they obviously were added for the adults because this movie based from the Sega videogame is surely made for either kids or kid-at-heart folks who enjoyed Sonic when they were kids. Even then, this is a massive improvement from the first. The addition of Knucles and Tails made for a great adventure for Sonic. Their scenes together are way more entertaining compared to Sonic's scenes with the humans. So the next one would probably still be as fun because of this threesome.
