Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Sonic 2 was much more enjoyable for me to watch. The additions of Miles "Tails" Prower and Knuckles were great. Dr. Robotnik's henchman being kind of attracted to Robotnik was... strange. I didn't like that. And that one girl, I think her name was Rachel in the film, is insane. The music was good, the CGI was good, and Knuckles was awesome, funny, and cool (I'm a Knuckles fan, if you couldn't tell). I'm excited to see what they do with Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog 3!

**Sonic 2 is as fun and ridiculous as the first, for better or worse.** Sonic 2 continues the formula that brought its predecessor success the first time with colorful, funny characters that make jokes that every kid will giggle at and a completely unrestrained Jim Carrey in his element and at his best. This time the movie swaps Sonic's human sidekicks for animated characters from the games, with Idris Elba's Knuckles being surprisingly funny (I didn't expect that from the trailers). Just like the first movie, Carrey makes this movie so entertaining. His outrageous performance perfectly fits the role of a kids' video game villain, and his snappy dialogue and quipped one-liners made me laugh at almost every scene he graced. Sonic 2 is not a typical movie I would choose for myself, but I'm not upset when my little daughter chooses to watch it over many other kids' movie options.

Lol, I can't believe these movies are being made. If you're adapting the Sonic canon into a modern family-action-comedy film, this is kind of the best-case scenario. Much more bonkers than I anticipated, but not always in a good way. Definitely a fun time!
