Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie review: Familiar but fun story of heroes and villains, aimed firmly at kids

Firstpost  

Sonic 2 doffs its hat to the MCU so often, that every time Sonic uses one of his rings to open a portal, I half-expect Benedict Wong to step out of it. He’s using his big brain and a solitary blue quill he nicked off Sonic in the last film, to call for off-world help. Hedgehog parents Tom and Maddie leave Sonic at home while they teleport to Hawaii for the wedding of Maddie’s sister Rachel, played by a scene-stealing Natasha Rothwell. Highly inspired by Sonic’s shenanigans then, Tails turns up to help Sonic face his enemies this time round, with questionable results.

LA Times  

The thing about the “Sonic the Hedgehog” movies is that they continue to surprise — with how humorous, self-referential and even insightful they can be. Helmed at a breakneck pace by Jeff Fowler, “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” is loud, chaotic and often corny, with a visual style that can only be described as “retina-searing,” but the script by Pat Casey, …
