Sonic the Hedgehog 3

This was the best movie in the series. The best parts about it were without a doubt the villains. It sounds dumb writing this, but Shadow was genuinely a sympathetic villain with a good backstory. I was kind of rooting for him if I was being honest. Jim Carrey as Eggman and Gerald was an absolute blast. He steals every scene he is in. The VR montage, the dance scene, the climax, the scene where they meet, etc. Jim Carrey gives it his all and I love it. I love how Gerald goes from being a goofy Dr. Doofenschmirtz type villain to being a "humanity was a mistake" villain. Great stuff. Also eggman's assistant is gay, so that's funny. Other than the villains though this movie was pretty boring and at times cringe. Sonic is one of the most annoying characters in fiction. Tails and Knuckles aren't far off in that department either. Sonic's human friends are generic and not funny. The plot is kind of all over the place but at its core it's pretty basic and bland. "Stop the villain from destroying the world with a lazer" is pretty overdone as you probably know. At least it has a more interesting plot than the first movie, which is just a road trip movie. The CGI looks better than a lot of movies but it still doesn't look too great. I'd recommend this movie if you want to watch some Jim Carrey shenanigans, but there's not much to offer outside of that.

The first Sonic movie I could watch without projectile vomitting into my never-ending pasta bowl. Jim Carrey's performance finally compliments the movie's wackiness in a way that works, and the plot is wholesome. The Gerald Robotnik death scene is cinema. Still, this is a Sonic movie. Expect the dialogue to sound like a fourth grade play.

Jim Carey is back!

Wow I am blown away by how good this movie actually was. Considering this is the follow-up to Sonic 2 that was more kid friendly it was crazy to see it go from that to an gritty emotionally driven story. With the addition of Shadow and Grandpa Robotnic this movie was just great all around. Cool fights, another great performance from Jim Carey as Eggman and also just the fact that all the characters just got to genuinely interact with each other. Most movies when it comes to have karge source material usually have multiple plot points going on with all different types of characters, but too see the story mainly focus on Sonic, Shadow, Eggman, Dr Robotnic, Knuckles and Tails was great. This by far was the most Sonic movie out of the trilogy and finally gelt like it was able to break free from restrictions of set up and focus on completly irrelevant human characters. Overall a great movie and I like how the ending made it so it wasnt a trilogy and that the franchise is still going, which removes any awkwardness of when the fourth movie comes out and doesnt ruin the ending.
