The latest installment in the Sonic franchise, “Sonic the Hedgehog 3”, has hit theaters with a mix of laughs, action, and nostalgia. While it’s not a cinematic masterpiece, the film delivers on what fans and kids like Parker want: Sonic being Sonic.
Ben Schwartz returns as the voice of Sonic, bringing his signature cocky charm and playfulness to the character. His chemistry with Jim Carrey, who plays Dr. Robotnik in peak form, is particularly enjoyable. The banter between Sonic, Tails (Colleen O’Shaughnessey), and Knuckles (Idris Elba) is genuinely funny and creates a trio that works surprisingly well.
Jim Carrey shines as the iconic villain, channeling his over-the-top energy to create a character that’s equal parts ridiculous and entertaining. His performance is a highlight of the film, making it hard not to smile as he throws himself into the role’s absurdity.
However, the pacing falters in the second act, with some scenes feeling like they’re just there to pad the runtime. The jokes also become hit-or-miss during this section, and younger audiences might start to lose interest. The film picks up again in the third act with an action-packed finale that’s sure to leave fans cheering.
Despite its flaws, “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” strikes a good balance between fan service and accessibility for newcomers. Longtime Sonic fans will appreciate the callbacks to the games, while kids and casual viewers will enjoy the humor and colorful action. It’s a fun ride that’s suitable for families and is sure to entertain fans of the franchise.
Rated PG for mild action and rude humor, “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” may not be a cinematic masterpiece, but it’s a step up from the second movie and offers plenty of laughs and entertainment. With Ben Schwartz’s Sonic remaining a delight, Jim Carrey in top comedic form, and the dynamic between Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, this film is a solid choice for fans looking for a fun, family-friendly outing.
