So about a week ago I saw Sonic the Hedgehog 2 obviously. And my overall opinion was that it was on par with the first one but not better. This review will have spoilers too so be warned.

Now it's no secret that I'm a huge Sonic fan and have been ever since I was a little kid from playing the classic trilogy via The Sonic Classic Collection on DS and this movie really didn't disappoint but didn't make me go soyboy either. I thought the film was fun and had great visuals plus its new portrayals of characters like Tails and Knuckles were pretty solid and finally gave Knuckles some justice after being wasted over the past decade.

Tails was great and I have no idea why he has his current game voice actress but he was. He was best buddies with Sonic, creating his own gadgets and being cowardly at first but overcoming his fears and it was a great portrayal and he was kawaii. Knuckles was okay in this film but I really disliked his deep voice and how he sounded like a text-to-speech bot at times, I've always hated deep voice knuckles and I want Dan Green to return plus Knuckles was a complete moron in this movie and too overly serious. He acted more like Shadow than Knuckles but we'll talk more about that later.

Dr Eggman was a bit of a downgrade in this movie, while Knuckles was too serious Eggman was too silly and was way sillier than he was in the 1st movie and no amount of make up can hide the fact that Jim Carrey is 60 years old but he was still fun to watch also was Agent Stone gay for him? Just wondering.

The movie had a lot more to do with Sonic than the first one with the Master Emerald and the chaos emeralds which were in the master emerald for some reason. The inclusion of super sonic and the Death Egg Robot were great to see and the final battle was fun to observe and can I just say the visual effects and animations in this film is top notch.

I also spotted the Easter eggs, mainly the coffee shop being called "Mean Bean" in reference to the game "Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine", and the sonic adventure pose. And yes I saw the Shadow after credits scene. When the GUN commander said "50 years ago" I just knew it was Shadow and it's like I predicted. They've covered all the iconic stuff from the classic trilogy so now they're jumping to the adventure games.

I wonder how Rouge will be handled if she's in the 3rd movie, I'd be curious to see how they handle her boobies.

Again much like the first it felt like a standard, feels good kids movie but just worth seeing because it's Sonic. Which is pretty evident given the cinema I was in was full of kids who wouldn't shut the fuck up. One kid behind me kept whacking me in the head with his coat so I had to move seats and the fat lady next to me kept laughing at every single unfunny joke.

Overall I'd give Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - 7 sneeds out of 10
