So, I just finished seeing Sonic the Hedgehog 3 today and inhale, exhale boi! Let me tell you that I am still shaking with excitement after seeing this film! Where do I even start?
Okay, first, the CGI was on point! It looked so detailed, so smooth, so polished! I dare even say the effects were better than the last two movies!
Second, the humor. I had to hold in my laughter because there were points where this movie was drop dead funny! The comedic writing is an A+!
Third, the characters and acting! Of course, Ben Schwartz did a fantastic job as Sonic, Idris Elba nails Knuckles like a champ, and Colleen O'Shaughnessy was adorable as ever as Tails. James Marzden and Tika Sumpter were great as Tom and Maddie, even if they didn't have much screen time (the hologram but with Randal and Rachel was hilarious, btw), Jim Carrey killed it as Dr. Eggman and Prof. Gerald Robotnik, Alyla Browne did an excellent job portraying Maria Robotnik, and of course the star of the show...Keanu Reeves was absolutely good tier as Shadow the Hedgehog! All the actors and voice actors did an amazing job!
Fourth, the story. This movie borrowed heavily from Sonic Adventure 2, even down to playing Live and Learn, but they put their own unique spin on it. For one, Maria was an ordinary girl who didn't suffer from an incurable disease, Shadow actually crash landed on Earth rather than being created by Gerald to save Maria, and the Eclipse Cannon was a separate machine by itself, there was no Space Colony Ark.
But I enjoyed these changes, it gives the movie its own identity separate from the games while still being faithful to them. They really did Shadow's backstory justice, showcasing all the happiness, sadness and anger that came from being with and then losing Maria.
In fact, this movie gets pretty dark in some places. From Maria's demise to Tom nearly getting killed to Gerald's ultimate plan to wipe out humanity...it was so suspenseful, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. But even so, the story had a great deal of action, adventure, comedy and heart, with a great moral about not letting oneself be overcome by anger and hatred, and to always make the right choices.
Lastly, that post credits scene! I had to contain myself from screaming because first Metal Sonic showed up and then we got AMY FREAKING ROSE! If this is an indicator that we're getting a fourth movie, I am all in! We're getting Amy Rose? Go the whole nine yards! Give us, Rouge, Silver, Omega, freaking Mephiles! Just create a Sonic the Hedgehog cinematic universe, Paramount!
In conclusion, I enjoyed myself. Two years was definitely worth the wait to see this movie. 10/10, what a great time to be a Sonic fan! God bless Paramount, Sega and our beloved blue blur hero! Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
