Movie Review: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2...

The theatrical poster for SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2.

I saw the video game flick Sonic the Hedgehog 2 at AMC theaters earlier today, and it was just as enjoyable as the 2020 original. Though the sequel somewhat goes off on a tangent in the second act during a scene in Hawaii that features Shemar Moore (from the CBS TV series S.W.A.T.) and Natasha Rothwell (of the HBO show Insecure) as an engaged couple that came close to tying the knot had a blue alien hedgehog not make a sudden appearance and ruin the ceremony.

Jim Carrey was even more maniacal as Dr. Robotnik in Sonic 2, while it was great to see James Marsden and Tika Sumpter return as the surrogate parents of Sonic (once again voiced by Ben Schwartz) in this film. Idris Elba does the voice of Knuckles, while Colleen O'Shaughnessey voiced Sonic's newest sidekick, Tails, respectively.

I never played Sonic the Hedgehog video games when I was young (though I really wanted a Sega Genesis console when I was in 6th grade), but I'll assume that—SPOILERS AHEAD—Sonic using the Infinity Stones to become a Super Saiyan as a way to save the day actually occurred in one of games.

Yep, I made an Avengers and Dragon Ball Z reference above. That is all.
