Sonic 2 improves on the first one in every way, while still setting up a sequel that could be even better!
The story line was really good. It had a lot of ambition to it, and the pacing was really good as well. Sonic and Tails' friendship was well written as well. Knuckles was how I envisioned him, not the smartest, but not the dumbest either! Sonic becoming Super Sonic at the end was a dream come true. So glad the Chaos Emeralds have arrived!!
The acting and voice acting was outstanding. Jim Carrey once again stole the show as Dr. Robotnik/Dr. Eggman. Ben Schwartz was still great as Sonic. Colleen O'Shaughnessey has not lost her charm as Tails either. While Idris Elba was not my ideal choice for Knuckles, he exceeded my expectations!
The action scenes were outstanding. Sonic's battles against Knuckles, and Dr. Eggman were so outstanding. Loved every second of them!
In terms of a sequel, the end credits scene told me everything I need to know! Shadow the Hedgehog will arrive in the next one! So many possible routes they can take with this. G.U.N. was in the movie also, which tells me that Dr. Eggman's grandfather, Dr. Gerald Robotnik, and Maria will be in it as well, via flashbacks!! I really hope that Jim Carrey will return as Dr. Robotnik. He is very important to the arrival of Shadow the Hedgehog! I also hope that Amy and Rouge will show up as well!
On a quick note. One spinoff I would love to see would be a show about Espio, Vector, Mighty, Charmy Bee, and Ray being detectives. It would be so funny watching them try and work together to try and solve cases!
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
