Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Review

Spoilers ahead!!!

Sonic's 3rd film wraps up the first trilogy in a great way, while setting the stage for a new trilogy that could be even better!

The film's story line went about the way that I expected it to go! Loved the characterization that they gave Shadow, and how you really felt for him, and understood why he went the way that he did! Loved the heartfelt moments that the film had as well! They had a lot of really good character payoffs as well! 

The acting was really good! Jim Carrey stole the show with his portrayal of both Dr. Robotniks. Keanu Reeves was perfectly cast as Shadow the Hedgehog, I mean it was too obvious of a casting choice. All the other actors did their job well, but Jim Carrey and Keanu Reeves definitely stole the show as their respective characters.

The action scenes were so good! Loved that they played, "Live & Learn" towards the end! That was the big huge payoff! I also liked that they showed how powerful Sonic can really be! Shadow's Super Form looked amazingly perfect as well!

I did have a complaint though, I wish the film was a little bit longer, so that they could flesh out a few more scenes. But that is about it! It is still the best of the trilogy (I re watched the first two films and changed my score for those from a 4 to a 3.5 for the first and second movie).

The post credits scenes were so good! Loved the arrival of Metal Sonic and Amy! I am really hoping that Natalie Portman is the voice actress for Amy. I am very curious as to who created Metal Sonic, hope it is a good reveal! The fourth film is going to be so good, and I am very excited to see what kind of direction the franchise takes.

Shadow is definitely getting his own movie! The film would be a massive success, if written right!

I doubt we have seen the last of Dr. Eggman as well. Jim Carrey plays that role way too well! He will return in the 5th or 6th film, or in the post credits scenes of the 4th film IMO.

Out of 4 stars I would give it...

3.5 out of 4 stars
