Paramount now finds itself with its first “new” successful IP franchise in a generation. Me? I just want to see Sonic 3 with a “brave and the bold” subplot involving Rachel teaming up with Idris Elba’s “What if the Winter Soldier talked like Star Fire from Teen Titans Go! and was also an idiot?” version of Knuckles. Unlike Morbius, fans are laughing with, not at, the film’s mid-credits sequel tease. Like Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, Rampage and Detective Pikachu, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a very good version of what it wishes to be.
Moreover, it’s nice that these films can be three-star big(ish) budget fantasy adventures without everyone online tearing each other to shreds over whether they should be considered high art or Oscar-worthy. However, video game-based movies are now as likely to be pretty good as not.
That’s not to say that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is some grand masterpiece of cinema.
