The initial reactions to “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” have hit the internet, giving an idea of how it stacks up against the previous installments. The third film in the franchise, based on the Sega games, features Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles teaming up with Dr. Robotnik to battle the new adversary Shadow the Hedgehog. The cast includes returning stars like Jim Carrey and Ben Schwartz, along with newcomers Keanu Reeves and Krysten Ritter.
After its London premiere on December 10, the online reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. Many are hailing it as the best in the trilogy. Viewers praise Jim Carrey’s dual roles, Keanu Reeves’ portrayal of Shadow, and the film’s mix of action, humor, and emotional moments. Some note it feels aimed at young adults while still appealing to younger audiences, and there are mentions of impactful post-credits scenes.
Compared to the first film in 2020, which was lauded for its fast pace and fun, and the 2022 sequel that was seen as a decent follow-up and a step up from the original, “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” seems to have really impressed. It’s already being considered among the top video game adaptations.
With high expectations following the success of the first two movies, “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” appears to have surpassed them, with many deeming it the best entry yet. However, like many game adaptations, it’ll face the challenge of meeting the standards of the beloved source games, likely sparking discussions among fans.
