Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)


I really have to appreciate that in 2022, a 60-year-old Jim Carrey is still doing the same larger-than-life comedy that I used to love back in the '90s. It's great just to watch him let loose and have fun with the character. There's a lot of collateral nostalgia from this movie, particularly if you grew up in that era. As far as video game adaptations go, this does feel true to its roots. It has the same hyper energy as the games and it's fun in that brain dead way where you don't have to think too much to enjoy it. As far as "plot" is concerned, Sonic is joined by Tails and finds a new foe in Knuckles. The most baffling decision is centering a whole B-plot around the human characters at a wedding in Hawaii that doesn't have much to do with anything.
