Do you remember in 2019 when the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog came out, and Sonic had realistic eyelids and teeth? Look at how far they’ve come. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a franchise high. Like before, some humour doesn't land, but I'd still call the movie funny, thanks in part to Jim Carrey's dual performance. However, the shocking part? This movie made me cry. The film offers an oddly sincere and mature approach to grief and choosing love over despair. The writers of these movies clearly care about the characters, and it paid off this time in surprising ways.

I really wish movie studios didn’t think that children only want butt jokes and TikTok dances. The end of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 proves it is more than capable of being fun, action packed, and heartfelt, especially when Sonic and Shadow (Ben Schwartz and Keanu Reeves, respectively) interact. Their fights are fantastic and resolved with great themes, but that was only 15 percent of the film. The rest is Jim Carrey, Idris Elba, and Colleen O’Shaugnessey being forced to make Robotnik, Knuckles, and Tails say and do “what the kids are doing today.” Next time, instead of stringing “hip” scenes together, please just make a movie.
