Sonic the Hedgehog 2 by Jeff Fowler (2022)
I can honestly say that the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie, from 2020, was better than I expected. Granted, I went in with pretty low expectations, but it had just the right amount of lunacy, thanks to the overall premise as well as Jim Carrey’s performance as Dr. Robotnik, to be enjoyable. I wasn’t expecting much more from the sequel, which finds Robotnik returning to Earth with the help of the echidna warrior Knuckles to find a magic jewel that will let him rule the universe. Unfortunately, the schtick didn’t work quite as well this time around, even though the film ticked many of the same boxes as the first Sonic film. That said, I did enjoy Idris Elba’s performance as the always serious Knuckles.
