Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a film written and produced with young audiences in mind. Though, even by those standards many of the jokes are tired and stale.

| Original Score: C | Jul 3, 2024

Sonic 2 doffs its hat to the MCU so often, that every time Sonic uses one of his rings to open a portal, I half-expect Benedict Wong to step out of it.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 10, 2023

Ignoring the terrible wedding scenes the film has some fun set pieces, good CG and good performances all round, with Jim Carrey once again stealing the show. Throw in some fun game references for me to point at and I really enjoyed my time with the film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 26, 2023

Sonic 2 is a complete embrace of its video game upbringing in a fun action packed ride.

Charmingly referencing several videogames in the series, while also delivering on laughs, and a wholesome story, here is a kids movie that is everything I expected in the best possible and predictable way.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 27, 2023

Everything a Sonic fan wants & more! An almost perfect video game movie that will have you laughing, smiling & even getting goosebumps within the final action scene! Knuckles, Tails, & Sonic are PERFECT.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a vastly superior sequel to the first adaptation. Entertainment levels soar tremendously as the action-adventure sequences amaze viewers with praiseworthy animation and visual effects.

| Original Score: B | Jul 25, 2023

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 feels lost. It doesn’t appeal to the new generation of kids or to the adults who grew up playing the video games. The movie is a too-long, unfunny adaptation of the beloved antics of Sonic.

For lack of better trying, the film recycles every aspect of the original movie until the last 15 minutes. However, it gives the impression there's not much that can be done to make it better than this. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 7, 2023

Sonic the Hedgehog is another win for paramount! The are new classic additions in Tails and Knuckles allowing for our believed hero to have real challenges of friendship, family and the sacrifices of heroes. Eggman is amazing - Aka the legend Jim Carey!

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 26, 2022

...a seriously lackluster video-game adaptation that ranks among the worst that the genre has to offer.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 10, 2022

A rehash...but the kids will love it.

| Original Score: B | Nov 8, 2022

Sonic 2 is fresh, fun, and pretention-free entertainment. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 24, 2022

Cinematic dessert for kids. [4K Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 19, 2022

It would be tempting to say that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 represents more of the same except it doesn't, as the few modest strengths of the first film have been surgically excised.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 14, 2022

Just like the games of origin themselves, "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" offers some silly fun with a few surprising twists and turns to keep us engaged, while ultimately being rated E for Everyone.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 9, 2022

Throwing things at the screen like blazes and being well-aware you're doing it doesn't make for an entertaining, average or even passable-enough time at the movies.

| Jun 25, 2022

It's not all bad, though, and fans of the games may still enjoy the homage-filled action sequences.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 23, 2022

a globe-trotting adventure that touches on fun ideas for viewers of all ages, even if the film is too long and jarring to stick the landing.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 22, 2022

One of the best videogame adaptations released to date.
