High marks go to the crew blending the animated characters with the real world. This is done so seamlessly that it is easy to forget the speedster heroes don’t really exist.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 17, 2025

Between tackling messages about family, grief and healing, and the difficulty of doing the right thing, "Sonic 3" also manages to be a really fun time.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 14, 2025

Carrey is a law unto himself. It's a smidge too long. But the quips are more hit than miss and it all, somehow, works.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2025

The third time's the charm as far as the Sonic franchise goes, although its anthropomorphic characters still pale in comparison to the secret comedic weapon that is Jim Carrey.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 21, 2025

It's too many spinning plates with no way to prevent the inevitable crash. Because we end up exactly where we started.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Feb 21, 2025

I'm the grouch and scrooge here... It all ends with a giant explosion of CG.

| Feb 11, 2025

A whirlwind, vibrant adventure that delivers exactly what its target audience of kids and video game fans would expect.

| Feb 4, 2025

In a landscape continuously riddled with reboots, remakes, and sequels, Sonic 3 stands out. It does that by trusting the viewer while also honoring the decades worth of source material.

| Original Score: A+ | Feb 4, 2025

Carrey exchanging mashed-potato moves and semi-puerile witticisms with himself is a novelty, but it’s not enough to carry an entire picture, especially if you’re old enough to make OG Fire Marshal Bill references.

This took a lot of risks that didn't pay off. The dark tone, the weird comedic beats, and intensity of Shadow made this a pretty jarring viewing experience for my son and I.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 22, 2025

This is a significant step down from the previous two films. I was surprised how uneven the comedy was and how dark in tone the film ended up being.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 22, 2025

Double duty — as Ivo Robotnik, aka Dr. Eggman, and his grayer, more beer-bellied grandpa — means twice the opportunity for Carrey to improvise jokes and play the movie for the silly spectacle that it is.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 18, 2025

It’s safe to say that Sonic fans will love this movie, and if you enjoyed the last two Sonic films, then the third will definitely be worth a watch.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Jan 17, 2025

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the best, most entertaining, crowd-pleasing, and hilarious Sonic film to date. This sequel is a ridiculously fun blue streak of an action comedy. Jim Carrey is having the time of his life as Robotnik.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 17, 2025

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is not exactly great art, but Fowler deserves a lot of credit for competent blockbuster filmmaking. 3 is a major improvement over the first two.

| Jan 15, 2025

For the adults who are going to this, you get a great dual role from Jim Carrey... it reminded me that we don't get to see him enough.

| Original Score: B | Jan 15, 2025

Paying attention to character development, even when the characters are personified balls of blue fur, has paid off for this sequel.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 14, 2025

The action scenes are incredible, with a distinct anime influence that makes great use of the giant cinema screen.

| Original Score: Big Screen Watch | Jan 14, 2025

It is more of the same with the emphasis on more and same... but dialed up.

| Jan 13, 2025

… Sonic 3 concentrates on delivering a solid and focused narrative, full of humor and without empty moments. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 13, 2025
