Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) 
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 builds upon the fun and adventure of its predecessor, delivering an action-packed sequel filled with humor, heart, and nostalgia for longtime fans. This time, Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz) faces a new challenge as Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) returns with a powerful ally—Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Idris Elba). Fortunately, Sonic isn’t alone, as his loyal sidekick Tails (Colleen O’Shaughnessey) joins the fight.
The film expands the Sonic universe, introducing fan-favorite characters and diving deeper into Sonic’s origins. Knuckles is a standout addition, with his warrior-like personality and comedic misunderstandings providing both tension and laughs. Tails, on the other hand, perfectly captures the sidekick dynamic from the games, adding warmth and charm to the story.
Jim Carrey once again steals the show as Dr. Robotnik, embracing his over-the-top villainous persona with wild energy and hilarious antics. His performance, combined with impressive CGI and fast-paced action sequences, keeps the film engaging from start to finish. The final showdown, featuring the Chaos Emeralds and Super Sonic, is a thrilling moment that fans of the games will love.
While the humor occasionally leans too much toward younger audiences, and some side plots feel unnecessary, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 remains an exciting and heartfelt adventure. It successfully balances nostalgia with fresh storytelling, making it a fun ride for both longtime Sonic fans and new viewers.
