The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised its action sequences, performances (particularly Marsden and Carrey's), visual effects, and Sonic’s redesign and charm, but criticized its screenplay and product placement.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was released in 2022, while Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is scheduled for 2024. A spin-off miniseries starring Knuckles is in development.
MIX UP REVIEWS:
Magnus (Age 12) - ★★★★
"It was okay, Eggman was kinda funny but they spoiled most of the movie in the trailer and for some reason Sonic flossed in this movie AND in the second movie, but it was still one of the better video game movies so I gave it 4 stars, I still kinda prefer the Mario movie."
