    The right way to rate sonic 2
    Sonic the hedgehog 2 is a great live action video game movie that goes at a fast but good pace in terms of storytelling, it delivers a lot of action and way better then the first one , sonic the hedgehog 1. It gives us lots of characters. From the games we even see super sonic and shadow towards the end which is great along with a great list of soundtracks sonic 2 is the closest thing I've ever seen to a perfect movie, honestly the perfect movie doesn't exist but this movie is just so else, with everything nearly any age can enjoy, it's got good quotes and a really great film it's even in my opinion the #1 movie , but overall it's amazing and I can't wait for sonic 3.

    Junk
    Jim Carrey in the already boring image of Jim Carrey with his antics, from which it smells from a mile away that his character will be a moron and a loser, which is what Eggman was portrayed as. Sonic is also kind of a jerk, everything he says is about nothing and nowhere. It's not interesting, not funny, not witty, not cool at all. 95% of the Sonic movie isn't about Sonic at all. What is it about? About the drama of an interracial couple, about a girl of a certain color, about her same friends/nieces, I can't believe people ate this up like a Sonic movie, a movie with LESS THAN A THIRD OF THE FILM'S ACTION. Just think about it: a film about a hedgehog who runs at the speed of light and who fights with a strong warrior-echidna and a robotics genius, a film where LESS THAN A THIRD OF THE ACTION IS ACTION, and the rest is chatter, drama and showdowns between the most boring interracial couple in the Galaxy . In the third part, let this wife rushes at the speed of light, then the film will be logical and complete. In the meantime, surprisingly, it is Sonic and all the characters associated with him that are least appropriate in a film about Sonic. Rating - 1/5.

    A game adaptation that's on par with the original
    This Movie is on par with the original. The character's are just as good, the visuals got a slight upgrade and there are a few rememberable moments. Although there were somethings that made me give it the same rating as the first one. I'm not going to name them all BTW. The wedding drama scenes could've been cut from the entire movie and nothing would've changed, like the 3 minutes after sonic arrives at the wedding and the 3 minutes of Rachael confronting Randy is just 6 minutes of filler and should've been cut. I also wished that Tom/Donut Lord and Maddie/Pretzel Lady would have more of a prominent role. But aside from those things this was a solid sequel that's on par with the original

    Verdict: 8/10.

    Get rid of the humans already.
    The high points are that they got Colleen O'shaughnessey (the original voice actress for tails). She did awesome. Idris Elba also did great as Knuckles. There's also plenty of Easter eggs to old people like me who grew up on the Genesis games.

    Unfortunately, that's about all the positives. This movie is VERY geared towards kids. Most of the humor is pretty crummy for adults to think it's funny. Also, and I hate to say it, but Jim Carrey felt downgraded in this movie. The writing was very cliche a d cookie cutter.

    Finally, we don't need real people in the Sonic movies. They're a distraction from what we all want to see- Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Dr Robotnik. The movie is almost two hours and almost every scene with sonic's "family" (ugh) can easily be skipped over without losing any of the plot. There's also some scenes like the dance off which are stupid and just more filler. Enough already.

    Even Worse Than The First One
    The first movie was terrible but i hoped that this sequel would be better. It wasn't. In fact it was worse. Way WAY WAY worse! The acting, dialogue, story and action are all equally stupid, predictable, annoying, boring, dumb, awful, terrible, atrocious and trash. What's even happened to hollywood films nowadays? Like the first movie, it was made for one thing; the CASH! I heard the other day that they are making a third one. Well i hope for one thing to happen with this possible third entry: they make it good! AHollywood needs to stop making movies based off video games. I think we are all sick and tired about it.

    Solid Part 2
    For what it's worth, Sonic 2 was a great followup to part 1. Idris was the absolute perfect choice for Knuckles and I love how serious he was. I don't think they really need Sonics "parents" in the film for Part 3. Let's get less of them next time and ,ore of Eggman, Tails and Knuckles. The movie was a little slow and dragged out in a few places but overall, there was a great balance of action as well as humor. You will have to let go of any sense of realism to watch these movies and that's ok with me. They are meant to be fun and nostalgic. That's it. Lighten up and have some fun, okay?

    Extra characters. Honest to G_d I hate these stupid character minimums.
