Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Early Reactions Praise Fun & Action-Packed Sequel

screenrant.com:

The first Sonic the Hedgehog 2 early reactions have surfaced online as audiences praise the action-packed sequel. Paramount launched the Sonic the Hedgehog movie franchise in 2020, as the family-friendly video game movie was one of the last hits before COVID-19 shut down theaters. It received mostly positive reviews, earned over $300 million at the box office, and set up a Sonic sequel that would be more faithful to the games. Paramount unsurprisingly greenlit Sonic the Hedgehog 2 shortly thereafter, which brings Ben Schwartz back as the voice of Sonic and Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik.

Excitement has continued to grow for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 over time, as the movie's trailers have teased the bigger story at play. The sequel sees Sonic expand his efforts to protect people and eventually team up with Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessey) after his appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog's post-credits scene. They work together to stop Dr. Robotnik's latest attack, which is aided by his new sidekick, Knuckles (Idris Elba). Previous Sonic the Hedgehog 2 trailers have repeatedly hyped up the clash that ensues, and how many elements from the original video games the sequel movie includes.
