The first impressions of the Sonic 2 movie are largely positive
The first opinions on the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie have started appearing on social media, and they’re largely positive.
Early screenings have been held for press and influencers ahead of the film’s general release (April 1 in the UK, April 8 in North America), and many have praised the film as a worthy sequel to its 2020 predecessor.
While the full review embargo for the movie hasn’t lifted yet, those who attended screenings have seemingly been given permission to post first impressions on social media.

“Big Sonic fans will feast on all the little references, and DEFINITELY stay for the credits. If the first Sonic is about discovering new family, this one is about the power of friendship. The BFF relationship between Sonic and Tails is super cute and funny, and my favourite part of the film.”
ComicBook.com’s Chris Killian reached a similar conclusion. “Good news,” he tweeted, “Sonic 2 is every bit as fun as the first one and the kids’ll love it. The addition of Tails & Knuckles makes it feel more like Sonic.
“Once again, Jim Carrey is awesome as Robotnik, but this round, some of the other characters get some time to shine too. Also, no spoilers but stay past the credits.”
