An average movie

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, I didn’t remember much from the previous instalment but I have to admit that this sequel was not bad though. Anyway, I actually grew up with the Sonic games on the Master System and on the Megadrive, in fact, I always enjoyed these games more than the Super Mario games from Nintendo. As a result, it was really cool that they brought up this time such iconic characters like Tails and Knuckles and you have to give it to the makers that they managed to be faithful to the games. Once again, Jim Carrey had also quite a blast playing Dr. Robotnik and he nailed it, even if you might wonder what an actor of his caliber is doing in this franchise. Still, pretty much like the super successful ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’, even if these movies managed to make the most of this material, even if it is fairly entertaining, to be honest, neither the characters or the story were really fascinating though. I wonder if I would like it more if I would have been 12 years old, but, back then, you played the games because they were fun and, without this aspect, it all seems rather silly. I mean, they were some moments where they talking about some intricate mythology and I honestly had no clue what they were talking about. The fact that it was slightly too long probably didn’t help either and I think they could have cut off about 30 mins. Anyway, to conclude, I think it would be probably mostly enjoyable for young kids but I think it was a still decent watch and it is worth a look, especially if you did like its predecessor.
