The first reactions for Sonic The Hedgehog 2 have started to roll in, and it seems the unlikely sequel has managed to improve on its predecessor in every way.
Few could have predicted that 2020's Sonic The Hedgehog would have been the success it was, especially after the controversy surrounding the titular character's horrific design and subsequent redesign. And yet, the blue blur's big screen debut was a colourful, lighthearted explosion of fun that offered a good game for parents and kids alike. It certainly wasn't Citizen Kane, but it did enough to warrant a sequel.
Take a look at the trailer for Sonic The Hedgehog 2 below!
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 looks set to dial up the fan service a few more notches, introducing characters like Knuckles and Tails, and giving Jim Carrey's Robotnik a look much closer to the video games. Whether this alienates the more casual viewers remains to be seen, but a wave of early reactions suggest this is a sequel with lots to love.
Take a look below!
Ben Schwartz nails it as #Sonic yet again. Idris Elba absolutely crushes it as #Knuckles. Colleen O'Shaughnessey does an incredible job bringing #Tails to the big screen. I can not wait to see more of them in the future! #SonicMovie2 pic.twitter.com/lTVQAtUsfL

#SonicMovie2 is EVERYTHING I wanted filled with moments I didn't know I was allowed to ask for. It makes the first #Sonic look like child's play. I witnessed children & adult collectively losing their minds. Overall, it made my heart smile, and I can't wait for the sequel. pic.twitter.com/bFrxRbyRAi

Just saw #SonicTheHedgehog 2 and it's a love letter to video game lovers. Had a ton of fun with it. Unlike a lot of blockbusters the 3rd act is bananas and the strongest of the film. @JimCarrey reigns supreme. #Sonic @sonic_hedgehog pic.twitter.com/vlEckpuhgl

Good news! #SonicMovie2 is A LOT of fun - a much bigger, more action-driven film than the first Sonic w/ great jokes & plenty for longtime fans. Jim Carrey is next-level maniacal as Robotnik, but for me it's all Sonic, Tails & Knuckles. That trio delivers a TON of heart & humor pic.twitter.com/agkgQ1kwFV

It's worth noting that early reactions always tend to lean a little more towards the positive by their very nature, and you should definitely wait for the final reviews to drop if you're unsure about this one. With that said, it's Sonic The Hedgehog 2. I think at this point you've long since made your mind up whether or not you're going to the cinema to see it, right?
