Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Out Runs All Other Films Of 2024

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Out Runs All Other Films Of 2024
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Gotta go fast to the big screen!

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 just recently released in theaters on December 20th, 2024. The series is currently a trilogy, this being  the latest movie to be released. However, it won’t stay a trilogy, as more movies are in the making. 

From the beginning, the Sonic movies have been talked about all over social media platforms because of the popular opinion that game-to-movie adaptations often bad

 The first Sonic movie, which was released on February 14, 2020, did not receive high expectations before its release because of the original Sonic design that was made exclusively for this film franchise. The first released movie trailer for this film had Sonic in his original design, which was not accurate to how he is portrayed in games and shows; Sonic fans did not like this. Because of the backlash, Sonic’s design was improved which drastically changed the value and popularity of the movie. 

The first movie focuses on Sonic’s background before arriving on Earth, and his life years after. Originally, Sonic was in hiding to avoid the government’s captivity, but unintentionally revealed his powers in a small town: Green Hills. His extraordinary superpowers gained the attention of a mad scientist, Dr. Robotnik,  who is the main antagonist in the films. Sonic later formed an alliance with a sheriff from the small town to prevent Dr. Robotnik’s plans. 

Once the film ends there is an end credit scene which reveals who is going to be shown in the second movie, the characters introduced being Knuckles and Tails, both important in the Sonic timeline. 

On April 8th, 2022, The second Sonic movie was released which introduces Knuckles and Tails. Knuckles was at first one of the antagonists, though later formed an alliance with Tails and Sonic to defeat Dr. Robotnik. 

The end credits for the second movie revealed that Shadow would be the new character for the recently released movie.

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 mainly focuses on Shadow’s backstory and his character development. A majority of the film consists of him being with the antagonists but later switching sides. 

I really enjoyed the film, so much so that I went to see it in theaters twice. Out of the 3 movies this one might be my favorite because of the storyline. Although many people thought that the jokes weren’t that funny and were jokes targeted towards kids, I thought it was pretty funny. 

I believe that the reason this movie turned out as good as it did is because of Jim Carrey. The script was essentially written around Jim Carrey, Co-Writer Pat Casey wanted to present a script to Jim that he couldn’t possibly turn down. 

To describe this film in two words, “absolute cinema.”
