The first reactions for the upcoming Sonic The Hedgehog 3 movie are very positive. It sounds like SEGA and Paramount Pictures have yet another winner on their hands and all the more impressive for the third entry in a video game movie franchise.
The first reactions for Sonic The Hedgehog 3 recently appeared on social media ahead of the movie’s review embargo. From the early buzz, it seems like this might be the best Sonic movie yet, filled with heart, emotional moments and dazzling action. “Sonic 3 rules,” wrote journalist Gene Park. “It’s the closest Hollywood has made to a Dragon Ball movie. There was plenty for a longtime fan to clap and cheer for, which I did in a mostly empty theatre, and outside of a few expected cringe jokes, this was a hilarious story.”
“Surprising no one… Sonic Movie 3 is the best Sonic yet! It’s also the best video game adaptation to date. With electrifying action, truly touching moments, and Jim Carrey doing what he does best, Sonic 3 marks a wonderfully chaotic end to the year. What an utter blast!” said James Lister from Get Your Comic On.
Chris Killian from ComicBook.com had enthusiastic things to say about the movie too:
“It’s not often that each movie gets better in a trilogy, but Sonic Movie 3 is the best of the bunch. There’s action-packed goofiness a plenty thanks to Jim Carrey pulling double duty, but what I didn’t expect was a surprisingly moving performance from Keanu Reeves and a third act that might make Sonic fans a little weepy-eyed. Also – there are two big post credits scenes so AVOID SPOILERS. It’s clear [Fowler] and crew have a great affinity for the Blue Blur and he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.”
Sonic The Hedgehog 3 releases in South African cinemas on 27 December 2024. See what else is coming to cinemas nationwide this month.
