Loved the first. Looking forward to the Real Robotnik to do his dirt. I know many will disagree, but I think Jim Carry was cast perfectly for this role.

First movie is legit entertaining and downright funny at times. Best thing Sonic has been attached to in decades.
It's weird to actually look forward to a Sonic movie, lol.

It depends on what you expect.
Do you expect a kids movie regarding a Super fast Blue Hedgehog and Jim Carrie. Then it's great. Otherwise it might feel a bit stupid and juvenile.

Its not on the same level of recent Disney movies and Disney wannabe movies though. Its pretty tame in most of its humor.

First movie used both names actually. Sonic liked to call humans food-based nicknames. Take a wild guess what he calls Robotnik.
On the games question. The man's real name is still Robotnik lore-wise, so Sega can use the name all it wants any moment they wish so (and they did an handful of times after the Dreamcast actually)
Now if they are going back to the brainchild of American manual writers full time instead of the actual Sonic Team creation, seems unlikey. Your hope is that the movie lessens SOJ grip on the issue.
This old fart personally likes Eggman too actually. There's a reason the original design makes him look like an Walrus, i dig that kind of artistic sensibilities more than the "toy comercial" mentality in american 90s marketing. But i'm very well aware that's a very rare opinion.

Saw it today with my nephew ( 7 years old) and he had so much fun!
overall he would say 10/10 but he hated the Human parts of the movie
I would give that movie a solid 7,5/10
btw. there is one joke in which i found pretty out of place!?

Paramount reportedly ‘delighted’ as Sonic 2 movie tops overseas markets | VGC
The sequel is reportedly 2% up on its predecessor, with the US opening coming later this week…
www.videogameschronicle.com
Sonic 2 opened in Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand this weekend and grossed $25.5 million from 31 markets, according to Deadline. The movie isn’t set to debut in North America until Friday, April 8.
The markets reportedly represent around half of the movie’s overseas footprint, and Paramount is said to be “delighted” with the results, which are 2% above the original movie in like-for-likes.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was No. 1 in markets such as the UK ($6.4M), France ($5.7M), Australia ($2.8M), Spain ($2.2M/339) and Germany ($2.1M/). Sweden, Czech Republic, Austria, Norway, Belgium, New Zealand, Slovakia and South Africa all also saw No. 1 starts.

As a sonic fan, it was great. Saying that, the dance scene and wedding scene were too long and broke the pace of the movie. Also, this one is more kiddy than the first, which i assume is why it scored a little lower and does for me.
Jim carrey is more crazy this time, which also adds to the kiddiness. His character doesnt take himself too seriously in the last act, which i found kind of ruined the conclusion. Otherwise, killer cgi, story is good and plenty of good action... and knuckles is the fucking bomb.
Fix my gripes, its a 10/10. Otherwise as it is, 7/10.

Saw it a week ago, it was cool.
It feels different compared to the first movie, because this was more of an adventure movie; the first one had more of a buddy comedy vibe.

The human stuff just sucked which is why I expect this new one to be much better

I think Jim Carey lift the movie a lot to me. Still, will watch the second one regardless just in respect to this iconic figure in gaming and for all the old memories.

Better than the first film, I didn’t mind the wedding stuff as they just condensed all the human plots together into a 20 minute segment rather than have them tag along with Sonic the entire movie.
CGI on the egg man stuff was surprisingly top notch, the robot looked absolutely awesome.
The script was very kiddie, I’m young but felt like I was in the wrong place and watching a child’s movie a few times, it went a bit too close to Alvin and the chipmunks joke territory, but the videogame references saved it for me, you can tell the writers cared.
Gotta go fast being used in context was ballsy

Weekend Box Office: ‘Sonic 2’ Races To Record $71 Million Debut
With good reviews, strong word-of-mouth and a lack of kid-friendly options, 'Sonic the Hedgehog 2' could be the first video game movie to pass $200 million domestic.
www.forbes.com
71 million opening weekend projection. It got an A Cinemascore and 98% fan rating on rottentomatoes. Sonic 2 may have enough legs to beat Warcraft which did about 339 million worldwide.
I thought this was better than the first movie. Looking forward to the third movie and the Knuckles show.

This movie pulled a godzilla king of the monsters for me (in a good way), By focusing on the titular character, it felt like a much more faithful adaptation of the franchise.
The action scenes were fun, Jim Carrey was, once again, excellent as Robotnik, Knuckles and Tails were amazing addition, there was plenty of easter eggs and the climax and post credits scene made me fanout so damn hard
Easily better than the first and possibly the best video game movie out there.
