‘Sonic The Hedgehog 3’ Review: It Is Jim Carrey Times Two In Frenetic Sequel To Video Game Turned Hit Movie Franchise


A review of 'Sonic The Hedgehog 3' with Jim Carrey taking on two roles in this one as Sonic and team must fight a new evil adversary to save the world

In the case of this overly caffeinated edition of a successful franchise determined to bring a new movie every two years – or so it seems after the 2020 and 2022 entries – you might kind of wish they slowed it down a bit and cooled the emphasis this time around on Jim Carrey ‘s manic and evil Dr. Ivo Robotnik. However the evil side is quickly reawakened when grandpa Gerald (played by Carrey with an impressive three hour makeup transformantion) who also had spent 50 years in prison for helping Shadow, now is bringing the fearsome Hedgehog, who feels his life was unfairly ruined, back to business as they must get the key to the ultimate weapon of destruction that Sonic was given by a dying man, and then break into G.U.N. Joining the operation eventually are Tom and Maddie who travel to London with the team, but find themselves in too deep against Shadow and the Robotnik duo all around the globe including some action in Japan and later the big finale in outer space.
