Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Ratings & Reviews
- turbob24March 22, 2026All good fun, great action, cgi is on point, great entertainment, Idris Elba is great as the deadpan Knuckles... But.... It just isn't as funny or touching as the 1st. Still very entertaining, I even liked Jim Carrey.
- ragin69March 17, 2026I love all the Sonic movies
- Pokit the phoxMarch 5, 2026Super fun watch for any fan of the sonic games! LOTS of Easter eggs and funny moments. 4 foxy tail wags.
- Manuel FrangisMarch 19, 2025I just watched Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and it is an easy 5 out of 5 stars for me. This movie is exactly what a video game adaptation should be. It is fast paced packed with action and loaded with fan service that makes it even more fun to watch. If you liked the first movie this one takes everything to the next level and delivers even more of what made the original great. From the very start the movie throws you right into the action. Sonic is back trying to figure out his place in the world while still being the same energetic and fun loving hero we saw in the first film. The addition of Tails and Knuckles makes everything even better bringing in new dynamics that feel straight out of the games. The chemistry between the characters is fantastic and it makes the movie even more fun to watch. Ben Schwartz once again nails it as Sonic. His voice work captures Sonic’s confidence humor and excitement perfectly. Colleen O’Shaughnessey as Tails is another great choice bringing the same charm she has in the games. But the real standout is Idris Elba as Knuckles. He plays the character with a mix of strength seriousness and just the right amount of humor making Knuckles feel both intimidating and hilarious at the same time. And then there is Jim Carrey as Dr Robotnik. He is even more over the top than he was in the first movie and it works perfectly. Every scene he is in is packed with ridiculous energy insane facial expressions and non stop jokes. You can tell Carrey is having a blast in this role and it makes Robotnik one of the most entertaining villains in any video game movie. The action is bigger and better this time around. The fight scenes feel like they were pulled straight from the games with high speed chases gravity defying battles and some seriously cool visuals. The CGI is impressive making Sonic Tails and Knuckles look even better than in the first film. Every action sequence is full of energy and the way Sonic moves feels exactly like how he should in live action. The humor is also on point. The movie is packed with jokes that will make both kids and longtime Sonic fans laugh. There are plenty of references to the games and some really clever moments that keep things entertaining. Unlike a lot of video game movies that try to take themselves too seriously this one knows exactly what it is and leans into the fun. Another thing this movie does well is balancing the action and comedy with some real heart. At its core this is a story about friendship teamwork and finding where you belong. Sonic’s relationships with both Tails and Knuckles bring a lot of emotional moments that help make the characters feel real. It is not just about flashy action scenes there is actually a solid story underneath it all. The pacing is great with no slow moments dragging the story down. It keeps moving forward always bringing something new to the table whether it is a cool action sequence a funny moment or a major reveal that will make Sonic fans lose their minds. This is exactly what a Sonic movie should be. It is fast fun and full of great moments. Whether you are a longtime Sonic fan or just looking for a great action packed family movie this one delivers. I loved every minute of it and I cannot wait to see what they do next.
- mickerdooJanuary 22, 2026Lighthearted fun. An easy family watch with some cool character action and Carrey as the goofy evil bad guy.
- jackmeatMarch 14, 2025My quick rating - 6.4/10. Time for a Mother's Day family flick since we all enjoyed the first one surprisingly more than expected.
- James SaenzNovember 20, 2025finished the board game during this movie. brother’s lack of admiration is concerning. i will need to make him rewatch this holy sonic gospel at a later time with his full attention.
- Erin SilverioSeptember 4, 2025Really fun movie! Obviously aimed towards kids but Sonic fans will love this one
- Nobody0007May 4, 2025Everyone in the family loves this movie, I must have seen it 10+ times and I still enjoy it. Carey kills it as Eggman.
- jaxonbrand599July 16, 2025Wow, great step up from sonic 1 beautiful still doesnt deserve the five star tho
- gas station pump lighterApril 26, 2025i remember watching this in my 5th grade class
- HumptyFebruary 20, 2025Super Sonic
- Kevin WardJuly 14, 2025They understood the assignment. Add some favorite Sonic characters. More Jim Carrey. And a pretty great final act that incorporates plenty of fun stuff from the classic Sonic games. A couple negatives are that the humor isn’t quite as funny as I remember the first one being. And there’s a fairly long section in the middle surrounding some of the live action characters that should have been dropped from this movie altogether. I like Jim Carrey, James Marsden and Tika Sumpter and their roles in the film, but the rest of the story should really focus on the animated characters. Aside from those couple negatives, this is pretty much exactly what I would hope for in a sequel and I’m totally down for whatever they have in store for the third, which gets a pretty good post credit tease here. Plus my kids really liked it and bonus points for the Seattle setting. (Ooooh, I get it. The Emerald City 👏🏻👏🏻)
- Lucas MagretaJuly 3, 2025a great sequel to the great sonic the hedchog. knuckles was a really good villain but robotnick was beter. the master emerald storyline was really good
- DaveJune 27, 2025I enjoyed this movie but not as much as the first. I think it missed the mark on continuing to foster the relationships Sonic previously had while expanding his family. That being said I did enjoy it and will watch again.
