Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)

‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’ Provides Familiar, Frenetic Family Fun and Double the Jim Carrey. The new movie about the swift blue creature is once again directed by Jeff Fowler and features Ben Schwartz voicing the title character. The ‘Sonic’ movies by this point are certainly a known quantity. You have Ben Schwartz providing chatty energy as the lead character.

Solid support from the likes of Idris Elba and Colleen O’Shaughnessey as fellow video game-birthed characters Knuckles and Tails respectively (since this is a franchise that employs the strategy of hoovering up characters from previous installments and turning rivals into family). Lots of silly gags. Jim Carrey snacking on the scenery in pure pantomime fashion.
