Sonic 3 - Reviews
18 Dec 2024 By Eva Araújo (Web correspondent)
We can't say, we're surprise. Rotten Tomatoes gave Sonic 3 a 87% fresh score rating. All previous "Sonic the Hedgehog" movies have been consistent in both entertainment and fun so we're very happy with that.
Contrary to us - who still need to wait to see the movie (some a day, others a week) - critics and the media have already seen the third installment of the Sonic movie franchise. And the majority of the reviews, are very positive!
Many praise the cast, especially Jim Carrey who does two roles in this movie.
Here's what they had to say about the movie:
"After three entries, Paramount's Sonic series hasn't lost any steam, and this might be the best one overall."
- Marc Deschamps, ComicBook.com
"Third time is the charm for the franchise, which finally hits its stride with a more fleet adventure for Team Sonic."
- A.A. Dowd, IGN Movies
"The best experience for fans yet."
- Cole Groth, FandomWire
"Sonic the Hedgehog 3 continues to defy video game franchise expectations by being better in every way than the previous blockbuster installments."
- Julian Roman, Movieweb
"[Video game movies] tend to be overproduced and lugubrious. But Sonic 3 gives hyperactivity a good name."
- Owen Gleiberman, Variety
"The action sequences are incredible and intense, leaving viewers clinging to the edge of their seats."
- Tessa Smith, Mama's Geeky
"The action is a slight step up from the previous films."
- Daniel Howat, Next Best Picture
"Shadow's introduction raises the action bar for every scene to come. It's that impressive."
- Julian Roman, Movieweb
"The visuals are excellent, and it's easy to forget that you're watching humans interact with CGI creatures."
- Jonathan Sim, ComingSoon.net
"Jeff Fowler delivers his most eye-catching installment, reuniting with Sonic 2 cinematographer Brandon Trost to craft a sci-fi spectacle with some dynamic set pieces."
- Tim Grierson, Screen International
"The CGI continues to impress… Sonic 3 delivers the most impressive visuals of the series yet, with the final third feeling particularly at home on the big screen."
- Jack Shepherd, Total Film
These are the reviews about Jim Carrey specifically:
"Weird, wild, and utterly brilliant… His enthusiasm is infectious, lifting every scene; like the other two Sonic movies, this one belongs to Carrey."
- Jack Shepherd, Total Film
"Jim Carrey will have audiences roaring with laughter in an absolutely brilliant double performance that further cements his comedic genius."
- Julian Roman, Movieweb
"Jim Carrey gets to give an epic performance, topping everything he's done in these movies."
- Owen Gleiberman, Variety
"As it turns out, two of him are better than one."
- A.A. Dowd, IGN Movies
"Most of the time, Carrey is off to the side, performing a gloriously deranged one-man, two-character musical."
- Jesse Hassenger, Polygon
"The introduction of Dr. Robotnik's grandfather, also hilariously played by Jim Carrey, is where the film goes from being more of the same to something genuinely fantastic."
- Cole Groth, FandomWire
"Without him, this film could have been a lot, lot worse."
- Andrew Pulver, The Guardian
"Carrey is such a talented actor, it seems a shame he is stuck having to rev up even more manic energy to play Dr. Robotnik, which he does to the hilt while throwing off a series of break-the-fourth-wall pop culture references in the process."
- Pete Hammond, Deadline
