“Sonic 3” Movie Review

Kevin says SONIC 3 kinda rocks!
The third installment of SONIC THE HEDGEHOG bolts onto the big screen this week.
SONIC 3 sees a new threat with another super-power-infused alien hedgehog named Shadow, bent on revenge. In an act of desperation, Sonic and his team bring back a worthy adversary to help. But it could backfire.
I may never have played the game or watched the original cartoon, but I certainly understand the appeal here. Like its predecessors, this third installment delivers a sugar-coated Saturday morning cartoon level of energy, and that reached my inner child.
With a cast of CGI characters, the movie is full of brightly-colored digital effects. Plus, pulling Jim Carrey out of retirement allows Sonic, Knuckles and Tails to be less cartoony by comparison.
Sure, the script chases a dozen clichés, juggles MacGuffins, and is loaded with corny dialogue, but that’s what people want from a movie like this.
Kids will love this. Adults who played or watched SONIC as kids will love this. And if you’re older than that, just give into the chaos.
SONIC 3 gets three and a half chili dogs out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
