The blue blur is back, and this time he’s bringing the whole squad—and then some. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the kind of sequel that doesn’t just continue the story; it launches the franchise into even more ambitious, bizarre, and genuinely entertaining territory. It’s a colorful mix of chaotic action, heartfelt character moments, and some of the most gleefully unhinged performances you’ll see in a family film this year. Director Jeff Fowler returns to the helm and shows no signs of slowing down. If anything, he leans into the series' weirdness even harder than before, delivering a film that feels like a sugar rush of nostalgia, 2000s-style action, and cartoonish energy—just with better CGI and more emotional weight. Let’s get the obvious out of the way: Jim Carrey once again steals the show. Not content with simply playing Dr. Ivo Robotnik, Carrey also steps into the role of the villain’s grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik. The dual performance could have been a cheap gimmick, bu...
