Sonic Movie 3: Spoiler Review

Let me first talk about the characters, starting off with the human characters, to get them outta the way. The only human characters that were seen throughout the entire movie were Tom and Maddie, the GUN director (I forgot her name), Walters and Eggman (played once more by Jim Carrey), alongside Stone and now Gerald Robotnik (who is also played by Jim Carrey). Each of these characters serve a purpose in the movie. Oh, and real quick, Gerald being evil like his nephew, albeit more genocidal, is a nice twist, alongside Eggman sacrificing himself to save the world while being thankful to Stone for his efforts, in his own hilarious way, of course. Anyways, Tom is who helps Sonic learn that as long as Sonic follows his heart, he'll learn to make the right choices, and Maddie was also there for support. The GUN director and the rest of GUN were more antagonistic this time around, believing that Team Sonic killed Walters (who actually gave Sonic and his friends info about Shadow and tried to stop GUN's attempts to murder Maria 50 years ago (we'll get to that later) and trusted Sonic with one of the keys to the Eclipse Cannon.) and was responsible for Maria's death (again, we'll get to that later).

For the remaining characters, the real stars of the show, lets start with Sonic the Hedgehog himself. He's his usual self, but now has to learn about how to make the right choices, especially when up against Shadow, one of the new characters in the movie. He's even living out similar tragedies that made Shadow who he was, like nearly losing Tom (Shadow wounded him gravely thinking he was Walters, btw), and being consumed by anger like him. It was only after Shadow admitted defeat and allowed him to deal the final blow that snapped Sonic out of his rage and need for revenge that helped him realize that anger and vengeance, telling Shadow that their love for the people they have lost is more important than revenge. Speaking of Shadow, he's done wonderfully here, from him probably being more expressive then the games' Shadow, and him being voiced by Kenaveu Reeves (sorry if I misspelt it) was phenomenal.

Now, I've seen some people complain that Sonic learned this lesson before, and while I understand why with stuff about Tails and Knuckles, I honestly don't know why. I know that sounds dumb, but I honestly don't know why people would think that.

As for the rest, the story uses a few clichês and perdictable outcomes, yet because of what it's trying to tell with Sonic, it actually makes sense and eventually works. The animation and CGI works exactly like back at the previous movies, especially when they show off the Super scene of Super Sonic and Shadow. The movie, like back at Sonic 2, touched more on the game elements speciffically of Sonic Adventure 2 (even though it leaves out things like the Biolizard); GUN, Super Shadow, Shadow's backstory, the reference to Omega from the clones Super Sonic and Shadow fight, Shadow's sacrifice and two characters that show up in the post-credits scene (before it is revealed that Shadow survived his self-sacrifice), those being Metal Sonic (alongside some clones of him) and Amy Rose.

Overall, Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie 3 is an excellent movie, one that makes what fans are calling a good video game movie trilogy. It's for all Sonic fans and newcomers to the franchise to watch.
