It isn't as much fun as the little blue guy's greatest games, but if you enjoyed the first film, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 serves as a generally acceptable sequel.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Todd Gilchrist AV Club a globe-trotting adventure that touches on fun ideas for viewers of all ages, even if the film is too long and jarring to stick the landing. Rated: C- Jun 22, 2022 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review Slightly grating, way too long, but not terrible. Apr 15, 2022 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Aparita Bhandari Globe and Mail As long as the Sonic sequels rely on its origins, weaving in aspects of the game into its narrative and keeping pace with the speedy hedgehog, it will appeal to its fan base – young kids and more mature Sega enthusiasts. Apr 13, 2022 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Zach Youngs InSession Film Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a film written and produced with young audiences in mind. Though, even by those standards many of the jokes are tired and stale. Rated: C Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Pradeep Menon Firstpost Sonic 2 doffs its hat to the MCU so often, that every time Sonic uses one of his rings to open a portal, I half-expect Benedict Wong to step out of it. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk Ignoring the terrible wedding scenes the film has some fun set pieces, good CG and good performances all round, with Jim Carrey once again stealing the show. Throw in some fun game references for me to point at and I really enjoyed my time with the film. Rated: 4/5 Aug 26, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
