As a gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the hype for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is palpable and well-deserved judging from the early reviews. Having played the original games and grown up with Dr. Robotnik’s antics, I can confidently say that Jim Carrey’s performance in this movie is nothing short of spectacular. It seems like he’s channeling his old Ace Ventura energy, which is a delight to witness.
On December 16, 2024, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 made its grand premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California. It’s set to hit cinemas nationwide on December 20th. Critics’ opinions about the film have started pouring in, and they’ve been overwhelmingly favorable, earning impressive ratings on both Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 reviews praise Jim Carrey’s Dr. Robotnik
As a diehard Sonic fan, I’m thrilled to share that critics are raving about Sonic 3! ComingSoon’s Jonathan Sim calls it “the best Sonic film we’ve seen so far.” In his glowing review, Sim singled out Jim Carrey’s exceptional performance. “More Carrey, please!” he exclaimed, appreciating the actor’s portrayal of multiple characters. According to Sim, Carrey delivers a top-notch comedic performance that harks back to the classic movies where legendary comedians used makeup to play several roles. Every line he utters is pure gold, and his physical comedy is nothing short of spectacular. His character’s journey becomes something you genuinely care about. Simply put, Carrey steals the show in Sonic 3!
Matt Donato from The A.V. Club stated that Sonic 3 showcases its animated characters brilliantly. He mentioned that while the film’s action was less live-action, it wasn’t a problem as it didn’t negatively impact the movie.
As a gamer, I can confidently say that this upcoming movie will serve as a thrilling distraction for my family during the festive holidays. (Frank Scheck from The Hollywood Reporter stated the same.)
Andrew Pulver from The Guardian acknowledged that the film’s primary purpose might have been to generate profits (cash grab) and appeal to fans (fan service). However, he further stated that despite not being deeply immersed in the complex storylines of early-2000s video games, one could still find the movie an enjoyable experience.
Sonic 3 gets solid Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores
Currently, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is receiving an 85% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics. On Metacritic, it has earned a score of 62 out of 100 based on 17 reviews, signifying a predominantly favorable reception. It’s important to note that Metacritic assigns ratings using a weighted average system for movies and television shows.
While these figures are encouraging, the film may well encounter its most significant challenge as it premieres in cinemas this coming Friday.
