Moviegoers have spoken, and they love Sonic the Hedgehog 3!

The latest big-screen adventure of Team Sonic has earned a 96% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film, which opened in the US December 20, has so far earned upwards of $230 million at the global box office. It opens in Philippine cinemas January 15.

Reviews from critics have also been mostly positive. “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” currently holds a Fresh 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, higher than its two predecessors.

“Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is way better than it has a right to be: as a video game adaptation, as a threequel, as a family-friendly movie coming out [on Christmas season],” wrote RogerEbert.com, which also praised Jim Carrey for “giving not one but two gleefully deranged performances that harken to his rubber-faced comedic greatness of three decades ago.”

Forbes magazine also enjoyed the film, saying “it’s fun, it’s silly, it’s visually different enough and interesting enough to look good on a big screen, and most important of all it has Jim Carrey providing not one but two performances inspired enough and funny enough to make it worth watching the whole movie.”

“Clever jokes, a noticeable reverence for the source material, and some fantastic antagonists make the Blue Blur’s latest race an entertaining ride from start to finish,” raved Collider.com.

Variety was also impressed. “Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is wired-up synthetic fun,” they wrote. “It’s a trivial kiddie flick that moves at the speed of your mind playing video games. Video-game films seldom have that quality – they tend to be overproduced and lugubrious. But Sonic 3 gives hyperactivity a good name. Jeff Fowler, who directed all three of these movies, is a quicker and wittier flimflam magician of energy than he was when he made the first Sonic in 2020.”

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 Movie Review

The young and the young-at-heart are about to get "ringed" in the Sonic the Hedgehog 2, a sequel from the 2020 movie based on the SEGA video game. And it's not just a family movie that's a perfect bonding activity, it gives a special message of family and unity despite differences.

In this sequel, Doctor Robotnik (Jim Carrey) makes his way back to earth with the help of Knuckles  (voiced by Idris Elba), an echidna from another tribe who's off to kill our hero. On earth, Sonic tries to become a hero in the wrong ways but still gets the love of Tom Wachowski (James Marsden) while living peacefully in Green Hills. Doctor Robotnik's return puts a new threat to Sonic and a new mission and destiny was revealed that sends him and a new found friend, Tails, to a globe-throttling adventure.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 sends off a good start with Doctor Robotnik's exile location in Mushroom Planet. It starts to build curiosity and a satisfying feast for the eyes. The abrupt appearance of Knuckles immediately sets an upcoming danger for our hero on earth. Although a continuation of the previous movie, this sequel separates itself with an independent plot.

As we expect more humor from Doctor Robotnik, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 injects more references in different familiar movies that somehow made it to the cut and would be bearable to the kids and what adults would let pass. Expect good giggles with the other cast that are a good breath of air in the action distributed entirely in the movie.

Speaking of action, Sonic and Knuckles gave an epic fight scene for your memory. The battle of red and blue radiated light and showed how powerful our heroes are. If again I'm going to discuss Doctor Robotnik, his powers is also to watch out for. I would not give much of details but you have to stay up to the credits because it ushers a new exciting premise.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 opens in Philippine theaters TOMORROW, March 30, distributed by Paramount Pictures Philippines through Columbia Pictures PH.

THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE movie review

you're in for a good laugh with Warner Bros. Pictures' latest offering, THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE. starring Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi and Olivia Wilde, this comedy will not disappoint you even as you leave your seats starting March 20.

BURT WONDERSTONE (Steve Carell) is a Las Vegas entertainer who performs with his partner, Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi). through the years, the two have been giving shows to Las Vegas visitors with their magic. also night after night, the two are doing the same magic routines. Burt has also been consumed by his fame and fortune, setting aside Anton and believing that he can do everything on his own.

but when their performances had become stale and adding the competition with new age street magic by Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), Burt believed that his magic cannot be replaced. he has also been consumed by his fame and fortune, setting aside Anton and believing that he can do everything on his own. to regain his power and survival, he had to confront his own shortcomings by reuniting with Anton and his humanity by doing the most-daring stunt nobody has ever done.

Burt Wonderstone will give you a comic relief from start to finish and that Steve Carell never fails to give funny stints with a personal kick at the end. men would really envy Steve's characters from each movie for he gets great chicks. Keira Knightley for Seeking a Friend and now Olivia Wilde for Burt Wonderstone. it was also just so funny that he keeps calling her Nicole when her name is Jane but takes it back knowing it all along. Steve there is an unlimited number of punch lines and acts that may gross you or laugh your lungs out. hairdo and that rock star look is very funny itself. but parental guidance is recommended for some scenes.

it would be a very nice Steve Carell and Jim Carrey movie but Steve Buscemi is fit for the part. Jim Carrey's buff body added to Burt's insecurities to himself as a competitor in the magic entertainment scene.
