Weve come a long way since "Ugly Sonic" first appeared in a trailer back in 2019. While the first Sonic movie wasn't necessarily the greatest video game adaptation of all time, it did kick off a world with Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, and, with its newest instalment, Keanu Reeves as Shadow.

Dowd writes, "Better jokes, better imagery, and two (!) inspired comic performances by Jim Carrey give this Sonic sequel an edge on its overly kiddy predecessors."
