This is just as good if not better than the first one. Same thing with Uncharted I just think critics are way too hard on these video game movies because of the stigma around them. This is a sonic movie! Why would they not be using elements from the games that are related to sonic if it's a sonic movie? That's ridiculous. Every complaint that I've seen about this movie they are saying that this is a cash grab for sonic. Other than that I really like that I really don't understand why critics are so hard on this franchise. I just don't get why they won't make a movie about the characters from the game themselves and not try and add a bunch of side human characters to further along a less interesting plot. It's not perfect, or some things with the human characters that are pretty boring and obnoxious. I also felt like the rivalry between sonic and knuckles really worked and you can tell that there was a lot of animosity between the characters which was the point of their rivalry. The addition of the other video game characters and only make this 1000 times more entertaining than the first one. For me personally I felt like this was one of the better video game movies I have ever seen. I'm genuinely confused on why critics are going out of their way to try and review these films as if they were trying to be Gone with the Wind.
