First Impressions Of Sonic 2 Largely Positive - Get2Gaming

Here we go Sonic fans! The first opinions for the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 move have begun circulating on social media, and it seems to be good news thus far!

Many members of the press and influencers have managed to gain early screenings ahead of the film’s general release (April 1 in the UK, April 8 in North America). Those who were lucky enough to get this access have been allowed to post their first impressions across social media, with them all being seemingly positive as it stands.

It should be noted that the full review embargo hasn’t been lifted yet, so there could be some bias in these impressions, however it still gives some room for optimism. Before delving into what everyone’s been saying, check out the trailer for yourself down below:

Sonic Fans Even More Excited After Positive Press

Let’s have a look at what some of the lucky few had to say then. Fandango critic Erik Davis tweeted: “Good news! Sonic Movie 2 is A LOT of fun – a much bigger, more action-driven film than the first Sonic with great jokes and plenty for long-time fans.”

He added: “Jim Carrey is next-level maniacal as Robotnik, but for me it’s all Sonic, Tails & Knuckles. That trio delivers a TON of heart & humour.

“Big Sonic fans will feast on all the little references, and DEFINITELY stay for the credits. If the first Sonic is about discovering new family, this one is about the power of friendship. The BFF relationship between Sonic and Tails is super cute and funny, and my favourite part of the film.”

ComicBook.com’s Chris Killian similarly praised the new additions to the film. “Good news,” he tweeted, “Sonic 2 is every bit as fun as the first one and the kids’ll love it. The addition of Tails & Knuckles makes it feel more like Sonic.

“Once again, Jim Carrey is awesome as Robotnik, but this round, some of the other characters get some time to shine too. Also, no spoilers but stay past the credits.”
