SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 Clip Sees Shadow Fighting Sonic and the Gang; First Reactions Hit
I’ve got a new clip for Sonic The Hedgehog 3 for you to watch and it features Keanu Reeves’ Shadow fighting Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails. Also, the first reactions for the film have surfaced fans are loving it!
Here’s what critics are saying:
Chris Killian said: “It’s not often that each movie gets better in a trilogy, but [Sonic 3] is the best of the bunch. There’s action-packed goofiness a plenty thanks to Jim Carrey pulling double duty, but what I didn’t expect was a surprisingly moving performance from Keanu Reeves and a third act that might make Sonic fans a little weepy-eyed.
“Also – there are two big post credits scenes so AVOID SPOILERS. It’s clear [director Jeff Fowler] and crew have a great affinity for the Blue Blur and he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.”
Daniel Baptista said: [Sonic 3] is an ABSOLUTE BLAST and a DREAM COME TRUE for Sonic fans. Keanu Reeves is effortlessly cool and brings so much style and raw intensity to Shadow, whose origin fans will love to see brought to life. Heartfelt, hilarious, and hands down the BEST SONIC ADVENTURE YET.”
Gene Park said: “Sonic 3 rules. It’s the closest Hollywood has made to a Dragon Ball movie. There was plenty for a longtime fan to clap and cheer for, which I did in a mostly empty theater, and outside of a few expected cringe jokes, this was a hilarious story.
“Sonic 3 is a Jim Carrey movie. There is more Jim Carrey in this movie than ever before. More than the Sonic attitude, it was Jim Carrey’s performance and physicality that tricked my brain into believing I’m still in the 90s. He is brilliant.”
Rachel Leishman said: “[Sonic 3] begs the question: What if Ben Schwartz made me cry as a blue guy who has to go fast? Just as action-packed and as fun as the first two films, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 really ups the anti and reminds us why we love these movies. Go TEAM SONIC!”
OnceUponEm said: “[Sonic 3] is truly the best of the whole franchise and is so geared towards fans of the games. We were so grateful to be invited to an early screening and we cried 75% during of the movie. 11/10, no notes.”
Joseph Deckelmeier said: “[Sonic 3] is great! We get a double dose of Jim Carrey, who is brilliant! Keanu is fantastic as Shadow! This is the perfect family movie! These Sonic movies can’t go wrong.
“I only wish we got a little more Tika Sumpter & James Marsden! They really help ground these movies, but I get it. There’s a lot of characters to serve.”
Sonic the Hedgehog returns to the big screen this holiday season in his most thrilling adventure yet. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite against a powerful new adversary, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike anything they have faced before.
With their abilities outmatched in every way, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance in hopes of stopping Shadow and protecting the planet.
Ben Schwartz is back as Sonic and the rest of the cast also includes James Marsden as Tom Wachowski, Tika Sumpter as Maddie Wachowski and Lee Majdoub as Agent Stone.
Additionally, Colleen O’Shaughnesseyvoices Miles “Tails” Prower, and Idris Elba voices Knuckles the Echidna. Then, of course, there’s Keanu Reeves who is taking on the role of Shadow.
Sonic The Hedgehog 3 will premiere in theaters on December 20th.
