Did Sonic 3 convince its early audiences? On the press side, the rest of the saga receives a rating of 2.7 out of 5 (10 press titles). The average rating is higher among Internet users, with a total of 3.9 out of 5, thanks to 155 people* who have rated it so far (including 55 Internet reviewers).

Shadow in Sonic 3
Sonic, Knuckles and Tails find themselves facing a new adversary, Shadow (voiced by Keanu Reeves), a mysterious and powerful enemy with new powers. Overwhelmed at every level, Team Sonic will have to form an unlikely alliance to try to stop Shadow and protect our planet. Jim Carrey reprises his role as the evil Dr. Robotnik in Sonic 3.
Sonic 3, the best part of the franchise?
Netizens who enjoyed the film appreciated seeing their characters again, with a feature film that some say is better than the previous one. For Adrienne, that’s about it “The best of the saga“Olivier is for Olivier”Big surprise“.
Adrienne (4.5/5):IUnbelievable. Honestly, the best saga so far. The actors are excellent, the sets are very beautiful, the script and dialogues are very well written and the music is excellent. No duration, no delay. There is no time to be bored. Action, adventure and humor. In short, I would recommend you to go see this movie on the big screen!!! It’s so worth it!!! Be careful, there are two post-credits scenes, one in the middle and one at the end of the credits. Looking forward to the sequel!!!“
Olivier Olivier (5/5): “What a surprise this Sonic 3!!! As an absolute fan of Sonic, I really liked this 3rd part, more successful than the previous two!! More rhythmic, more digital effects, more The action starts at the pace of a Jim Carrey movie and the tension does not let up until the end, which still has surprises in the cinema!!!
Donatelow (3.5): “A good sequel! Certainly inferior to the second opus in my opinion, the formula still works with very generous fan service. Of course, the bottom part puts a lot more emphasis on Jim Carrey, who seems to be having a great time with the film our For great fun and a good laugh, my downside is the Shadow character, who I ultimately find rather bland and lacking in identity. (The character looks a lot like Knuckles in Sonic 2. I was looking forward to his arrival and he is the biggest.) Disappointing in the end, but on its own, Sonic 3 is a good family movie that will entertain young and old alike!”

But a disappointing scenario?
Viewers who liked it less recommend the film to a younger audience. A”A friendly family film, nothing more than to appeal to the little ones, but not necessarily to the adults“, summarizes Cavalierza.
cavalierza (3/5): “This movie is entertaining, quite well paced, sure to please the little ones. But this movie still has many flaws, there are already many jokes. The problem is that most of them don’t work and become annoying or the story is not that good or could have been better. In short, it’s a nice family movie, nothing more, to please the little ones, but not necessarily for the adults.“
Timothy L. (2.5/5):I expected a lot from Jim Carrey (because yes, the trilogy isn’t much without him). Unfortunately, I found it too bland and unconvincing, even with funny humor. It’s a shame. However, we found some in the end. I leave a medium encouraging note.”
Pocahontas 1982 (0.5/5): “Badly acted, no plot, very heavy jokes and penmanship. We went there as a family and no one liked it.“
in short
Sonic 3 is quite a popular family entertainment overall, despite the plot that is considered predictable, with special effects and comical moments that will appeal to children. The character of Shadow, voiced by Keanu Reeves, seems to enjoy the public.
Sonic 3 is currently in theaters.
