It's crazy how far we have gone with these Sonic movies. I remember like it was yesterday when Paramount dropped that Ugly Sonic trailer for the first movie and everyone went nuts with it so the studio delayed the first movie for 3 months just to redesign it 😂
1. Dodging spoilers is gonna be a nightmare, as most people outside the US have to wait till the 26th give or take 2. If you had told me 8 years ago that Sonic would be the first video game character with a critically and commercially successful movie trilogy, I'd have laughed in your face. But here we are, all because they listened to what the fans wanted...
Giving channel pup a comment for the engagement and adding this to the watch later Playlist so I can watch the movie blind and then watch this review after the fact.
“the movies will mature with the cast” that means eventually sonic will grow into something like the one we know, i bet 06 movie will be around the time their the most mature
Eggman has come to make an announcement.... "Mufasa is a stupid cat who can't pick up money with his pride. So guess what... Sonic 3 will be booming at the box office. How do you like that Disney, Sonic 3 beat your butt you idiot!"
I thought that too, but the more I thought about it, despite the titles, it's not like Adventure 1 and 2 are all that connected to each other. Plus Adventure 1's story isn't as interesting. I thought they may use the important Adventure elements (the Echidna stuff) in Knuckles, but they barely scraped it and weirdly replaced Chaos with Iblis.
@@mrjack3855 Either that or Mephiles depending on how far they want to go. I still think the sky is the limit although chaos would not be an antagonist i would complain about.
SA1 story wise is kinda blah and all over the place for much of it's runtime, SA2 just has far more interesting and more importantly concise things to pull from story wise. Sonic 06 has a more concise story than SA1 that would make for a better movie.
We all know you're talking about Rouge when referring to Kristen Ritter. It's kinda wild that they missed on that chance. It could've even been a post-credit reveal.
I never got the impression that Family was the major theme of these three films. Rather I've always been under the impression it's always been "Family vs. Loss and Trauma" Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow, even Ivo all have incredibly similar backstories to one another mostly either losing loved ones or becoming orphans, but it's what they choose to become that truly defines them. Not their past.
The regional releases for this movie is going to make it straight up impossible to avoid spoilers for some people I have to wait until the 26th which is already bad but in some countries they'll have to wait until JANUARY
Same, in fact, some people have already leaked certain scenes from the movie, so Ive already been spoiled witch sucks cause I really wanted to watch it blind. Still hyped tho
If it’s released after December in your country it might be worth watching the movie on a leaked site then watching it again in cinemas, that’s what I did when Captain America Civil War came out and I loved it, but tbf I won’t do that this time since I’ve got about 3 days until I can see the movie
I am VERY annoyed that I have to wait until Boxing Day to see the movie here in Australia, but save your sympathy for Madagascar as they have to wait until APRIL to watch the movie and that's very disrespectful on Paramount's part. Every country should matter equally when it comes to these movies as the crazy Sonic family we're all a part of is global.
12:39 i have a feeling i know exactly what character you are referring to (if you played SA2 i guess you could call them the "culprit") so it is kinda disappointing she wasn't used for that role.
I can’t wait to see this movie. If there’s one song I want to be in the film is “I am” from shadow the hedgehog. That intro theme song is so bad ass I would go nuts it’s in this movie.
Right, firstly; Hell yeah pup, glad you got an invite to the premiere So I got to see this film early (won tickets with O2 if anyone was curious) and I am in 100% agreement this is the best of the trilogy, the humor was (mostly) on point, Keanu brings across Shadow really well, the backstory with Maria was handled with Aplomb and the development of the main trio was fantastic. I'm gonna have to be a bit of a contrarian here; I did not rate the dual Jim Carrey and felt it was one of the weaker areas of the movie. It started well and there was some good moments but I was getting tired by the end, there was a certain point where it just became insufferable for me (no spoilers but it was towards the end of the movie), which is a shame as I usually love Jim's Eggman. Aside from that though it was a fantastic experience and ill be going to watch it again when it releases (But seriously they did not need to go that hard with a post-credits scene, they cooked so damn hard)
I've been waiting for this review with bated breath, since I trust your opinions on the movies and find them quite similar to mine. I grew up with the Sonic Adventure games and naturally feel anxious about SA2 being adapted for cinema, especially since I wasn't the biggest fan of the last two movies. This one, however, is shaping up to be something special.
12:26 I haven’t seen the movie, but maybe she is rouge bc we saw Tom use that shape shifting tech to turn into his dog. Maybe it could work in reverse too, with an animal turning into a human.
Really enjoying the insights here! Can't wait to see this movie friday - though gonna have to come back to this after watching cause I think I have an idea of what mean by that Kristen Ritter criticism, but am unsure 😅
What a way we have come since "Sonic Teeth" and misunderstanding talk show host tried to paint the issue as less than it actually was for the product. Not to mention these films do not take their success for granted. They have understood each time to be grateful, to the point where ever their big actor names still make sure to get into the mindset of those characters instead of just "You're famous and we just wanted your name on the poster, just do what you normally do, no need to try." Man, makes me wish more studios took the hint, coming out on the same day as a certain Lion Movie that's gonna be resting on it's laurels and knowing that James Earl Jones sympathy and returning names being likely overpaid for a few lines will be enough alone to propel their film to success.
"Maybe don't expect this to be one-to-one with Sonic Adventure 2, there's definitely been some changes here" over BioLizard footage 🤔 I'm not happy, but I'd rather not go in hoping for someone I'm not gonna get
Didn't Crush 40 confirm that Live And Learn is going to be in the movie? I'm going to be VERY annoyed (and rightfully so) if Live And Learn gets replaced with a forgettable and generic rap song. Can these Paramount Sonic movies go five minutes without disappointing me?
@ChannelPup I really don't know how to feel about it because on the one hand it sounds awesome but on the other hand I can't think it does SA2 justice when it's missing 2 of the biggest female characters (unless I'm gonna be surprised). Idk is there any hope for me as someone sadly looking for some pink rather than just a boys club
While I understand your concerns, I’d like to give you an explanation as to why that is. It’s been said that the reason Amy, Rouge, and any other Sonic character do not make an appearance in the main film is because they don’t want to overcrowd the plot and dilute the core narrative. Which is why they add in some characters at a time to make sure they serve the story well and not have subplots that don’t contribute to the overall story. For example, Sonic Movie 3 is focusing more on Shadow’s arc, and with Gerald Robotnik added in, as well as Team Sonic, they can’t risk adding too many. In total, it has 7 Sonic characters, each that contributes to the main narrative. Adding one or two more characters will dilute the story on Shadow and may end up giving the new characters more screen time, seeing as that usually happens in most films that introduces new characters. Resulting in Shadow having less screen time. So, it’s best that new characters appear in future releases so their story and character is fleshed out more instead of being rushed.
@EpicPixel2024 That's fair but equally Amy is part of the core 4. The fact we still haven't had a female main character speaks volumes. However, if that's their justification then I hope it means we can see Amy in movie 4 in a star role and not a damsel or just a sidekick
@@kariminal2999 I mean those two female characters weren't exactly the main focus of SA2. I get the feeling like somethings missing, but whether justice SA2 is bigger than two characters.
@@fightingmedialounge519 Yeah fair, counted argument maybe shadow shouldn't have been movie 3. Obviously we're getting what we're getting but it feels like a cash grab. Rouge should have been introduced in knuckles or with shadow and Amy should have been movie 3 with shadow movie 4
“Shadow the Hedgehog is a cinematic masterpiece, he played on my fucking theater, that’s right, he pulled his hedgehog fucking quilly film out, and he played on my fucking theater”
In the Kristen Ritter bit is referring to "That Character", just guessing based on context clues of what you're saying, then I think I had the same thoughts in the build up to this movie to what you seem to be describing. But I haven't seen the movie obviously so maybe I'm off base.
Seriously pup, just thank you for not bashing but rather praising the entertainment value of the man of steels destruction scenes because...my gosh everyone seemed to turn into a giant drama queen crybaby over that subject all of the sudden and forgetting cities being destroyed in fiction since mighty morphin power rangers in 1993.
Dude Man of Steel is one of my favourite comic book movies. I remember my college friends said "there's too much action" but I'm like DUDE THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR.
I actually prefer when humans are a part of the Sonic world. Like Unleashed, etc. Sonic X is one of my favourite Sonic adaptations. Just so long as we don't lose sight of who we're reeeally here for and we can get some cool environments too.
Got here before Eggman made an announcement
I’ve come to make an announ….. OH GOD DAMMIT SHADOW!!!!
IVE COME TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT
It's crazy how far we have gone with these Sonic movies. I remember like it was yesterday when Paramount dropped that Ugly Sonic trailer for the first movie and everyone went nuts with it so the studio delayed the first movie for 3 months just to redesign it 😂
6:06-6:20 Movie Eggman: Citizens of the world, THIS IS MY MOVIE! My spotlight to SHINE!!
1. Dodging spoilers is gonna be a nightmare, as most people outside the US have to wait till the 26th give or take
2. If you had told me 8 years ago that Sonic would be the first video game character with a critically and commercially successful movie trilogy, I'd have laughed in your face.

I would love a more serious sonic movie
Not exactly what that means.
Eggman has come to make an announcement.... "Mufasa is a stupid cat who can't pick up money with his pride. So guess what... Sonic 3 will be booming at the box office. How do you like that Disney, Sonic 3 beat your butt you idiot!"
Lets hope so
You mean Eggman Mean Bean 3 ??
SONIC 3 WAS ABSOLUTE PEAK AND SONIC 3 SOLOS MUFASA AT THE BOX OFFICE BEYOND THE CONECPT OF NEG DIFF 🔥🔥🔥🔥
When a review starts with the person struggling on if they should say “stuff they disliked” you know it gonna be good lol
I just saw an hour long much better video that went into spoilers and to be honest with you. I kind of prefer critical look at things.
The fact we got a SA2 movie before a SA1 movie is so funny to me
I thought that too, but the more I thought about it, despite the titles, it's not like Adventure 1 and 2 are all that connected to each other. Plus Adventure 1's story isn't as interesting. I thought they may use the important Adventure elements (the Echidna stuff) in Knuckles, but they barely scraped it and weirdly replaced Chaos with Iblis.
SA1 is probably being saved for later or as the last movie. Chaos would be fitting as the final antagonist.
@@mrjack3855 Either that or Mephiles depending on how far they want to go. I still think the sky is the limit although chaos would not be an antagonist i would complain about.
@@AussieDragoonthats not true. The yellow emerald. A BIG part of sa2 would NOT have happened if not for sa1
SA1 story wise is kinda blah and all over the place for much of it's runtime, SA2 just has far more interesting and more importantly concise things to pull from story wise. Sonic 06 has a more concise story than SA1 that would make for a better movie.
We all know you're talking about Rouge when referring to Kristen Ritter. It's kinda wild that they missed on that chance. It could've even been a post-credit reveal.
I wanted Kristen Ritter to play Omochao so bad. 😭
I'm gonna go watch the movie on the 23rd, but at least I got this review on my birthday. Thanks, pup!

Yoooo its my bday too. Happy bday!!!

Happy Birthday @axelwoni.m.8940

"Family vs. Loss and Trauma"
Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow, even Ivo all have incredibly similar backstories to one another mostly either losing loved ones or becoming orphans, but it's what they choose to become that truly defines them. Not their past.
I'd say the major theme is finding purpose in a world that doesn't want you.

I’m watching it on the 26th as well. Stay safe on the Internet 🫡

Mufasa is gonna lose so hard
Very happy you got invited to the premiere
Got my tickets to see it tomorrow, I can't wait!
Can’t wait too see this masterpiece in theaters on Christmas
More shadow and maria sibling bonding is exactly what I wanted to see. Thank you for confirming the film spends time on their relationship.
I haven't seen the movie but I totally agree about Ritter, it would have made so much sense. But I think we were expecting too much.
Can't wait to see Eggman's twitter announcement in live action!
Love from Greece. I'm quiting the internet until the movie comes to my country on January 2 until then.... Keep up the good work!!!
I am so excited to see this awesome movie soon because I love Sonic and shadow they are my favorite characters in this series.
IT'S PEAK
Got my tickets and will see it at my local theater tomorrow 😁 cannot wait to see my favorite Sonic video game come to life
Shadow is the goat
Sonic 3>>>>Mufasa
All 2d Lion King media >>>>>> Mufasa

good riddance, now for Year of Jet the hawk!
Year of Luigi came early however...pew pew!!
Man, I cannot wait for this movie to come out all the.Reviews got me excited to see it
I’m assuming the Kristen Ritter thing is about Rouge the Bat.
That was a fake leak I honestly don’t know why the fans were expecting that

I’m going to see sonic 3 on the 21st with my friends
You're a colorful bunch
Shadow 'believes' he lost his family? Hmmmmm
Looking forward to it and still very much hoping that Amy never creeps her way into these movies.
Really enjoying the insights here! Can't wait to see this movie friday - though gonna have to come back to this after watching cause I think I have an idea of what mean by that Kristen Ritter criticism, but am unsure 😅
That segment about Chrysten Ritter realy wasnt needed, in a no spoiler review Pup...
To be fair, I have literally no idea what he's talking about lmao
12:12 I haven’t seen the movie yet, but is her referring to topaz from Sonic x, if so then yeah, she might fit that role
This has me so hyped for this movie!
You are the only reviewer I trust regarding the Paramount Sonic movies, as your opinions toward the Paramount Sonic movies are very similar to mine.
Wish me luck...
...its airing on the 25th of December 💀
...Spoilers won't hurt if it is the execution of cinematography that matters...
My hopes are high
This is gonna be an awesome Winter
Got my tickets for Friday, can't wait! Mufusa & Kraven the Hunter are gonna lose unapologetically hard lol.
Going to see it tomorrow!!!

Does Eggman come to make an announcement? That meme caught on strangely well. Never cared for it personally past that quote
It’s sad that Australia has it coming a FULL SIX DAYS LATER
Can't wait for this movie 💙
When he started to talk about the music he used live and learn... are we going to have it on the movie ?
I’m seeing this movie tomorrow I can’t wait I’m going with my best friend
I think I’m the only one that liked the Olive Garden joke XD
I still miss the old opening 😞
How long are the credits?
I’m seeing it tomorrow

12:38 ar-are you talking about Sam's crack theory about agent Rockwell being rouge
Haven't watched the movie but I'm pretty sure they're talking about the role Sam really wanted in this movie (she's part of gun)
It only releases on the 26th in Portugal. Ima be avoiding TH-cam like the plague haha
88% ON ROTTEN TOMATOES YES
So is Live and Learn in the movie? Even if it’s just orchestral? And if it is is there ever a version with lyrics or rock?

how did u watch it early

I wish sonic kept its new jack/ early hip hop influence. It’s been completely drained from the soundtracks I feel.
