Agent Stone

Agent Stone

1.  Robotnik shouldn’t return

Why? Because his ending in the last movie was genuinely heartbreaking and emotional. The way he called Agent Stone a “sickle friend” and Stone’s reactions, as well as Robotnik’s “If I can’t rule the world, I might as well save it” line was genuinely a perfect and emotional send off for the character. And I feel like bringing him back would just ruin all of that. Hugh Jackman may have came back as Wolverine after Logan, but at least they found a good way to bring him back without completely retconning Logan. I can’t see them doing the same with Jim Carrey as Robotnik (as I doubt we’ll be seeing any Alternate Universes in the movies). I feel it’d be best if they just kept Robotnik dead.

2. Sonic 4 should be the finale

As I had said before, bringing back Robotnik would just ruin everything that made his sendoff in 3 the perfect sendoff. And I can’t see them making more movies without Robotnik. One movie without Robotnik is one thing, but a bunch without him, it just wouldn’t be the same. Even if they do bring him back, I still think 4 should be the end because I’d like to see the movies end on a high note rather than milking the series just to make a quick buck. Honestly, if you ask me, the Third Movie would’ve been the perfect finale, but then they introduced Amy in the Post-Credits scene. Besides, I don’t know if they’ll have many ideas left for more movies after the fourth one.

Better than Orbot and Cubot from the games?

I cried.

I'll be honest, I was a little worried that it would be a bit subpar, because some of the criticisms that more ruthless reviewers put out seemed to be coming true in the early parts of the movie.

GUN lady is a really bad actor who didn't need quite as much screen time, and the pacing really gives you whiplash from the get go. I think they could have put in a few more minutes near the beginning just to establish stuff, but after 45 or so minutes, you're used to the flow of the movie and it gets REALLY good.

Action scenes are immaculate. I haven't jaw dropped like that since Spiderverse, and to achieve that in live action is a FEAT. Fight scenes get a little less interesting mid-movie, with a bit of stereotypical spy action, but it's quirky and enjoyable. Then it picks up again IMMEDIATELY and OHHHHH MY GOSH IT'S AMAZING. Won't spoil it bc I know some of y'all may have not seen it yet, but you will be satisfied. They gave us what we wanted.

The jokes are for some reason a little funnier than the last two movies. Maybe Jim Carrey is just doing a great job bouncing off of... himself, but not only that, the references pay a lot more tribute to Sonic fans.

Eggman's ringtone, "talk about a low budget flight", Shadow taking off his bracelets like in '06, a SnapCube reference (not the one you wanted, but a good one nonetheless). Not to mention, Sonic references my favorite movie straight after the first Shadow fight, and that is really all I needed in life.

I kind of expected Keanu Reeves to just be Keanu Reeves, but no, he tries to actually channel Shadow a bit, which is somehow even better. He really was handled perfectly, except for one minor change to his storyline that I'm a bit confused about. His final character development genuinely brought me to tears. And Agent Stone, our favorite, is FINALLY done justice, after a depressing story arc that lasted three movies.

9.5/10 or something. It's one of my all time favorite movies.
