#JIM CARREY PLAYING BOTH EGGMAN AND GERALD IS SO FUNNY

Ppl are freaking out over the possibility of Gerald being alive (as am I) but we also thought Pachacamac was alive in the Knuckles show and look at how that turned out. So who knows what’s going on with this old ass man😭

So, I finally watched Sonic 3 a couple days ago. Here's my full review of the film:

Spoilers under the cut!

I loved the film. The entire movie was like a big homage to Sonic Adventure 2 which was great. My favorite scenes were with Shadow and Maria; specifically how Shadow was characterized. In the past games, Shadow is portrayed as some a-hole who doesn't value the lives of others. And that's simply not who he is. For example, in NO universe would Shadow say this:

Shadow is someone who's trying to find himself, but that journey is difficult because he lost the one person who truly cared about him. He's not a heartless monster, so I appreciate the producers for not portraying him like that. Instead, they wrote him how he acted in SA2 which was a perfect decision. He's very in-character in this film which made his friendship with Maria all the more impactful.

I also like that Team Sonic was utilized equally in this film. I haven't watched Sonic 2, but I know that Tails doesn't do much in that movie (which is why he's barely in most of the promotional stuff). So it's good the producers gave him something to do in this movie alongside Sonic and Knuckles. Tom and Maddie also playing supporting roles was great. They're so different but that's what makes their dynamic work. Crazy, they're human characters in a Sonic movie that I actually like!

And of course, Jim Carrey was a delight. The fact that he played both Gerald and Eggman was hilarious. You wouldn't think an actor interacting with himself would work so well, but it did! Carrey has such a goofy charm that he adds to all the characters he plays, and that alone yielded a lot of funny moments involving the two Robotniks. And the fact that Eggman went through a whole character arc and became a hero was unexpected, but I'm all here for it! It was cool to see him have a change of heart, since we don't get stuff like that in the games (as far as I remember).

The only thing I don't like about the movie was when Sonic got mad at Knuckles and stole the Master Emerald, even though Sonic took an oath to never use the Master Emerald ever again. I thought that was really selfish and out of character for Sonic. Watching him getting blinded by rage was stupid, but that was my only real issue with the film. That one decision Sonic makes isn't enough to ruin the movie for me.

I ended up really liking Sonic 3. Great movie! And if you're aware of mid-credits scene, you can imagine I'm hyped for the next film!
