There is a small subplot involving some of the human side characters halfway in the film sends this film on a weird, confusing detour that adds barely anything to the overall experience. Also as a Sonic fan, this film isn't perfect. References from the original games (and beyond) will be totally lost on you and the film is definitely a kids film. If however you are not a Sonic fan, and/or don't have children, this movie will probably not do much for you. Whenever Sonic, Knuckles, Tails and Eggman are on the screen this film, its a fun spectacle and a fun time for Sonic fans. Sonic 2 takes the live action universe of Sonic and adds not only familar faces in Tails and Knuckles, but adds its own spin of the Sonic franchise's lore from the original 3 Sonic games.

The first film was a solid, if slightly safe film introducing Sonic to the live action movie world.
