Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Zany action doesn’t meld as well into a family-friendly franchise birthed from the Sega Video game series as demonstrated by this bloated sequel.  Ala what’s preponderantly displayed in comic-book cinema when it comes to those mid-credits ‘stingers.’

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 again includes CGI animation with live-action that is pretty overstuffed and patchy, less kinetic than the sweetly quippy, small-town appreciative original.  

Ben Schwartz again voices the titular blue lightning-fast character with much cheery uplift, dealing with his blossoming in Montana’s Green Hills.  As tended by his surrogate family Tom and Maddie (James Marsden and Tiki Sumpter). 

But, in the agitated, entangled plotting by three scribes, including two from Sonic, Pat Casey and Josh Miler have Jim Carrey’s unhinged, mustachioed Dr. Ivo Robotnik (‘Eggman’) return from a mushroomed planet exile to pilfer a precious gift.  With the assistance of a brawny, otherworldly echidna Knuckles (voiced by Idris Elba), the desperate Robotnik looks towards an all-powerful Master Emerald.  

The arbitrary nature of the preposterous, through not very pointed episode may not really disrupt the comedic effects that will especially play well with younger viewers.  It’ a case of little substance behind the snazzy copacetic designs, being immersed with corniness than really on the pace of a revered speed demon.  As Carrey’s more game-like appearance, doesn’t impart much haughty wisdom or even a flashy, prolonged Siberian snowboarding battle, give much meaning, either.
