It's silly popcorn (or chilli dog) entertainment for the family that's hardly award-winning, but even fans from the Mega Drive days will find an emerald in the rough. Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) soon returns though, having been stranded on a mushroom planet (a nod to Mushroom Hill Zone) in one of the most disgusting opening sequences for anyone who dislikes fungi. And somehow Tails is a cute companion rather than a burden. Yet where the first put the hedgehog into the real world, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 puts the video game back into the film, its plot now hinging on entire setpieces that honour the game series. Beyond that, though, director Jeff Fowler has injected the sequel with a large dose of... Sure, it features the blue blur you know and love, but putting him on Earth in the real world puts a new spin (pun intended) on the franchise.

Jim Carrey has revealed that he wants to retire from acting after Sonic the Hedgehog 2, saying he enjoys his spiritual life away from the spotlight.

"I'm going to be in the world no matter what. "I really enjoy my quiet life and I love putting paint on a canvas and I really love my spiritual life. But I'm taking a break."

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 star Colleen O'Shaughnessey has revealed that she didn't expect to reprise Tails.

What's different is the circumstances and it's cinematic, so it's bigger, but the performance is more grounded and more serious," she said. The previous things, they already had an established relationship whereas this is new." Probably part of me assumed that I wouldn't because typically voice actors get replaced by celebrities.

The Blue Blur's movie sequel features another classic Sega character cameo for people who stick around.

Shadow the Hedgehog, a Sonic rival that first appeared in 2001's Sonic Adventure 2. Using alien DNA to research immortality, Robotnik's grandfather created Shadow. Following the scientist's death, the military became fearful of Shadow and placed him in suspended animation. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 zipped into UK and Australian movie theaters this week, and will hit the US next Friday, April 8. "This is the confident sequel the original left me hoping for, with a sharper script and jokes that'll leave you giggling," I wrote in my CNET review. It's likely the same will happen in a Sonic sequel, though they might make some tweaks since that feels a bit too similar to Robotnik's manipulation of Knuckles. Like the first Sonic movie, it includes a post-credits scene hinting that a classic character will play a major role in the next one.

The former Kidding star doesn't seem to be kidding about wanting to take a break.

As much as Carrey claims it’s rare for a celebrity to say they’ve had enough, he’s hardly the only Hollywood star to retire from acting. Either way, it certainly drums up plenty of publicity for the Sonic sequel. Jim Carrey’s taken on every kind of role, with an even mix of brilliant, career-defining roles, and some not-so-good ones.

Sony's latest Marvel movie, "Morbius," hits theaters this weekend, but critics have not been kind to the film.

What critics said: "Mostly, the film occupies a strange no-mans-land of the sprawling Spider-Verse, not charming like the Spider-Man films, not funny like the Venom films, and certainly not technically impressive like the animated 'Into the Spider-Verse.'" — Indiewire But with the stakes so high, how long can Dumbledore remain on the sidelines?" In a high-speed pursuit that never stops, Will and Danny must evade a massive, city-wide law enforcement response, keep their hostages alive, and somehow try not to kill each other, all while executing the most insane escape L. A. has ever seen." His test comes when Dr. Robotnik returns, this time with a new partner, Knuckles, in search for an emerald that has the power to destroy civilizations. With a career built for this very moment, the seminal award-winning actor must take on the role of a lifetime: Nick Cage."What critics said: "The filmmakers pull from every corner of Cage's filmography to craft something transcendent." Nick Cage in the action-comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Creatively unfulfilled and facing financial ruin, the fictionalized version of Cage must accept a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous superfan (Pedro Pascal). Things take a wildly unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative (Tiffany Haddish) and forced to live up to his own legend, channeling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters in order to save himself and his loved ones.

What's more, once it is built the set truly comes to life. Made up of 1125 pieces, the familiar scene is known to Sonic fans with its lush (albeit plastic) grass and palm trees. These are three TV-shaped Item Boxes, containing an Extra Life, Speed Shoes and Blue Shield.

I’ve done enough. If the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break. I’m being fairly serious...It depends.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2's credit scene directly sets up the third movie, but who is that major new character and what happened in the games?

However, we imagine that the third movie would stay fairly loyal to Shadow's introduction in the games and have him work with Dr Robotnik, initially at least. There's certainly plenty to explore when it comes to Shadow and his backstory which we doubt can fit all into the third movie. In Sonic Adventure 2, Dr Robotnik freed Shadow from the GUN base on Prison Island after his 50-year captivity. As an antihero, he's generally on the side of Sonic, but his methods have sometimes brought him into conflict with Sonic. It could risk becoming a bit too similar to Knuckles in the sequel who also starts against Sonic, but then teams up with him. Sonic fans will be well aware of who Shadow is, but a quick recap if it's needed.

Paramount Pictures has finally released Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and YouTube fans have been quick to spot a cameo from beloved Youtuber Preston.

Preston appears quite early on in Sonic 2. Sonic the Hedgehog made waves as it became the biggest opening weekend for a video game film in the US and Canada. Sonic’s newfound freedom quickly goes awry when Dr Robotnik and his sidekick Knuckles return.
