After defeating Dr. Robotnik, Sonic's life changed dramatically: the hedgehog had new friends Tom and Maddie (James Marsden and Tika Sumpter), as well as his own room in their house. Sonic is trying to become a folk hero: almost every night he goes out to fight criminals, which is not always crowned with success (an attempt to stop bank robbers almost turns into the destruction of an entire city). The idyll of Sonic is disrupted by the return of Dr. Robotnik, who found a completely unexpected way to escape from captivity on the mushroom planet: with the help of improvised materials, the scientist constructed an antenna capable of transmitting signals over long distances. Echidna Knuckles, an evil bully who has a long—standing score with Sonic, came to the aid of the madman. The hero will not only have to confront dangerous opponents, but also make friends with the fox cub Tails, another bright character in the video game world.
"Sonic 2 in the cinema" is a good example of the fact that with proper work on mistakes, the second part can become many times better than the first. The main mistake of the beginning of the adventures of the space hedgehog was in a weak scenario, which many fans of the game series considered extremely childish and abstracted from the events of the universe. When working on the picture, an experienced cinematographer John Whittington, known for a number of full-length cartoons from the Lego series, was added to the duo of creators. John's view in the new Sonic is clearly noticeable: the biggest changes have affected the genre of the picture — instead of a road movie, we now have a blockbuster about saving the world with some elements of superhero cinema.
Sonic's quest to become a folk hero will be countered by various circumstances. At the same time, the unexpected appearance of new characters and an old enemy will only be a prerequisite for a big hunt for the master emerald, a magical artifact capable of fulfilling any desires of the owner. There are also a number of visual Easter eggs: the moment where Sonic stands against the background of the moon is an obvious reference to "Batman" (by the way, "Lego. Batman" is one of John's most successful projects), and the feature with slowing down while running a hedgehog could well have been taken from the new version of "X—Men".
The creators did not ignore the other characters of the new tape. The image of James Marsden has changed especially on a large scale — Tom has turned from a Hedgehog friend into a mentor. A funny parallel can be traced with Uncle Ben, a key figure in the life of Spider—Man: the creators almost verbatim quote the phrase about great power and no less responsibility several times. Such a significant plot circumstance is justified primarily by the thematic content of the tape: the new part of "Sonic" explores the importance of the presence of a parental figure in the life of every child. The conflict between Sonic and Knuckles is based on this topic, which, as it turned out, have a lot in common: during one battle between their tribes, each suffered a number of losses, which subsequently had an impact on later life. However, if Sonic was able to find shelter and good friends, Knuckles did not accept the loss and decided to take revenge on the Hedgehog for his past.
The change in the target audience of the picture is also visible: if the first film was rather addressed to young viewers, then the second one will clearly be appreciated by fans of the game series. And it's not just the appearance of iconic characters and a key artifact for the entire franchise, but also the structure of the project. The pursuit of Sonic and Tails for the master emerald could well become a video game: a vivid adventure in several locations with a lot of action scenes will clearly be remembered by fans who demanded a repetition of a number of mechanics from the first film. It is worth noting Jim Carrey, who finally adapted to the image of the crazy Dr. Robotnik. If in the first part this character hardly posed a significant threat to Sonic, then in the sequel the canonical image of the antagonist is presented — a man capable of betraying allies in order to achieve his own goals.
The comedic component of the picture has also improved. The first part was, to put it mildly, cringe-worthy and mediocre in terms of humor. Nevertheless, Sonic 2 is taking a big step forward. One of the highlights of the picture is the wedding of Tom's wife's sister, which turns out very sadly for the bride. The situational comedy also works brilliantly in the moment when Sonic and Tails get to the pub, where they try to save their skins with the help of dancing.
Despite a number of successes that strongly distinguish the film from the background of the first part, the picture does not do something significantly new for the genre. This is a one-off movie that can satisfy fans of the series, but nothing more. However, the groundwork for the future in the post-credits scene, as well as successful collections, hint at another sequel that will again try to improve the elements of previous paintings
