Movie Review – Sonic the Hedgehog 2

I’m giving this movie a B, not because I really enjoyed it but because I think it appeals to the target audience: 6-10-year-old kids.

The voice acting by Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Idris Elba as Knuckles, and Colleen O’Shaughnessey as Tails was great. That in combination with simple, but well-done animated expressions brought the three main characters to life. Honestly, their acting was better than the live actors.

The story carries a simple message about leadership and friendship that is easy enough for young kids to understand—teammates who work together can always defeat selfishness.

There are a handful of jokes that only adults are likely to understand, mostly from Dr. Robotnik’s dialog, that is worth a few chuckles. Jim Carrey has announced that he’s retiring from acting, so this might be your last chance to see him in a new movie. Frankly, he deserves a better final act, but this is what we have.

Grade: B

About The Peetimes: I would recommend the third, and last, Peetime. The last hour of the movie is jam-packed with action and antics.

This is a great app. I wish more people would support it

This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!

Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
