Critics Consensus

With a double helping of Jim Carrey's antics and a quicksilver pace befitting its hero, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the best entry in this amiable series yet.

Bilge Ebiri

New York Magazine/Vulture

All these films demonstrate a defined, charming sensibility as they throw a million gags at the wall to see what sticks; it’s mostly a victory, even if just a few do.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

It’s the kind of cross-cultural mash-up that might be intriguingly baffling if it wasn’t more or less the norm in present-day Hollywood.

Rated: 2/5

Katie Walsh

Tribune News Service

"loud, chaotic and often corny, with a visual style that can only be described as “retina-searing,” but the script by Pat Casey, Josh Miller and John Whittington is funny, punny and doesn’t take itself too seriously.”

Rated: 2.5/4

“Sonic the Hedgehog 3” is a curious example of popcorn distraction trying a little harder and it pays off.

[Jim Carrey] is, essentially, his own co-star here, and few actors have ever seemed more impressed and delighted with their scene partner.

It was a lot of fun. The audience were 6 tear olds, 10 year olds, 13 year olds, people in their twenties, and everyone was cheering, clapping, ooohing, and laughing. It was a movie that pleased Sonic fans of all ages.

Hard to believe the third sonic movie is by far the best one but it manages to satisfy both die hard fans and casual fans.
