With their abilities outmatched, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance
Story
Sonic, Knuckles and Tails reunite to face a powerful new adversary, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike anything they’ve faced before. Check out the actors behind some of your favorite movies and animated series, including Keanu Reeves in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The directors of the previous films have mentioned playing both Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2001) and the solo game Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) for inspiration. The film is also inspired by narrative elements from the Saturday morning animated television series Sonic the Hedgehog (1993).
Shadow’s story began much like yours, Sonic
In the Knuckles TV series, Sonic said, “Robotnik is gone and there’s no new battle to fight.” But in this film, he told Tails and Knuckles that they must ask Dr. Robotnik to help them defeat Shadow The Hedgehog. Because of this, it is unknown how they found out he was still alive.. Commander Walters: [about Shadow] The Shadow Project is far beyond anything we have encountered.

But where you found family and friends, Shadow found only pain and loss.. SPOILER: There is a scene in the end credits: Sonic arrives at New York State Park and is confronted by an army of Metal Sonic robots, but is saved by Amy Rose.. Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is easily the best of the trilogy. Best writing, best characterization, great humor, and Keanu Reeves is a delight as Shadow.
Ben Schwartz, Colleen and Idris shone more than ever
This movie is different than the first 2, most notably in the tone of the movie, this movie is a soulful adaptation of Sonic Adventure 2 and they handled it better than I ever thought they would. Shadow’s backstory is depicted in a hauntingly beautiful way, not to mention his immaculate CGI model, I was so impressed with his look. Jim Carrey was witty as usual, a real treat to have in our franchise, he was hilariously amazing as both Ivo and Gerald. As a huge Sonic fan, this movie exceeded my expectations, what a feeling it is to be a Sonic fan!
Easily one of the best pieces of Sonic history
9/10.
