Sonic 3 - The Most Ambitious Video Game Movie Ever Made (So Far)

8:58 BRO I WAS AT THAT CONCERT LMAO, THAT WAS PEAK MOMENT, I LEGIT CHEERED AS WELL HELP

LMAO I wish I was there 😩🤌 🔥

[@CNfanatic]

Sonic 3 was definitely a love letter to Sonic fans, you can really tell they poured their heart mind and soul into the film 11/10

[@Gubz]

💯🔥 Absolutely agree 😤

[@GrandMasterBruh]

It’s crazy how Sonic went from being a complete joke to a genuinely great franchise again in the span of 15 years. I am all for it!

[@Gubz]

[@SebastianAceFawkes]

Can We also just take a Moment to Acknowledge how Jeff Fowler Really outdid Himself with These Movies? Keep in mind, The Guy had Never Actually made a Big Movie before the First Film and The ONLY Thing He did Direct beforehand as a Silly Little Short Film about a Gopher. 'Sonic 1' was His First Ever Motion Picture, so Imagine how Surprised People back then Who knew this back then when The Movie turned out Way Better than It had Any Right to be. And how that Talent was Able to Extend Across Two More Movies. Absolutely Insane.

[@Gubz]

I actually had no idea Sonic 1 was his first major movie. Props to him 👏👏 he really knocked it out of the park with this one!

[@SegaMario]

Fun Fact: He actually worked on the 2005 Shadow game. So Sonic Movie 3 was basically a huge full-circle moment for him.

[@thelittleal1212]

Having a director who was once a animator for past sonic games, and not hiring a big celebrity actors for some of the characters like sonic and tails was definitely a good decision. But even the celebrity cast was very fitting for some of the Game characters. Besides that, i just love for how much the 3rd movie went all out , with More Game references and elements in the story, and I love That they actually used the song live & learn, something that I wasn’t sure if they would use it, but I respect the fact that they did. It truly shows that they Cared about the fans and the source material. As someone who is only a recent sonic fan, i haven’t had this much hype and excitement for a movie for this long

[@Abner-gu3ve]

I’m not super into sonic, I watched the first two and they were alright I was expecting the third to be alright too but it was actually really good not to mention fun to watch without a doubt the best of this trilogy

[@Germania9]

If you ask any kid in the 90s that Sonic movies will become a smash hit and have their own trilogy, would they believe it? I'm a 90s kid myself, and I honestly still cannot believe we have successful & actually good Sonic movies, plus a decent Mario movie, in this timeline, considering the bad experiences we've had with most video game movies. My younger self would've cried happy tears seeing these movies.

[@Gubz]

Honestly! Younger me is healing with this movie 😩🫶

[@jaceybella1267]

Like I know what you're saying and I personally LOVE movie Sonic, he's a cutie and a great kind of kid version of the Sonic we know. However, when you said that his personality was replicated in a way that the fans of the games were on board, cue me going through my goddamn Vietnam flashback of the perpetual and never ending wars about how "THIS ISN'T SONIC" from a very loud and prominent part of the fanbase lol

[@Cloud-dt6xb]

I gotta say people are super unfair about the human charachters, if the relationship between Sonic and Tom had not worked we would'nt be here now. For this continuity their bond is crucial to his charachter and demanding that be sweapt aside now that we're getting what we want is just bratty and entitled. I'm not saying the movies can't go off Earth and they likely will sooner or later, I'm just sick of people throwing fits when a human charachter even breathes. Tom and Maddie are great charachters that I want to see interacting with the other cast, infact I'm very happy that they were included in the london heist. To me that was a perfect meeting in the middle where the human charachters are involved but the Sonic cast isn't shoved to the side. Not to mention it gave them another chance to work with Jim Carrey and I love seeing the other human actors get to interact with him. Bottom line the nastiness toward the humans is just tiring and really unjustified, this film team is working as hard as they can to make these as good as possible and even willing to listen to fans. So I think it's only fair to be respectful in return and to understand that for the time being the human charachters are'nt going anywhere. So long as they keep doing it more like this where their involved in the main story with the Sonic cast just as present people really have no reason to complain here.

[@Gubz]

Thanks for sharing! I think how Tom and Maddie were written in this movie was really well done :))

[@Cloud-dt6xb]

@@Gubz It did'nt seem like you thought that in the review but whatever. I of course love that their embracing the games more and I look forward to seeing what they do next. But I don't need Tom and Maddie to not be there to enjoy that, quite the opposite having them involved with the rest of the cast makes it more fun to me.. This film team has already proven they know where to put the most focus over and over again.

[@Gubz]

Oh I just realized you said "I think he was created by robotnick" when talking about Metal Sonic, this makes me think you've probably never seen the original Sonic movie! If you enjoyed this film you HAVE to watch the original Sonic anime film it was made in 1999 it covers the origin of the Metal Sonic character and it's pretty darn good- I believe it's free on KZbin as well.

[@Speedracer6]

I can totally see them pull a terminator for the next film with metal sonic replacing doctor robotnik if jim carrey doesnt come back. Metal sonic evolves into neo metal for the skynet robot empire would fit. Also amy is reese kyle sent back to protect sonics sarah conner cause amy was a resistance leader in a lot of her modern interpretations outside her sonic cheerleader thing

[@jarednorris9559]

And man last thing I'm gonna rant on here lol this is seriously giving me hope that they may ACTUALLY finally come out with Sonic Adventure 3! Especially after they showed Chaos in this movie I feel like it's definitely a possibility!!! Come on Sonic Team it's TIME! There's never gonna be a better time then now

Sonic beat kraven in the theaters the sonic trilogy lasted longer than the sonyverse despite having only 3 movies😂😂😂

That was unfortunate, I was lowkey kind of interested in seeing Kraven too 😮‍💨

@ hope the mcu can do justice to these characters, also I’ve been hearing a lot about spiderman 4 I feel their trying to cram too much into the movie. I get it’s in between doomsday and secret wars but Spider-Man 4 gonna have to be 3hrs to fit all that into it.

[@dankmemer7431]

I'm so glad that people like Silver as much as I do. Also for Amy I would have her act like Annie from Community meets Amy from Sonic Boom in which she's this girl who has feelings for Sonic but can also be Quick to Temper and has a little bit of a crazy side, in order to convince the others around her that She's this loving and wonderful person (which she can be) but has some deep down sociopathic tendencies towards those who would get in the way of her objectives. Also Alison Brie would be a perfect celebrity casting for Amy if they do go down that Annie meets Boom Amy Route They could even create an interesting dynamic on Sonic and Amy's Relationship in which they both have feelings for eachother (much like Sonic Boom) and Sonic might nearly Tweak out again when Metal hurts her but then pulls back remembering the lessons he learned from Shadow in Movie 3.

[@nathanjarrett728]

I completely disagree with the take on humans. Humans absolutely could be fantastical. They shouldn't be removed, rather included in the fantastical. Humans exist in the game universe as well, and I think it works best when they get involved in the fantastical or are fantastical themselves. I think Unleashed did humans well in the Sonic franchise. Also one of my main criticisms of the comics is that the humans are completely absent. Eggman took over most of the world in Forces. They would have been affected by that as well. And even if they weren't, are you telling me that no humans elected to help the restoration or that none of the governments leant aid to them. This has led to the Sonic universe to feel weirdly segregated, as if the humans and whatever you would call Sonic and his kind (furred people?) are at odds.

[@Gubz]

Thanks for sharing! I think how the humans were written in Sonic 3 was done really well. Kind of surprised how small Agent Stone’s role was this time around

[@nathanjarrett728]

@Gubz i liked it, but where the 2nd one had too much of the humans, 3 had too little. I think there needs to be a balance. Sonic and friends should always have the bulk of the screen time, but I think humans should have something to do.

The Metal Sonic Army is a refernce to the Metalix from the Sonic the Comic. The british publication. Archie also had something similar. But this also means that Sonic 4 is going to be a Sonic CD/Heroes adaptaion with Neo Metal Sonic as the Big Bad.

The Sonic franchise has given me hope for other video game franchises to come. I’m still waiting for the next Five Nights at Freddy’s movie. I just hope it can live up the feeling the sonic movies gave us.

[@TheEclipseKid]

Personally, we gotta save Silver for Sonic 5. And Shadow’s backstory was portrayed perfectly. It does something the games barely do, make you actually care about Maria as a character and show you my Shadow and her cared for each other. Although they did kinda stop the plot to tell it. Robotnik had a surprise key emotional and well done sacrifice. Main complaint, team Sonic had like no development. Hopefully they do in Sonic 4

[@Gubz]

I can see them waiting for Sonic 5 for Silver, I’m so excited for this cinematic universe, the trilogy just ended but the story feels like it’s just getting started

[@Rydax]

The Knuckles series is on video now. That's how I saw it. I definitely recommend it!

Have you seen the new Superman trailer and creature commandos what are your thoughts on them?

[@TheKingOfAllHorror]

[@Gubz]

I have, and it looks interesting, but I don’t really have much strong opinions to really say much. I’m cautiously optimistic about it though, I like James Gunn as a director :))

[@JacianGonzalez]

@@Gubz very true, but I’m exited we’re jumping right into this universe, instead of doing the origins of Superman again we’re jumping into a universe where other heroes are established and a Superman that’s not really dark and gritty, loved Cavils Superman but aside from justice league 2017 didn’t like how he was dark and serious, sure there’s dark moments but at the end of the day, Superman should be for all ages young or old. A light in the spark world.

[@panduh_go_crazy-.-9957]

Jeff and writers did amazing with these sonic movies l love them

[@MicMic18]

As a big Shadow fan I loved it but still just felt like there could have been more Shadow and less Robotnik. Like the silly moments were okay but I came for a movie about Shadow. I wanted to see him on his motorcycle more doing more things. It was a little annoying that Shadow was motivated to do everything by Gerald and Robotnik. Would have loved to see him doing his own thing and like being the one to get the key and do things. Instead of the humans going in and helping let it be knuckles and tails and sonic. Like the scene in the room where they all float could have been omitted to included another cool fight scene with Shadow. Like too many humans I still say. I honestly did enjoy the second movie more I just felt they had a lot of cool moments that felt videogame style. I wanted more of that with Shadow. I also wanted more interaction with him and the main team. Honestly he looks fantastic but I felt a little sad because I know he won't be the main character in other movies so less screentime then. TT^TT

[@monke1419]

Gimme Neo metal sonic, I beg 😫. All my friends came up with the same Sonic CD/Sonic Heroes/Sonic 06 hybrid story idea. I’ve actually seen it mentioned a lot in other videos too, so I feel less crazy now. At that point it’s definitely just the cell saga since trunks(silver) came back from the future where the androids(metal sonic) took over. Then imperfect cell(metal sonic) turns into semi perfect cell(Neo metal sonic), then perfect cell(metal madness), and eventually super perfect cell(metal overlord). But like…idc tho. It’d be peak. Neo metal sonic even goes super in the comics which is also cool. Obviously even base metal sonic is already badass if you’ve seen that ova. I’m curious to see who they cast for Amy. Her pining after Sonic can easily come off as more annoying than cute if they don’t pull it off right. Then again, they could just change her character completely to be immediately more independent. Granted, she is independent, but early in her story she always starts by chasing sonic. Wonder who they’ll cast, cuz shadow was cast perfectly imo. Speaking of shadow, I could see them introduce black doom if he gets a show. And the overall story could definitely lead into an actual 06 plot line at some point by introducing mephiles. I mean, mephiles’ other half, iblis, was already mentioned to have been defeated by knuckles in the knuckles shows. Hence why knuckles has the “flames of disaster” powers. And mephiles’ form is created to look like shadow’s, and shadow has already been introduced. Just saying, it’s something I could definitely see, but idk if they’d do it since it’s sonic 06.

[@Gubz]

Thanks for sharing! And yeah the Dragonball influence in a Sonic movie would be so admired since a lot of Sonic lore (Super Sonic/Shadow) is already inspired by Dragonball things 👏

[@monke1419]

@@Gubz couldn’t agree more. The lava terrain during the super sonic and super shadow fight almost made me think of like the original ssj transformation on namek. Very possible that this is the closest we’ll get to a big screen super saiyan fight for a while. Then Sonic pulled a one punch man and punched shadow to the moon. Movie was great fun and I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it too

I disagree with removing the human characters. It might not be what some fans wanted, but now they're established Sonic characters themselves, and in my opinion, the relationship the Wachowski family has is the heart of these films. It's fine if you and others don't like the human characters, but I hope you'll respect that me and others do like the human characters, and want to see more of them. I agree Sonic 3 had the best balance of characters thus far, but personally I would enjoy more of at least Tom and Maddie in the future.

The rare time the third movie of a trilogy was the best one

[@Volcanic_Eruption]

I guess I'm one of the few who like the human characters and want to see more of them. I hate that the fans who absolutely detest human characters dictate the series for the rest of us (I'm talking those who complained because humans simply existed in SA1 and SA2 like the President, those who argued there shouldn't be any humans in the Sonic universe). I agree that the humans had too much screen time in Sonic Movie 2, but they didn't get enough screentime in Sonic Movie 3 sans Robotnik, who I think had a little too much time. They can fix this by giving the humans purpose in the TV series (which typically get way smaller budgets and thus can't afford too much CGI) and keep the big budget movies focused on the characters.

[@Gubz]

I think how the humans were written in this movie was done really well! :))

[@Volcanic_Eruption]

@Gubz I do agree, they were well written with the exception of Commander Walters' "death" (?) which I think should have gotten closure (ie: did he die, did he just end up in the hospital). Also would have been nice if Krysten Ritter's character got some closure too, like learning to trust Sonic, Knuckles and Tails.

Sonic 3 is a good movie, a 7 movie. The main reasons why it's a great movie is thanks to Keanu Reeves and especially Jim Carrey, who from what I understand and it would be a spoiler for those who haven't seen the movie, Robotnik is dead. In my opinion, without Jim Carrey in the Sonic saga, from the fourth film onwards it will just be a generic Sonic movie, unlike the first three which are good movies.
