Sega Video Game Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Continues to the Big Screen

The Sonic the Hedgehog story continues into the sequel. This Sega video game in fact still attracts the attention of fans from various formats, including a big screen. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a sequel to the first film that aired in 2020. Through the production of Paramount Pictures Indonesia, Sonic 2 tells the story of the adventurer of the blue hedgehog after fighting Dr. Robotics.

Sonic (Ben Schwartz) lives his life after successfully expelling Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) to the mushroom planet. The incident only took place briefly after Dr. Robotnik teamed up with Knuckles (Idris Elba).

Sonic 2 is Jeff Fowler's development in directing the film adaptation of this video game. Both from the story, comedy, to the action is much more fun than the first part. If previously we were acquainted with Tom and Sonic, this time the audience will see the conflict experienced by Sonic himself. Starting from the maturation process when Tom and Maddie left to the introduction of new characters.

Its long duration doesn't necessarily make the story boring. The interactions between Sonic 2 (2022) and Tails and the comedy seeds are quite entertaining.
