"Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Watch Online - Showtimes and Streaming Options"

The journey from the initial "Ugly Sonic" trailer in 2019 to the latest installment of the Sonic cinematic universe has been remarkable. While the first Sonic movie may not have been the pinnacle of video game adaptations, it successfully introduced fans to Ben Schwartz's Sonic, Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik, and now, in the newest film, Keanu Reeves as Shadow.

In IGN's review of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, A.A. Dowd praises the film, noting, "Better jokes, better imagery, and two (!) inspired comic performances by Jim Carrey give this Sonic sequel an edge on its overly kiddy predecessors." The franchise isn't stopping at a trilogy, with Sonic the Hedgehog 4 already slated for release in 2027.
