Episode 182: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Does Sonic's Third Film Blow Past its Predecessors...or Get Woefully Left Behind?

from The Daily Daze · host Pacario

The Sonic Trilogy--or, "Hollywood's Sonic" as coined by some--has always presented a rather, er, different spin on the classic character. More than cool and shrewd, this blue dude is young and playful and, really, just very lonely. But now, as of this third cinematic outing, the hedgehog's found himself a human family and a gang of furry kin--a team, so to speak, to take on the latest global threat. Yes, Dr. Robotnik is back, but this time it's Shadow who's the real powerhouse in a film that somehow manages to be both hilariously ridiculous and poignantly heartfelt. But does that mean it's good? Could Sonic 3 be the best film of the entire trilogy, the rare sequel to best its predecessors? Mr. Pacario offers his shocked, if belated, analysis.Come visit lostnostalgia.com for more news and fun concerning everything old and retro, weird and obscure!Thanks to Decktonic for the cover music!
