The Movie Is Worth Revisting On Streaming
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 ultimately serves as an exciting and satisfying new installment in the franchise, offering up more laughs and more action. Jim Carrey, too, as Robotnik, continues to excel as part of the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 cast. The film’s availability on Paramount+ means it will be easier than ever to revisit favorite moments and fun performances from the film, making the two-year wait for the fourth installment a little bit easier.
It remains to be seen how many more installments will come for the franchise, but the reception to the most recent entry certainly suggests there’s plenty of life left in this IP. As long as audiences continue to enjoy the Sega character’s antics and the key creatives remain interested in returning, there’s no reason to believe the franchise won’t continue past a fourth movie. For now, though, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 seems poised to please audiences once more as it lands on streaming.
