Leslie Felperin of The Guardian gave the film a three out of four stars and wrote, "There's not much to spoil about Sonic the Hedgehog 2 because there’s not very much to say about it, other than it's mildly amusing and reasonably competently assembled."
lmao
Bob Hoose of Plugged In gave the film a positive review, saying, "In short, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 doesn’t necessarily grab the gold ring right out the first loop-de-loop, but it won't disappoint the kids or their "fanboy" parents by the time you hit the flag-waving goal."
can’t be disappointed if you weren’t expecting anything in the first place
i guess knuckles not crouching before leaping fifty billion feet forwards counts as “reasonable competence” in this reviewer’s mind
