‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ review: Jim Carrey can’t quit with lousy movie

nypost.com:

told Access Hollywood. “I have enough. I’ve done enough. I am enough.”Go with God, Jim. But the comedy great’s possibly final film, “Sonic The Hedgehog 2,” isn’t exactly going out on top.Running time: 122 minutes.

Rated PG (action, some violence, rude humor and mild language). In theaters.Two years ago, the first “Sonic” was a surprise hit for Paramount even after a wave of bad press said the terrifying CGI hedgehog we saw in the trailer was the stuff of nightmares.

The filmmakers gave the little guy a makeover and the movie made a respectable $319 million at the box office. At that point, Sonic should have scooped up his magical golden rings and — like Carrey — called it quits.

But, oh no, Hollywood’s ravenous appetite is never fully satisfied. And so now we have an often grating sequel that shoves in more of Sonic’s annoying animal friends.In the formulaic plot, his nemesis Doctor Robotnik (Carrey) has been trapped on the Mushroom Planet (“Holy shitake!,” he yells) since the end of the last adventure, but manages to escape and help a rival red hedgehog named Knuckles (voiced by Idris Elba) find the legendary Master Emerald.
