While Sonic makes a new friend in Tails, a two-tailed fox, Dr. Robotnik exploits Knuckles, a bad-tempered alien who is looking for the Master Emerald, an object of great power. The surprisingly entertaining Sonic the Hedgehog delivered 90 minutes of good-natured silliness. This overlong and mechanical sequel, where the characters zoom around searching for a jewel, offers a staunch reminder that this franchise is based on a video game after all. The laughs are few and far apart, and only when Jim Carrey is onscreen.
