How to Watch Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Showtimes and Where to Stream Online

The journey from the infamous "Ugly Sonic" of 2019 to the current cinematic success is quite remarkable. While the first film wasn't a perfect video game adaptation, it launched a franchise featuring Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, and now, in the latest installment, Keanu Reeves as Shadow. IGN's A.A. Dowd, in their review of *Sonic the Hedgehog 3*, praised the improved humor, visuals, and particularly Jim Carrey's performance, noting a significant upgrade from its predecessors. And the cinematic universe isn't stopping at a trilogy; *Sonic the Hedgehog 4* is already slated for 2027!
