Sonic The Hedgehog 3 review

 

The third installment of the mega popular Sonic The Hedgehog movie franchise has arrived and it is not only rounds off a pretty fantastic trilogy as a whole but it is also one of the most near perfect video game adaptations to date. This time around Sonic, Knuckles and Tails are up against the ultimate lifeform named Shadow. He too is like a Sonic a hedgehog but his power is pure chaos energy. Right off the bat here it's clear to see the John Wick parrelles to Shadow as not only does Keanue Reeves voice him but the overall vibes, presentation and quest for vengeance is all very on the nose. He's got the gun, the bike and his energy is ferocious. It does really work here though as the movie kicks off with a bang as Shadow escapes custody after 50 years in stasis. It's not long until our three heroes are alerted of a new threat and so begins the movie long battle of Sonic V Shadow. 


Also along for the ride is Jim Carrey who honestly steals the show here not only is he his usual whacky self but now it's double the fun as he also plays the grandfather of Dr Robotnik. His performance is so full of energy and pazazz it's not hard to kind of feel yourself rooting for the guy to succeed in some way. After the Knuckles Paramount show we also get a callback to that with the keeper of the Master Emerald and as a whole Sonic 3 not only delivers huge action but very real and tender character moments also. 


Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is a blast there's nothing else really to it. It's fun, frantic and hilarious. Shadow is a fantastic addition to this ever growing and changing franchise and he is brillaintly performed by Keanue Reeves who really makes you feel for him as the pain that hangs over Shadow becomes so much to bear. This movie franchise just keeps getting better and better and do stay for the post credits as there is even more to come which is amazing. This is sure to please die hard Sonic fans and even just fans of big blockbuster movies. Sonic The Hedgehod 3 is a video game adaptation done right. After the disaster that was Borderlands earlier this year it's honestly amazing to end the year with this majecstic emerald. Gotta go fast!

★★★★

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up. It begins on Day 391 of No Man's Land as the final battle for Gotham comes to a head as Captain Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Riddler and even Penguin all suit up and get loaded for combat as all men led by many more GCPD officers open fire from a top a massive wall as Jim Gordon says ''For Gotham'' this of course is going to be the end of the season but let's go all the way back to day 87 of No Man's Land where we see Gordon talking to someone on a radio.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
