Sonic 3 benefits from this one key addition
Paramount
Naturally, one of the film’s biggest assets is Shadow himself. Keanu Reeves’s role as the vengeful hedgehog fits the actor like a glove, given the character’s strong similarities to John Wick. Reeves imbues his performance with enough anger and brooding to invoke fear of and sympathy for Shadow’s character. Despite his brutal nature, Shadow makes it clear in the film that he doesn’t want to hurt anyone, but feels compelled to do so, having lived with nothing but revenge for decades. On top of that, Shadow’s scenes with Maria, played by rising star Alyla Browne (Furiosa), lend a tragic gravity to his story, making him a well-rounded character who easily steals the show.
Double the Carrey, double the fun

Carrey delivers a spectacular dual performance as the zany Ivo Robotnik and his even more sinister grandfather. While the film ratchets up the wackiness with two Jim Carreys, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 adds greater depth to Ivo’s character. Ivo makes it clear how neglected he was growing up without a loving family, and now he think he’s finally found what he was looking for with his grandfather.
A feast for the eyes

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 also deserves recognition for its visuals, as the franchise delivers more incredible CGI to bring Sonic and his anthropomorphic pals to life. This threequel’s VFX presents some stellar action scenes, particularly the colorful, high-speed fights between Sonic and Shadow. The best of them all is undoubtedly when Sonic and Shadow go god mode with the Chaos Emeralds, battling across the Earth in a fight that looks straight out of Dragon Ball Z.

Conclusion:
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is easily the best of the trilogy, and it could’ve ended the film series on a high note. Of course, it still lays the groundwork for more sequels and spinoffs, particularly the recently announced fourth Sonic film. At some point, this franchise will exhaust itself, but for now, it remains as golden as the rings Sonic collects so eagerly.
