💲Worth seeing in the theater. There is minimal bad language (see note below), minimal rude behavior, and some humor that is meant to be caught by adults and not children.

Bad Language:
1) Bad ass
2) Holy crap
3) Although not necessarily a bad word, "man boobs", you might not want your kids to start saying this.

Plot:
Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite to combat a new adversary, Shadow the Hedgehog, who possesses unique powers unlike any they've encountered before. They are forced to seek an unlikely alliance, including with Dr. Robotnik, to stop Shadow and protect the planet. The plot delves into Shadow's backstory, involving revenge and a connection to the Robotnik family, with elements from Sonic Adventure 2 influencing the narrative.

Characters:
Sonic the Hedgehog (voiced by Ben Schwartz) remains the central hero, with his energetic and light-hearted nature.
Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) returns, now playing both his original role and his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, adding a comedic and dramatic flair.
Shadow the Hedgehog (voiced by Keanu Reeves) introduces a darker, more serious antagonist with a complex backstory.
Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Idris Elba) and Tails the Fox (voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey) support Sonic, with their own dynamics and growth.
Tom Wachowski (James Marsden) and Maddie Wachowski (Tika Sumpter) have less screen time but remain key human elements of the story.
Director Rockwell (Krysten Ritter) serves as a somewhat underdeveloped antagonist from G.U.N.

Visuals:
The film boasts impressive CGI, with seamless integration of live-action and animation, providing visually spectacular action sequences. The visuals are noted for their improvement over the previous films, with vibrant and detailed character designs and environments.
