Ranking Sonic The Hedgehog Movies and Shows: From Worst to Best

For a couple of years, the second live-action Sonic movie has been pretty much the pinnacle of what we could expect from these types of films, especially given Paramount’s tendency to insert unnecessary human storylines, trendy music, and blatant product placements. Unlike its predecessor, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 really picks up the pace, fully embracing the video game elements and seamlessly blending them into its live-action world. This time around, we get to see Tails and Knuckles join the fray, making up Sonic’s iconic trio to once again take down Robotnik. Watching them in action feels like an epic Avengers-style showdown, almost like a Sonic Heroes sequence, as these beloved characters rally to protect their new home. While those nostalgic nods are undeniably entertaining, what truly stands out in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is how it weaves in aspects like the Master Emeralds and the thrilling Super transformations. Plus, giving more screen time to fan-favorite characters, such as Shadow the Hedgehog in the post-credits scene, proves that these live-action adaptations are evolving. They genuinely feel like they’re crafted by folks who have a deep love and respect for the original video game universe and are intent on honoring it.
