1. Empire

4 / 10

Steered by largely the same creative team as before, this is simply more fairly generic and forgettable family fodder: a Saturday-morning cartoon with a Hollywood budget, targeted primarily at an audience of eight-year-olds.

9 / 10

Translated from swedish: Everything clicks here and it's wonderful to see and hear the wonderful chemistry between the actors. Now we're just waiting to hear that there will be a third film in the series!

2. Senses

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: The pace is high and the action scenes are fun and entertaining. The humor is at its best, but there are also some emotional sequences that are presented in a good and thoughtful way.

3. Moviezine

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Sonic 2" is an entertaining blockbuster that fans of the character and the previous film will appreciate - and perhaps especially the younger audience. There are a lot of nice winks to the games that make me raise the corners of my mouth, epic scenes and occasionally spot-on humor.

4. Aftonbladet

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Sonic 2" is of course not primarily aimed at an adult audience, but it more than holds its own and accompanying children will almost certainly have fun. Jim Carrey provides funny wordplay and physical comedy, the action sequences are generally good, and the standard story about taking responsibility for others, friendship, and finding one's family is just about right.

5. Filmtopp

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: It's a pleasant roll with sporadic laughter that didn't give me either more or less than my lukewarm expectations. Sonic and his friends may not reach any galactic heights, but I'm still very satisfied here in the warmth where we all find ourselves.

6. Game Reactor

5 / 10

Translated from swedish: Somewhat worse than the first film, but sufficiently action-packed and humorous to entertain the whole family.
