Sounded almost like her voice saying it lol. Can’t really expect a 6 ( I think) year old to understand her dad is a fancy pants movie critic who gets paid to talk about this stuff and that her clip will be shown to an audience of nearly 300k😂
It looks like Sonic 3 will do better than expected, whilst Mufasa will come in under expectations. I get the feeling unless the international or holdiay audiances save Mufasa , we will have another Solo on our hands.
With all the great reviews it's getting, I can see it reaching even 700 million at the box office (hopefully more), but the thing here is that Sonic releases worldwide on the 25th, so it's normal if Mufasa starts with a big opening.
Saw the screening yesterday Positives: -storyline -Shadow's character development (or just call it villain character development) -comedy is good -Video game easter eggs -Sonic and friends building -Robotnik father/son moment, Jim Carrey's performance -Emotional damage and it's not just the Maria part -Dark beginning -action and fight scenes, choreography is too good -Epic post credit scenes -Con -Maria being in the lab but not given a reason (you know why she was there in the games)
yeah even in the original game, they didn't explain about why Maria is on the arc. I'm honestly fine since they still explained how important Maria is to Shadow.
Taking my little brother to this is not only my Christmas present to him, but to myself as well lol. I can’t believe how far the Sonic movies have come since that first trailer, and as someone who did grow up with a handful of the games and loved the Shadow character, I really can’t wait to see this film! I need it to be Friday night already! Taking my fam and best buds too :)
As a non-Sonic fan, I freaking love this franchise so far and are examples of how to adapt video games into movies right. SPOILERS FOR SONIC 2: Shadow in particular has one of my favorite character tropes where he’s constantly trying to kill Sonic, but then works with him in the end to stop the cable guy.
Fun fact: Shadow isn’t actually that new for those who don’t know, he originated in the game Sonic Adventure 2 that came out in 2001 which this movie is based off of. I can’t wait to see this movie this weekend your review has me excited
Shadow the Hedgehog was actually one of my first Sonic games on the PS2 when I was a kid. The character is absolutely a product of his time (edgy and broody anti-hero/villain) but even now I find him incredibly cool lol I can’t wait to see this with my friends.
So excited for this movie! I grew up with Sonic Adventure 2, which is the game Shadow debuted in and this movie is adapting. Its still the best Sonic game
I absolutely loved it. It gave me everything i was looking for and even surprised me at certain points. The action was fantastic, the story was so emotional, the funny moments were top notch, and the soundtrack was in amazing. And the final act which i won't spoil was just really perfect to me especially the entire ending including the post credits scene. Now about the other movies i really liked them and thought the movies have only gotten better and better with each one. Being a massive Sonic fan playing almost all of the games i really thought they did a great job and bringing my favorite Sonic characters to the big screen. One last thing before i go thank you Shean Chandler for making these types of videos there really fun. Thank you Sega and everyone involved in this franchise it has been an absolute blast being a fan and watching the Sonic brand grow and grow. Sonic 3 has easily become one of my favorite movies of all time and will definitely continue to support Sonic. Also i want to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Absolutely adore how you handled the spoilers 😂😂 been watching for a while and truly enjoy all your videos! You have such a beautiful family! Hope you all have a very merry Christmas!
i find the first two movies incredibly charming, i havent watched knuckles but havent heard good things,i am excited to see this. The way they keep adding big names as voice cast and upping the stakes really impresses me. The way they turned around the negative press after the first trailer is truly impressive
Sean you got it spot on!! The movie doubles down on everything good about the first 2 and removed what didn’t work about them, as a fan of the games and someone who knows the lore it is a massive treat for hardcore sonic fans and even people who just like the films!!!! Best movie in the franchise without question an easy 10/10🙌
im so excited to see it this weekend and i am even more excited for sonic 4 and i hope we get Silver. if we get Silver in sonic 4 we really got a complete franchise with the things we want
As a big Sonic fan whose favourite game of all-time is Sonic Adventure 2 (the game that this movie’s plot is based on), I enjoyed this movie so much. I thought the first movie was fine but way too safe and the second one was great but inconsistent, but Sonic 3 is a flawless Sonic movie. It had everything I wanted and then some, and it was very faithful to its source material while still being fresh and new. The pace was ultra fast, all of the characters got roles that were just big enough, and the action, emotions, and humour were all top notch. This just might be my favourite movie of the year.
I see it at 5pm today, my excitement is palpable, I'm so ready, awesome review and you have adorable kids Sean, you're youngest is hilarious, awesome spoiler dub, it sent me, lol. 🤣
Really enjoyed this franchise especially Jim Carreys Robotnik so I'm really excited for this one. I had little doubt that they wouldn't deliver on all the action and stakes of this film but I'm still glad to hear it did. Shadow sounds awesome and considering Robotnik is returning for a third time in a row I'm happy to know they found a way to keep his character fresh and interesting rather than just forcing him in there for the sake of it
Yea they did do something to Robotnik. Its almost as if they took his backstory and family lineage, from the very game this movie is based on, and put it in the actual movie! Weird!
Hey Sean, I had a question about the movie. One of my concerns going in is regarding the tonal shifts going from Shadows tragic backstory that I know is darker in tone but then shift to silly Jim Carrey moments. Did the movie shift from shadow scenes to comedic scenes well?
Hey Sean can you do a ranking of the Sonic the Hedgehog Cinematic Universe which includes the three movies and the Knuckles show please, I would love to see it.
I just watched it and it was a lot of fun! Shadow is a fun new villain and it's pretty heartfelt. Who knew two Jim Carreys could make me laugh so hard? The only video game I've played featuring Sonic is Super Smash Bros. The first movie is a good amount of fun and the second is decent but disappointing. I think it climaxes early and I too dislike the wedding detour.
Saw it last night and I had a good time with it. 🦔 On the positive notes, Shadow and Professor Eggman might be some of the new best characters in the franchise, Jim Carrey gives another solid performance as both Eggmen and I like what they did with his original character, the battle sequences have some very cool moments, and the overall adventure is a fun journey with our beloved characters. As for the negative aspects, I do feel the conflict between team Sonic and the G.U.N. corporation was a bit forced to the point where, when certain stuff took place I thought, “that could’ve been avoided if you just communicated this plan with them” and I think there was some room for more interesting details about the corporation in general. And, like Sean said, I thought the physical comedy was a bit over played where it’s a little more hit or miss this time around and the pacing is a bit much where it does feel like it rushes through a few plot points. Overall though, as someone who didn’t really grow up with the games, I thought it was another solid entry and it might be my favorite of the franchise. 8/10
So they changed shadows origin quite a bit in the movie from the games highly recommend sonic adventure 2 for you and your son to play its the origins of shadow and all that they kept some of the key points but its still not the same
I have mixed feelings on the first 2. The pop culture references from Sonic in the first film don't make sense since he's from another planet. The second one I'm a bit more forgiving of that because he's been on Earth for a while, but the plot still drags in the second act with the stupid dance battle and James Marsden's wedding. They could have spent that time better by fleshing out the lore of the Chaos Emeralds. This looks great though. But explain why they name drop Keanu Reeves in the Knuckles show when Keanu is playing Shadow?!!
5:15 "Shadow is a newer character" You're really stretching the definition of newer 😅 He's been around for 23 years. Don't even get me started with all the other awesome characters like Silver, Blaze, Espio, Mephiles, etc.
All I gotta say is those who think Sonic 3 was dark, please, this is tame compared to the story of SA2 that it was based off of, but still a pretty good adaptation of it.
The first movie was fine, but the corporate meddling was very apparent. The second movie was so close to greatness but the corporate meddling is still inescapable. I skipped the Knuckles show because wow it looked hideous. I really hope this one's peak!
@SeanChandlerTalksAbout the Fortnite dances, the pop culture references, the meme pandering, stealing Marvel tracks instead of using music from the games, and the very fact the writers originally wanted to explore the fantastical stuff from the games but Paramount denied it in favor of budget-friendly "realism."
Just for clarificaiton, Shadow is not a "villain" and he never was one. He's just a misguided character with a very tragic backstory, as well as not really knowing who he is or why he exists. For roughly 80% of the time that Shadow has been around, he's been a hero who fights for humanity just like Sonic (except in examples of bad writing, such as Sonic Boom and Sonic Prime)
Like #1,000 baby! I have seen the first two since i own them on DVD and love them both equally which is exactly why i do plan on watching Sonic 3 between today and early January. From what I’ve heard it’s the best of the trilogy. I want Metal Sonic for the fourth movie! #Sonic3 #TheFastestThingAlive 🦔
“Shadow! And when they - *spoiler* and then they *spoiler* and he went to the *spoiler*!”😂😂😂
Sounded almost like her voice saying it lol. Can’t really expect a 6 ( I think) year old to understand her dad is a fancy pants movie critic who gets paid to talk about this stuff and that her clip will be shown to an audience of nearly 300k😂
That was her voice saying spoiler. Afterwards I had her say spoilers a bunch of times because I knew I needed to censor her
@@SeanChandlerTalksAboutthat was genius 😂
@@SeanChandlerTalksAbout Hey, sean, I am seeing it Friday. Can't Wait. I love your videos. Sonic will be the 41st movie I watched this year.
We need the spoiler review
Lets hope this beats Mufasa at the box office
Hopefully
It looks like Sonic 3 will do better than expected, whilst Mufasa will come in under expectations. I get the feeling unless the international or holdiay audiances save Mufasa , we will have another Solo on our hands.
Is it better than venom the last dance or transformers ONE??
Honestly, I forgot that movie existed.
With all the great reviews it's getting, I can see it reaching even 700 million at the box office (hopefully more), but the thing here is that Sonic releases worldwide on the 25th, so it's normal if Mufasa starts with a big opening.
Your daughter gave the greatest non spoiler, spoiler review ever 😂
☝🏻TRUEEEEEEEEE☝🏻
Gotta go fast to my local theater for this.
Why would you need to starve yourself to see this movie?
“The entire movie was about the sonic adventure “🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
Absolute cinema
Saw the screening yesterday
Positives:
-storyline
-Shadow's character development (or just call it villain character development)
-comedy is good
-Video game easter eggs
-Sonic and friends building
-Robotnik father/son moment, Jim Carrey's performance
-Emotional damage and it's not just the Maria part
-Dark beginning
-action and fight scenes, choreography is too good
-Epic post credit scenes
-Con
-Maria being in the lab but not given a reason (you know why she was there in the games)
I think they only explained it later on in canon, in SA2 she was also just there
yeah even in the original game, they didn't explain about why Maria is on the arc. I'm honestly fine since they still explained how important Maria is to Shadow.
Taking my little brother to this is not only my Christmas present to him, but to myself as well lol.

That was my first sonic game I played it’s as a kid and that game introduced me to shadow and made me love him
I checked to see how full the theaters are via Fandango reserved seating. Mufasa is a ghost town, and Sonic is PAAAAAACKED!
God bless Charis 😂 I hope no one was walking in to watch Sonic 3 during that
Charis has become the Tom Holland of our time!
I can’t stop watching reviews!!!
This has been in my top 3 hyped films of the year. I cannot wait for Friday!
Great review sean and I’m very hyped to watch this!
So excited for this movie! I grew up with Sonic Adventure 2, which is the game Shadow debuted in and this movie is adapting. Its still the best Sonic game
❤
Glad you enjoyed the film, I have the impression that despite its few flaws, it managed not to make the same mistakes as the previous ones
I like how in depth your reviews are
Also I just subbed

I'm seeing this at the earliest screening tomorrow afternoon that I can I'm so hyped
I love the "spoiler!". XD Thanks for the family review!!
Basically a shounen Sonic live action anime film, exciting. This & Cells at Work live action might make for a great double feature.
Absolutely adore how you handled the spoilers 😂😂 been watching for a while and truly enjoy all your videos! You have such a beautiful family! Hope you all have a very merry Christmas!
If anyone knows me was never a patient person so i had a hard time waiting im glad the week went so fast
2:12 "The entire movie is about the Sonic adventure"🙃

As a dad, I appreciate you sharing kidz views as well. Honestly this movie was more fir me but still lol
I’m planning to watch this soon.
Boiler sounds like the best character in the movie
Im so hyped for this film!!!! I have advanced screener tickets and the positive reviews has made me a VERY happy sonic fan.
Only watched half of this review to get the info i needed, gonna see it Friday
You asking your youngest for a non spoiler thought & she spoiling again was hilarious! LoL.
Keep it up!
Yes! Let’s go! I’m so excited! Seeing it tomorrow!
I went to the theater to see this last night, and the kids and families we're going crazy, I can see this doing really well
I was one of your first supporters. You're doing a great job. My only feedback is to look at the camera more in your videos.
Hearing good things looking like it’ll be the best of the series for me rn
1. Sonic 2
2. Sonic
I like both the movies I expect 3 to be number 1
I was litterally doing a countdown for this movie i cant wait to see it so excited
Sean you got it spot on!!

THIS WAS NEXT LEVEL AWESOME! THE THIRD ACT IS LIKE A DRAGON BALL Z EPISODE! So freaking peak!!
Great review man
Glad to hear it’s good. SA2 was a big part of my childhood
0:26 where did you get the tee can you provide a link?
They used to sell it at target
Spoiler spoiler! That was hilarious! 😂
Saw the movie and can concur, it is PEAK cinema that is definitely worth seeing in the theater!
Can you rank the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise? And please include the Knuckles series!
Best to worst:
Sonic 3
Sonic 2
Sonic
Knuckles Series
More critics need to be asking their kids opinions for these films because even as an old fan I understand this franchise is for THEM.
My favorite Sonic game of all time Sonic adventure 2 was also shadows first appearance can’t wait to see this movie
Really enjoyed this franchise especially Jim Carreys Robotnik so I'm really excited for this one.

Yea they did do something to Robotnik. Its almost as if they took his backstory and family lineage, from the very game this movie is based on, and put it in the actual movie! Weird!
So excited for this movie💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥 Sonic 3 is the better movie and rotten tomatoes is 86%
Are you gonna do an arcane s2 review?
Sean does not have the time to watch Arcane unfortunately
Hey Sean, I had a question about the movie. One of my concerns going in is regarding the tonal shifts going from Shadows tragic backstory that I know is darker in tone but then shift to silly Jim Carrey moments. Did the movie shift from shadow scenes to comedic scenes well?
Sonic 3 is worth multiple viewings. Especially the last thirty mins.
Makes me wonder why it took 3 movies to finally give fans what they wanted
Hey Sean can you do a ranking of the Sonic the Hedgehog Cinematic Universe which includes the three movies and the Knuckles show please, I would love to see it.
Your kids’ response on the movie was definitely rehearsed lol.
When we seeing Sonic 3 Keefer?
Now we need a new video game adaption ranking with this movie and maybe if possible with arcane seasons 1 and 2
Babies watch mufasa
Real men watch sonic 3

I don't really like the pop culture references either, but in movie 1 it shows he lived alone in his cave for years while consuming pop culture.

Villian is the wrong term. He’s absolutely the antagonist for most of the movie though. That is a fact.
My prediction for ur Sonic universe ranking:
4. Knuckles
3. Sonic 1
2. Sonic 2
1. Sonic 3
I'm very confident that this will be ur ranking 😁
Havent watched but i love tails and he didnt get enough attention in sonic 2 does he have alot more screen time in sonic 3
Like #1,000 baby! I have seen the first two since i own them on DVD and love them both equally which is exactly why i do plan on watching Sonic 3 between today and early January. From what I’ve heard it’s the best of the trilogy. I want Metal Sonic for the fourth movie! #Sonic3 #TheFastestThingAlive 🦔
Jim carry in John Wick 5
Well at least the critics finally appreciates something.
Indeed
The most adorable spoilers 😊
Does this movie connect to the Knuckles show at all?
Trailer shows Knuckles with flaming hands, probably no connections beyond that
Hey Sean, have you showed your son Dumb and Dumber yet (I imagine you already have) and if you have what did he think about it?
this movie is basically the opposite of the knuckles show
I love this movie it was really awesome and badass
It's pronounced Harbulary Batteries
I haven’t even seen the first 2 Sonic movies I hate myself lol
im seeing tomorrow
Do I have to watch the Knuckles show to understand some of this stuff?
It doesn't really seem like it. The only important thing from that show in 3 will be Knuckles' new flames of disaster powers
I heard back in that day you would only get like one game with one console and thats it lol
The movie doesn't even come out for two days, why post so soon? This would be way more interesting after people have seen the movie!
Because he’s a critic. It’s his job to let people know what he thought of the movie and what you could or should be on the lookout for.
If you wanna watch a live action Dragon Ball movie then you gotta see Immortal Demon Slayer. Whole thing is uploaded on UA-cam
Do you need to see the knuckles show to understand this movie? From what I've heard knuckles show doesn't interest me much
Never been interested in the Sonic movies. I know a lot of people enjoy them, but it’s just not my thing.
