Despite being very far removed from the target demographic, I found the original film to be a totally serviceable distraction. Unfortunately, that is not the case the second time around. The story was not as cohesive, with the human characters taking much more of a back seat in order to make room for two classic sonic characters (Tails/Knuckles). Given that I have no legacy attachment to these characters, their mere presence wasn't enough to win me over. Ultimately, I found their characters and arcs too childish and simplistic to enjoy. The same thing applies to the central plot element of the "Master Emerald". I much preferred the smaller scope of the first film to this all powerful proxy infinity stone. While Jim Carrey's Robotnik and his assistant Agent Stone still inject some fun moments, it doesn't feel quite as natural as what we saw of them in the first film. Overall, I'm sure kids will still have a good time, but there was very little for an adult, non-Sonic fan to enjoy.
