Finally watched the Sonic Movie 3, and man, what a amazing movie, It's hard to believe how far this franchise got when you remember that it started with a trailer that went completely wrong, I see a lot of people saying that it's the best videogame based movie franchise ever made, I think I agree, though when talking about success, maybe I think that goes for Mario as it got 1 billion with just one movie.
Now, even though I think this one improved even more and definitely enjoyed it more than the previous one, I didn't cry watching it like I did when I watched Movie 2 in 2022, I believe that is simplely because I was still a huge fan of the franchise in 2022, I was still obsessed with it at the time so my hype and feelings about it where a lot stronger than now, and I'm generally a more calm and less expressive person nowadays. Now, as I said here multiple times, I didn't stop liking it, I stopped "liking it" in 2023 because of some dumb reasons and the depression I had at the time. Now I'm a lot better and I accepted it into me again, I still love the games and the characters, I just don't follow the franchise anymore as I used to do when I was a hardcore fan (constantly seeing the latest news every day and feeling the need to see everything about it), I follow it more casually now (like how I'm doing with MLP, and now even Dragon Ball technically)
Also, for those who already watched the movie and are reading this, I have a theory about the sequel: [Spoiler]
SpoilerI think the story of Movie 4 will be a mix Sonic CD and Sonic 2006' stories, because both games are about time travel. Metal Sonic's debut in the post credits scene reminds me of how the Terminator shows up, which is through time travel, so that makes me believe that the Metal Sonics (and maybe Amy too) used time travel, and I doubt that Amy will be the only new character in Movie 4, so I think Silver will show up in Movie 4 too, and Shadow will return, and I don't see them making a Sonic CD adaption with Shadow, if Shadow will return and there's the chance for Silver to be in Movie 4, then that would make the Sonic 2006 trio that is Sonic, Silver and Shadow. Also, Shadow returning after his supposed death is a reference to Sonic Heroes, and the main villain of Sonic Heroes was Metal Sonic, so...also, Amy had a important role in Sonic 2006 when compared to other games, which makes me further believe Movie 4 will be indeed a Sonic CD and Sonic 2006 adaptation, and not a Sonic CD adaptation only. Maybe it can actually even be a Sonic CD x Sonic Heroes x Sonic 2006 adaptation.
Anyway, that didn't prevent me from noticing all the countless references to the games (they just make more every movie) and from finding the movie awesome, I'm sure the fans and non-fans that still haven't watched it will love it, I think it's a awesome adaptation of Adventure 2, my favorite Sonic game, also I miss playing that game, can't even remember the last time I played it, I just need to find a good opportunity to turn on my Xbox 360.
Well, I only got to watch it in 2025 (and fortunately I could avoid any spoiler), but I consider to be my favorite movie of 2024, yeah, I know no movie in 2024 really interested me other than Transformers One, but I don't care XD, TF One was amazing for me too, but Sonic 3 was already better for me, I understand more about Sonic than Transformers, so one movie was easier for me to enjoy than the other one, but I think TF One is a very good entrance door fot those who don't know the franchise. Anyway, I think Sonic 3 is being a success, but I feel bad for TF One flopping, Dragon Ball, Sonic and Transformers are the only franchises that still convince me to go to the cinema to watch movies about them, I really hope Transformers can stop being unlucky and start to be a success again like how it was from 2007 to 2014, unlike how many people think, I don't think it's Michael Bay's or his Movies' or The Last Knight's fault, those movies were good for the franchise in my opinion, for me it's Hasbro's fault, I hope for a good future for the franchise, but under Hasbro's management, it's being hard.
Well, back to Sonic, I believe this was the only I will be watching in 2025 movie, no other 2025 movie has interested me, don't get me wrong, I think some movies are looking really good, the trailer for James Gunn's Superman looked really great for me, I think the DC fans will love it, but it just didn't hype me enough to make me want to go to the cinema watch it like how Dragon Ball, Sonic or Transformers hype me, that is also because I'm really not a follower of the DC, Marvel or the Super hero universes, I watch their movies very randomly, same for any other franchise. I'm closer to the DB, Sonic and TF universes, that's why I get hyped for them, no other franchise, that's why I only go to the cinema once or twice per year, because I only go to watch these 3 franchises, and some years there aren't any movies about them, so I don't even go to the cinema in these years (pretty much 2021)
Now, imagine a year with a Dragon Ball movie, a Sonic Movie and a Transformers movie, that would be crazy for me, the only year I went to the cinema three times was 2015, in the 2010's I watched more franchises, and I was invited to watch some of them, nowadays it's different so I'm watching less movies in this decade.
also, for anyone who's interested, all the movies I watched in the cinema, I tried to remember all of them, I don't think forgot any, though Spongebob I only remembered recently, so maybe I watched more but I doubt ~☆

I was really late to the Sonic movies – I saw the third one with some of my family without having seen the earlier movies.
But I certainly enjoyed it and then watched the first two (if I had known they were on a streaming service we have, I'd have watched them before seeing the third one). The second and third films were my favorites (the former probably just winning out).

@Tacodidra really good that you enjoyed them ^^ the New Looney Tunes will be a streaming movie or it will get theatrical release?

It does have a theatrical release planned in some countries... but I have no idea when I'll get to see it. There's no theatrical release planned in Finland (or any of the Nordic countries, for that matter). It isn't on any of the streaming services either. It was released in Germany five months ago, but there's still no DVD release (usually German DVDs have English audio, so importing it would be an option if one existed).
