A third Sonic film rolls off the production line with remorseless inevitability, and no little excitement among its core early-teen fanbase; the Marvel Cinematic Universe could take a lesson or two in how to keep the audience onside.
The kerfuffle over Sonic's weirdly designed teeth seems a long time ago and if Jim Carrey is really only in it for the money, he certainly gives his double role here some major welly.
This Sonic reboot takes the time-honored third-instalment approach by foregrounding a dark version of Sonic - in fact, near-identical hedgehog Shadow, distinguished from our hero by his black and red coloring.
Having a rich stew of plotlines, character arcs and dramatic incidents to draw on from more than three decades of games means that this film is, frankly, groaning at the seams with switchback story-moments.
