It what might be of little surprise to everyone, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was... fine. It hit expectations like a bland dart striking an average bullseye. This might sound like shade but in this day and age of disappointment and cash-ins, having something that isn't offensive is actually a bit of a win - the truth is that Sonic 3 was entertaining and fun.
What's actually depressing is how we're now firmly in 2000s Dreamcast canon, which means this was a film two decades in the making. That makes me feel sad.
