If the first film is a 4/10, then the second is maybe 6/10.

The third film is a genuinely strong 8/10. Not because of the references or humour (mostly bad), but because it has a story arc with THE song right at the beginning and perhaps the most uncanny performance for a “cartoon” character.

I’m aware of how bad Shadow’s story really is across the games. It’s screwed beyond belief.

But Keanu Reeves and Alyla Browne managed to make an odd relationship feel sincere. Ignoring the source material, it still stands on its own as a FILM and not a video game movie.

Key word: sincerity!

Yes, I can love auteur films like Mulholland Drive or crime thrillers like The Silence of the Lambs as much as I can appreciate the story of an ultimate life-form in the shape of a black hedgehog learning the meaning of friendship.
