Despite one of the most disastrous first trailers in movie history — remember the one where Sonic look like a walking nightmare and people freaked out so much they postponed the release and redesigned the entire character? — Sonic the Hedgehog has somehow turned into a full-fledged movie trilogy.
The third film introduces yet another critter from he Sega video games for Sonic to fight: The ultra-powerful Shadow the Hedgehog, voiced in the new film by none other than Keanu Reeves. The new film also features Jim Carrey back as Doctor Robotnik — and as Robotnik’s own father. Somehow Jim Carrey keeps turning up for these films, putting on that deranged mustache, and really going all out.

I really can’t get over Jim Carrey playing two different Robotnik’s in a single film. Like, I just keep staring at this image. What a world we live in when this is what modern cinema looks like.
