Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
"Sonic the Hedgehog" was one of the pleasant surprises of US adventure cinema, with a plot that knows how to reference the video game and, at the same time, create a pleasant story for children and adults. So, the expectation around "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" was high. To try to reward the viewer, the sequel is superlative in everything. Instead of just having Sonic, Jeff Fowler's feature film, which returns to the director's post, brings Tails as the blue hedgehog's partner in defending the planet Earth - and some relics of his species. Against whom? Not only against Robotnik (Jim Carrey), but now also against Knuckles, a member of an enemy clan of Sonic. That is: instead of one hero, now there are two. Instead of one villain, a pair. There is an air of "product for consumption" in the whole that bothers a little, causing a feeling that there is nothing here more than a movie without any creative outburst and just a canned fun tailored to measure. Still, the feeling remains of how "Sonic 2" is a movie that will entertain game fans and, above all, be a good fun for the families who liked what they saw in the first feature film.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Successful in Sega video games (mainly in the Mega Drive) in the 1990s, Sonic returns in a movie full of nostalgia, which targets precisely those children of the past who, today, have grown up and will take their children to the cinema. 'Sonic the Hedgehog' delivers all this in a script that has its slips and extremely forced situations, but builds an emotional and action-packed stretch in its last act - which almost compensates for all the flaws. The famous hedgehog is there, visually very similar to the games (largely because of the complaints of fans on the internet, who did not like the hero's visual in the first trailer), and the cast still counts with James Marsden (Cyclops from the first 'X-Men' trilogy) and Jim Carrey (who brings all his already known traits to the villain Robotnik, but has his good moments).
Action
Furies
An exclusive Vietnamese action and revenge thriller on Netflix that thematically will remind you of "Promising Young Woman", but in action and style it is more reminiscent of "John Wick" and "Kill Bill". Although it is not as refined (or interesting) as its references, "Furies" will leave genre fans satisfied. The plot is somewhat scant: three furious and violent female vigilantes join forces to take down a sinister mafia that has made them victims. There is more substance in the action sequences than in its premise, but if you're looking for something visually impactful and entertaining, you'll like it.
Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village
After his family is viciously murdered, a kind-hearted boy named Tanjiro Kamado resolves to become a Demon Slayer in hopes of turning his younger sister Nezuko back into a human. Together with his comrades, Zenitsu and Inosuke, along with one of the top-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen Uzui, Tanjiro embarks on a mission within the Entertainment District, where they encounter the formidable, high-ranking demons, Daki and Gyutaro.
