Review of Knuckles

Knuckles (2024)
7/10
Quite good fun
27 April 2024
I didn't know this series was even coming out before it popped up on the streaming service, it was a pleasant to see it there a few days ago.

Pro's:

Idris Elba makes Knuckles stand out like he did in the previous Sonic film, he's got a perfect voice for the character and sounds like he is really enjoying it.

Adam Philly also put in a good performance as Wade, he plays one of those love-able but not confident people really well.

I would have liked to see more Knuckles in the show as a lot of the story is about Wade, though a good amount of time is also spent on their burgeoning friendship so that's alright.

The rest of the cast also put in a good show, as well as Cary Elwes who I didn't expect to see pop up. The same goes for Julian Barratt who I know from The Mighty Boosh.

The VFX was also top notch and nothing felt out of place and the sound design was decent as well.

### Cons:

The few cons that would have earned it an 8 were just not having enough Knuckles in it. It could also have done with the tightening of the pacing. Especially the last episode. I felt like that one was too short and didn't show enough of the fight with the bad dude.

The last nit-pick I have is that the ending is very similar to the end of Sonics' first movie.
