Jim Carrey is gonna crush this
Jim carrey is gonna be so goated
People are gonna tell you that making three decent Sonic movies is a miracle, but honestly the real miracle is getting Carrey to do a trilogy where he seems to be checked in and enjoying himself in all three movies.
I was hoping it’d be Christopher Loyd but I’m happy it’s Jim Carrey in duel roles.
With a similar bald head and a thicker mustache, Jim Carrey’s Gerald Robotnik is sure to be the highlight of the film, just as he was in the recently released trailer.
