Knuckles (2024)

Is a small miniseries of 6 chapters, which belongs to the new cinematic universe of ‘Sonic’, the mythical blue hedgehog of the video game franchise and consoles created by ‘Sega’.

This time the story focuses on the character of “Knuckles” along with “Wade” the deputy sheriff who will embark on a new adventure in a new world for the last member of the tribe of the “Echidna”.

The people in charge of directing this series are a group of directors together with “Jeff Fowler”, who has been in charge of directing the two films that the film franchise currently has to date and in general terms they present us with a very good direction with a style very similar to the films, but adding some action scenes that I found quite interesting and with many references to other films of the cinema.

At the script level have worked in writing “Brian Schacter”, “James Madejski”, “John Whittington” who has already worked on the scripts of the films of the franchise and this time presents a fairly well written story where the characters of “Knuckles” and “Dave” which were little developed previously are developed further and also gradually their evolution is seen with each chapter where both will help each other to overcome part of his past and the feeling of belonging to a new home.

It shows the great work done at the artistic level and both in the special effects and CGI of the characters of the “Sonic” franchise, along with all these skills that has this time the own “Knuckles”.

In my personal opinion I think they have worked quite well in this aspect and I think they have been at the height with the budget they have had for the realization of this miniseries.

The music used to give atmosphere to this series has great rock classics that most should know because part of the history of music along with themes from other genres that combine very well with the moments we see on the screen and in general terms the tracks used have a lot of presence.
