Yeah I;ll watch if of course, I have been entertained by the first 2 movies, and the Knuckles Mini series, so I guess I should just keep going.

I'm actually just amused by the fact they made it this far with 3 movies, I really didn't think this was going to make it as a franchise.

My six year old has been on the edge of her seat for this since she watched the first two movies in 2023.

And I have to say, the first two aren't bad. There are parts that quite funny.
