I didn't see the first movie, so I'm not sure how this compares, but I found this movie pretty upbeat and entertaining. It took me a moment to get used to how the movie set up Sonic in the real world, and from then on the plot carried things well enough.
Knuckles as a character was my favorite part of this movie, with Tails being a close second. I enjoyed the action and how simple the plotline was, too, but some of the jokes and memes fell a bit flat for me. (Looking at you, Eggman.) The dance battle also felt a bit silly, but that's to be expected. Overall, I had a good time watching, and would recommend this movie if you like Sonic and have some time to kill.
