Static code analysis (e.g. sonarqube, checkstyle, spotbugs, PVS Studio, linters, ...) is not the same as code review. If it is, then you are doing code review wrong.
In a code review you review if the code does what it is mean to do, in a proper way. Unless you have a formal specifications and model checkers it is not something you can automate. That's why we still do it by hand (besides the fact that you also learn by reading code).
