POKEMON: Detective Pikachu

This is hitting over a billion.

Well this movie came out and stuff...not sure if this breaks the video game movie adaptation curse but it is kind of fun aside from some rough acting in a few scenes.

Movie is fun and the Pokemon designs really stood out.

I know very little about Pokemon bar my brother and sister watching it and collecting the cards, so I wasn't nearly as invested as they were going in to the movie. That said, the movie is a lot of fun. Reynolds carries large parts of it, but he does it so well that it never gets boring.

I might've actually liked it even more than End Game (blasphemy around these parts, I know) just on the joy it brought me as a refreshing experience. The perfect brought to life designs just gave me a newfound love for Pikachu and pretty much everyone.

The plot was decent, the villain was quite silly in live action movie.

But I like it because the pokemon are so cute, especially Psyduck, too bad there is no slowpoke.

No Live Action Hottie Jessie.... WHAT IS WRONG THE THE POKEMON Franchise?!

I want Cynthia to show up in live action.

Quite underwhelming.

Yeah...

CGI is good (unlike with Sonic that is getting fixed as we speak), film is trying hard with plot twists, Ryan tells a dirty joke or two (even though he can't go all out for obvious reasons), but the end result is far from being amazing.

They should've hired some competent actors for the main roles, for f*ck's sake.

shrug I got what I expected from a Pokemon movie/plot in this setting.

Fans love this. I wouldn't call it the best video game film like people are hyping it up to be, but it did easily become the highest grossing one, though that's mainly due to Pokemon's brand name alone.

Pika pika.

Lasting less than 2 hours and still managing to be boring, bland and uneventful, somehow.

Would've been a total disaster, if not for Reynolds and

Spoiler:
Mewtwo

should I take a chance and see

Your choice... but I'd consider seeing other films first, like Aladdin (haven't seen it yet). Nostalgia factor is probably more powerful in that one.

Aladdin looks awful

thanks stilt

That trailer failed to convince me, too.

But I still kinda regret I haven't picked it over Pikachu.

No problem 👆

I took my 14 year old daughter to see this and she loved it. That's all that matters.

Personally, it was goofy to me, but that's not the point.
