Pokémon Detective Pikachu

I really enjoyed this at the cinema but not so much the second time round. Stepping into the world of Pokemon was fun but I found Ryan Reynolds constant jabbering too much. It was over the top and very unnecessary. Also it would have been great if they had stuck to the original source material and focused on the original storyline and original 152 Pokemon. Would have been great to have seen Ash, Brock and Misty battling team rocket.

A fun story about a kid and his dad, alongside a wonderful Pikachu protagonist. With silly plot twists, and convenient plot, it makes good on its promise of mindless fun and cool love action Pokémon, and funny lines from Ryan Reynolds and Justice Smith, it makes for an entertaining movie.

A fun inventive reimagining of the Pokémon world brought to life in live action with some really impressive CGI (albeit a bit uncanny at times). The main 2 human leads are just ok, but Ryan Reynolds is very charming and easily steals the show with his charisma, witty one-liners, and trying to figure out his backstory. The villain's final plan is a bit ridiculous, but to be fair it's POKEMON, so this is nothing new. The Pokémon battle sequences are very exciting and the movie's pretty funny all around (highlights from Ryan Reynolds and all the Pokémon gags). It isn’t perfect, but it's pretty good for a video game adaptation!

Though I’m not a fan of Pokémon, this is anactually quite a good movie. It has a Roger Rabbit vibe to it. Lots of funny moments, and the characters are enjoyably to watch.

Watched it a long time ago when it first came out with my first son who was too young to remember. Watched again with my first and second son now and I absolutely love it. Great family movie

This movie is the answer to what would the Pokemon be like in our reality.

Great for Pokémon fans. Absolutely Must-See for those who like mysteries.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu delivers an adventurous dive into the world of Pokémon, though it fails to capture the nostalgia, vibe, or charm of it's anime series and fims. Pikachu is adorable, but Ryan Reynolds as a talking Pokémon misses the mark, with the film also struggling under the weight of its exposition-heavy script. The story, while fun for kids, lacks the emotional depth to fully captivate viewers unfamiliar with the franchise. In this case, sticking to the animated feature films would have definitely been a better option.

The dialogue seems a bit bad at times but generally the story and acting are good. The pokemon themselves look great, although their interactions with humans seem a little off at times. Overall a very enjoyable movie.
