Pokémon Detective Pikachu may not take its wonderfully bizarre premise as far as it could have, but this offbeat adaptation should catch most -- if not all -- of the franchise's fans. Read critic reviews

Dec 09, 2019Who'd have thought this is how to make a Pokémon movie work, take a c-grade Pokémon game and throw in Deadpool. But damnit all it kinda' does. The mystery is pretty basic and predictable and…well, silly. However, it pulls the movie through and the characters actually make it work. Detective Pikachu himself is especially likable, particularly from Ryan Reynolds immense charm. It's also just a fun movie with a fun world. It took forever for us to see the Pokémon world in live action, but now that we do, it looks great, and there's some real solid action sequences here. It's fairly standard family fare overall, but for Pokémon fans, it's great fun.Michael M Super Reviewer

Sep 29, 2019Worse than I anticipated. There are so many things it tries tries to be (a live action Noir-ish anime, a shameless cash grab, and a sincere emotional story about a young man trying to find his father) that each disconnected element ends up canceling all the others out. What's left is barely a movie.Alec B Super Reviewer

Aug 26, 2019I have never been huge Pokémon fan, but this was a surprisingly fun introduction to the franchise. They have spent some money here and I do question the filmmaker choice, but that is a different argument. The story is a little messy and convoluted, but the film is funny and often showcases the talent involved. The film has some grand set pieces and the special effects are quite good. This appears to be the beginning of a new series and unfortunately entered a season where Avengers Endgame was the only film audiences cared about. Hopefully finds its feet on home platforms as this is fun and very different ride. 25/08/2019Brendan N Super Reviewer

Jun 10, 2019The core story is just... So dumb. And the dialogue between genuinely any two characters that doesn't involve the titular Pikachu made me real uncomfortable. But I adore the world that holds it up. Watching Detective Pikachu was like drinking hot chocolate by the campfire in winter. Even my roommate who had to be dragged to the thing kicking and screaming ended up having a wholesome good time.Gimly M Super Reviewer
