Review of Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) by Ryanreynochu — 10 May 2019
Don't trust the "professional" reviews of this movie. It's by no means a masterpiece of filmmaking, but it absolutely does not deserve a 52 metascore. The CGI was wonderful, the attention to detail was unreal, there were so many references and nods to Pokemon, you can truly tell how much love for the franchise was in this movie when it was being made.
Sure, the human actors weren't the greatest, but who the hell is watching a Pokemon movie for the humans? My only real complaint is the forced and awkward romance, but otherwise, the humans were what I expected.
If you love Pokemon, you should ABSOLUTELY see this movie as soon as you can. If you don't love Pokemon, at least give it a try, and remember that this is not a movie about detectives, this is a movie about Pokemon.
And there are a lot of Pokemon to laugh and smile at in this movie.
