Review of Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) by Dharma — 10 May 2019
Detective Pikachu may not be a perfect movie, but it is an entertaining romp that will delight fans of the series and ultimately takes the throne as the best adaptation of a video game created so far. Let's get to the good stuff: great rendering of your favorite POKEMON and another superb performance by Ryan Reynolds, who has another franchise in his hands beside Deadpool.
The bad stuff: it is a film that is essentially a fan service; it creates this incredible render yet it struggles to do anything to it. The story line is entertaining, yet it offers little surprises.
It is a film that is aimed at the kiddies, so you can't expect too much. It is not like the original 'Lego Movie' that elevates the material. It is a good film, but not great in my book.
