Review of Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) by Overload_25 — 09 May 2019

So this will be my first review on this website and I'm really wanting to make this count. So Detective Pikachu, to begin with this movie is no master piece. The story is not anything to write about, most of the characters are quite bland other than the two main lead, and I'm sure this is definitely not a movie catered to us adults. Will we still watch anyway? hell yeah!

As somebody who has played pokemon for most of his life, other than Black/White 2 seeing all those Pokemon come to life in the big screen is a sight to behold. Granted the animation will take some time for most viewers to adjust to, but after the 20 minute mark the initial jarring feeling would have been gone by then. There were a scene or two where I could feel my eyes slowly started to water up because of how beautiful of a job the animator had done with the license. I'm not quite sure how the critics rated this movie, but I do feel that they have criticised this movie perhaps too harshly. This is definitely a movie where both newcomer can have a blast watching, and a treat for those of us who have followed this franchise ever since we were young. My advise, watch the movie and come up with your own conclusion.
