Review of Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) by Wreckingdan — 11 May 2019

Although this movies villian was absolutely unfitting and the climax was extremely dumb, this movie just oozes with charm. It really emphazises on character developement and world building. Tim and Pikachu a cleverly written and never disappoint. Some side characters like news reporter Lucy aren't that thought out, but the Pokémon are the real stars here. There's soo much effort put into this and the scene with Mr. Mime as it went on beyond what we saw in the trailer was one of the most creative and funny ideas they had. Other scenes like the fight against charizard were absolutely exciting and great. Everyone who likes Pokémon should go see this movie. Apart from the absolutely unfitting villian along with the weird final showdown this was an absolute joy to watch!

You also should know that the "professional" reviews are absolutely stupid. This is a movie especially for fans who grew up with Pokémon. You quickly notice that the bad reviews come from frumpy old people who never play videogames and simply don't understand the clever use of Pokémon or the fan service, love and care that went into this.
