Review of Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) by Angryshark92 — 10 May 2019

Quick review, if you are a Pokémon fan, go see this movie, its fun to see all our favourite pocket monsters in a live action format working alongside humans in this fictitious place called Ryme City. I have been a fan of the series since its inception, and while the plot and acting is nothing spectacular, it was worth it just to see the art design and CGI, as well as feel the familiar feeling of nostalgia. I also have to mention that I actually thought Ryan Reynolds was good as Pikachu's voice in this and it was fun to watch.

Also, movie critics, you are all absolutely terrible. This is a Pokémon movie for Pokémon fans, not an oscar favourite for next year, I cannot believe how seriously some of you took this movie when it was made for fun, of course it won't hold up objectively. I'm surprised how much you are all complaining considering how diverse the casting was... Anyways, my point is to IGNORE THEM, they are an absolute joke nowadays.

+ Fun for all ages.

+ Great atmosphere.

+ Great CGI.

+ Some good comedy.

+ Still feels like Pokémon.

+ Pikachu is great.

+ Excellent world building.

- Subpar acting.

- Subpar writing.

- Plot pacing is all over the place.

Overall, same as I said before, if you are a Pokémon fan, then this movie is a fun and entertaining little getaway, if you are not a Pokémon fan, this story will make no sense and you will probably not appreciate it as much. This is an easy 7 for me.
