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

Good clean fun. The plot is really simplified down for the kids and the PG rating. The directing and editing are weaker than they should be, quite a few ideas are left hanging, and the early minutes of the film are mostly shots of the main character moping around aimlessly.

I'm glad to see them take such an out-on-a-limb shot with this movie, but the PG rating and the middling directing hold this film back.
