The only reason I'm giving this 4 is because I am a Die Hard Pokemon fan. So, if you guys are going to watch some cool Pokemon drama then this is must for you. The only problem is that the story is really bad even though Pikachu is eye-catching everytime he pops up on screen and Ryan Reynolds has done a wonderful job voicing him. If there would have been no Pikachu element in the film then I would have rated just 1 to it.
Detective Pikachu is wholesome ,silly fun , with solid world-building and stunning CGI Pokémon that are complemented well enough by its story. Please go and see the movie if you love a light hearted yet heart felt comedy, action sequences that stays true to what Pokémon is all about
Being a Pokemon fan, I didn't like the story line much. The acting was superb, also the VFX were amazing. The key element was missing which all the Pokemon fans know. Overall, nice movie. Worth watching atleast once. There aren’t any gasp-inducing twists or turns in Detective Pikachu; the film’s entire plot is guessable within the first 25 minutes, which isn’t surprising, considering it’s aimed at kids and tweens
Best movie to watch for Pokemon lovers. Great storyline and animations look very real especially even the Pokemons. The Pokemon world shown in the movie that should really exist in this world where humans and Pokemons live together with no Pokemon balls. A must watch movie.
Graphics are stunning with nice visuals. Movie is all about how the legendary mew2 was created by humans and saved by the world class detective. Pikachu plays a main role to help our hero to become a Pokémon lover as the main hero was afraid of Pokémons and didn't had a Pokémon partner. Story is simple yet interesting there are no boring scene in this movie and can be watched with family and small children's. It was nice to watch this movie as it reminds me the old Pokémon days where i used to imagine what if Pokémon are real, this movie is the answer they are even cuter than the animation.
Hollywood has been trying to crack the code of video game adaptations and attempting to translate the popular medium to the big screen with little successes. This movie is specially based on the 2016 game Detective Pikachu. The movie is rooted in the franchise that kicked off and rose the popularity in the mid-90s.
I will give a fair 3 out of 5.Its a 1 time watch, Reynolds performance as the overly caffeinated pikachu makes this family - friendly mystery fun for more than the die - hard fans,but its best for those who always wanted to watch pikachu on big screen. Little bit frame drops in visuals, we can expect more visuals.
As a child Pokemon was an important part of my daily life. I ever dream to have pokemon's in real life and finally in this movie i can say the story writer has brought my childhood days back and also the dream came true that in reel life pokemon can exist in real life too. Pikachu was as best he was to be. Only loved this movie because of Pikachu and too in a detective theme. Others too ok.
Great movie. Nice initiative of introducing Pokemon stories in a different way. As usual Ryan Reynolds was good in Pikachu. Story could be made a little better as other Pokemon should be given more roles. but it's a Pikachu journey and everyone will love it
I've loved Pokémon my whole life and was most excited about Pokemon developments since Pokemon Go. Whilst there is nothing to hate about the film I couldn't describe it as more than reasonably good and mildly enjoyable movie where as I was hoping to be blown away throughout. Having said that I'm excited to see where the franchise goes movie wise in the future as it certainly has potential.
The movie is excellent and was funny. If you are a pokemon fan you are going to love this. You can watch this even if you are new to pokemon. The movie is animated film, CGI was the main highlight of the movie. They pulled it off excellently, kudos to the guys out there. The visuals are excellent adding to the perfection of good story which is gripping thought out the movie. Children would enjoy the movie. A must watch family flick.
The movie was fantastic. To be perfectly honest at the begining the acting was a little bit un convincing as if it was a made for tv movie however as time went it became more realistic and immersive like the visuals of the movie. The soundtrack was excellent. Without spoilers i will say i was overall surprised on how well the movie was. I went in for the nostalgia but came out with more which is what i hope to happen when i watch these movies based off of major franchises. I dont know if id ever see the sonic movie even though i love Jim Carrey. But i definitely recommend this movie for all ages weither your a pokemon geek or know little to nothing about pokemon. Warning their is a bit of adult humour however the movie is still family and kid friendly
Being a Pokemon fan for many years I was very hesitant when the trailer first came out and especially with the stigma around video games getting movie adaptions that never work out but in this case THEY DELIVERED! Ryan Reynolds once again continues to deliver amazing comedy while also tugging at our heartstrings in serious moments.The storyline for the movie was great and Rita Ora was a great adaption to the movie, her part as the scientist was surprising well given the common fact that not many singers can't act but I was pleasantly happy, hoping to see her more. The movie itself has an amazing storyline that I won't give away, the real life adaptions of the Pokemon are beautiful and it's almost exactly how I'd imagine them if they were in the real world, the effects are amazing!
Detective Pikachu is a super effective hit to our nostalgia beats, with great visuals, good acting, Easter eggs for the Eagle eyed fans and gives a world we want to see more of. The creators clearly put effort into making this happen and clearly have respect for the franchise that has been a great part of so many childhoods while also pleasing the general audiences, kids and adults alike.
The movie is light hearted yet heart-felt comedy, action sequences with stunning CGI that stays true to what Pokemon is all about.something else to mention is that the CGI is stunning. Whoever developed the movie put a lot of money into the overall design, texturing, colour, movement, everything was incredible and so life like that just looking at the way the Pokemon world blends in with reality makes you feel like you're actually there yourself.
Detective Pikachu definitely hit that nostalgia button. I definitley enjoyed the story, had its sweet moments and some great jokes some couple adult ones for the older crowd. The story was a little fast paced, but I appreciated it, I didnt need an explaination of what a pokemon is. I believe a majority of people watching this movie has an idea of pokemon and the pokemon world. The CGI was on point giving the pokemon a realistic look. Overall just a good wholesome movie.
Old memories refreshed after watching this movie. Pikachu character is so good and it always entertains kids and teens. Must watch movie - the direction, story, visuals all were good and i give it 3.5 out of 5. Go watch it before it is replaced on cinema
One of the favorite characters from childhood comes to life and is backed by the awesome ryan renolds,what else do we need.The movie is a great one,fun to watch and reminds me of my childhood.I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to everyone to watch.
The Pokémon designs are great as are the movie set pieces. The actors do a great job and although the movie plot is a little predictable, and the twist is easily guessed before the movie actually reveals it, it great family fun. Tons of nostalgia in this movie for fans of the games and anime. The music is especially powerful when it draws from its game and tv history.
I won't deny it when I say that this film wouldn't be good without Ryan Reynolds, his back must be killing him. The acting is "meh" and the story is predictable for the most part, but I won't deny the film of it's fantastic cgi for most of the pokemon and it's great world building.
I loved this movie because it had many emotional moments that are nailed perfectly with great character development - infact it's a perfect family movie . The story revolves around a person Tim Goodman and his father's Pokemon partner detective Pikachu looking for Tim's missing father. It's still a great movie and an excellent way to introduce Pokemon to the general audience . Definitely it's a must watch !!
VFX is good not great, but Pikachu VFX is better than the rest of Pokemon. Its family movie that you enjoy watching with your loved ones. Story is different form the cartoon series, it is a nice surprise. In the end its good movie, will not give any spoilers go and watch the movie with your family you will definitely love it, especially the kids.
The cast is solid, with Justice Smith and Kathryn Newton both appealing in the lead roles, while Ryan Reynolds steals the show as Pikachu, combining his trademark humor with some brilliant CGI to make you wish all Pokemon sounded like him. Behind the camera, director Rob Letterman adapts the video game brilliantly, at least at the beginning, with pitch perfect recreations of all the classic Pokemon, along with natural ways they would interact with the world.
The most impressive thing about this movie is that this movie focuses on downsides of living in that world,while the games and anime focuses on the joy of living in a Pokémon world. This movie focuses on Tim Goodman and his father's Pokémon partner Detective Pikachu looking for Tim's missing father and unearthing a conspiracy that threatens the Pokémon world. Overall the movie is good and I recommend you to go with your families.
It was an amazing experience watching this movie with kids. Generally any kids movie only have some fun and animations but this will really make kids think. Wonderful story and twists. Haven't watched a movie like this in recent times. Kids thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the movie and we kept discussing even after we were back home.
This movie is not related to anime at all - it is based on a Ryme city where people & Pokémon live with harmony until things gets weird.Acting was good specifically Pikachu's cuteness & badassness with Ryan Reynolds voice is epic treat to watch with all comedy & expressions. It's a must watch for Pokémon fans.
Best and the most awaited movie after Avengers end game is all time favorite Pikachu and the Pokemons! Its a fun filled movie with lots of funny dialogues, screenplay is just awesome, Pikachu looks cute! The visuals are astonishing and the story is rocking with addition to all different Pokemon coming and reminding you of this. Great work director!
An outstanding film that perfectly balances it's humour with a whole lot of heart, would highly recommend taking kids to it, as long as they know a bit about Pokémon, and despite the fact that the plot gets slightly convoluted near the end it still succeeds in being an amazing family movie.
Ryan Reynolds once again continues to deliver amazing comedy while also tugging at our heartstrings in serious moments.The storyline for the movie was great and Rita Ora was a great adaption to the movie, her part as the scientist was surprising well given the common fact that not many singers can't act but I was pleasantly happy, hoping to see her more.
This animation film is a feast for kids who like to watch Pokemon. First part of its series was a good one and it was worth waiting for further parts. The movie has more comedy than the cartoon series it had. The story starts with harry goodman missing mysteriously and his son searching for him. In the mean time how the former partner Pokemon helped in the search forms part of the story. CGI is stunning and through out the movie the audience will feel the comedy is never missed.Good watch ..
The best videogame movie so far and its a dream come true for Pokemon fans. Story is gripping and funny. Ryan Reynolds voice is perfect for Pikachu. CGI of all the Pokemon is great. All Pokemon look so cute and loving and some easter eggs that only pokemon fans can understand. A perfect family comedy movie and a pleasant surprise at last. Go for it !!
LOVED IT! The story was good, I liked the characters, the Pokemon were really cute, good special effects and everything was perfect ! I heard some people saying beforehand that they didn't enjoy it a lot when they went to see it and so I went in with lower expectations than I originally had but it was really good! I really liked it and I hope to see more Pokemon movies in the future like how this was made, with the Pokemon all realistic and stuff. A Pokemon Mystery Dungeon movie would be absolutely fantastic, not to mention a great way for them to hype up a new Mystery Dungeon game when they make one; I'm sure the release of this movie has boosted sales of the Detective Pikachu game (which is available on the 3DS eShop for anyone interested that can't get a hold of a physical copy). TL;DR, I loved it. Please, please go see it, your future self will be very happy you did.
What a treat for Pokeman fans - bringing Pokemon to life. As a fan of Pokemon and lifelong fan of the franchise - couldnt be more happier to see it translated on the big screen. Transforming a video game character to a movie script is no mean feat and despite a predictable script, it holds well and really comes across as a well directed movie. Huge fan of Ryan Reynolds and he hasnt disappointed here. He is hilarious and amazing as always as Pikachu :) Of the cast everyone was good and CGI was impressive too. So to end - story is warm not great, acting is awesome and the visuals are a spectacle !! Go watch it with your families and have a good time !
This movie was funny and excellently directed. The action scenes were perfect. The CGI was the main talking point, a lot of pain and hard work must have been put through which delivered it results. The movie will be a delight even to non Pokémon fans - It is made in such a way. I think - this movie will appeal to children very much. Ryan Reynolds did a fantastic job. The movie is a must watch, if you love funny, comedy, light hearted movies.
If you are a Pokemon fan - then this movie is a must watch visual treat and pure entertainment for you.Ryan Reynolds did an awesome job and the entire story is focused around the world of Pokemon.It will be enjoyed mostly by kids and also fans of Pokemon. Watch it as soon as you can if you are fan of Pokemon :)
Detective Pikachu is an animated movie based on Ash's Pokemon Pikachu. This movie is specifically directed and made for the young adult and kids obviously. I am sure there are many Pokemon fans who are willing to watch this movie. Amazing story with the some awesome animations - Go watch if you are Pokemon fan :)
This movie will surely bring back your childhood memories and it is made so well that a person can feel that he is in the real world of Pokemon.The movie is funny emotional thriller with suspense and it's a powerhouse of these factors.In all a great movie that can be watched by everyone from kids to adults
