I couldn't even tell you what the last one I saw before this was. It's very rare that I ever watch kid's movies any more. Reviewed by jtindahouse 6 / 10 Enough here for all ages to enjoy Unfortunately the story they're given is such a soulless jumble of subpar noise, it does these impressive CG characters no favors. Mime, Psyduck and Ditto are at the center of the story, and they are each used to fun, funny and cute effect at different times. They've not only committed to the world, but this movie certainly does its due diligence to capture these unique monsters with technical care. His arc is so forced I left the movie questioning why any of the story even happened.ĭie-hard Pokemon fans seem to be finding enjoyment here, and I'd never deny them that. I can't remember the last time I cared less about a group of characters, especially the lead wet-blanket of a human played by the usually charming Justice Smith.
The story (an orphan boy joins forces with a fast-talking Pikachu to solve the death of his father and uncover a deep-state conspiracy) is crushingly unfun, and even Reynolds's spattering of out-of-place jokes land flatter than a Stunfisk. This is a supremely weird but uninspired children's film that's references are so niche even a passing fan of the franchise won't be able to "catch 'em all".Īnime has a history of playing in multiple genres at once, but Detective Pikachu takes the cake. And if you don't understand any of that, then stay far away. And before you get excited, those insanely disparate elements awkwardly battle each other like a Magikarp / Jynx match-up. If you took the dark, neon-lit streets of Blade Runner, filled them with Pokemon, then littered a dramatic mystery plot with Roger Rabbit humor, you'd have Pokemon Detective Pikachu. Reviewed by matthewssilverhammer 3 / 10 Pokemon Don't Go. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City-a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world-they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Aiding in the investigation is Harry's former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself.
The story begins when ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened.
