POKÉMON Detective Pikachu

The realistic textures and stuff on some of the Pokemon freak me out. Surprisingly, Mr. Mime doesn't look that creepy. The fact Pikachu sounds straight out of the games to everyone else versus Ryan Renolds speaking English is great.

 

I'm expecting this movie to be terrible, but I'll still probably go see it.

Same, and yeah I agree with you regarding Mr Mime, and its scene show in the trailer was somewhat funny.

Didn't hear any Pokemon other than pikachu say their name, so fingers crossed that they go the route of the games where that's specific to Pikachu.

 

Kinda upset that Greninja is being slandered as some kind of villain, but hey at least it's in the movie.

 

As for the animation style, it's a really bold choice, and so far I'm fond of each adaptation, so I look forward to how it is as a whole.

After rewatching the trailer some more I think I'm over it. Just had to get used to it like with the live action Battle Angel Alita. Jigglypuff's still creepy, though. But I really love how fluffy Pikachu looks, he's so cute.

 

I also like seeing the little interactions of people with Pokemon, too, like the guy cooking using the flame from his Charmander's tail.

 

I'm actually gonna change my opinion, I think it'll be good. Maybe not great, but at least good.

How did I miss this? ...was this during the Det. Pika and Tim are walking through the scene before the "Pika Pika" talk? Damn, means I'm gonna have to watch the trailer a 5th time now.

So I just saw it.

 

[spoiler My Thoughts]

Kinda unimpressed tbh. You can tell they put much more energy into the effects and the lines for Pikachu. I felt like I knew the main plot points by the fifteen minute mark; I knew what was going to happen, I just didn't know the how.

 

I think the biggest flaw for me was that I never got attached to Tim. It felt really tough to tell when stuff was in-character or out-of-character with him. It felt like it was meant to be a story of growth, but there didn't feel like there was that sense by the end. I think ultimately it was because it felt like he was acting.

 

The drama, the fake-outs, even the big twist at the end... They all kinda fell flat imo. However, a lot of the comedy and the visuals really hit home well. Even though aspects felt obvious, it was executed well and the small world building easter eggs made certain points extra enjoyable.

 

6.7/10
