Lower than I hoped for but at least it seems like it's not shit! Hope it does well and it gets a sequel.

I feel like this is a movie critics with no Pokemon knowledge will not get. How do other Pokemon movies do for reviews?

I think this movie was probably crafted to have mass appeal

Even if you don't know much about Pokemon you can be like, well Ryan Reynolds was cute as Pikachu

I dunno, this seems like it's a lot of fun in the trailers and it takes the piss out of not only Pokemon in general but their own mystery storyline. I can't imagine what would hold it back from being more entertaining as a kid's movie.

Saw it today in Japan
It was fine, had some very weak parts sometimes (those that are not in the trailers)
But the real problem is how 90% of the jokes were in the trailers. I can only name 3-4 new jokes, the rest of the new scenes are story and action scenes (which are kinda mediocre but ok)

It's not a bad movie, just mediocre and forgettable

Aw man. :( I think the jokes in the trailer are really amusing, so it's a bummer that not many more are waiting in the wings.

Yes they are
So I think it's not very fair for me to give an opinion about this movie
Someone that didn't watch any of the trailers will probably enjoy it more
The trailers showed the entire Mr Mime scene, for example
The entire meetup between Tim and Pikachu, the entire "walking in the street scene" (the one with the "you are adorable" part) and so on

Your feelings about "Pokemon: Detective Pikachu" probably hinge on if you can tell a Squirtle from a Bulbasaur. No? Then you might not care one Jigglypuff.

... I can't tell how that is supposed to be a pun

why are people so terrible at pokepuns

It's Rampage.

Was at trivia on Wednesday night, and the three questions were:

How many non-animated Resident Evil films are there?

What's the highest rated video game film based on Rotten Tomatoes? (Rampage was the correct answer)

What video game film had the highest budget?

yeah what. you can't just insert a Pokmon name for any word lol. At least the person who wrote that it's "super effective" actually has some knowledge of the games.
