Forgettable fluff with a game Ryan Reynolds. It IS kind of fun to see a story play out in the world of Pokemon that isn't just a 'trainer makes it big' tale, and there are a lot of small details that make the setting come alive.

Unfortunately, I chose to watch this movie in the hospital right before I went into labor, so it has a very weird spot in my memory, but I loved it. I wasn't sure how I was gonna feel about a live-action Pokemon movie, but Justice Smith was the perfect casting for this and Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu was *chef's kiss*. It had all the charm and suspense you feel when playing through a pokemon game or even watching the anime, which is quite an impressive feat. The story is not "original" per se, but it was amazing nonetheless.

I love Pokemon so much that even Ryan Reynolds can't drag this one down for me. Think the live-action designed are perfectly adapted for the medium. If they kept the look of this movie, but actually had a better story than Detective Pikachu, it could be one of my favorite movies of all time.

Despite being super predictable, Detective Pikachu is still a lot of fun. It delivers on some great action sequences - the Pokemon battles are truly amazing. There is nothing like seeing your favorite Pokemon come to life on screen.

While Detective Pikachu doesn't have the tightest script and has all the typical cliches of a buddy comedy where a human character is teamed up with a talking animal, the film still does an amazing job of bringing tons of Pokemon to life in a story with plenty of heart and charm. It wasn't the best adaptation Pokemon could have hoped for, but it's a film that's plenty fun to watch, nonetheless, and fans of the franchise are sure to be satisfied with what they see.

I had really low expectations for this movie, but I found it pretty enjoyable. I think Justice Smith carried a lot of the weight in what would be an otherwise bland film. It was cool to get a visual of what a world with Pokemon really would be like, even if the film's not perfect. I'm just grateful that we didn't get a Sonic moment with the animated Pikachu.

An impossibly cute, very fun Pokemon movie. Might be the best thing I've ever seen Ryan Reynolds in, though his character obviously should've been played by Danny DeVito.

I loved Detective Pikachu. As a Pokemon fan, seeing the battles and the way the different Pokemon were brought to life through animation was truly exciting. Ryan Reynolds also did a pretty good job voicing Pikachu.
