Detective Pikachu

[Sithborg]

Out next week. Like normal.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

What about ScarJo for a gender swapped Ash?

She's too old for the role.
We should get Bruce Campbell to cameo as Ash.

What about ScarJo for a gender swapped Ash?

I didn't know how bad I wanted to see her dressed in Ash's outfit until this moment.

 

[StarLord]

''PokeMom'' lol

[Orb]

Embargo dropped, reviews incoming. So far so good.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Looks like this is a step forward for video game movies.

 

[Detective Conan]

Will this be what Superman 1978 was to comic book movies?

Will this be what Superman 1978 was to comic book movies?

I don't think it will reach that height, maybe more like Revenge of the Sith to prior prequels.

That's better. Hope it breaks through to the certified fresh range.

Critic Consensus: Pokémon Detective Pikachu may not take its wonderfully bizarre premise as far as it could have, but this offbeat adaptation should catch most -- if not all -- of the franchise's fans.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

A consensus after 24 reviews... sure.

 

[Lily Adler]

I will be pleasantly surprised if this breaks the video game adaptation curse.

 

[jmc]

And it would only have taken nearly 30 years.

‘Detective Pikachu’ Review: Pokémon World Comes to Vivid Life in Disappointing Adaptation

Grade: C+

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Disappointment? Probably due to the titular pokemon not voice by Danny Devito.

A consensus after 24 reviews... sure.

I can't help it, I see the consensus on that page too.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I will be pleasantly surprised if this breaks the video game adaptation curse.

Rampage ended that “curse” last year.

 

[Silvermoth]

Visionsvision, libidoloca was clearly just talking about movies not works of art that belong in the Louvre

Looks like this is a step forward for video game movies.

Yeah that’s very interesting. I wonder what the lessons will be going forward?

[DarkKnight88]

It’s no surprise reviews are mixed.

The director ain’t exactly got the best track record.

Gulliver’s Travels and Goosebumps. And one of worst Dreamworks animated film Shark Tale.

 

[NotNickFury]

The reviews would've been worse if the human protagonist was Ash.

Because no one like Ash. But since he's not here, that's an automatic two points.
