Detective Pikachu Reviews Are Up, See What Critics Are Saying
After over two decades of video games, trading cards and animated TV shows and movies, Pokemon is finally making the jump to the live action realm with Pokemon: Detective Pikachu. The movie is arriving in theaters this weekend, but as is usually the case, numerous critics were able to see the movie early. Following the initial social media reactions, Pokemon: Detective Pikachu reviews are now pouring in, and the reception towards the first live action Pokemon movie is fairly mixed.
Starting, CinemaBlends own Dirk Libbey had a more mixed view towards Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, giving it 3 stars out of 5 stars in his review and saying that while you dont need to be a Pokemon expert to enjoy the movie, it doesnt hurt. Dirk complimented the look of Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, but noted that its filled with over-exposition about details concerning each major Pokemon, and the story leaves a lot to be desired, though its clear that Ryan Reynolds had a lot of fun voicing the titular Pikachu.
While exposition is ham-handed and motivations are far from clear, there's a charm in Detective Pikachu that is undeniable. Seeing these creatures come to life is going to be a blast for fans, and while some of the references to the franchise might be lost on non-fans, Ryan Reynolds' charisma combined with seeing one lovingly crafted Pokemon creature after another will likely carry you through.
AV Clubs Jesse Hassenger was also more critical towards Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, giving it a C-. In Jesses opinion, the movie fails to effectively mix the classic Pokemon mythology with noir tropes, which is especially unfortunate for Kathryn Newtons Lucy Stevens. Ultimately, Pokemon: Detective Pikachu settles into the generic rhythms of a second-tier 80s cop moviein other words, noir for dummies, though the Pokemon at least look good in their half-realistic, half-cartoony CG.
The movie tries to sound like a comedy (especially when Reynolds is talking), look like a noir, and act like a big summer blockbuster. It ends up a whole lot of cute, branded nothingwatchable junk for young adults of tomorrow to look back on with inordinate fondness.
On the more positive end of the spectrum, Dan Casey from Nerdist gave Pokemon: Detective Pikachu 4 out of 5 stars, calling it a super effective story that helps break the video game movie curse. Boasting eticulous visual effects wizardry, a delightfully dry sense of humor, and an abiding love of pulp and noir, Pokemon: Detective Pikachu gives audiences a world where these Pocket Monsters feel like living, breathing creatures.
While Detective Pikachu doesnt reinvent the wheel in terms of storytelling, it has managed the seemingly impossible of creating a deeply satisfying and fully realized world based on something with so much fan expectation and preconceived notions attached to it.
Back to mixed territory, Empires Olly Richards stamped Pokemon: Detective Pikachu with 3 out of 5 stars. In Ollys eyes, the movies plotting is pretty shoddy, in that it doesnt clearly establish the rules of Pokemon and full of characters monologuing about whats happening and what will happen. The saving grace is Ryan Reynolds performance as Pikachu, as his lines are sharp, silly and knowing.
Its impossible to overstate how much this film owes to Ryan Reynolds. Even if you dont understand Pikachus world, everyone can understand a great joke superbly delivered.
Chris Nashawaty from Entertainment Weekly gave Pokemon: Detective Pikachu a C+, calling it narratively incoherent to the point of being almost avant-garde. If youre already a Pokemon fan, youll appreciate the movie much more than someone going in with barely any familiarity with the franchise.
As the wisecracking voice of Pikachu, Ryan Reynolds deserves some sort of special citation for doing the best he can without Deadpools f-bombs (or a decent script) to lean on. But the main problem is that the films gumball-mayhem plot is so frenetic that its impossible to determine if it makes a lick of sense. Maybe that was the point.
The Hollywood Reporters Michael Rechtshaffen was among the critics who took a more positive stance on Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, saying that writer/director Rob Lettermans energetic direction, Ryan Reynolds world-weary Pikachu and Justice Smiths necessarily reactive performance are just enough to make this an enjoyable cinematic offering.
Those anticipating another Golden Raspberry-worthy contender like last years The Happytime Murders, another spoof of classic pulp fiction, can park their preconceived notions at the door. It turns out Pokemon Detective Pikachu isnt half bad.
Finally, IGNs Joshua Yehl awarded Pokemon: Detective Pikachu an 8 out of 10 score, complementing how well animated the Pokemon are and how they feel like a natural part of the world. The storytelling isnt entirely up to par, but this is somewhat balanced out by a layered sense of humor thats willing to poke fun at itself and paves the way for some deep-cut references.
Detective Pikachu mixes humor, heart, and gloriously-rendered Pokmon to deliver a simple yet entertaining time.
These are just a sampling of the Pokemon: Detective Pikachu reviews available now, so feel free to read what other people thought of the movie elsewhere on the internet. However, working off these examples, Pokemon: Detective Pikachu falls right in the middle when it comes to critical reception. Theres definitely enough for longtime Pokemon fans to enjoy, and some newbies might also be entertained, but there are definitely various issues that prevent this movie from being exceptional.
Looking to the commercial side of things, Pokemon: Detective Pikachu was predicted last month to open between $75-$90 million, so it wont be much longer until we learn whether it meets, exceeds or falls short of those expectations. Assuming it is a critical success, Warner Bros already has a Detective Pikachu sequel in the works, and theres the potential for this film series to evolve into a cinematic universe.
You can judge Pokemon: Detective Pikachu for yourself starting this weekend, but if youre more curious about what movies will be arriving later in 2019, you can look through our handy release schedule for that information. Be sure to stay tuned to CinemaBlend for any updates concerning the future of Pokemon on the silver screen.

Back to the Future has one of the most memorable movie scores, thanks to the genius of Alan Silvestri. Happy Death Day 2U composer Bear McCreary puts musical nods to Silvestri's score all over his sequel, though the most obvious is the twinkly, stars-falling music that happens at the :25 second moment of the above clip.

As such, the question of whether McQuarrie would consider directing Man of Steel 2 naturally came up during his social media Q&A: While there's no indication McQuarrie is being considered for the job (it was a fan suggestion after all), he has already been linked to the DCEU a couple of times in the past.

This is one of those movies that was planned before Justice League happened, and while it isn't necessarily deceased in the water, but I also don't see it showing up anytime soon. Just let me have my buddy-cop Flash and Cyborg movie happen please. At the very least, we'll be getting the character in the Doom Patrol series later this year!
