But 'Pokémon Detective Pikachu' just really interested me for some reason. I couldn't even tell you what the last one I saw before this was. It's very rare that I ever watch kid's movies any more.

Reviewed by jtindahouse 6 / 10 Enough here for all ages to enjoy Unfortunately the story they're given is such a soulless jumble of subpar noise, it does these impressive CG characters no favors. Mime, Psyduck and Ditto are at the center of the story, and they are each used to fun, funny and cute effect at different times.

The story (an orphan boy joins forces with a fast-talking Pikachu to solve the death of his father and uncover a deep-state conspiracy) is crushingly unfun, and even Reynolds's spattering of out-of-place jokes land flatter than a Stunfisk. This is a supremely weird but uninspired children's film that's references are so niche even a passing fan of the franchise won't be able to 'catch 'em all'.Īnime has a history of playing in multiple genres at once, but Detective Pikachu takes the cake. And if you don't understand any of that, then stay far away. And before you get excited, those insanely disparate elements awkwardly battle each other like a Magikarp / Jynx match-up.
