Detective Pikachu

Like everyone else no one on Yea Forums saw it

It was so fucking obvious Jesus Christ this movie was made for babies. They basically just stole this plot twist from Coco. Do you just turn your brain off?

it was alright, should have stuck with the ending of the game though. Where the dad is Pikachu, but he can't turn back to human, because the human body is dead, and Pikachu gave up his body for the dad so Pikachu is actually the one that died. they killed their chances for a sequel, I know one is in the works, but it's not going to be the same if PIkachu doesn't sound like deadpool anymore.

Mewtwo spin off will probably be pretty kino.

game ending was better, how does the movie with a darker tone, have less stakes than the extremely childish game?

Pikachu is the dad in the game too, but he's not turning back to human because there his body is rotting corpse, and pikachu was essentially the one who actually died and he doesn't actually tell Tim which is pretty fucked up. they are still searching for Tim's dad at the end

The dad died in the crash but Mewtwo let him live inside the Pikachu at the cost of the Pikachu becoming amnesiac, and rebuilds his body when they separate the two. He needed the kid for this. This is why the Pikachu can talk to both the kid and Pokemon.

Kek

DETECTIVE PIKACHAD!!!!

The CGI isn't any different, they just picked good models

Not the best movie of the year, but enjoyable enough to leave you satisfied.

No different from any other direct-to-video kids movie from 2007, save for better production values and an even more irritating sense of humor.

I could have been better, but it could have also been worse, at least I didn't feel like I wasted my money, the Pokemon variation was a little low, by the end I was seening the same few guys everywhere

>The CGI isn't any different

Wtf are you smoking, nigger? An 8 year old film with the she actor had more convincing CGI than Sonic. It doesn't even come close to the Pokemon CGI.

Just left the theater. Best video game movie ever. Kids loved it too. Shits all over Endgame

anyone have a link? or a goto website
?

Dumb fun, emphasise on dumb.

Story went to shit real quick. It was beautiful to watch though, so it’s forgivable.
Every mon looked great except a few exceptions (mainly Gengar).
Overall it reminded me of Venom: it felt like it was made 10 years ago, but it came out just on the right time to be sensible about the respect of the source material, at least (and mostly) visually.

I liked it
Like everyone else said, could have been better
Im not into pokemon so it was easy to follow, didn't realize how emotional or attached pokemon are to their partners. I thought they were just like useful pets, so that reveal was unexpected.
It would have been nice to see more pokemon though, the underground pokemon fight scene was probably my favorite after the mime one

would have been better for his dad's body to be destroyed since then they don't have to come up with an awkward reason for the dad to become detective pikachu again (it'll be to understand other pokemon). but I get it, they want to up the transhumanism aspect of changing into a powerful pokemon.

looks more like a teddy bear than a real creature

But it looks like a real teddy bear, which combined with the insane amount of work put into the environment makes it look like a tangible part of the world.

ash and pikachu have always been really close to the point where pikachu loves ketchup because ash's last name is ketchum

other people and their pokemon kinda vary in terms of closeness

Why did he wipe Pikachus memory other than LOL PLOT REASONS

The scene with the ditto at the end of the movie had me cracking up, had to explain to my wife about how that was an entire episode of the anime back in the day

>REEE PLOTHOLES!
Calm down autist, It's a kids movie

couldn't fit all the information of a human brain in the brain of a mouse so some of it was left out?

he looked into all potential futures like doctor strange in infinity war and knew that wiping pikachu's memory was the only way to get tim goodman to help pikachu on the case

Worth it if you have pokemon nostalgia

Just an OK movie if you don't. I think they should have either let Ryan Reynolds stand out more or not have cast him in the first place

Have sex

pikachu a cute

>the most special and relatable Pokémon is only that way because his consciousness is human
Shits on all the emotion from the series. Good job Hollywood.

Just came back from it. Very cute and fun. I feel like I was the only single but also the only one who grew up with it. I was the only one who chuckled at the line about Magikarp because I remember how shit he was in the games too.

>especially with a friend. I know I did.

i don't watch movies with blacks in the main cast

serviceable movie.
Mr. Mime scene was 10/10 tho

Im a big fan of Pokémon and i did not like this movie. Story and acting is very "meh". Alot of people say that this movie broke the "Videogame movie curse", which isn't really true in my opinion.

The Pokémon look very good tho and i still look forward to more Pokékino.

Do they even teach you manchildren what sex is or do they just figure that you'll never need that info?

Magickarp is so easy to buddy level though and once you do he's easily the most OP water Pokemon in the game pre end game.

Literally the best video game movie ever adapted/made. I know that's not saying much, but still true none the less.
As for as a stand alone movie. Solid 8/10.

Could have had more action and more pokemon, especially from the original 150. I mean there was a lot of pokemon on screen, but you couldn't take in all of them in the 2 second passing they were on screen.
Also A LOT of Pokemon were reused or in groups of the same pokemon over and over. Its more realistic that certain pokemon would be more common and used in society like Growlithe and Charmander than say Pincer or Shellder. But its still disappointing to not see the pokemon you wanted to see.
For me, I wanted to see: Vulpix, Ninetails, Zubat, Golbat, Dratini, Dragonaire, and Dragonite, but they weren't in it. Or if they were they weren't noticeable.

Also the story could have been a bit better.
I'm going to put your brains in Pokemon's bodies was a dumb end game
And not to be mean but the Justice Smith and Kathryn Newton were shit actors, and badly written.
Especially Kathryn Newton, she was straight cringey.
>I CAN SMELL A STORY!
Fuck off.

But the CGI was good, other top actors in it were good. And they didn't butcher or fuck up shit from the game, not anymore that the Marvel MCU does to its comic source material.

That's a good way to describe the movie. Its basically the MCU of video game movies.

I guess so, but it's still a well-worn old joke that he sucks. I think that's what they were referencing.

>A LOT of Pokemon were reused or in groups of the same pokemon over and over
this, there's literally a charmander in every scene

So what's the general plot ?
I read the spoiler posts on here about the dad and all but how do they get there?

Was mediocre/bad

>nearly all the realistic pokemon looked like shit
>the acting from the main girl was HORRIBLE
>the "twists" were way too obvious (I guess because the movie was made for children)
>the villains plan was stupid and made little sense
>most of the entire plot doesn't feel organic in the slightest. It just felt like a series of scenes they wanted to have and they let the retarded intern write how these set-pieces are connected

FUCK the ending

>Have sex

stop posting this shit newfag

the main characters dad is missing and he teams up with a pikachu that only he can understand and wacky hijinks ensue

with ryan reynolds quips every other sentence

>with ryan reynolds quips every other sentence

This drove me fucking nuts and I was tempted to walk out of the theater. When they were being chased by Aipoms or whatever, it's like a 10 minute scene and Ryan Reynolds literally talks and quips the entire time. It gets slightly less obnoxious over time but that scene was a nightmare.

How nice of Ryan Reynolds to highhandedly write, shoot, and star in this movie. He truly is the second coming of Christ.

Well fuck, Gengar is my favorite 'mon and the only image I could find is this.
Please tell me this is fake and they didn't give him human teeth.

They gave him human teeth and he looks just as ugly as that image. They also give Mewtwo human teeth and that also looks hilariously bad

>Its basically the MCU of video game movies.
wtf does that supposed to mean?
Is it bad like Thor: Dark World or what, you're comparing 1 movie to 22 movies.

t. Thanos

How was that a twist? The trailer gave it away.
>Character 1: My dad is missing.
>Character 2: I have amnesia
HMM, I WONDER WHERE CHARACTER 1'S DAD IS?

Why didn't Tim recognize his own dads voice?

Have sex

Why did everything in this movie feel so forced and unnatural? And why didn't Tim notice his dad's voice was the same as detective Pikachu's? And why are there jokes about taking drugs in a Pikachu movie? And who the fuck is this film even made for? The dogshit anime Pokémon films that I watched when I was 9 had me more emotionally invested in its characters than this boring ass piece of advertising.

Ryan Reynolds has a very forgettable voice.

Fun movie if you're a fan. It doesn't try to be anything else than a fanservice fest and a kid's movie so yeah it's good I guess

I thought it was pretty good. Justice (the mutt actor) I thought was terrible in most scenes though and really drags things down. Drop him in the sequel for the love of god.

>all those scenes where the actors didn't know where to look or were very obviously brushing cgi air

Why did this need to be live-action again?

Is the Quag in it? I loved pissing people off when I spammed him in pvp after school.

I enjoyed it. The BMWF love interest and WMBF parents of Tim made my inner /pol/ flare up, as did Pikachu's climate change joke. Other than that, it was a good movie.

Yeah Mewtwo looks shit when he talked at the end. Shoulda just stuck to telepathic speech like when he first talks. Gengar looked like shit too. Way too small and JUSTed face. The rest look pretty decent though. The only other issue I had was animation wise. Greninja was poorly animated, they were running upright which looked retarded. Shoulda just copied the Smash Bros running animation.

I can’t believe Mr. Mime is fucking dead!

RIP

TELL ME WHY THE FUCK THEY DIDN'T PLAY SOME EPIC POKÉMON SONG DURING PIKACHU VS MEWTWO

Give me a fucking convincing answer because I just lost a 20 dollars bet, I was so fucking sure the climax would be epic with either the opening, the main Kanto theme or the battle ost playing during it, but nothing happened. I DON'T EVEN CARE SBPRG THE NKNEY RJOS FGZD WASTED CJABDE

Thought they were gonna waterboard the poor dude

Watched it a few hours ago. Pure kino IMO, don't know why people have any major problems with it, I thought the acting did the job and the writting was really good. Nice of them to include two potential villains so I could keep guessing which of them really is the bad guy and what the twist is going to be only for it to be fucking Ditto. Only point I thought was iffy was when the main character was incredibly emotionally distressed and clearly shouldn't be left alone and his love interest decides she's just going to back to the car and leave him alone with a dying Pikachu. Bitch, what the fuck?

>tfw they had a perfect song to play but they relegated it to the credits

Mewtwo breaks free, seemingly kills tosses Dad's care off the road. Kid gets a call that dad is dead. Kid goes to dad's apartment to collect/clear out shit. Mom died when he was a kid. Annoying CNN intern with a Psyduck tries to question kid. Dad worked too much and kid stayed with Grandma. Dad's Pikachu is there. Kid can understand Pikachu. Kid finds vile with purple gas, releases it out window where Aipom inhale. Aipom become rabid and attack. City was made for human pokemon harmony by dad from Sean of the Dead (SOTDD). SOTDD owns everything from the news to business in city. SOTDD is in a wheelchair and has left most control to his son who is corrupt. Kid and Pikachu go to illegal Pokemon cage fight where purple gas is used as steroids. Kid and Intern go to lab Mewtwo escaped from. Video reveals Dad helped track Mewtwo and lab captured Mewto. Purple vial gas is made from Mewtwo. Corrupt Son releases pokemon in lab to attack. Psyduck releases headache powers. All the ground is made of colossal Torteras. Pikachu gets hurt. Mewtwo heals him. Turns out Pikachu let Mewtwo out. Mewtwo is recaptured by Corrupt Son. Pikachu blames himself and leaves Kid. Kid tells SOTDD everthing. Turns out Corrupt Son isn't bad guy, its SOTDD. SOTDD tried to kill Dad with Greninja hit squad when Dad was gonna bust him. All bad things Corrupt son was doing was SOTDD's Ditto. Corrupt Son was tied up in a closet. SOTDD makes neural transmitter for Mewtwo, Mewtwo Avatar. Parade balloons are filled with gas. When pokemon are rabid, Mewtwo can put human brains (and bodies) into Pokemon. Pikachu fights Mewtwo. Kid fights Ditto. Gases Ditto. Removes transmitter. Mewtwo Deus Ex Machinas and pulls people out of pokemon. Turns out Dad was inside Pikachu all along. Mewtwo put dad in Pikachu in order to save Dad's life after the car accident. RL Ryan Reynolds is Dad. Kid moves in with dad. Nothing after credits.

My favorite scene was where Lucy was staring blankly and not emoting at all. I guess that's a spoiler though because that's all she ever does.

>Dr. Evil's evil plan needed the gas to fuse pokemon and people
>also Mewtwo could fuse pikachu and dad without it

Nani?

Thanks for the quick rundown, sounds like trash. I'll probably catch it when the dvd rip is out though.

So, Holding Out For a Hero does not play? fuck

Pikachu singing the original theme song was pretty funny

See, that comments fake, because she emotes at least once when they are at the cafe and she drops all her stuff and hits Tim's head accidentally, and that shit's cute. The whole movie is cute really.

Fusing them normally clearly doesn't work as well though, since Tim's dad lost his memory doing the fusion. The way I understood it, in order to do it in mass to whole crowds of people and reliably, they needed the pokemon to be in R first.

meant for

Literally movie of the year.

This was an even bigger letdown than the original soundtrack not playing.

Happy Together doesn't play either. The entire soundtrack is only original tunes by Harry Goodman, but he does remixes the Red & Blue Theme for the credits sequence.

Meant to say Henry Jackman, ah fuck the names are mixing in my brain.

what kind of teeth were you expecting?

>Only point I thought was iffy was when the main character was incredibly emotionally distressed and clearly shouldn't be left alone and his love interest decides she's just going to back to the car and leave him alone with a dying Pikachu. Bitch, what the fuck?
Did you miss the part where the Bulbasaurs didn't allow her to follow them, only Tim and his Pikachu were allowed?

I did. I didn't notice them stopping her or recoilling away from her, they just stood there and waited for Tim to follow them didn't they?

So what happens to Pikachu in the sequel now?

Exactly. Canonically the pokemon world is supposed to be a post scarcity utopia where no one wants for anything and all problems have been solved so people can just spend all their time doing things with pokemon.

>they are still searching for Tim's dad at the end

Holy shit that's kind of fucked up. Like yeah, let's keep hope alive man!

No the girl started walking with them and the bulbasaurs kind of moved their faces together to show she couldn't come

Me and my childson clone enjoyed it. I thought gengar looked badass in that little part.

Yes, I am literally comparing 1 movie to 22 movies.
Its not completely faithfull to the game, just like MCU isn't completely faithful to the comics.
They had good and shit casting choices.
They squeezed in "diversity".
It had quips and jokes every few minutes like the MCU.
The CGI was MCUish quality.
I can't compare it to just one MCU movie, because honestly I'd say most of them are equal. Some think Dark World is the worst. I think Hulk is the worst.

IMO, I'd say Detective Pikachu is somewhere between Ironman 3 at the lowest and Thor Ragnarok at the Highest.

I don't think he did wipe Pikachu's memory. I think Dad lost his memory in the accident and his memory was mixing with Pikachu's memory .

It's alright. As far as video game movies go it's better than Mario Brothers, Tomb Raider, Doom and the shit show that is the new Sonic movie.

I hated Gengar's face. I admit it was realistic, but I hated it.

I really doubt it's gonna be a direct sequel and continuation of that story so much as another live action Pokemon film set in the same continuity.

But I want more Ditto Waifu....

>Red & Blue Theme for the credits sequence
I don't get why it's not in the soundtrack CD. Need someone to record it because I want it bad.

fpbp

It was fucking amazing.

It was fun

Third act was a little weak, but fun overall. Script was okayish, but the performances were great.

7.5/10 with nostalgia goggles. 6/10 without

It was garbo. The good reception on here is pure contrariness.

Electric daddy

if the climate change is a natural phenomenon, it would be a thing .

Saw it today it's alright.
It was a fun, simple mystery story with great looking Pokemon and a believable world.
I just wish they ditched some of the dumb action film tropes and explained more of the villains goals. Also the last 20 mins. were pretty lame.

Just saw it today, this is false.

They are already confirmed working on direct sequel before the movie even came out.

I just got back from watching it. Overall, I say it's a mix of average/interesting. The average plot was easy to follow, and the CGI pokemon kept me somewhat interested throughout the movie. I'm not a pokefag nor am I interested in Pokemon. I gave my pokemon cards, the lady who collected ticket stubs gave me, to my friend since I wouldn't know how to play Pokeshit (HURR DURR, YOU COULD HAVE SOLD THEM LATER AND MAKE BUX) fuck that shit. I give it a 6.5/10.
youtube.com/watch?v=eULRL9oSuhM

You mean contrarianism?

I don't think so. A lot of people saw it, had fun, were reminded of the pokemon they loved as kids (regardless of whether they are kids today), and liked it as a result. Liked. Not loved. Reviews are mixed leaning positive but not stellar, which seems appropriate.

Reminder that as a video game movie the bar was set incredibly fucking low for this movie going in.

Don't go apeshit over $20 dude. Life moves on. Make better choices.

C'mon user, it'd be too spicy. Kids can't see R-rated movies.

It was pretty good. Great for a video game or anime movie, but just good overall if you know what you're getting yourself into. The constant Ryan Reynolds quips can be grating and the romantic subplot thankfully doesn't encompass the plot. In fact it doesn't really go anywhere, just adds a cute dynamic to the character interactions. Decent twists as well as obvious ones. 8/10

I think most people knew what happened to the dad just by guessing but the twist villain was actually pretty clever.

Makes him look scary. You know like hes supossed to be.

Does this mvoie have team Rocket appearence? Any other references to cartoon/game?

I think the chemical R was supposed to reference team rocket

>Alot of people say that this movie broke the "Videogame movie curse", which isn't really true in my opinion.

I thought this movie was a solid 6/10, but jesus man, have you actually seen any video game movies?
This movie is the fucking Citizen Kane of video game adaptations, it's not even close.

I have super low expectation to begin with that I'm satisfied with anything better than DB Evo or Last Airbender.

Went to see it today because my girl really wanted to. I was entertained. As long as you don't go in full nerdblast faggot critic it's a good movie

He does have human teeth in the movie, but I mean
It's accurate

Just got back from seeing this it's a pretty decent movie, there were a few plot holes that I'm not going to critically judge the movie for because, well, it's a fucking pokemon movie. The CGI was really good actually and was pretty cool seeing what they could do with it to bring Pokemon to "life" so to say. It was actually very well short too.

For the most part though it was not very funny, and it's not really a Pokemon movie. The best way I would describe this is, its a buddy cop detective movie with pokemon.

Is it kino? No, is it a good flick to watch for entertainment? Yes, even if you are not a Pokemon nerd

Oh also forgot, wtb the Dany deveto version of this movie

Man, you summed up all my gripes with the Pokemon perfectly. I was hyped to see Gengar, but i ended up hating him a lot. Mewtwo looked great until they decided to make him open his mouth to talk and then it became awkward as fuck. Greninja looked absolutely fantastic with just the right amount of creepy, but when it came to the chase sequence they gave them some wonky as fuck animations that made it clear that the animators have never seen a frog move. How hard is it to have him jumping and zipping around like a motherfucker instead of giving them a default blender run animation and making the fastest starter move slow as molasses? It all left a sour taste, but i still enjoyed the movie.

>wow this movie is awesome and epic guys, the first good videogame movie!
>what, why are you bringing up the shitty writing? were you expecting it to be good or something??

A lot of its related to how all Pokemon were designed for the movie leading to them tending to lean into keeping them from smear framing too much.

It knows what it is, and is executed well enough to keep parents entertained as well.

I kinda want to live in that city. Getting street ramen with my Asian qt gf Jigglypuff.

Models are literally what being generated. Or are you saying they motion captured real life Pikachu?

I have to wait until next week to watch it because it's the only time my friends will all be free to watch it.

FUCK NINTENDO

I expected this movie to suck a LOT more than it did, I ended up really enjoying it.

Why didn't Thanos just snap to double the food?
Why didn't Harry just kill all the bad guys before they could do their shit?
Why doesn't anyone call the police in movies?
There always has to be some plothole to make a movie work since there will always be a logical answer to every movie problem that would lead to there being no movie.

>tfw no giant torterra

None of what you said is a plot hole. What happened in Pikachu is the entire point of the movie. Thanos would still be a threat no matter what his goal was.

Why did he give him amnesia?

Thanos wouldn't be a threat if he literally just gave people double food

Detective Pikachu? More like Defective Pikachu.

Literally the only good scene in the entire movie was the Mr. Mime scene which was pure pokekino. Everything else was awful. Awful acting. Awful writing. Awful CGI.

Ryan Reynolds was alright.

He still needs to kill Vision. Also just think about what you said. Double food? Double food for all living things? Does this food not have an expiration date? Does double food not exponentially increase the rate of the initial problem? Does double food solve overcrowding?

There are just as many inconveniences with double food. In fact, his whole schtick could just be "I want to kill everyone, just for fun". His motivation can be literally fucking anything and the movie would be the same.

WHY does Pikachu have amnesia which THE WHOLE MOVIE is about solving?

Pls tell me how mr mime dies...

Thats literally the only problem they have, and if he killed someone he can snap them back after, then just keep snapping in more food when it goes bad.

When mewtwo was talking he was being possessed. Normal Mewtwo doesn't move his mouth

>being /pol/

Have sex

It was okay.
Felt like a ton of missed opportunities for references though. Nothing about ground types from pikachu during the torterra scene. They named the fight pit critical hit instead of super effective. They barely used any fucking pokemon music. And most of all they baited celebi saving pikachu so fucking hard then just randomly threw mewtwo in there instead. Also a Team Rocket/Galaxy/whatever would've been way better than just the suits they had. More characters with ditto's aesthetic would've been nice.

she came for cwc

i know that. Doesnt make it look any better. Doesnt mean he couldnt still just telepathically communicate

At least we still have Meowth from the anime.

>They named the fight pit critical hit instead of super effective.
Good. I'm tired of faggots spamming "It's super effective!" for fucking everything and forgetting about critical hits, which are much more fitting if not specifically naming types.

The problem is critical hits are generic, not specific to pokemon.
The plot was mediocre, but you could've made it a lot more enjoyable just by adding a bunch of references for fans of the series. Ya know, like every other vidya movie. They just didn't really add any references.

Mewtwo looked bad with teeth but I don't see the issue with Gengar. I thought he looked great.

Anyone who isn't asian or over the age of 14 shouldn't be obsessed with Pokemon i m o.

I think I’m an adult who wouldn’t go to see a kids movie unless I wanted to look like a child predator

Dilate

This is so sad. When me and my friends with, the theater was mostly groups of adults. I'm sorry that your autism prevents you from liking things, but normal, well-adjusted people everywhere are enjoying the movie.

PEETAH

I honestly felt like an idiot the entire time. It was full of children and manchildren. I thought it was going to be some sort of nostalgia bait that I could enjoy like a pixar movie. But it's quite literally a movie for children. Stupid children. I would have been better off watching the actual cartoon, at least then I'd be seeing characters I remembered instead of random pokemon and a plot so infantile 6 year olds could predict what was going to happen next. It's like that scene in Family guy after they watch Monuments Men and then go to bed afterwards. I still can't believe I went to watch this opening weekend, that I left my house to do this, paid for a ticket and sat through this festering garbage. It's all on me, my mistake my big fucking mistake.

It was a decent, fun movie, better than Endgame (world felt fresh, nostalgia was hit hard), which is why I think the mouse is orchestrating all these negative "manchild" posts like this isn't Yea Forums or something.

Because they're cute

They made a movie with Pokemon first before making a pokemon movie and that's pretty cool. It's not a genwunner movie too.
The only real complaint I have is that there aren't tgat many pokemon in the movie, and a lot of them are reused in throughout. Understandable because of the cost of modeling and animating must cost a ton but still a shame.

based

There's a scientist in DETECTIVE PIKACHU named Anne Laurent, the name Michael Haneke gives to his women protagonists. Which is still not as weird as the scientist named Petra Von Kant in BIO-DOME.

The only thing that felt weird to me is that they made fun of Cubone and potrayed it as some sadistic hell spawn.
