Congrats Detective Pikachu you have the highest review score of any video game based movie

Pokemon was a game before it was an anime.
This movie has no relation to the anime, and is in fact directly based off of and named after a game.

Oh boy, this is going to be a fucking riot. Boomers are going to be the only ones rating this low, and the funny thing is, the reviews are already way higher score than the animated ones.
>From IndieWire: It seems that this particular game of Pokémon needed more time at the gym. Yes, that’s a “Pokémon Go” reference, and if you can’t follow it, don’t bother.
>Entertainment Weekly: As the wisecracking voice of Pikachu, Ryan Reynolds deserves some sort of special citation for doing the best he can without Deadpool’s f-bombs (or a decent script) to lean on. But the main problem is that the film’s gumball-mayhem plot is so frenetic that it’s impossible to determine if it makes a lick of sense. Maybe that was the point.
>Screen International: An aggressively cute family film that’s also a spectacle-driven sci-fi noir-mystery with hints of Blade Runner and the third act of every Marvel movie, this adaptation of the popular 2016 video game throws everything at the audience with such vehemence that the sum effect is overwhelming more than it is entertaining.

Wew lad. I'm fucking glad the movie's doing the exact opposite of Masuda's philosophy and is aimed towards Pokemon fans from the start.

It's a shame since if they had kept the original opening and pilot of the Japanese release, then maybe it would have been respected.

how old and where do the these people come from?
If they are older than 30, they should remember the first pokemon boom that makes current capeshit craze look like indieshit.
If they are younger... how didn't they grow up on the game, nor the cartoons, and avoided all contact with social media until today?
HOW
DOES
THAT
WORK

I fuckin know what it is and I’ve played it. But its super fucking unpopular in america that it may as well be a literally who. I mean it doesn’t even sell well here.

Has there ever been a Pokémon game where people actually train their Pokémon at the gym? For example, with NPCs so busy training they haven't got time to fight you? Where you can see their Pokémon out, hard at work training? It's far too late in the series now, but I think they should be called 'clubs', like in the Trading Card Game on the Gameboy. It makes much more sense - and as you have to earn your place in the club, it goes a long way to explaining why these 'gyms' are themed around a leader and full of hostile people who try to push you out and make you prove yourself just for coming inside.

its based off of the detective pikachu game, you dipshit

Not surprised seeing a Yea Forumsirging talking about games he hasn't even touched, but no, the film has very little to do with the Detective Pikachu game, it just chose that spin off because it allowed both having a talking Pikachu, buddy movie plot which Hollywood loves as a proved premise.

go away black Korra. This is white Korra only.

That's like pretending capeshit movies are not from old comics because there are more recent issues.

Yeah, it does have very little to do with the Detective Pikachu game.
And absolutely nothing to do with the anime.

Based retard.

What? It's a movie with a plot loosely based on a game that's a spin-off of a game series. A game series that also has an anime based off of it, but the movie isn't related to the anime.

Oh I'm glad AnimeMcWeeaboo.com liked it.

I don't see how this could be any worse than Black Panther which was about as bog standard a superhero movie as it gets yet apparently is a cultural movement.

Do not try to move the goalpost, faggot, I was obviously neither the person you were replying, nor attacking the argument it wasn't based off the anime. I'm stating the movie is, as expected from a souless cashgrab Hollywood adaptation, a complete new beast, that only carries the name of a minor spin off to justify a suits-approved plot, and not because they were directlly adapting it like you said.

Those types of people don’t exist past the 90s though. By the 5th gen at earliest 6th gen latest normies we’re all about Halo and Madden even black nerd culture started happening by that point

It's pretty much the same, really.
As for MCU, I always liked Ant-Man more than any of the other movies.

I get more and more depressed everyday that Pokémon aren't real

Same here. At least the humour in that was appropriate and well done. Ant Man and the Wasp was complete shit, though.

You're the one moving the goalpost. You replied to a post disputing that the movie is based off of the anime, which it isn't. Follow the (you)'s back to the top and you'll see there isn't a single post about whether or not anything is a soulless cashgrab.

Detective Pikachu makes Pokemon look like big jerks and meanies. I was hoping for the first CGI real world Pokemon movie to be light-hearted colorful and cute, not an overly self aware dark toned "yo dude what the hell, you think that just because imma Pikachu doesn't i can't be an asshole" shtick

Chris Nashawaty really knows how to commit to a theme goddamn.

I wouldn't even care about the darker setting if they wouldn't chose to mix realistic looking pokemon with cartoon features, they are straight uncanny valley. Can't understand why so many people say it looks good, I guess Pokemon is too big to fall, or shills did a good job creating a positive snow ball.

wouldn't the movie score be 56% then?

It opened over here today and I just watched it.

It was pretty good.

Villain is white businessman who wants to become a pokemon and transfers his mind into Mewtwo then starts transferring all people's minds into pokemon because he's bonkers, his secretary (lady in shades) is actually a Ditto and basically the final boss (transforms into multiple human characters and pokemon), Ryan Reynolds is actually the kid's father whose mind was fused into Pikachu before the movie started to hide him from the villain

Do you people forgot detective pikachu was a game?

Bill Nye?

Yep
His son is made out to look like a villain for a bit but it turns out to be the Ditto (if the person's wearing shades, it's actually the Ditto)

The last pokemon games I played were the original releases of gold/silver and I never touched anything related to the series after getting out of primary school but I enjoyed it. 90% of the fun is Ryan Reynolds though so if you don't like him then don't even bother watching the film.

Wow, they actually did the father's """""twitst""""", although even my grandmother saw it coming from a light year of distance. I hoped the twist was going to be he weren't the father.
That Ditto idea sounds dope... except Ditto aren't rational. Or have all Pokemon in this film universe human-level intelligence?

>Popular

Question for the guy that saw it
Did incineroar appear at all? He’s like the most popular pokemon right now

>Highest score is a 73

LOL

Based Yokai chads

Movie started production before gen 7 happened so expect fuck all

Bill Nye is doing genetic shit on pokemon (he also has kaiju sized versions of the tortoise things with mountains on their back, don't know their names as I haven't played anything after gold/silver) and they just say that his Ditto is special.

I guess the kid is supposed to be half black or whatever but the final scene where Reynolds is actually there felt a bit weird.

Aside from the obvious Pikachu and Mewtwo, and Ditto as mentioned above, the film also pushes Psyduck quite a bit. Mr Mime and Charizard and the ninja lizard things with shurikens get a memorable stuff too. Everything else, not so much.

Popular is the operative word.

Given that the review uses popular, I would guess that its not referring to the Detective Pikachu game.

Not him but I'd rather believe 5 people who know what they're talking about than 30+ where most of them are either shills or have no idea what they're reviewing anyways

>I was only pretending to be retarded

Is Bill Nye actually in the movie?

Just want to add that there's not much detective/mystery stuff going around at all, the kid and Pikachu and the news intern and her Psyduck just kind of bumble around until they find stuff. There's a lot of big dumb ultimately meaningless action scenes and over-the-top cartoonish characterisation too, presumably for kids.

Bill Nighy is in the film he's the villain

Why do boomer critics hate Pokémon for being confusing but love Marvel movies?

Does the Ditto have a human mind?

>a special Ditto
So Mew Three?

>All these nostalgia blind manchildren pretending that Pokemon isn't a boomer series when it's been around in the mainstream since the 90's

Capeshit is even newer to most normalfags and it sales with zero effort. People just don't give a shit about your autistic fan wank, get over it

>final boss is [spoilers]Ditto[/spoilers]
I'm sold

It seems to just be a pokemon. It does shit like push Bill Nighy's wheelchair around and coordinate Mewtwo's capture though and clearly pretty smart, but has no lines even when in human form.

Don't you have a loo to be chasing?

>but love Marvel movies?

Was the first review always a food analogy?

Highest quality post itt

Oh and they say that Mewtwo "escaped from the Kanto region" previously (the villains didn't make him, just captured him) so I guess this could tie in to game canon or whatever.

There's no mid or post-credits scenes but my cinema aired a trailer for the new CG Mewtwo movie remake and the humans look fucking horrific in that.

The credits do have the characters drawn in the same art style as the old games though and most of them look nothing alike

Does Bill Nighy end up in Lugias stomach?

I just want to add that the movie is NOT well-written in any way. Hell, the villain's plan is plain fucking retarded: He reveals his evil plan to the kid, puts on a device that transfers his mind into Mewtwo, and then as Mewtwo fucks off to do the rest of his plan WHILE LEAVING THE KID IN THE ROOM WITH HIS BODY AND THE DEVICE. The Ditto shows up later to rough the kid up but the kid totally has a load of time to just go over to the body and pull the fucking thing off (he doesn't because the writing is bad and just dicks around doing nothing until the Ditto shows up).

90% of the fun of the film is literally just the sheer novelty of Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu, but I personally found it to be worth it.

You'd prefer it watered down?

Lugia is a parade balloon

That's a high score

I thought boomer critics would hate it. Please tell they have snarky Pokemon zingers, let me guess a few

does that mean Pikachu was black all along?

How is it aimed at Pokemon fans?
What Pokemon fans want is a challenging game, not a shitty 3D movie.

His character does show up in the last scene of the film (the pikachu goes back to being a regular pikachu) and he's just Ryan Reynolds.
