Now that the dust has settled, why couldn't Detective Pikachu be the first vidya movie to break a billion?

I was super hyped for it, but it really did turn out to be incredibly mediocre. There were a few good moments and the spectacle of realistic pokemon, but it was crap.

I think the most heinous sin of the movie was that they introduce and used Mr Mime for a grand total of five minutes and then threw him away never to be seen again. Mr Mime was the most interesting character of the entire film and he should've tagged along the entire journey. He was a wonderful cheeky cunt that I'm certain everybody loved. You can't just introduce a character like this and then throw him away. It would be exactly the same as if in the original Star Wars they met Han Solo and then five minutes later he disappears. You can't do that.

Why is ash so dark?

It was boring.
I'm still surprised that people gave it such glowing reviews.

He burned to death though, he couldn't really feature after that

It just wasn't that good, that's all

Too many moments of things happening that don't get explored like the underground pokemon battling, there's just a bunch of giant Torterra's outside the city borders, experimentation on pokemon cloning, and the worst offense being that pikachu isn't pikachu but Ryan Reynolds conscious put into a pikachu because that's just how the clones of a fucking God work, as a side effect or course :^)

So that in returns is what ultimately ruins the rewatchability of this movie.
It's not a story about a boy and his pikachu but rather story about a boy and his dad's pikachu who's conscious was overridden by his fathers conscious but suffers from amnesia and thinks he's a pikachu all from the side effects of a God clone that somehow gets overpowered by man made machines

>Mr Mime was the most interesting character of the entire film
2nd most interesting, Ditto took the crown.

It was ok. I guess that if they do a sequel, it would be better. Same happened with Deadpool, first movie was only ok, second one was a little bit better.

They can't really do a direct sequel movie because Ryan Reynolds got his body back. However they can do a sequel of the 3DS game, since Harry is still Pikachu at the end of it.

Too close to Avengers + it wasn't that good

It was good, but nothing more.

>Base it off a side game
>Do the realistic Pokemon meme
>Add in cringy 20+ year old lead

Im surprised it made any money, film itself is your average Pokemon theatrical plot: Main character has to stop bad guy from doing something devious with Pokemon, usually revolves around a Rare Pokemon or two. I hear they might do a Kanto movie...maybe that might do better

Sonics out?

No, delayed to next year to fix the design.

Because of competition with capeshit and a mouse remake.

>Ryan Reynolds
>Shit lead
>Boring trailers.
>Poor release date.

Easy to see why.

>it's a genuinely not very good movie. At all.
Explain.

It was based directly on the game, you goofus.

the story was good but boring they tried to stuff in as many pokemon as possible

i watched it last night it was cool but felt sort of boring

also the japs are bad with weights and heights so some of the pokemon were really big

personally liked it and am waiting for the second one it was okay but not a classic like maybe int he future will watch it again and be awestruck with the pokemon

>and the worst offense being that pikachu isn't pikachu but Ryan Reynolds conscious put into a pikachu because that's just how the clones of a fucking God work, as a side effect or course :^)
Which is exactly what happened in the game and Mewtwo's done even more out-there shit in the Japanese animes, so why complain about it here?

yeah ditto's chracter could be used in a horro film

It's not a video game movie.

>Base it off a side game
After 20+ years of Ash it was quite refreshing.
>Do the realistic Pokemon meme
And they did it expertly and beautifully.
>Add in cringy 20+ year old lead
What was so "cringy" (seriously are you people ten years old or have minds this fragile?) about him?

First half was ok, laboratory and onwards sucked.
Best thing about it was just seeing people and Pokemon living together in a city and even that turned lame once you realised how much copy-paste was going on with the same Pokemon over and over.

Because it ruins the boy and his pikachu part of the movie?

>the two most interesting characters are the two who don't talk

Uhhh jeez I don't know. I guess it was probably because of this fucking thing right here.

Attached: detective pikachu.jpg (1120x750, 325K)

I felt like they could've done the twist better and explored more of the city and how humans/pokemon live together.
I will say that personally I think it is the best video game movie that isn't in the "so cheesy it's good" category. That however doesn't say much at all.

I saw this on xanax so I don't remember most of it but that mewtwo scene at the end was on eof the stupidest things I've ever seen in film, what a fucking waste of time.

The face of a person?

I thought this was a smash success

I just checked and it didn't even beat Warcraft (remember that shitty film?) in the box office

Jesus Christ what happened? That's borderline disappointing, this is fucking Pokemon

Seriously he cant fucking act at all. Should have been Tom Holland

Normies only know Ash, Misty, and Brock.
Had they made a live action movie with them, it would break a billion.
But they wanted to base it off the Detective Pikachu game no one played.
Most people don't even know it's a game.

Fuck Tom Holland.
I'm sick of seeing that faggot's face everywhere.

Stop watching exclusively capeshit and you won't see him at all

I don't even watch Capeshit.
Everyone always talks about him.
I can't even come to the video game boars without faggots sucking his cock.
Fucking hell.

Why do you type like this?

>Ashy Ketchum

>he's exclusively in capeshit
>you see him everywhere
>but you don't watch capeshit

People saw the 3D pokemon on the trailer and said oh cool

None of them would be caught dead in a theater watching it, pokemon still has a kiddie reputation

By that logic doesn't it also ruin the game as well?

>shitting on based Ryan Reynolds

He did his best to carry the movie on his back. Besides the Mr. Mime scene, Ryan was the only entertaining part of the movie.

was too dry for the taste of most critics

Do you people act like this just as a way to lash out against everyone else who isn't a retarded racist piece of shit, or are you just that mentally immature?

My rantings don't need to make sense.

>don't like an actor
>REEEE IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE RACIST, NOT BECAUSE SAID ACTOR LEGITIMATELY IS A VERY POOR ACTOR THAT BROUGHT THE REST OF THE MOVIE DOWN WITH HIM

Guess what, race/skin color has no bearing on acting skill - the lead in Detective Pikachu was objectively bad at the role, has literally nothing to do with racism.

I've been informed the girl has a nice ass. Post it.

Oh wow, for once one of you wasn't screeching about a person's skin color.

Reynolds is a lispy faggot you fag

Shut up nigger.

There needs to be more porn of the ditto woman

>hurr

It's alright, but yeah it's not good. You make it sound terrible though.

He was shit though. I was expecting Miles Morales the Pokemon Trainer, but got a literally who with little acting experience and it showed. No personality.

Imagine sucking Reddit Reynolds cock so much
>muh based Deadpool, muh based Pikachu

>no personality
Is this the latest and greatest meme, claiming something isn't doing/showing something because it's not doing/showing what you demand it do/show?

>Add in cringy 20+ year old lead
Stop self-inserting yourself in trAsh.

Imagine throwing this big of a shitfartfit over him.

The main issue with the movie, to me, was the horrendous pacing. I can put up with shitty acting (to an extent) of the main characters (the girl was just as bad as the boy, by the way, if not worse), but the absolutely immersion breaking pacing just killed the entire movie for me. Like, it felt like the movie should have been twice as long with all the stuff they tried to fit into it, but instead we get two seconds in each setting before we zip off to the next plot point.

>if you like Ryan Reynolds you only like him because of Deadpool

Hey, guess what. RR played plenty of other roles before Deadpool, most of which were legitimately entertaining. Stop being a contrarian assumption making faggot.

>Stop being a contrarian assumption making faggot
Do you know where you are?

I loved it. Japan must be seething that it blows all their shitty animes and braindead movies out of the water.

It's easily the best movie based on a video game. Sorry MK; too much censorship.

Bad release timing (putting it up against Endgame should never have been considered) and the movie didn't offer enough surprises to warrant good word of mouth. Compare it to something like the LEGO Movie which also looks like, and largely is, a by-the-numbers kids film but has an all-star cast, good jokes, an actual plot with some surprising twists, and good music. Detective Pikachu has some good fanservice but follows way too many cliche story beats and doesn't try to push the premise or establish a world with any amount of depth. It was competent, but nothing special, and that's just not good enough if you want to break a billion.

most vidya fans don't watch films or read. They play vidya or talk about gender politics on vidya boards

Mortal Kombat Annihilation is better than the first one. The plot is much more engaging and it's just more entertaining and funny.

>everyone hating on the actor that played the male lead
>no mention of the atrocious acting that was the female lead

Since when has sales been indicative of quality? It still made more money than like every other movie not starring some fag in a cape.

I mean, it's a lot shittier which makes it funnier, but on what planet is it straight up better? If you fucking loathe mortal kombat then yeah.

>RR played plenty of other roles before Deadpool, most of which were legitimately entertaining.
Name one

>not capeshit
>black lead ensured it wouldn't do well in China
it was always doomed

Probably because it was pretty fucking terrible

Even as a former Pokefag, my interest in it consisted of seeing Mewtwo who they then showed in the trailers.

It's just "alright" but Reynolds Pikachu is genuinely great. It's not as fun as the original Mortal Kombat movie but it's also pretty cute, so it's the second good vidya movie ever.

We always excuse the female characters because boobs and ass.

Are you implying anyone in this thread actually saw the movie and isn't just basing their opinions of his acting off of his skin color?

Oh yeah, I know this game. No matter what I name you're just going to shit on it to try and prove yourself right regardless of whether or not it was good or if you liked it.

One of my favorite Pokemon ever now. I'm tempted to restart my copy of Sun and do Team Three Bears with Ursaring, Beartic, and Pangoro.

No human characters means general audiences can't identify with any of the characters.

>the cast is a bunch of no-name actors
Are all Yea Forumsirgins this ignorant and stupid?

I think they did pretty well with the nostalgia factor, it sure worked for me. I mean, the movie opens almost like a remake of the first animated one

Same argument could be made for detective Pikachu and Hollywood's pet ape lead

Pathetic child.

Because pokemon are better than humans

Really? I thought the first Deadpool was miles ahead of the second. The second one had too many American references that flew over my head and the Kiwi kid was jarring to say the least given that I'm from NZ.

oh yeah Ryan Renalds
he's been in a lot of great movies people love like that other movie where you never see his face

Yeah, the 2nd one was pretty fucking disappointing. Bringing in Cable was a mistake. And I love the Deadpool & Cable series.

That's a yes, then.

Honestly the worst part of the movie is the reveal that Pikachu was just some random guy in a Pikachu's body. I thought the whole point of the Detective Pikachu game was to show that Pokémon weren't semi-retarded tools but can have brains and personalities too. A Pikachu can be a gruff detective.

Deadpool 1 was good enough that it's the only movie I actually bought the Blu-ray of. 2 didn't make me laugh once until the X-force airplane scene.

Too easy.

Well duh. Pokémon has a great fanbase while Sonic has one of the worst, most bitchy fanbases on the planet.

Wrong, he is a bad actor as well as being a fucking nigger mutt. Any talentless kid would have been just as bad as him and would have been rightgully shit on.

Why are you watching movies for women?

Nah but someone who saw a testing screening said it was pretty good, they gave it a 7/10.

I thought he was pretty good. What, do you prefer that whiny little shit Ash?

It's an awful movie and casting that hideous, charmless darkie was a huge mistake.

The resemblance is uncanny, I totally believe that they could be father and son!

Attached: Tim&Pikachu.jpg (1422x1124, 555K)

Red is more based than Ash. They should have made a Japanese kid play as Red.

I enjoyed the movie till the ending when they made pikachu the dad. It ruined any future relationship with the pikachu and the father.

Red's in the movie though. He's too busy rekking shitlords on live TV to go around solving crime.

mixed kids don't look like their white parents
who would have thought

he is the dad in the video game, but despite that they never turn it into a father-son relationship. The game ends with his dad still being Pikachu and they're like friends.

This movie was clearly pushing the whole racemixing nonsense on everyone. I'm so tired of Hollywood, I'm so tired of Jews. I'm just so tired...

Look at him and laugh.

You can see the difference in intent between the Pokémon movie and the Sonic movie just by that. The Sonic movie is just whoring itself out, doing everything short of sucking your dick to try and please you.

My brother came over. We always watch video game movies together and this was the first time we weren't cracking jokes every 3 minutes.

The game and movie share the general plot points of "What happened to Tim's dad?" "Why is there a talking Pikachu?" and the "The R Drug," but the game and movie are completely different, the people and locations are very different. I think the game is way better. In particular, I adore how the game handles those moments when a pokemon under the influence of R goes berserk, you really get the impression that people could've died. When Charizard went berserk with R in the movie, it didn't feel like anything was at stake.

"YOU'RE A SHILL MEMBER OF THE PRODUCTION TEAM AUGH!!" wasn't an answer to any of my questions, child.

That scene where he started sadly singing the English anime theme song didn't make a whole lot of sense. If they really wanted to fit the song in they should have tried to find a more fitting spot for it.

Wow its almost like the male lead while nothing special was perfectly serviceable and people were just nitpicking because the neo yokio guy lives in their head rent free and as such they are harder on young black actors than any other demographic of actors.

It's the definition of so bad it's good. The CGI monsters are hilarious.

It's not just his skin color
It's the combination of age, gender and skin color because will smiths son lives rent free in their heads.

Because the nigger is a terrible actor and the storyline was nothing special. The movies was just below average.

A hundred little things and a few big things which I couldn’t tell you because I didn’t waste my money on it.

Why argue nigger? Everyone here is muh reddit this muh reddit that. Ryan Reynolds is fine, but he ain't nothing special. That said, he was but one good element in a sub par movie.

No it isn't. They rushed that shit out and didn't even wanna pay the original actors. That movie was absolutely shit and was only good to make fun of.

The lead actor was fine. He doesn't even look like a nigger, he's like a white kid with shitty hair and dark skin. If anything the woman was shit.
The pokemon turned out to be fine too, had my doubts with the realistic thing at first but it turned out fight.
It didn't work out that well because of competition with more popular franchises in theaters, that's all. People couldn't know in advance the story is pretty bad so it doesn't count.

The movie was shit, the story was shit, the acting was shit, the lead was shit. Fucking nonsense plot, I went with my son and was miserable through it. I also don't like Reynolds because he's a faggot
