DETECTIVE PIKACHU: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About The First Live-Action POKEMON Movie

The reviews for Detective Pikachu have arrived, but does the first live-action Pokemon movie live up to expectations and break the video game movie curse? Hit the jump to check out this roundup...

When it was first revealed that Legendary Pictures was developing a Detective Pikachu movie, the response was not good. Fans argued that it was a mistake to take the franchise down this route, but as soon as the teaser landed, things changed and excitement for the movie started to build.

Now, the review embargo has finally lifted and it appears as if the studio definitely has a hit on its hands. While the response definitely isn't overwhelmingly positive (there are some negative reviews here and the plot comes under fire in even the higher rated reviews), it sounds like a good start for the franchise and fans should definitely be happy.

Below, you'll find a roundup of reviews from a number of outlets including the trades, entertainment websites, and newspapers. These provide a great idea of what to expect and are spoiler-free.

If you have waited your entire life to see this world brought to life, and to watch humans and Pokémon occupy the same space, then “Detective Pikachu” may well be everything you ever wanted. But for those of us who don’t know a Jigglypuff from a Charizard, this film scores low on wit, coherence and engagement.

SOURCE: The Wrap

While Detective Pikachu doesn’t 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. You’ll laugh, (if you’re like me) you’ll cry, and you’ll leave the theater with a Snorlax-sized smile on your face. In a world of swirling chaos, never-ending vitriol, and constant horror, Detective Pikachu and its story of fractured family and finding oneself are a welcome reprieve. [4/5]

SOURCE: Nerdist

Reynolds and Pikachu make an inspired combo in a CGI/live-action mash-up that otherwise adheres to a rigidly boilerplate formula. [3/5]

SOURCE: Total Film

Even though the film successfully accomplishes so much in breaking the curse of bad video game movies, a few revelations and choices made in the final act have the potential to be divisive amongst the audience. But, as is the case with an adventure like this, it's less about the destination and more about the journey and this voyage has it all - it's funny, charming and endearing. Pokémon Detective Pikachu is an absolute delight from start to finish for new and old fans alike. Easily the best video game movie ever. Pika Pika!

SOURCE: Starburst

Detective Pikachu is definitely a movie you should add to your watchlist. Here’s hoping this film is the beginning of Pokemon-inspired movie universe, because I can’t wait to see what’s next in store for the yellow, electricity-filled detective!

SOURCE: Geeks Of Color

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. [C+]

SOURCE: Entertainment Weekly

Pikachu is like the supreme A-lister of this creature crowd and he’s an adorable hoot. The movie sings when Pikachu is running afoul of an irked Charizard, interacting with the unnerved Tim – he’s almost a Poke-straight man at times – or playing the world’s cutest sleuth. Reynolds’ voice has a natural snarkiness that electrifies Pikachu’s personality, though there’s also a heartwarming timbre that’ll make you love him more, if that's possible.

SOURCE: USA Today

Detective Pikachu isn’t really trying to be a movie you think about beyond its most basic beats—and that’s what makes it work, even if it ultimately means that it takes the crown of “Best Video Game Movie” simply by being basically competent rather than because it can truly shine on its own merits. If you’ve ever in your life, even for just a moment, been touched by the simple joy of Pokémon, then Detective Pikachu makes it clear that it understands you, and why you got that spark of joy in the first place. It just hopes that it understands you enough to mask its otherwise messy, relatively humdrum tale.

SOURCE: io9

By comparison, the humans are rather bland but it’s Reynolds who saves the day. He takes what could have been a generic conceit by the scruff of the neck and gives it the requisite jolt of energy – electrical, caffeine-derived or otherwise. He’s worth every penny. [3/5]

SOURCE: Guardian

Will their partnership continue? If anything, the blessing of “Detective Pikachu” is that it’s off-canon. Its box office should demonstrate fans’ hunger for a more robust big-screen version of the Pokémon universe, while the disappointment needn’t dissuade another team from coming along and doing it right.

SOURCE: Variety

Live-action feature film adaptations of video games have proved a dicey proposition in the past. For every “Mortal Kombat” there’s a “Prince of Persia.” This one just feels like a venal money grab from a mega corporation. You’ve played Pokémon Go, right? Call this one Pokémon Don’t Go.

SOURCE: Associated Press

Although the script, credited to Letterman along with Dan Hernandez, Benji Samit and Derek Connolly, from a story by Nicole Perlman, tends to compartmentalize the comedy, action and emotional bits rather than organically blending them all together, Letterman’s energetic direction manages to hold everything aloft.

SOURCE: The Hollywood Reporter

Compared with most modern blockbusters, Detective Pikachu is contained, almost small, in its ambitions. But that's a relief, allowing viewers, among them nostalgic millennials and children, to bask in the charm of a Pokémon-filled environment. Also, have you seen Pikachu? Don't you just want to squeeze him??

SOURCE: Thrillist

That awe can be exciting and explosive in the thick of battle, but more often than not, it’s quiet and mundane, like having to strap your Pikachu into a car’s booster seat. The biggest compliment I can give Detective Pikachu is that it didn’t take long for me to wish I could live in it.

SOURCE: Polygon

Detective Pikachu’s writing isn’t exactly strong or thought-provoking, but honestly, it doesn’t have to be. This isn’t a timeless work of cinematic genius. Instead, it’s a chance for Pokémon diehards to spend two hours inside a universe many of us have invested years in. It’s a hilarious, carefree, fun romp through a familiar place, and it’s just different enough to add a much needed twist to a formula that was growing tired.

SOURCE: The Verge

What a bummer. Detective Pikachu is, so far, my most disappointing experience at the movies this year. Again, I cannot stress how much I was looking forward to this movie. And what’s even more frustrating is you can kind of see in here the blueprints for something really fun and unique, but instead it just comes off as disjointed, with ideas going all different directions. For Pokémon fans, Detective Pikachu will be fun to watch in an effort to spot them all (again, this movie looks great). But for everyone else, it might be better to listen to Snorlax and just take a nap.

SOURCE: Uproxx

Despite the film industry’s resistance to video game movies, Pokémon: Detective Pikachu has landed a critical hit. Sure, not everything goes off without a hitch, but the lifelike Pokémon provide a nonstop stream of delights to make the weaker aspects of the movie forgivable. Smith’s character gives the story an emotional weight and Reynolds delivers an endearing comedic performance that’s closer to his subversive Deadpool schtick than you’d expect. While video game movies haven’t had the best track record, this movie is by and far the best example of how to do one right. [8/10]

SOURCE: IGN

Beneath the predictable story, Detective Pikachu isn’t about much, and if you need Wikipedia to explain who Mewtwo is, most of the jokes will go right over your head. The whole thing is a bit too childish for adults, and a bit too convoluted for kids. It absolutely deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects however, even if the subject matter makes me think it’s unlikely to receive one.

SOURCE: ScreenCrush

Despite my headline, it’s no Chinatown. It’s not even a general Alex Cross, but it’s a solid Hard To Kill or Mighty Morphin Power Rangers when the heroes uncover the villains’ plots. I believe Smith interacting with this CGI Pikachu talking like Reynolds. They commit, as does Kathryn Newton as a reporter with whom they team up. Detective Pikachu didn’t turn me into a Pokemon fan but I think the Pokeman crowd will like it.

SOURCE: We Live Entertainment

I'm sure your children will love it, and I reckon your inner child will probably love it, but that big kid who saw the trailers and started hoping for a little more will probably feel a bit let down.

SOURCE: EuroGamer

We'd happily return to Ryme City for a sequel, which is handy, because there's already one in development. And we'd love to see some more off-the-wall expansions of the Pokémon brand. This first Detective Pikachu film certainly has its flaws, but it's full of fun, easy to enjoy and unashamedly silly. Isn't that exactly what Pokémon should be? [3/5]

SOURCE: Den Of Geek

Detective Pikachu wears its heart on its sleeve, but the emotional core feels somewhat half-baked, despite the constant flashbacks to Tim’s sad childhood. But it’s in the dazzling design of the world and its characters, and when Detective Pikachu shows glimpses of enchanting, Studio Ghibli-esque flairs, that the film balances out its feeble plot and uninteresting protagonist.

SOURCE: /Film

Unfortunately, the half-baked mystery story relies heavily on tropes, two-dimensional characters (no pun intended), and too familiar twists and turns, few of which make much sense in reality even though they’re forced to fit the Poké-fied narrative. The long and short of it is this: See Detective Pikachu for the Pokémon, not the plot.

Okay some decent reviews so we know that its not crap, that's for sure.
Considering 99% of video game movies are crap I guess thats good.
Only 1 other decent video game movie

even then it has a lot of dumb stuff in it

MosquitoFarmer - 5/3/2019, 2:38 AM

@dracula - The 90's was wild.

dracula - 5/3/2019, 2:54 AM

@MosquitoFarmer - Only one of those that holds up at all is Mortal Kombat, and its the only one that.........Follows the game

MyCoolYoung - 5/3/2019, 4:49 AM

@MosquitoFarmer - not going to lie, I loved double dragon

Fishandchips - 5/3/2019, 5:10 AM

@DoubleD - sorry if I'm reading your comment wrong, but it was a video game first, the anime and movies came after the original games, Red and Green.

heisei24 - 5/3/2019, 5:33 AM

@DoubleD - That's literally wrong, Pokemon was a video game first, cartoon later

ThePott - 5/3/2019, 1:56 AM

I think Metacritic is a good metric for measuring movies.
Pikachu is currently at 49, Tomb Raider from last year was 48.

Looks like we've moved into the Video Game movies are average era.
Sounds like fans will be happy with Pikachu so I guess you can't complain and hopefully it leads to great stuff down the road.

dracula - 5/3/2019, 2:01 AM

@ThePott - Basically what the early 2000's were for most comic book movies. Hopefully we get those few exceptions of great video game movies like we got for comic books (Spiderman trilogy, Dark Knight Trilogy, X Men series, Blade 1 and 2)

ThePott - 5/3/2019, 2:34 AM

@dracula - Huh, good point. There were some really average superhero movies back then and a few stood out from the pack, hopefully this is the start of some good video game movies coming soon.

Scarilian - 5/3/2019, 5:01 AM

@ThePott -
Pokemon has the highest potential. I feel a lot of critics will judge it harshly due to the idea that they view the human character as the main character as opposed to an audience proxy which is how he appears.

Saga - 5/3/2019, 2:06 AM

That Digimon movie is getting closer and closer. I can feel it

Spock0Clock - 5/3/2019, 2:36 AM

@Saga - Done in the style of Hackers?

Kevwebsz - 5/3/2019, 2:41 AM

@Saga - Would definitely work in todays tech sci-fi world

MotherGooseUPus - 5/3/2019, 4:30 AM

@Saga - god i hope so! i wana see this guy in live action soooo badly

Scarilian - 5/3/2019, 4:46 AM

@Saga -
Was thinking about this the other day. Can already imagine a teaser trailer set around a campfire/campsite as weird glitches happen around them before they are sucked into the digital world.

Feralwookiee - 5/3/2019, 2:19 AM

I in my 40's, so this isn't for my generation at all, but didn't this Pokemon thing die out YEARS ago?

Unites - 5/3/2019, 2:31 AM

@Feralwookiee - Absolutely not. This franchise is still huge (games, apps, movies, series, merchandise, tournaments, et cetera)

heisei24 - 5/3/2019, 2:31 AM

@Feralwookiee - No? Pokemon has never died out, it just gets less popular over time and sometimes gets overshadowed by other franchises.

Spock0Clock - 5/3/2019, 2:41 AM

@LordCipher - Apparently Pokemon Go is still making something like 800 million dollars a year.

ThePott - 5/3/2019, 4:04 AM

@Unites - Just to add to what you're saying Pokemon is the highest grossing media franchise of all-time. It's made 90 Billion Dollars.

Kids are still into Pokemon too even if it doesn't seem like it's as big as it was in the 90s. Not to mention kids freaking love Pikachu, never underestimate the kawaii influence on girls either. They will see it on that alone especially the younger demographic.

MexCowboyNation - 5/3/2019, 7:07 AM

@Feralwookiee - 40s? Some of your comments make it seem like you were born in the 1800s.

Feralwookiee - 5/3/2019, 7:51 AM

@MexCowboyNation - Yeah. We weren't as sensitive back then. 😁 Have a good day sport!

Spock0Clock - 5/3/2019, 2:29 AM

I'm not trying to be a pedant, but I don't know if I would call this a "Video Game Movie" in the sense that it's trying to adapt a video game to film. From the trailers, this doesn't feel like the game world brought to life to me. (The pastoral journey of children capturing and fighting wild animals with each other.) It's more just our world with Pokemon in it.

If it really is "the best video game movie" by avoiding the central structure of the game series, then that's something worth examining on its own.

Barbaros - 5/3/2019, 3:30 AM

@Spock0Clock - Detective Pikachu is a game and this movie is an adaptation of it.

Kleytus - 5/3/2019, 3:48 AM

@Barbaros - @Spock0Clock -

@Barbos is right, but I get your point. They went for the game that gave them the easiest route.

I'm still pissed that the Sonic movie is not (at least at it's core) located in Mobius. Is like Masters of the Universe all over again. 10 minutes of shitty Eternia and then jumping to New Jersey to save budget.

MexCowboyNation - 5/3/2019, 7:09 AM

@Spock0Clock -

Pierce - 5/3/2019, 11:49 AM

@Spock0Clock - I see where you're going, Detective pikachu was a spinoff that id never heard of before. Its kinda odd that the first live pokemon movie is one where a random person can actually understand a pikachu through the english language combined with a murder mystery. Following Ash through the Kanto league seemed like the obvious route. Im mostly puzzled on how they will make other movies about that and reconcile how only one person can speak to one pokemon. maybe they get an unexpected run in with mew two or that physduck does something weird to their brains using physic powers.

gunfighterii - 5/3/2019, 3:12 PM

@Spock0Clock - The original Game Boy games came out a year or two before the anime so I would definately count this as a video game film. Without the success of the games the anime wouldn't have existed

Kevwebsz - 5/3/2019, 2:45 AM

I'm curious how much it'll affect Avengers. Endgame is a monster but Pokemon is also huge so..

Unites - 5/3/2019, 3:00 AM

@Kevwebsz - Not much, I think. Maybe in Asia.

Gose - 5/3/2019, 3:03 AM

Ryan Reynolds cgi of the pikachu/pokemon company is way better than the DCEU/warner bros company aka green lantern.

Alex35 - 5/3/2019, 3:05 AM

Curently 69% on RT, which is great considering the movie goes mostly for the actual fans of the Pokemon franchise (which I'm not). It it stays in 60's, it would be more than ok.

Rooting for the movie for Ryan Reynolds, but with the monster called Endgame, I don't thing it will do amazing numbers like we all originally tought. Because man, Endgame is making history.
