Pokémon Detective Pikachu
|
![]() The film based on the adventure games of Detective Pikachu by Creatures Inc. Rob Letterman directed the film. With Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu and new stars Justice Smith as Tim Goodman and Kathryn Newton as Lucy Stevens. Letterman’s style, like his previous film; Goosebumps, could be felt in this film while Reynolds performance is excellent and loveable as Pikachu. One sad thing to add is that the film stars on screen are lack of Japanese representations which is the country where Pokemon from. Only Ken Watanabe, who represents the Japanese even with the fact that character Mewtwo is voiced by Rina Hoshino and Kotaro Watanabe and also though the film’s production and distributor is Japanese what we can see on screen is only Ken Watanabe's character.
The film is a cliche with a different twist. Point is added beacuse the film is abled to combined drama, mystery, and adventure at the same time. The drama is building up from the beginning causing the audience to love the lead character Tim, played by Justice Smith applause for this new star. The CGI is excellent and abled to bring the characters of Pokemon to the big screen.
Point: 75 |
