with that creepy deadpool voiceover thing R rated already. Nah seriously our beloved, long lived capitalists just strike again with their mind numbling unnecessary product



Pokémon: Detective Pikachu (also known as Detective Pikachu) is an upcoming family film directed by Rob Letterman and written by Nicole Perlman and Letterman, based on the video game of the same name. The film is an American and Japanese joint venture produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Legendary Pictures, and The Pokémon Company. It will be the first live-action film based on the Pokémon franchise. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Detective Pikachu, with Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton and Ken Watanabe in live-action roles.

It looks excellent, I'm looking forward to it.

As a person who has been a Pokemon fan for over a decade I am surprised at the quality of this production and the unique communication between Pikachu and our protagonist. I thought CGI Pokemon would just look scary, but they pulled this off really well.

Do you think the protagonist is Ash's son? Some guy did mention something about his father being a legendary trainer. Or could it be Red's? Guess I'll have to watch the movie to find out. I also hope they don't add too many mature themes. In the end, Pokemon's a kids show and that's what gives it a unique charm. Kind of like Spongebob out of Water; great movie adaption of a kids comedy.

Definitely going to be watching this.

I saw the thumbnail yesterday and thought this was a meme. When I saw the trailer I was actually kinda wanting to watch it. I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. It looks funny and comedy is definitely the way to go with a movie like this.

The films looks nice, and watched this trailer though ANN, man, the CGI looks really nice, but often less good and too realistic to be made. I wish if they made this film in 2D format, not for 3D, 3D tend to very terrible for animal characters to be designed.

I don't care if it turns out the movie is terrible - I just really want to see what the Pokemon world is like in a live action setting. Pikachu and Jigglypuff look ADORABLE, and the world is very detailed if we go by the trailer.

On top of that, Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu. I need to see that as it just astounds me. You can already find Deadpool Pikachu's on Google...

This looks fucking dumb. The fun kind of fucking dumb. I love Ryan Reynolds, especially his obnoxious, snarky side, so I'll probably watch it anyway when it comes out. It doesn't seem like a film that's going to take itself too seriously.

That will be fun to watch although a talking Pikachu is a bit jarring, however the CGI is great.

Yeah, DeVito would have been nice for him to voice, but let's forget it about it.

Finally saw the trailer.

I'm not really a Pokemon fan, know just the bare bones (superpowered animals). But I don't think Pikachu is supposed to be Rocket Raccoon Jr.

It looks like Pokemon is doing a film noir story like what the Muppets did with the Happytime Murders. But like I said, I'm not really a fan, so I don't know if this is an okay direction or not.

The VFX of the animals look decent, they need a bit more work but I'm sure post-production will refine them.

So far, it was an intriguing look at live-action Pokemon.

We're all okay to say the only reason we're gonna watch this is because Pikachu said to a girl 'You're adorable' and that's just the kind of comedy that would get the heart of any true normie ?

Huh, did not expect this but the trailer was...surprisingly good. It hast some "Ted" vibes, but with Pokemon.
I'll give this a try for sure when released. It coud become one of the few good live action anime movies.

Your childhood dream is a movie about a Pokemon spinoff? I didn't even know that something like "Detective Pikachu" even existed up until now, but apparently it has a lot of fans.

Childhood dream to see Pokemon in a real movie . Doesn't matter if it's a spinoff of original or made from a 3ds game about which I had no clue till this morning :_:

I see, well to me it matters since the story seems pretty crappy. But I guess it makes sense to use Pokemon in our world since it's just easier to film.

As a Pokemon fan who started with Pokemon Red on the very day it was released in Europe and who's still playing Pokemon games at least once a year, I can't really get hyped for this.

A dude at the pizza place I always go to told me about this when he saw me wearing a Pokemon Tshirt the other day. He wasn't so sure about the 3D animation. But after seeing the trailer, it looks pretty funny, actually. I could really see myself visiting the cinema for this one.

i've only seen memes and posts about it and never saw the full trailer until now. it looks better than i thought! i'm keen as for it.
ryan reynolds as the voice actor was unexpected, i reckon they could've chosen someone more suited than him but nevertheless, doesn't matter too much. he's funny so it's not as bad as other people think.

I’m pretty skeptical, but yknow after sitting on it for a few days this movie could be pretty fun. I’m always open for new fresh takes on the Pokémon universe and I think this would be kind of interesting. At first I thought the Pokémon models were kind of weird but honestly I really like them now. There’s just one thing though

I was gonna say smthin, but ryan memes himslf too hard.


also, I always hated humans in these kinda films, like who cares abt humans in transformer, we came to see robots/

& they could have cast ryan as the human, he might be likeable, but that ugly nigga, I already hate him.

Visual's great. I think they pretty much nailed the worldbuilding (PIKACHU AND JIGGLYPUFF LOOKED SO FLUFFY I CAN'T--).

But IMO Ryan Reynolds' voice ruined it. Reynolds didn't even try to change the 'personality' of his voice or anything. That ain't Pikachu, that's just straight up a yellow small fluff version of Deadpool!

I DO hope this movie will embody the magical feel of OG Pokemon movies, tho. OG Pokemon movies usually focus on finding a legendary Pokemon and the adventures that revolve around it. But this live-action already feels different because it focuses more on finding the MC's dad.

But I guess they should kinda start somewhere. They need to introduce the non-fans to Pokemon via the MC. If this movie doesn't do that well, I hope they go with the 'finding-legendary-pokemon' formula in the next one.

"I was shocked at how much I loved this film.

The VFX work is phenomenal. The Pokémon look and feel like real creatures in a real world. The cinematography and sets are beautiful to look at with a lot of diversity. At times, the movie looks and feels like a Nature Documentary and at times like Blade Runner. The world feels alive with many little details.

The story is simple, but has some great surprises for fans of the franchise. The main characters are charming. Justice Smith is very good and reliable as the human lead Tim Goodman. Ryan Reynolds is great as Pikachu, but out of all the Pokémon in the film, Psyduck is the one to steal the show. The jokes are well written and are often hilarious. The action scenes are spectacular, especially the final battle.

If I had to point at the movie’s weaker elements, the human villain could’ve been better, and the story is a bit generic. There’s also a twist near the end of the film that doesn’t really work and unintentionally funny. But other than that it’s a pretty damn good movie, and a great time at the cinema. It made me a Pokémon fan. That should tell you all you need about how much I loved it."


This sounds promising.
