7/10
Surprisingly Good!
12 February 2024
I have played Pokemon but it was many years ago now. I had desperately low expectations for this movie, but my son insisted and there was no way my wife was taking him to see it.

It's actually good! It's a kids movie, but it more than caters for the adults. Ryan Reynolds waters down his Dead Pool persona and injects hilarity into the Detective Pikachu character. Even the story is good, it's intriguing without being over complex and it holds the mystery till the end pretty well.

The Pokemon living among the people is done well and is pretty funny at times. But overall the movie is just harmless fun.

My true score is about 5.5/10 but it's a kids film so I'm giving it a 7/10 I reckon that's fair.
