Title: Detective Pikachu movie
Post by: Lonk on November 15, 2018, 01:13:34 PM
I don't know if this was posted but a Pokemon Movie? Sounds good, not sure that it will be. I will probably still watch it though.

I know nothing of Pokemon other than being annoyed at how popular it was in my younger years. This looked pretty fun to me. Which means I assume pokemon fans will hate it.

I was a little disappointed, however, that Ryan Reynolds is just playing himself in this. I don't get when celebs just play themselves in voice over work. I loved Bradley Cooper as Rocket, cause it's a completely different voice and character for him. I wish more celebs would do that. I hear Pikachu or whatever in this movie and I just hear Deadpool. And I love Deadpool, but I don't need all his other characters to be that.

Act god dammit!

Pokemon rules. I'm picking up the new game tomorrow. This movie I'm not sure is my kind of thing but I've been following it forever and I'm glad to see it finally coming out. It looks all right, for what it is, after all, but I haven't been into any Pokemon movies since the first 3. I'll probably catch this after its theatrical run is over.

Pokemon fan here, just gonna say that this looks better than most of the past like...10 movies they've put out.

Admittedly, I was skeptical at first. I was like "Wait, they're making a live-action Pokemon movie? Based on a spin-off game? That they just released?" but then I saw the trailer and now I am 100% on-board. This is up there with Fantastic Beasts 2, HtTYD3, and the Marvel movies as one of the upcoming movies I'm most excited for!

The Mr. Mime in the trailer made me laugh, and that Charizard looks awesome. It could spell good things for Pokemon films in the future if it does well!

Anyone getting just a tad of a "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" vibe from the trailer?    Not in a bad way.   Roger Rabbit could never be redone...so you could only pay it homage.

Me too...If Jigglypuff sings. I hope they keep that song from the Anime.

I wish they would have gotten Danny Devito.

Yup he would've. But Ryan Reynolds brings the chicks and Pikachu is meant to be cute.

I've never found myself at all interested in Pokemon, but this looks like an absolute blast.
