I have never played or to any extent watched Pokemon, haven't even played Pokemon Go, so I have no dog in this fight. Just for the record.
I liked this movie. It's little bit of a mystery, with a slight hint of noir. There's pretty decent action, and a lot of humor. Likable characters.
Ryan Reynolds really kills it as Pikachu. It's like every line he delivers, is the best it could be, and every delivery is the best it could be. It just fits. Not that I laughed my ass off or anything, but he is just very enjoyable. and Pikachu is super cute, and very well integrated into the world. Excellent mix of CGI and live action all round.
Some fans will probably hate it, and others love it, but hey, that's the name of the game! As far as video game adaptations go, you could do a hell, uhm, sorry heck of a lot worse!
