I would agree to some extent that the bad video game movie trope has been broken. The film isn't great, but I think it's still an entertainment way to spend an evening. This may sound dumb, but the most of the bits I didn't like were when they remind the audience that this film is set in the Pokémon world. What can I say? I don't like Pokémon. Ryan Reynolds is the beating heart of the film for me, and the gives a really great voice over performance. Justice Smith is acceptable, and Bill Nighy does nothing, which is annoying since he's not in Shaun Of The Dead much either, but he gives one of the best performances in that film. So I did like Detective Pikachu, but the ending... the ending sucks. I'll leave it at that... oh man Sonic's gonna suck!
