Pokémon Detective Pikachu

It's just nice, it's a nice pleasant thing. I think if you yourself have Pokemon nostalgia you'll probably get some enjoyment out of this, just don't expect to be surprised by the plot.

Detective Pikachu is a fun family movie that can be enjoyed by many. It's a love letter to the world of Pokémon and easily the best video game movie made.

Detective Pikachu wears its influences on its sleeve, and has the sensibilities of a Stephen Spielberg-produced picture.

Rob Letterman's film is a standard kids' movie blend of knockabout comedy and CGI fantasy action, but Detective Pikachu himself is a proper star.

Solid family fun.

Smart, imaginative and sweet, Detective Pikachu offers something for everyone.

Even though Pokemon implores you to "catch 'em all," this is one you're going to want to release back into the wild.

I found this weirdly diverting... It's a counterintuitive fit for this character, and I kind of liked that about it.

A seriously weird and heartfelt film jam-packed with action and chock full of Pokemon - what more could you ask for?

While by no means perfect, 'Pokemon Detective Pikachu' can nevertheless comfortably lay claim to being the best videogame adaptation ever made.
