Pokémon Detective Pikachu - Reviews

...almost works as a foundation for a franchise. If it’s hit, and it likely will be, I’ll actually look forward to returning to this world.

...this film introduces a Pokémon-noir element by which the Pikachu’s yellow fur becomes just about the brightest thing in the film’s color palette.

...as a buddy comedy it is heaps of fun.

Without Reynolds this would be pretty run-of-the-mill; with him it’s a perfectly acceptable family movie.

...from the second he appears, Detective Pikachu is Reynolds’ to command, his every wisecrack, protestation and throwaway aside generating a smile, a chuckle or a guffaw.

As the wisecracking voice of Pikachu, Ryan Reynolds deserves some sort of special citation for doing the best he can without Deadpool’s f-bombs...

The Ryan Reynolds-voiced family adventure seamlessly merges animation and live action.

While video game movies haven’t had the best track record, this movie is by and far the best example of how to do one right.

Reynolds' performance as the overly caffeinated Pikachu makes this family-friendly mystery fun for more than die-hard Pokémon fans...

Blade Runner meets Pokémon in an eye-boggling, suspenseful kiddie-noir triumph

Det känns stundtals nästan som att Pokémon finns på riktigt, och mitt 7-åriga jag, begravd under lager på lager av arthouse-rullar, jublar euforiskt.

...[vi] kastes ud i en klassisk noir-fortælling om skumle skurke, kvikke kvinder og nuttede pokémons. Okay, så helt klassisk er det heller ikke. Underholdende er det derimod.

Effektfullt, påkostat och välgjort om leksaker med vuxna bekymmer.
