    Detective Pikachu was the first real movie that showed how pokemon can live in the real world, it made me rethink if pokemon should live in the real world because at any moment, a pokemon could really destroy a whole city
  • @GrahhGrahh
    It made me realize how terrifying a world where humans and Pokémon lived together could be.
  • @MattoxDA
    honestly detective Pikachu was just as good as the sonic movie in my opinion, but people seem to forget that detective Pikachu even exists
  • @Tixthelaw
    Its an alright film for me. I remember seeing the movie knowing nothing about the characters but only knowing Pikachu.
  • @SilvieSteam
    I would like to mention, HOW GOOD THE BUILD UP TO THE VILLIAN HERE IS. In fact you can already find who the villain is in the news office with a random line that roger says, "No one likes you or your Pokémon" as a ditto in the background transforms from a human to a Pokémon. Also if you just paid attention to dialogue he literally confirms it by saying he was the one that harry was working for, which we know was for mewtwo. there's more foreshadowing but this comment is long enough.
  • Detective Pikachu is underreated. For wathever reason I liked Talking Pikachu that at the end I was so sad that he doesn't talk, but well it is somehow.
  • Fun fact: Alex Hirsch, the creator of Gravity Falls, was asked if he wanted to work on this film during early development, but decided to pursue other projects.
  • I really hoped for a pokemon live action, this was really fun to watch and a great time! And when I saw Pikachu I was dying with cuteness
  • I remember seeing this with my grandma in 2019, and I didn't know anything about Pokemon then, but now recently I've slowly been getting into Pokemon, so this is the perfect time for this review. Love your vids May!
  • 7:21 I absolutely love the bulbasours eyes with the blue and green, the eyes do actually kinda look like one you see on a stuffed animal.

    Fun fact: This film is an adaptation of the Pokémon detective Pikachu DS game. You should do a video on that
  • @ftrwrwbg
    For me it’s one of the few examples of a good video game film adaptation. It was because the film actually cared about the source material and tried to tell a story that would actually take place in the world of the games. It didn’t try to totally rewrite the lore it didn’t have a magic portal open up from the game boy world to Earth. If more video game movies actually had something to do with the games they are adapting we’d have better video game films.
  • I should hate the villain, but that fact that they got Bill Nighy of all people is enough to entertain me, I mean I doubt he had any clue as to what was going on but even despite being confined to a wheelchair he still gives such an energetic performance. Plus the ditto fight was really fun, I’m surprised you didn’t mention that
  • If they make a live action show based on the adventures manga that be so good
  • @nicz6081
    0:17 that happened a lot at my elementary school. People would trade Pokémon cards and I didn’t have Pokémon cards
  • Detective pikachu was a big suprise when i watched it. and i loved it
  • In terms of Live-Action remakes of popular Animations, Detective Pikachu was without a doubt one of the better ones. The Pokémon themselves in this movie looked absolutely stunning and translated surprisingly well in a Live-Action setting.
