Pokemon Detective Pikachu

      This live-action adaptation of the world-wide phenomenon Pokémon, A young man named Tim (Smith), live in a world where humans and Pokémon co-exist. He teams up with A Pokémon named Detective Pikachu (Reynolds), to find out what happened to his father, who mysteriously disappeared. This is a movie that I'd say, is between bad and good.


     Parents, I'd say go ahead and take your kids to this film but WARNING: there is one scene (it's in the trailer too) where Pikachu says something that you probably don't want your kids to hear. So, there's the only spoiler alert your getting.

   This film is hilarious! The packed theater was laughing at every single funny thing that happened on the screen, and at some point in the movie, I heard this one guy that was sitting behind me say "This is hilarious." Parents, even though this movie is hilarious, some (if not ALL) of the jokes are more aimed toward adults. So, I'd be cautious about them when taking your kids. overall, it's good.


Final Grade:
A
