Detective Pikachu is a very funny and enjoyable movie once you get past the slow start. This movie is about a boy who comes across a talking Pikachu who also happens to be a detective. Together they team up to find the boy's missing dad. Justice Smith gives a good performance. He does a great job playing against a completely CGI creation and is likable to watch. Ryan Reynolds is fantastic voicing Pikachu. He is absolutely hilarious while also nailing every single emotional scene. Kathryn Newton gives a great performance in her supporting role. She has an excellent dynamic with Smith and their interactions are fun to watch. Bill Nighy and Ken Watanabe are a lot of fun in their small supporting roles. Rob Letterman did a fantastic job directing. The visual style is incredibly unique and the action sequences are equally funny and thrilling. The script is really good but starts off weak. The first 20 minutes are necessary to the plot, but the movie does not really get going until Ryan Reynold's character shows up. The visual effects are incredible. All the Pokemon look fantastic and I always believed they were there. At 104 minutes the movie starts slow, but once it gets going the movie flies by. Overall, Detective Pikachu is an incredibly fun movie for anyone, you just have to get past the slow start.
7.5/10
