Detective Pikachu: The Movie

Found a pretty good music video with clips of the movie interspersed in it.

Some new pictures from the movie (possible spoilers).

Wow, I can't believe I somehow missed that Bill Nighy was in this until those pictures.
 
One of the sites I go to regularly, I can't remember which, predicted that this will be the first ever really good video game movie. It definitely looks like there's a pretty good chance of that to me.
 
I can't remember if anyone posted it here, but apparently the original plan was for Pikachu to be voiced by Danny DeVito. As funny as it might have been to hear that voice coming out of Pikachu, I think Ryan Reynolds voice fits a lot better.
 
Just came across this nice little Extra tv interview. :) He talks about how he got the role and how he prepared for it. I respect any actor who studies up for their role. Big props to him.

So I watched this today.
Avengers has nothing to worry about.

It's an ok movie. In some ways it reminded me of the live action 'Dragon Ball'. It's fairly cheesy, pretty tame and not so exciting for a live action pokemon anime film. Definitely aimed at kids more than adults.

They should have made this a hard R or either just did a full on Pokemon movie.
 
75% on RT, so looks like it'll end up fresh. Started off at 68%, so seems to have gotten positive reviews from critics who took their time.
