The Week I Review | Pokemon Detective Pikachu Does What I Needed It To Do | Movie Review @TheWeekIReview | Uploaded May 2019 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Entry 38: Pokemon was a massive part of my life when I was younger. Somewhere, I still have that holographic mew card from Pokemon: The First Movie. And though that's fallen off, I'm very excited for the new Switch experience later this year... and I was soooo excited for this new movie. I saw it twice in about 36 hours: First in normal 2D on Thursday evening, and then again in Dolby Cinema Saturday morning.

Childhood, fulfilled?

Note: I know that not everyone has loved Pokemon Detective Pikachu nearly as much as the headlines I quoted, but it made more sense to me to quote those publications than ones where the film critics are nothing but, ya know? Everything here assumes a prior love for Pokemon.. because everyone loves Pokemon.
