Have you seen the advertisement for this movie?
Unpopular opinion but I think this movie will do Avengers 4 numbers and not only stop there but even making more than End game.

Doesn't say much really, most early reactions of any movie are always positive.

Most movies do this, I usually only watch the teaser trailer and the first trailer because of it.

I think it'll be a less divisive movie too. Suffice to say Endgame has some controversial moments and resolutions

I did not realize this is out a week from now. I thought it was a late June release. I guess I subconsciously believed Avengers: End Game would be given time before another notable film would be able to take money and audience away.

Big spoiler in this one

Spoiler:

RED

Sometimes all you need is drive.

Spoiler:

So Red is Japanese. Interesting, if they ever do Ash in a live action adaption I bet he'll be Asian and watch all westerners complain.

[Allio]

Well hopefully they won't do Ash. Though I figured it would be Ash in name only.

To get myself hyped for Detective Pikachu I redownloaded Pokemon lost silver for some nostalgia.

I watched it at an employee screening. I loved it. It definitely felt like a "what if Pokemon existed in the real-world" type of movie. I recommend it completely.

I loved it. All the best Pikachu moments were in the trailers, but the rest of the story was strong enough to sustain the movie. I had few questions, and they're mostly nitpicks, but overall it's well worth your time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Detective Pikachu. This is how Hollywood should do live-action adaptations of video games. The story was clever, funny and action-packed.

Spoiler:

I kind of had a feeling from the start that Harry had been fused with Pikachu. Plus, it was nice seeing Ryan Reynolds as the real human form of Harry at the end. At the start of the movie I thought they were giving MewTwo a new origin story, but I was wrong because they had acknowledged that he had escaped from the Kanto region.

I didn't love the movie like I thought I would, but I liked it a lot and it's not bad at all and as great of a live action adaptation of Pokemon as it likely could've been, you can tell that it was done with lots of care.

My complains: Mewtwo feeling a bit shoehorned into the story and the whole final act felt a little too superhero movie to me and was unnecessary. I didn't like the final villains plan in the end or even the twist. The movie having a happy ending was also a bad decision.

I want more live action Pokemon movies nothing "main series" but more spin-off like stories like this one, and man oh man that final vignette before the credits was beyond awesome.
