Detective Pikachu Social Media Impressions

[ReiGun]

The Japanese premiere of Detective Pikachu just ended, and so did the social media embargo. And it's looking like....









.....looking like a W.

 

[TaySan]

Can't wait to see this!

 

[Fat4all]

the makers of this movie obviously know the difference between NPCs and RPGs

 

[Ocarina_117]

Very excited for this one.

 

[jack_package_200]

I am so excited for this.

Movie looks so delightful

 

[Wyze]

So the videogame movie curse is finally broken?

 

[MasterYoshi]

I hope Pokemon becomes the next MCU.

 

[chrisPjelly]

I want to see how old guard critics feel about this lol. Not that it needs to, of course

 

[Ogodei]

A friend of mine scored sneak-preview tickets so I'm going to see it tomorrow night. Can't wait!

 

[Zubz]

I want this to be fantastic. Glad it's panning out that way!

 

[Wyze]

Ryan Reynolds also dropped this yesterday.


I feel Psyduck is gonna be best pokeyman

 

[Keyouta]

I sure want it to turn out well, these impressions and the trailers certainly give me hope.

 

[Einchy]

Is the curse over? Finally a good video game movie?

No, Mortal Kombat isn't good. Stop playin'.

All of jelly

I hope you post your thoughts!

 

[Dierce]

Can't wait for this movie. Pokemon is probably the only franchise with the pedigree to take on the MCU and maybe even succeed it.

But its fun tho

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Saying it's the best video game movie ever made is kind of a low bar to climb over, but hopefully it's a good movie in general.

So Japanese movie hotdogs are just as expensive and overpriced as American movie hotdogs ,
they can't keep getting away with this!.

 

[Xavi]

 

[BWoog]

This movie is going to make so much money. What's its production budget?

 

[jon bones]

It's really happening - can't wait for this to grow into a universe of movies.

 

[Xavi]

 

[Lotus]

Yay for broken curses

 

[DragonSJG]

This is going to make the Sonic movie look so bad

People saying there aren't good video game movies when this exists...

Anyway, happy for Detective Pikachu. It looks really good.

 

[KtotheRoc]

The MCU had a good run, lol.

 

[Deleted member 2802]

>2nd time viewing

Mortal Kombat is good for its genre (and 'video game movies' is not a genre).

It's just that only films that are great for that genre are actually good as movies.

Pokemon's movie pedigree is a joke compared to MCU. Even Star Wars has had better consistency in quality and box office totals.

 

[JakeNoseIt]

I
Am
So
PUMPED

 

[Jon Carter]

I was a little less enthused than those people, but it was good nonetheless. I hope it does well and spawns more movies.

I don't think that poster is talking about the movies. Pedigree as in the whole universe itself.

Exactly that. It's one of the best known IPs in the world.

 

[Stinkles]

I literally can list everything I know about Pokémon below :

Pikachu
Charmander
A pika is a real animal
Ash always loses I think?
Ash wears a baseball cap?
There is a mean rival team.
Some memes.


But the trailer looked fantastic.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Never bet against Pokémon

 

[Lotus]

Ash always loses I think?

Correct

 

[louisacommie]

hope a bunch more Nintendo ip beyond Pokemon and Mario get green lit in the coming months after this succeeds

 

[clemenx]

Watching this movie will be the greatest moment of my life.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

I saw the original pic of Pikachu and was like oh god this has a 99% of being nightmare fuel terrible. But seeing part of the trailer and the environment/character in motion, I admit it looks pretty good.

 

[kurahador]

The premiere week is going to a mess with parents bringing their loud kids in. Will watch it after 2 weeks at least.
