Detective Pikachu is a story about a boy named “Tim Goodman” who is trying to find his father in each and every possible way. This movie does takes back everyone to their childhood memory, were we used to watch Pokemon and as every Pokemon were being shown in the movie everyone were just telling the names of each and every Pokemon.
When Tim is in Harry’s (his father) apartment Tim encounters Pikachu that can speak and only he can somehow understand, which Tim thought that he was able to do so because he just inhaled a gas called “R”.
As Pikachu mentioned to Tim that his dad (Harry) is still alive and also was on one big case. After hearing this Tim wanted to investigate alone to what happened to his dad as Tim was able to communicate with Pikachu, which means being able to speak with Pokemon. Which lead both Tim and Pikachu to go on a journey together which happens to also include helping Pikachu get his memory back.
This movie do have various other contents like emotional, comedy, thriller and drama. There’s one emotional part where we see Tim’s connection with Pikachu and his urge to find his father, where it just get into your emotions. But, the movie never goes for the gut. It just makes it clear that Tim has trust and possibly abandonment issues. If you wanted to show this movie to your kid, the story will likely seem awesome since it has Metow as a villain, Pikachu talking and trying to crack a case, the occasional battle and s handful of twists. As compared to those Pokemon that someone who used to watch during the Jesse/James and Team Rocket era.
There are some silly moments also in the movie like Psydusk losing his mind and Tim’s awkwardness. There’s one big question why Tim never realized that the Pikachu with whom he was working had the same voice as his dad. Maybe this could be because Tim hadn’t seen his father in a long time, or it might be something else. Throughout the movie we see that humans and Pokemon typically communicate through their emotions. So, maybe Tim and Pikachu were never actually speaking to each other.
By the end of the movie it was revealed that “Ryan Reynolds” was Tim’s father, were everyone was so much amazed. As there isn’t any post credit scene, it’s quiet a disappointing because this movie was wonderful and such movie didn’t ever existed earlier. So if there is a sequel, it probably might won’t focus on the same character.
Pokemon Detective Pikachu overall rating was positive. As this movie lead you to wonder what took so long for this to become a live action movie?
