Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu is GOLD! | Detective Pikachu Reaction | FIRST TIME WATCHING!

Aside from the voice acting he did the whole movie, the 30 seconds of ACTUAL screen time that Ryan Reynolds had, manged to still blow everyone else out of the water. So much emotion and chemistry with Justice Smith.

No one thought a film adaptation of Detective Pikachu of all things would work, yet here we are!

I don't think Mewtwo is ever exactly depicted as straight up 'evil', most depictions of Mewtwo are more like "Mewtwo was experimented on in captivity by scientists and genetically designed to be a killing machine, and it's understandably kinda pissed about that"

I’m so happy you reacted to this! Ryan Reynolds voicing pikachu was amazing

One thing I really love about this movie it broke the absentee parent stereotype. Harry never stopped wanting tim in his life and im goad he made up with his dad

This was such a good movie! It's actually based on a 3DS game of the same name! The only real difference is Tim's mom is still alive, and the R was meant to make the Pokemon rabid only and not as a step to being fused with their owners. Also the game ended on a cliffhanger and it wasn't revealed that Pikachu is Tim's dad, but it's still implied.

Fun fact! It's implied that this movie takes place 20 years after the events of The First Movie (which you saw bits and pieces of) - and that movie came out 20 years before this one! And they got little details spot on - for instance, when Pikachu used Volt Tackle against Mewtwo, he was pretty worn out afterwards. That's because in the games, Volt Tackle injures the user as well! It was such a treat to see this movie in theatres with a crowd full of adult Pokemon fans and still feel that excitement from the first movie all those years ago! So glad you enjoyed it! (And hey, give one of the newer games a try, you might enjoy it! ;3 )

I love Detective Pikachu, i've both watched the movie and played the video game! although i must admit that when i first watched the film it made me think that if they ever made a live action Pokemon film, i didn't think that this is what they had in mind but i enjoyed it nonetheless.

The CGI in this movie is just great. It doesn't look like nightmare fuel. And no offence, but I'm kinda shocked you've never really watched pokemon. Still, great reaction

So this movie was very VERY loosely based off of a game, but this film was great fun, they did the Pokémon aspect really well As for some of the pokémon you asked about; big tongue is Lickitung, the monkeys were Aipom, angry dog is Snubbull, beatboxers were Loudred, 'Vulpix' was actually Eevee evolving into Flareon, and the floating mushrooms are Morelull

Fun Fact: Ryme City is actually a combination of Japan and United Kingdom

One of my favorite funny moments was when Mr. Mime did the smirk after telling Pikachu to shove it.

I’m not a Pokémon fan myself but my friend is. She dragged me into seeing it when it came out so she was sitting there fangirling the whole time whilst I was just-what is going on •-•

I absolutely love Pokémon Detective Pikachu and Ryan Reynolds is so funny as Pikachu. Charizard has always been my favourite Pokémon ever since I first watched! Thank you so much for reacting to this one Cody

This movie had a lot more heart to it than I expected it to when I first saw it. And it’s amazing seeing it again when I only remember parts of it.

I love this movie, it managed to actually be a good video game movie and there’s so many pokemon you don’t even notice on your first time watching it. And Ryan Reynolds is amazing in this! If you’re wondering about Cubone though, it wears the skull of it’s dead mother and is constantly crying which attracts Mandibuzz, it’s natural enemy. So just the standard tragic, dark or scary description that almost every pokemon have.

Detective Pikachu is my favorite Pokémon movie of all time! It is also the very first live action movie in the franchise as well! Ryan Reynolds was so good voicing Pikachu!

This is a great live action video game movie. Most of the time, live action video game movies aren't great. Love seeing your reaction and I hope you stay safe! Edit: The lettering on the building and vial are characters seen in the Pokemon anime and games. Also, not sure if you caught this, but when Pikachu says "sweet mother of Arceus" he's referring to Arceus, the legendary god pokemon that created the pokemon world.

I love this movie ^^ I grew up as a Pokemon Fan and while everyone else in my family was always disinterested in it, they did want to watch Detective Pikachu too so we watched it in theaters together, on my birthday that year It was amazing
