Pokémon: Detective Pikachu is set to hit theatres in just a couple of weeks, and most fans have been eager to find out whether or not this movie will break the video game movie curse. Press screenings for the film have begun in Tokyo, and so far the impressions are very positive.
#DetectivePikachu is a pure joy from start to finish. It’s a heartfelt, relentlessly charming story filled with excellent worldbuilding. Plenty of deep cuts for #Pokémon fans. There must’ve been a grass-type in the theater because I got surprisingly misty-eyed in parts. pic.twitter.com/LMKp6TG1a1

CGI is on point and it’s great seeing these creatures come to life in a live-action setting. @VancityReynolds is the ace in the hole and he brings plenty of laughs to the insanely adorable yellow ball of furry electricity. He’s perfect for Pikachu. @DetPikachuMovie @joblocom

#DetectivePikachu is painfully cute, jam packed with action and will make you wish you lived in the world of #Pokémon more than you probably already do. pic.twitter.com/V33JOkUP3u
