Pokemon: Detective Pikachu (2019)

Ryan Reynolds Is Playing Detective Pikachu in a Pokémon Movie. What?

Here’s a wild Mad Libs joke of a movie: Ryan Reynolds has been cast to star in Detective Pikachu, a live-action film about the popular Pokémon character.

Ummm, is this fake news?

This looks Deadpool pretending to be Pikachu, and I’m so ok with that.

I know nothing about Pikachu, but my nephews (now in college) LOVE it. This looks like it might be targeted to the edgie college crowd, so it may be good.

Was never into Pokemon but this somehow looks legitimately good.

I'll redbox it for my kids. I feel like this is a decade too late. Granted graphics probably weren't strong enough back then, but just how I feel.

Pokemon is still pretty huge today, especially with Pokemon GO getting people back into it a few years ago.

My 6 and 4 year olds are really into Pokemon now. We got my son the Let's Go Pikachu game for the Switch and that really sent him over the moon, along with the Go game on our phones. He memorizes every little detail and asks for our phones whenever we're driving.

I was too old to get into it in the 90s, but now with my kids, it's become a family thing. My wife and I both want to see this movie, but not sure if it'll be appropriate for the kiddos yet. May be a Redbox rental that we can preview on a Friday night and let the kids watch on Saturday before returning. I will have my nephew that's graduating from college next month give us the low down, because I'm sure he'll be first in line at the theater.
