What was your thoughts of the Detective Pikachu movie?

My Detective Pikachu promo card (SM190)

Hi, Tristan! It’s great to hear from you again, and thank you for your question! Despite being sceptical to begin with, I found Detective Pikachu to be a very enjoyable movie. I enjoyed the story and the connection between Tim and Pikachu (played by Justice Smith and Ryan Reynolds respectively). I am a big fan of Reynolds, so I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. It proved to me that Pokémon live-action movies can absolutely work, and I hope that we will see a sequel to it in the future. A big shout-out to the credits of the film too, which were a nice throwback to the original Game Boy games. If there are any readers who have yet to see Detective Pikachu, I urge you to do so!
