Justice Smith ( Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) plays Tim, a young twentysomething who’s summoned to the massive metropolis of Ryme City for bad news: His estranged detective father Harry has been killed in a fiery car crash. Detective Pikachu hopes to hit the sweet spot on the release calendar between two behemoths, Avengers: Endgame and Aladdin, and good word-of-mouth could lead to sizable profits. will release the event picture in the UK and North America on May 10, and no doubt Reynolds’ voice casting will only help visibility. Those reservations may matter little to legions of Pokémon fans, who have loved this media empire since the mid-1990s. One can’t write off Detective Pikachu entirely, thanks to the film’s giddy oddity Detective Pikachu has real vision, but too often director Rob Letterman seems to have cobbled it together from disparate influences - the film is muscularly constructed, yet oddly hollow. An aggressively cute family film that’s also a spectacle-driven sci-fi noir-mystery with hints of Blade Runner and the third act of every Marvel movie, this adaptation of the popular 2016 video game throws everything at the audience with such vehemence that the sum effect is overwhelming more than it is entertaining. Much like its title character - an adorable little fuzzy yellow whatsit bearing the smart-aleck voice of Ryan Reynolds - Pokémon Detective Pikachu is an odd creation powered by contradictory impulses.
