Pokémon: Detective Pikachu - Recensioner

Det känns stundtals nästan som att Pokémon finns på riktigt, och mitt 7-åriga jag, begravd under lager på lager av arthouse-rullar, jublar euforiskt.

Effektfullt, påkostat och välgjort om leksaker med vuxna bekymmer.

...this film introduces a Pokémon-noir element by which the Pikachu’s yellow fur becomes just about the brightest thing in the film’s color palette.

...almost works as a foundation for a franchise. If it’s hit, and it likely will be, I’ll actually look forward to returning to this world.

...as a buddy comedy it is heaps of fun.

Without Reynolds this would be pretty run-of-the-mill; with him it’s a perfectly acceptable family movie.

...from the second he appears, Detective Pikachu is Reynolds’ to command, his every wisecrack, protestation and throwaway aside generating a smile, a chuckle or a guffaw.

As the wisecracking voice of Pikachu, Ryan Reynolds deserves some sort of special citation for doing the best he can without Deadpool’s f-bombs...

The Ryan Reynolds-voiced family adventure seamlessly merges animation and live action.

...blandar nostalgi med futurism...

...[vi] kastes ud i en klassisk noir-fortælling om skumle skurke, kvikke kvinder og nuttede pokémons. Okay, så helt klassisk er det heller ikke. Underholdende er det derimod.

Reynolds' performance as the overly caffeinated Pikachu makes this family-friendly mystery fun for more than die-hard Pokémon fans...

...en sammensat, sukkerhyper popcornfilm, flikket sammen med lige dele kynisme og nostalgisk iver...
