POPCORN-O-METER= 6.9
In my honest opinion this movie would have been better of as
an animation because it didn’t really have the maturity of an actual movie. It
was cliché, predictable and cheesy to say the least. One thing they did well
though was it’s connection to the video game, for example there was a sensible
logic for the rings.
Initially, it was a battle of which would be the better
movie between this and Pokémon: Detective Pikachu. Well for me it’s definitely
the latter, not that The Pokemon movie was perfect but it did the main thing
this movie failed to; draw the line between being humourous and being childish.
After seeing this movie it was like they were both made for different age
groups. One thing they both had though was that crazy person, I’ve always
thought and referred to Ryan Reynolds as the modern day Jim carrey and seeing
them act in similarly styled movies was really exciting for me. But even Jim
Carrey’s brilliant performance (best in the movie by miles) is not enough to
mask the obvious flaws of this movie.
Finally, with the end of this movie obviously hinting at a
sequel and it’s good commercial performance, if the sequel were to happen they
had better come up with something way better than this because they might not
be lucky twice.
