"Pokemon: Detective Pikachu" is a charming, nostalgic success that should appeal to franchise fans thanks to its good humor and excellent world-building. If you grew up on "Pokemon" as I did, watching this movie feels like you're stepping right into the world of the games and anime. Ryan Reynolds knocks it out of the park as the voice of our titular crime-solver, and is easily the biggest highlight of the cast. He really nails the part. And the direction is top-notch. It's a very well-made film. If you're not overly familiar with the media franchise, the movie probably won't do much for you... but even then, it has enough jokes and fun action set-pieces that you'll likely be mildly entertained. But this is a movie made for the fans, and as someone who was a fan when I was younger, it pressed all the right buttons for me. I'm giving it a good, but not quite perfect 4 out of 5.

Audio problem: When Pikachu has coffee cups all over Harry's office, Tim starts knocking them over. The cups make a plastic/can sound, but the cups are cardboard.

Detective Pikachu: Maybe she can tell us about the long-term psychological effects of being strapped to a baby seat... next to a bomb!

Trivia: The original anime theme song is heard twice in the film. First during the filming of a promo for the Pokemon parade, and second when Pikachu sings a few lines from the song while walking sadly by himself towards the end of the film.
