Yet another surprise for me, a Detective Pikachu movie trailer was released last week. As it was a trailer, I don't have too much too say, but I do not necessarily have high hopes for this movie. I am just going to quickly mention that I have never played the game this movie will be based on, so my view of this trailer may be a bit skewed. Starting off with the good things, I loved the tone this trailer set. It was a darker tone, and I think that the concept of a main character that isn't a Pokemon trainer is a welcome change. I also liked the design of Pikachu himself, for being a live-action movie, I find his new look to still represent the character well. The trailer also gets some automatic points for being a live-action Pokemon move. Ryan Reynolds being the voice of Pikachu is kind of a middle-ground for me; I really don't know how to feel about the actor's inclusion. However, I also have to point out the things I didn't like about this trailer. I appreciate the effort, but the other character designs in this move seemed weird and unnatural looking. They creep me out, and even though it will be cool to see them on the big screen, their designs will definitely damper the experience for me. I am on the fence when it comes to the trailer's humor, much like Reynolds' inclusion, and I will have to see more footage to get a better handle on what they're going for. The trailer also loses some points automatically for being a video game movie, as I've personally lost all hope that a good one can be made. Overall, the trailer may have had it's ups and downs, but it was interesting enough for me to make a decision. I am definitely going to see this movie, and you can look forward to my thoughts on the whole film at a later date.
