10/10 movie for fans.
7.5/10 movie for everyone else.

Usually when it comes to live action versions of video games/animes/cartoons, I prepare for the worst representation possible. But this movie didn't have a single thing that would make me cringe. Everything felt par for the course with Pokmon. And it could even fit within the timeline/universe of the games.

The plot is fairly predictable but it's not entirely childish. My adult friends who never played or watched Pokemon were thoroughly entertained by it.

I recommend it.

It was entertaining for sure. Really, the only thing I could complain about was the end villain/their motivation (seemed kind of stupid to me, but I'm not really sure what else they had to work with). I also would have liked to see a greater variety of Pokmon. Seemed like most every shot had pretty much the same ones wandering around.

Other than that though, I expected a decent movie and got a decent movie.

Ive been a fan of the games since 1997 and thought it was a dumb movie. I lost interest right about the giant Torterra scene.

None of the humans were from the games or anime. Not even name dropped. Kanto and Sinnoh were named as places far away though.

The movie succeeded on very important level, world building. It did a great job creating this world with humans and pokemon. It would have been too easy to have Pikachu exist in another reality and suddenly appear in the real world. That old cliche needs to die.

No but the Mewtwo in the film is implied to be the same one from the gen one games.
