De eerste voorstellingen van Detective Pikachu zitten erop en op sociale media zijn al enkele reacties op de eerste live-action Pokémon-film verschenen.

Daarvan zijn de meeste overwegend positief:

It is better than a Detective Pikachu movie has any right to be … but I’m not sure this one breaks the video game curse for me, a non gamer.

The best parts of #DetectivePikachu are the Pokémon and world building. The plot around that is overly convoluted and frankly, a little boring. I tried to like it but didn’t. I hope fans feel differently.

If Ryme City from #DetectivePikachu was a real place I'd make plans to visit it tomorrow. The movie is a lot of fun and filled with Easter eggs. Pokemon fans are going to love it but it is still welcoming to those that don't the world. pic.twitter.com/cLZcNvzypP

I just got out of #DetectivePikachu and my first thought is OMG HOW DID THEY MAKE PIKACHU SO CUTE!!! It completely nails the world of Pokémon, and just seeing their amazing live action creature designs is worth the price of admission. If you love Pokémon, you’ll love this movie. pic.twitter.com/Z7oS42JlDd

Just saw #DetectivePikachu here in Tokyo and, man, I wish Ryme City was a real place because I really want a Pokémon pal. pic.twitter.com/4cvtG0Uquu

#DetectivePikachu is painfully cute, jam packed with action and will make you wish you lived in the world of #Pokémon more than you probably already do. pic.twitter.com/V33JOkUP3u

Had a fun time with Detective Pikachu. Silly, heartfelt and chock full of Pokémon, which makes for some great world building in what is sure to spin off into one hell of a franchise. Perfectly suited for fans and non-fans alike. #DetectivePikachu @DetPikachuMovie @joblocom

My reactions to #DetectivePikachu: so cute! Fun for the whole family! Pokémon obsessives will be pleased, but Poke novices will be able to follow along—and will maybe even get sucked into the whole world. In summary: I want to cuddle Pikachu.

Lol at all these non-Pokémon playing people reviewing the Pikachu movie and not liking it. Don’t listen to them. It’s cute as hell and if you like Pokémon you’ll love this movie! #DetectivePikachu pic.twitter.com/zzeLHNr69Q

#DetectivePikachu is a pure joy from start to finish. It’s a heartfelt, relentlessly charming story filled with excellent worldbuilding. Plenty of deep cuts for #Pokémon fans. There must’ve been a grass-type in the theater because I got surprisingly misty-eyed in parts. pic.twitter.com/LMKp6TG1a1

For diehard Pokemon fans, #DetectivePikachu is a must see. Never before has the franchise made its pocket monsters so accessible. It balances its massive world with such love, and @standup4justice is as captivating as any Poke Ball.

Wow, Detective Pikachu is easily the best video game movie ever made and a real delight for anyone who grew up with early Pokémon. Who ever thought Ryan Reynolds in a furry ball of cuteness can carry a movie deserves a raise. @DetPikachu

Detective Pikachu might be based on a video game but the film is refreshing & unlike anything out there right now. Wholly original and wildly entertaining. They just don’t make family films like this anymore. Ryan Reynolds is great as the voice of Pikachu. #DetectivePikachu pic.twitter.com/pksrkVJTVU

Major Miyazaki vibes from this scene in particular. @VancityReynolds and @standup4justice made for a super effective duo. #DetectivePikachu pic.twitter.com/dO4gwQNoUY

Just saw #DetectivePikachu!

It was super effective!

Stay tuned for my review on @IGN! pic.twitter.com/jOfQ5RmZOn
