The Reel Rejects - POKÉMON: DETECTIVE PIKACHU (2019) MOVIE REVIEW!! First Time Watching!!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Thank you to Acorns for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. Anyways, guys, we just watched Pokemon. Detective Hickachu, such a blast. If you did watch the Sun. Oh, Henry Jackman did this guy. I love Henry Jackman. Reck at Ralph.

Starting point is 00:00:17 He did the, what are the films? Night or what are the ones the Secret Service? What is it called? Sarah Halley Finn. The Matthew Vaughn movies. The Kingsman? Kingsman. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:00:31 Did the Kingsman and Captain America, Winter Soldier, and Civil War. They animate him. Yeah. Oh, they animate him. She had big anime energy, I would say. Yeah, for sure. Oh, and that's Suki Waterhouse. By the way, if you did watch this on YouTube, it's thanks to the fine folks over at Praper.

Starting point is 00:00:47 They did a great job editing down these highlights. We appreciate their hard work. And if you can, if you are listening to this on Apple or Spotify, make sure you give us five-star rings. We would appreciate it. so RejectNation Shop.com. And Bill Naï. It's where you can get cool T's like these. That's right.

Starting point is 00:01:05 Yeah. Oh, hold on. Let's see if there's a mid-credit here. There's not. We're going to wait to see if there's NAFTAGRA, but we'll get into it. John, how are you feeling after watching this? I'm feeling all right. I'm feeling like I got to check my Pokedex.

Starting point is 00:01:22 Oh. I got to see what my assignments are. Sorry. It's reminded me of my. deep, deep love for Pokemon Go. Well, John's doing that. I'll go.

Starting point is 00:01:33 I feel, I feel great. I had, I had a ball, a blast. A ball, a ball, a ball,

Starting point is 00:01:40 a ball. I had a blast. I thought this movie also. That's a blast. Yes. Oh, the DJ was Diplo. That's fun.

Starting point is 00:01:46 I thought this movie had a lot of heart. Sure. But also, too, I like that at first. It was very, uh, doubt. Was that the,

Starting point is 00:01:54 sorry. The credits, credited the Pikachu voice in particular. I wonder if that's the, actual like you know anime voice actor i bet i thought it was very interesting to start the film on a very dour note as it did just with the whole mystery of the what happened with the car crash and the dad and then we got this character who's very lonely uh and i could i could definitely identify as him being i i've been at times in my life very lonely myself and a loner um so yeah i thought that was

Starting point is 00:02:26 an interesting style to go on and then we get into you know the the adventure side of it of discovering this mystery. And then obviously with Pikachu, you know, as well, like having amnesia and figuring out his mystery as well. I thought I thought the genres and the tones really blended nicely. I did, again, just one, for the most part, I love this movie, just one minor thing. I thought it was a little exposition heavy in terms of, you know, discussing, you know, what happened with his father understandably so his dad went when missing obviously as we learned

Starting point is 00:03:02 throughout the film uh but i thought like he kind of forgave him really quickly it was like you know like about 10 15 20 minutes and i was like i understand why he saw the note and all that was like there's been a lot of time that you guys have been missing i was like you forgave him pretty quickly but i understand i understand why uh just a minor nitpick having said all that i still again i really enjoyed this film had a lot of heart uh as a Pokemon fan who really failed did it I couldn't, John, you know. We're surrounded by Pokemon in this room, right? I've caught a Seviper, a Morlo, and now I just caught a Lillipup.

Starting point is 00:03:38 Oh, sweet. So it did, it did warm my heart seeing all these. And I thought the animation was really well. As I said earlier, it did give me, it's been a long time since I saw 1988, who framed Roger Rabbit, which I adore that film. Who framed Rager Rabbit? That's going to be a party I throw some day. No, Rager, because there was R in this film, Rage.

Starting point is 00:03:57 That's true. So it just reminded me just in terms of, again, the blending of the animation, although I know that was 2D, like you said, and live action. But also, too, the storyline of, like, trying to discover a mystery within a family member. Like, it reminded me of that as well. Yeah. No, yeah. And I got to imagine they would have pulled in some inspiration from that.

Starting point is 00:04:17 And if we sharedly are correct that this is the director of goosebumps, that actually makes a lot of sense. Because, again, yeah, it's like, I get what you mean. And Goosebumps, I think they more overtly embrace the idea of like, we're really talking up the animation studio wing of our department. It's not just that, oh, there are CG monsters. It's like, no, this is like half animated movie, even though the ideas are kind of the same. And this felt like that to me in a lot of ways with how they, yeah,

Starting point is 00:04:47 just realize the world and society amongst Pokemon. And, yeah, the way that the creatures and the effects had these detailed, and textures and things that gave them tangibility that made them feel like they were in the real world but still embrace the cartoonish nature of what they are and I thought it had pretty much fun within that

Starting point is 00:05:11 you know doling out the rules and I mean like really what it comes down to is like Mr. Mime and Ditto are the two that like really kind of challenge the rules of physics or you know you're like did they melt that Mr. Mime Like, did that Mr. Mime like die or something? That's what we're going to see in the after credit scene, either that or Mew.

Starting point is 00:05:32 It's one of those two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What happened to mine? But no, I mean, I would agree. I had a lot of fun with this. And like I said, you know, I feel like we went to this when it came out. And I was certainly, you know, at least excited to a degree being, you know, a longtime Pokemon kid. And yeah, like this, I like this more than I remember liking it the first time.

Starting point is 00:05:55 And again, this was a pretty fresh experience. Like, I didn't remember a lot of the actual details of the movie and the story and all that stuff. And I haven't, you know, played Detective Pikachu. What I remember from learning about that particular game at the time is that, yeah, Pikachu almost had, I feel like he has like a New York accent or something in the game and has like not the kind of voice you would expect for Pikachu. And coming back into this, I was like, the main thing I remember is that it's Ryan Reynolds Pikachu. And I don't know how I'm going to feel about that in a time and place where we are

Starting point is 00:06:28 even further down the Ryan Reynolds is always Deadpool rabbit hole. And yeah, despite that trepidation, yeah, I was quite charmed by this again. And it won me over the further it went because at first I was like, okay, I appreciate you guys doing something. It reminded me of watching like a Sonic 3 or one of these other types of big IP adaptation that are also trying to bring a little pathos and to bring a little bit more than you might expect to the emotional side of the story, the character side of the story, instead of going, we don't care, you know, just show us cool Pokemon stuff. It's not about the human characters. The human characters are always the worst characters in a Godzilla movie. Just let them, you know, do the, let them fight. And yeah, here, actually, you know, I will say, I like to, because you have the reveal at the end that Harry Goodman is the person you're hearing inside of Pikachu as he was as a means of saving his life he was fused with his

Starting point is 00:07:32 Pikachu and you know put on ice that way and so yeah I actually found this was shot on Kodak 35 millimeter film that is cool as heck and actually probably makes the effects look that much I imagine that probably involves an additional layer of you have to match the film grain and all that stuff. But that's cool. I really like that in a time where they wouldn't have had to have shot this on film they chose to as a film

Starting point is 00:07:58 lover. And yeah, I like the photography. I like the feel of this. And we got a post Toasties. No post credits. What are they doing? You got to set up the franchise. What's wrong with you people? Oh my God. I'm really shocked. There's no post credits. I am too, Andrew. You could have had the mime or you could have had a mew in there. Interesting. Just cut back. Yeah, either some ancient temple where there's like a big stone carving of a

Starting point is 00:08:26 mu, you know, symbol. Or I would have also been down for just showing like a little peek at Ash Ketchum. Like you see. Pika. Hey. But I really wasn't even trying to be punny there. But seriously, like just like you see his hat like turn and just like

Starting point is 00:08:41 just like any of those three would have been like so satisfying. You just see Brock. He's just, Brock hitting on the nurse. Yeah, there's joy. Yeah, like I liked that this show, like as much as early on, I was like, this is kind of a funky tone and stuff. I did like the way the movie kind of shows how to inhabit the world of Pokemon, but also make it clear like, hey, this is a little different from the normal world of Pokemon that you're used to. We're going to go to Rhyme City.

Starting point is 00:09:15 and yeah we're going to go to a place where it's not the usual hey we're just traveling across the land searching far and wide and you know catching Pokemon and battling them and trying to get gym badges and stuff like that it's not it's not about that and actually on the heels of of bantering about the post credits or lack thereof I am sort of it's it's funny watching this I'm sort of like you could do any number of movies in the Pokemon universe and have them be kind of episodic or anthological in that I almost don't need to see Ash or any of them. Like, it would be cool. Like, I'm not going to pretend like I wouldn't get hyped up if they brought out a Pokemon live action movie trailer. And it's Ash and Misty and Brock and all the people. And, you know, like, I wouldn't be opposed to that. But given what this did, I was like, oh, yeah, I am having fun being in the world.

Starting point is 00:10:05 And it's clear that, you know, the people who made this, you know, did their homework and made, yeah, the quirkiness of the world, you know, a living, breathing thing. And I like that. And I thought there were a lot of fun details, both in terms of the Pokemon and in terms of just the human society around them, especially a more integrated society.

Starting point is 00:10:25 As much as there are times where you're like, how would this not devolve into utter chaos? And, you know, like, there are other movies that it is like reminiscent of, certainly. But yeah, like I appreciated the noir tone. And I think the game even probably has something about your searching for your father or whatever. Okay.

Starting point is 00:10:43 And I could be wrong. Again, game experts comment below. I never played it so. I remember in the beginning of the movie thinking to myself sort of like, oh, this is an interesting thing and kind of wondering who it's for. But the more I think about it, the more I'm like, yeah, I guess you would imagine, I think an easy leap to make is like, oh, it's Pokemon. So it's for young children.

Starting point is 00:11:02 But I feel like actually, like, yeah, young children do get into Pokemon. But it is also something that carries through at least until you're like a tween or a teenager. And I feel like the eye line of the movie might be. kind of a nice thing for that age bracket in particular because it does have that thing where it's like you watch it and it chooses like you could have made this in a way that is very much more anime like I feel like the this movie has an animeish quality in that like the oh god I forgot the actress's name already and I and I see it the Suki Waterhouse character uh you know feels like some kind of silent anime villain type or certainly the

Starting point is 00:11:42 like a little you know Scott Lang's daughter Oh Catherine Catherine Newton She felt a bit like an anime character And there are more of those isms They could have brought

Starting point is 00:11:54 I think of all anime And also video game adaptations This is sort of fortunate In that You know Pokemon certainly has All the flourishes that anime has That are very visual

Starting point is 00:12:05 And striking And indicative of that specific medium And they didn't do a whole lot of aping that here, but I felt like, yeah, the tone they took, they could have made this like a very bouncy

Starting point is 00:12:19 kind of movie, and it does have humor, but I thought the tone they took while I was initially sort of taken aback actually was like kind of nice and I think it's because of the fact that they commit enough and Justice Smith is committed to the role and you do get this surprise like, oh, I've been working alongside

Starting point is 00:12:36 my dad and bonding with this guy the whole time kind of thing. Going back to what you said, that was what kind of tied it all together for me. I was like, I believed his reluctance to go on this journey at all. I believed this sort of like my grandmother raised me. I lost my mom in a young age. I don't even really want to go talk to my dad. And that can be a tough perspective to bring to your lead character.

Starting point is 00:12:59 It can be easy to fall into a certain type of angst or despair that is dower. You know, I guess it's the difference between being a bit dour versus being a bit somber. And I think, you know, the somberness, I'm appreciating more and more as I think back on it because the movie does have so much fun. And there are a lot of trappings of like the action of the story that are very familiar in trope and you've seen in other sci-fi fantasy movies and stuff like that. And so, again, it's that thing. It feels like a very now thing to do and a very sort of screenwriterly thing to do. But I do appreciate, again, in a movie that could have just gone for fun and bubble gum. that they brought, yeah, what felt like the right amount of a coming of age and also releasing of trauma

Starting point is 00:13:47 and also, you know, reuniting with, you know, an estranged family member kind of story. Yeah. Hey, guys, I've hit a point in life where I realize time flies.

Thank you again, Acorns for everything that you do. Yeah, no, no, no.

Starting point is 00:15:35 I agree with that. I just think that, again, this is just for me if you were cool with it. you guys in the audience were cool. That's totally fine. I just think that line was unnecessary because of all the things that unfolded throughout the film. And then when we get at the end, I just think like it permeated so naturally that you don't even need that because we see that. He does forgive him. It's like, oh, perfect. Great. Again, it was just an unnecessary line for me personally that didn't need to be there. And also it happened so quickly that it's like, I see that. I forgot

Starting point is 00:16:03 what the line already was. But I just remember in that moment, like, it didn't feel earned and it happened too quickly. But then when it happened to. And at the end, it was like, okay, this makes, this is perfect. You mean like when he's like, I know he's alive and he's like really jazzed up? Not that I know he's alive. I just think like I know that he wanted me to live. I forgot with the line. I forgot what it was.

Starting point is 00:16:23 Something in that. Having some faith in like, oh yeah, my dad would have wanted something for me versus the idea of like my dad was really interested in me. And again, I do remember he read the note of the 21st birthday and I want you to come see me. And so I'm like, okay, I understand he saw that. And that probably went a little bit. way of why he's saying this. But again, it just was really quickly. But, but again, it had with the way things unfolded throughout the film and then it happened, you either could have done that through visual narration or even had that line later on in the film like, perfect. That makes

Starting point is 00:16:52 more sense. I just think it was in the wrong spot is all I'm saying. But yeah, and I also thought too, John, my last point I want to make, besides also too, I love Rhyme City. I thought it was beautiful blend of just world building. And also it had a nice visual style of Blade Runner as well as their own style, but I thought it was cool. That's the most anime thing is like the super tall, bustling, neon-lit city is like, I think, the most anime thing they did here. For sure, for sure. But also, too, I thought it was interesting seeing the contrast between the two families

Starting point is 00:17:25 in terms of Bill Nyei, however you say his last name, and his son, because they were together probably since he was born up to that point. And he basically, you know, to exert power into this thing that he wanted to do, where Pokemon merged with their master or whatever it is. He locked his son up because he probably didn't believe in his vision or whatever. And whereas Ryan Reynolds and his son were kind of estranged and he didn't go with him there after the loss of his mother, you know, they didn't have that relationship, but he didn't lock him up or anything like that. They were just estranged. So I thought the contrast between the two relationships was fascinating where they spent all their time and he

Starting point is 00:18:07 was upbringing him to be his his next in line of his of his empire it's like nope got to lock you up in my little room here while I well I do my thing you've got two sons yeah dealing with resentment and the opposite experience where yeah it's like I resent you because you've been gone on this time and I can't tell if you care at all versus I resent you because this is your whole life and I'm right here and clearly you care more about this and and yeah like it's little things like that that the movie like this doesn't have to do

Starting point is 00:18:40 and I think they did something interesting which is they made very smart economical choices about what to you know

Starting point is 00:18:50 there's always there's always a Plato's perfect heaven version of every movie where you can just have all your cake and eat it to

Starting point is 00:18:56 but I thought this did a nice job of putting details in places where they would hit the most and leaving

Starting point is 00:19:05 some of the other things up to the breeziness of the adventure you know I'm trying to think of a good example of that but yeah it's like because there are some moments where you are just getting like oh here's an exposition

Starting point is 00:19:16 dump like when they do the whole holographic recreation and they're in the lab very cool effect all the time they used it really well realized visually but but yeah when you have when they're doing the whole like oh doctor Anne Laurent and they're like going through the different days of her

Starting point is 00:19:32 research and and it's motivated by the fact that it is like a log but at the same time, I started to register like, oh, this is like a big info dump. Yeah, yeah, no, this is literally just getting us caught up. But yeah, like, in terms of giving the characters some level of giving, it's like they chose to give Justice Smith, the Tim character, the most heartfelt character development.

Starting point is 00:19:59 For sure. And then they complimented that with the themes that you bring in from the Bill Nihy and his son character and other. things surrounding that and yeah the moments in which you check in of the emotion with the sort of emotional tonality of those things I felt at least this viewing were sprinkled in the right places and the right amount to make this feel like one of those movies it's like doing a bit more than it has to or than you expected to it's a little bit better than it deserves to be as people often put it and so yeah it's like I can tell that while yeah this is kind of focused on being a

Starting point is 00:20:36 breezy accessible popcorn movie that a lot of people young and and you know fans who have grown up you know and are older now you know everyone can enjoy this but it does have the right amount of an actual tone and an actual story i think that will you know engage any level of viewer to some extent or another and i like i like that it's like i feel like oftentimes you'll see you know a pretty nifty movie that breezes by but it doesn't leave like a huge impression and i'm not saying like I adore this movie necessarily, but again, this viewing has actually left a stronger impression on me and has allowed me to, again, appreciate the choices happening, especially from the direction and the scripting. And I would, just the way it strikes me, I'm like, I can feel how like the direction sculpted this, regardless of what the script necessarily brought or maybe what was, you know, cut for time or anything like that. like this didn't feel like it was rushed

Starting point is 00:21:34 it didn't feel like it dragged too much I liked yeah that you had the city but you also had these like very woodland kind of areas and stuff like that it's just like a nice contrast from like the glut of deserts we've had lately and stuff and yeah I also like that this is kind of its own

Starting point is 00:21:49 like time has allowed this for at least five six years now to be its own standalone thing and as much as I am like oh you can do tons of stuff in the Pokemon universe with or without Ryan Reynolds you know you know in live action, but you don't have to, and that's nice to. It's weird.

Starting point is 00:22:06 If they do continue the story with them, great if you want to do another story. And like you said, if they want to do episodic or something like that, you could do that as well. I'm down for whatever. I love this universe. So this was fun. I'd love to see them do something else. So we'll see. I mean, I think enough time has passed to.

Starting point is 00:22:23 You could tell different kinds of stories and you can have different kinds of fun. And you could, yeah, do the classic, but you could also do something. And there are tons of other Pokemon games, you know, too, that you could draw from. that have different hooks and stuff. We'll do a gritty MMA-style movie, like Warrior but with Pokemon. Yes, yes. I would love to see Greg's reaction to that.

Starting point is 00:22:41 Go check out his warrior reaction. It's amazing. Really quick, we've got to go through this quickly. What is the budget of this movie, in your opinion? Oh, God. $110 million. $150. Oh, $150?

Starting point is 00:22:56 Okay. I should have gone with $120, my original guess. Worldwide box office. 500 million no 700 million dollars 433 million I'm changing my answer back to 500 million All right

Starting point is 00:23:09 Really quick Critics Rotten Tomatoes 68 Hey Hey let's go Audience This is the 90

Starting point is 00:23:22 79 79 79 There's one thing you might ask me about that I feel marginally confident and it's guessing the critics score, sometimes the audience score. Critics, I'm usually a lot closer on, but I can usually guess whether the audience is at least higher or lower, you know. All right, well, just do a couple because we got to get out of here.

Starting point is 00:23:48 But Tim mentions a gangster film on TV as an old detective movie. The clip being shown is actually Angels with Filthy Souls, a movie within a movie, which was featured in the original Home Alone. The realistic style of the Pokemon were based on the artwork by our Jay Palmer, the movie's production designer, discovered him while he was looking for realistic Pokemon designs on the internet, and he was so impressed by Palmer's artwork

Starting point is 00:24:07 that he gave him a job as the concept artist for the film. Fun. Let's do a couple of spoilers. I wonder if there was where the illustrations at the end. Yeah, that might have been, actually. Let's do a couple of spoilers. Oh, my God, there's so much trivia. This movie's insane.

Starting point is 00:24:19 Dang, dude. Oh, my God, look at the long. It's taking me to get the spoilers. I was going to say. Just do two really quick spoilers. Out of all the Pokemon shown in the film, Only Pikachu is voiced by the original anime's voice actress. Okay.

Starting point is 00:24:32 I apologize, if I'm mispronouncing the name, apologies. I, IQ Otani. Sure. Iqu Otani. Sorry for you. I'm not, I'm not sure. Ikwey, I'm not sure. Ikwey otani via archive recordings in four different scenes when he's not being voiced by

Starting point is 00:24:49 Ryan Reynolds. All the other Pokemon were given new voices or cries with the exception of jigglypuff. Okay. a Pokemon trainer Red appears as a competitor in the Pokemon League during one of Tim's flashbacks Sure

Starting point is 00:25:01 The scene highly resembles The opening of the original Pokemon anime Oh red Yeah That's fun And the Pokemon Theme song is Canon

Starting point is 00:25:11 What the hell does that mean What We're in the Home Alone universe And the universe In which this The Pokemon theme song Is a thing Yeah

Starting point is 00:25:24 And then last one actually. During the Mr. Mime interrogation scene, it seems odd that Pikachu's first guesses as to what he's trying to say is, my problem is that I push people away and then hate them for leaving. This seems like a one-off joke at first, but if you consider he's amnesiac, it seems odd he jumped to that. By the end of the movie, we learned that Pikachu, we learn that Pikachu is hairy, meaning he was subconsciously talking about himself. That's fun. The one he pushed away was Tim, and that he never really reconnected.

Starting point is 00:25:53 Dude, Mr. Mime. We all should go talk to Mr. Mime. Seriously. I know. I need to find a Mr. Mime. All right. Anyways, guys, thank you if you stuck with us this long.

Starting point is 00:26:03 We appreciate it. What did you think of Pokemon Detective Pikachu? Should they make another film with Tim and the gang or just another Pokemon film? Just any more films? Any films at all? Or should we just stop making films ever again? But let us know in the comments.

Starting point is 00:26:20 What did you think of this film? We'd love to hear your thoughts down below. Hope you enjoyed the reaction And yeah, take care Make sure you catch them all And we'll see you guys later I choose you Videos

Starting point is 00:26:33 done Brian Perry Oh my God At the time of shooting this John has not seen the devil's advocates True But it's going on the devil's advocate So I'm so excited to shout us out

Starting point is 00:26:49 So that way John can finally get an idea What this movie's about So, because he's a, because Keanu Reeves' character is a lot like Brian Perry. Okay, that's what I thought, probably. So, you're much more of a Keanu than an Al Pacino? I'm going to swap out, I'm going to swap out the name Keanu with Brian, but I'm going to keep Al Pacino, so you're not that confused. Copy that. Okay, thank you.

Starting point is 00:27:11 So Brian in the movie starts off, he's working at a Burger King. Yes, that sounds plausible. He's working at a Burger King, and then he dips his hand in an air fryer. by accident and air friars back then in the early 90s. So he dips his hand in an air fryer. And the thing that made him such a good cashier, Brian, was that he was able to, you know, use his hands. Now we can't use his hands.

Starting point is 00:27:37 Yes, of course. So he makes a deal with it. It's important. And then one day walks Al Pacino. Okay. And he's like, what? Order's a wopper. No ketchup.

Starting point is 00:27:49 And then he, but he's like, I'm sorry. I can't order a burger for you This is all the first act Damn dude He can't order a burger for him It's way so much happen It's a movie man
