Warner Bros. and LegendaryWhether a sign of things to come or a beacon of false hope, Pokémon: Detective Pikachu is a darn good fantasy adventure that also happens to be based on a video game. I have no idea if Detective Pikachu is a good adaptation. It’s a detective flick that happens to be set in a Pokémon world. This is not a mile-a-minute action film, and if anything (like, for example, Constantine), this is a fantasy film noir that is pulp detective movie first. Detective Pikachu works because it’s a good movie first and a promising franchise-starter or a brand cash-in second.
