(Mild spoilers ahead.)
I am intrigued by how... sincere the tone of this is. It doesn't really attempt to lean into the meta self-awareness of the movie as much as I expected, and somehow it kind of works? It's pretty entertaining throughout, significantly more than it had any right to be. It is very strange however to realize that Ryan Reynolds is at the point in his career where he can play a grown adult's father. When did that happen?
How it entered my Flickchart:
Pokemon: Detective Pikachu < Star Trek: First Contact
Pokemon: Detective Pikachu > The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005)
Pokemon: Detective Pikachu > Ghost
Pokemon: Detective Pikachu > August: Osage County

Pokemon: Detective Pikachu > If I Forget

Final spot: #1563 out of 3108.
