Detective Pikachu is a very entertaining and solidly constructed kids film that can be enjoyed by everyone. It follows the trusted action film formula of dispensing a little bit of narrative and then following it up with an action scene. It's serviceable and the humor from Ryan Reynolds being Ryan Reynolds carry the slower parts. While it does have flaws, it also has Pokemon. So many Pokemon. And they're all cute! Also, beware the Ditto...
