Pokemon is the biggest media brand in the world. Since its inception Pokemon has taken the world by storm from video games, cartoons, trading cards, and toys, so when Warner Bros announced a live action adaption of the famous Detective Pikachu spinoff it took the Internet by storm.
Most surprising was the studios choice to play the title character, actor Ryan Renolds, known for his role in the highly popular Deadpool franchise it was no surprise that fans were shocked by the studios casting choice, however, that all changed when the trailer dropped a few months ago and the hype for the movie reached epic proportions.
And now we have a few early reactions to the movie so let's take a look at what they have to say
OMG! It's soo good

Seriously Entertaining

Wasn't too sold on the final act, but the rest of it is seriously entertaining, whether you know Pokemon or not. Psyduck forever. (Not enough Ludicolo though.) pic.twitter.com/l8lMHeUN49
