Pokémon Detective Pikachu is a 2019 mystery film directed by Rob Letterman. Based on the Pokémon franchise created by Satoshi Tajiri and the 2016 video game Detective Pikachu,[4] it was written by Letterman, Dan Hernandez, Benji Samit and Derek Connolly, from a story by Hernandez, Samit and Nicole Perlman. The film was produced by Legendary Pictures in association with Toho. It is the first live-action Pokemon film.[5] Ryan Reynolds stars as the voice and facial motion capture of Pikachu, with Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton, Suki Waterhouse, Omar Chaparro, Chris Geere, Ken Watanabe and Bill Nighy in live-action roles.
Filming took place from January to May 2018 in Colorado, England, and Scotland. It was released in Japan on May 3, 2019,[6][7] and in the United States on May 10, 2019, distributed by Warner Bros. Entertainment in RealD 3D and Dolby Cinema.[8] It is the first Pokémon film to be distributed theatrically in the United States by Warner Bros. since Pokémon 3: The Movie (2000), and with a PG rating from the MPAA, it is also the first Pokémon film released in the United States not to receive a G rating.[9]
Detective Pikachu received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the creature designs and Reynolds' performance, but criticized the plot as being standard.[10][11] The film is the best-reviewed live-action film adaptation of a video game on Rotten Tomatoes. It also received positive grades from audiences polled by CinemaScore and PostTrak.
