It certainly wasn’t my first choice of source material for a movie to adapt, and it seemed entirely out of left field.
It feels safe to say that no one really knew what to expect from Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, the first live action movie based on the mega-successful media franchise that’s into its second decade.
Like many others, I was feeling pretty indifferent to Detective Pikachu… until last week when the first trailer’s arrival made me do a total 180 on the film.
Of all those beloved video games, they went with the one where Pikachu cosplays as Sherlock Holmes.
