Wow.

So Detective Pikachu got a 69% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 8.5 on IMDB. That is AMAZINGLY HIGH considering how most of these critics probably aren't Pokemon fans and can't entirely appreciate the content. And there's the fact most video game to movie adaptations go horribly into the gutter, and yet here Pokemon is going out on a limb trying to make the critters seem as realistic as possible, which has been tried before on a small-budget level with not-so-hot results.

I was going to see it anyway while prepared for the ratings to be iffy, but this is a great sign, though!
