First of all, I haven't watched POKEMON's cartoons and comics, nor have I played POKEMON related games, but just a few years ago when the APP game POKEMON came out, I was addicted to it for a while.
Of course I believe that if you like POKEMON, you will definitely love this film. This film has POKEMON feelings, cute and suffocating Pokémon, and Hollywood industry as the backing CGI, let the film be in the story and role In the case of not being brilliant, it is still fresh in some clips.
"Detective Pikachu", I believe that many people will be willing to pay for this movie. Such an IP has a super fan base, and it is bound to be on the big screen sooner or later, reaching a larger audience, and of course, earning more box office by the way (In other words, earning the box office is more focused).
——Spoiler alert line——
The film tells the story of the protagonist Tim’s detective father who disappeared (died) in a mysterious accident, so Tim and his father’s original partner Pikachu began a story of searching for his father and finding the man behind the scenes.
The story is such a story, but how to weave a wonderful plot on this story is another matter.
As a new live-action Pokémon movie, "Detective Pikachu" has too many explanatory plots to carry, but the film does not want to be presented in a flattering or more advanced way, but is very forced to explain.
For example, when Tim and his friend went to catch a Krakla’s Pokémon, it was purely to show the classic Pokémon catching part of the game or animation. This part of the scene has no connection with the subsequent plot.
For example, for the sake of Lyme and the background of the film, when using Tim as a high-speed rail to travel to Lyme, a "viewing guide" was broadcast.
After entering Lyme City, the city was set to be a place where people and Pokémon live in harmony. We can also see many popular Pokémon in Lyme City. The structure of Lyme City also makes people have " The sense of sight of "Crazy Zoo" is a utopian city full of imagination.
But if you think carefully about it, the blueprint of Lyme is actually quite different from "ZooCrazy". In ZooZoC, the facilities in the city, whether it is infrastructure, transportation, or activity area, are based on each The living habits of each species are tailor-made, and even man-made climates can be built.
But in Lyme City, it is actually just a re-creation of the urban elements of London and Tokyo. The infrastructure of Lyme City is based on people, and Pokémon is incompatible with the city.
So Lyme City only allowed Pokémon to enter Lyme City in terms of policy, but if Pokémon is suitable for Lyme City, the film did not expand much. This is indeed a pity. The film allows the audience to see the harmony between humans and Pokémon. The social form of coexistence, but in terms of the display form of the hardware, it failed to do much homework.
It seems that all aspects of the film, just like the city construction of Lyme, only touched the surface, and failed to study in depth. The whole film is only for the purpose of eliciting more Pokémon.
After Tim's father disappeared, his detective friend Ken Watanabe was also an explanatory actor with minimal functionality. It was used to explain the unhappy relationship between Tim and his father and explain the progress of some cases.
This kind of explanatory character even appears in the heroine. Except for Tim and Pikachu, many characters have too obvious storytelling tasks. After they are responsible for promoting the story, the characters themselves do not have any three-dimensional shaping role.
Of course, in many commercial films, character creation is not the primary goal. The plot task is the focus of the film. In fact, "Avengers 3 and 4" is such a plot mode, but there are more than 20 Marvel movies in front of them. Superheroes in China, so the audience’s sense of substitution is different.
Well, if the role of "Detective Pikachu" is not important, what is important is the plot, and the plot of the film is not handled carefully enough, the most important reason is that there are too many coincidences.
Usually in script creation, there can be only one coincidence event in a movie, and this coincidence event can be between characters, such as the father-son relationship between Vidas and Luke in "Star Wars".
Or a coincidence event can also be on the plot. For example, Mickey Mouse in "Avengers 4" pressed the button to open the Ant-Man quantum space.
In the suspense detective type of film, it is often because of a coincidence that the whole story has a turning point. You can brainstorm "Detective Conan". Almost always, at the end of the film, Conan suddenly gets a key clue by accident or coincidence. , Let the case be resolved.
The title of "Detective Pikachu" is "The Big Detective", a detective film that should have a rigorous logic and can make a fuss everywhere, but there are too many coincidences in the plot, which has caused the conviction of the film's plot to decrease.
For example, the heroine Lucy, when the plot fails many times, her appearance can solve the problem.
And the big boss Howard, Tim and Pikachu came out of the police station and got into his car seamlessly. Howard used holographic imaging to push the plot to the next step, instead of Tim and they found clues through investigation.
When Tim and the others arrive in the laboratory, they will also use crude holographic imaging to complete the plot secret.
In the end, Pikachu was rudely letting Pikachu walk to the accident site unknowingly, and found clues many days ago. He explained the mystery with a few lines of dialogue. The police and detectives who co-authored the entire city of Lyme were fools.
Although the story structure of "Detective Pikachu" strictly follows the pattern, for example, there must be a play at the beginning, the front is foreshadowing, and the cute pet Pikachu appears in 15 minutes, and then enters the main topic. Three-quarters of the protagonist of the film has to enter "Nothing "In the stage, so Tim and Pikachu had a quarrel with each other abruptly, and finally the protagonist had to fight to save the world and so on.
The strict scripting of the film, on the contrary, lacks the agility of the story, and the complex and huge world of Pokémon, the film has to carry too many explanatory burdens, and at the same time develop the plot. This is not what ordinary screenwriters and directors can accomplish. .
It can only be said that "Detective Pikachu" has passed and completed all the things to be explained, but it is not beautiful, and it can even be better. This also led me to watch the movie, although some sections were still fresh, but I didn't have any desire for a second brush, but I watched "Crazy Zoo City" several times.
Although Pikachu has a lot of scenes, he always feels that he is just selling cute and functional characters, and can't show the protagonist consciousness, and the human protagonist Tim failed to increase the score of the film. After all, the main feature of the film is "Detective Pikachu".
I don’t know if the budget of the film cost is limited, whether the budget is given to Ryan Reynolds, or it is burned on the real Pokémon without a sense of disobedience. Tim, who plays the lead role, is considered a big failure in the film. In terms of popularity, acting, handsome and cool index, Gastis Smith, who played Tim, made me very much in acting.
This is several times worse than watching Scarlett starred in "Ghost in the Shell".
Why did Hollywood make such violations when adapting well-known Japanese IPs?
Finally, I gave a personal rating to "Detective Pikachu" with a score of 6.8. The film tried hard to promote the cute Pokémon to every audience. I did it. If you only want Pikachu to turn you, fast forward Cinema!
