"Movie And A Show" Thread: Popcorn Optional

Just got out of seeing detective pikachu with some friends. None of them liked it.

It makes me super sad. When we got out of the theater all they did was bitch about it. When they asked what I thought of it I said I loved it and they all looked at me like I was insane.

Sheā€™s older. She had serious cancerā€¦ She was always pretty skinny to begin with. She has a family which can add stressor. Her husband was out gettin international hoes. Aannndd sheā€™s old.

Honestly she looks better than alot of old white ladies in Hollywood who have even less stress.

You need better and happier friends.

Not liking what looks to be a very average movie at best doesnā€™t mean you are unhappy.

Even the Pokefans I have talked to say itā€™s a good Pokemon movie but a pretty meh movie over all. If you arenā€™t invested in Pokemon then I donā€™t really see someone giving a shit.

I can see why people like the movie. But I definitely also see why people didnā€™t like it. I donā€™t knock either of those kinds of people for their opinion. So I donā€™t really blame Stuā€™s friends in this case. Lol

Best parts of the movie are like the first 15-20 minutes and the Mr.Mime scene.

They are though. Itā€™s all we talked about since we made the plans. So I was like ā€œfuck yeah. Iā€™m excited theyā€™re excited. This is going to be a great timeā€ and then when we got out the theater and all the did was bitch about every single little thing it was super disheartening.

I wouldnā€™t say ā€œmeh over allā€ but itā€™s definitely has its missteps. If it wasnā€™t for PokĆ©mon The Movie and arguably Pokemon 2000 it would be the best PokĆ©mon movie available right now though.

Itā€™s such an amazing love letter to all the mediums PokĆ©mon have been in. Tv, Video games, Anime, movies, real life pop culture, the mangaā€™s. Everything. They put so much thought, care and love to making the real and fantasy of PokĆ©mon blend together so well. Thatā€™s what makes it so great to me.

It feels like more a celebration of everything PokĆ©mon has achieved and how it was apart of millions of peopleā€™s lives growing up or even still in their lives today or those people passing their love of the franchise down to the next generation.

Them being Pokefans might make them even pickier then otherwise. It could easily go both ways.

I havenā€™t seen it but the trailers donā€™t make me want to see it and peopleā€™s impressions have been incredibly mixed.

Keep hearing Mr. Mime is the best part lol.

It didnā€™t even remotely come across that way. Iunno. Either way it was super disappointing that they felt that way.

Just gotta shake off their negativity and get hype for John Wick 3 on Thursday

I did see a headline the other day that said Detective Pikachu is the worst videogame movie of all time. My eyes bout rolled out of my head at that fucking nonsense.

The must not know about the entire Resident Evil Cinemaverse. Or Doom. Or Bloodrayne. Or Silent Hill. Or MK: Annihilation. Or Hitman.

Edit: how could I forget Final Fantasy: Spirits Within? Or Pixels?

I could go on for a while.

John Wick 3 tickets are on sale at my theater now. But it says at the bottom of the page more viewings will be available for purchase tomorrow. So Iā€™ll wait til then. I want to see it Thursday but I donā€™t want to see it at 7pm. If they have a 4PM showing like they did for Detective Pikachu and Godzilla then Iā€™ll go on Thursday. If not, I have no issues waiting until first showing Friday. Which is at noon.
