Pokémon: Detective Pikachu (Rob Letterman, May 10, 2019) Movie • Page 19

This movie will bring me joy until the Sonic movie sucks all life from my veins

 

Junichi Masuda (composer of every Pokémon game) shows up at the Tokyo premiere

 

Nice, I see they gave him the VIP treatment haha

 

If there isn't a detective hat pooch in Go this week, what was the point?

 

I'm just going to pretend it doesn't exist. Zero desire for that film to be made

 

Agreed.

 

I love stuff that's bad especially with Sonic so I want it all

Like I fucking love the edginess of Shadow and the ridiculous voice acting in Adventure 1 and 2....honestly just all 3D Sonic stuff I love to enjoy more than 2D Sonic

 

I mean I watched the ratchet and clank movie so I’ll for sure watch sonic in theaters.

 

Wtf there was a Ratchet and Clank movie?

 

I’m seeing Sonic opening night regardless, I need to see that train wreck with my own eyes

 

Just... I NEED to see Jim Carrey’s take on Dr. Robotnik. It sounds like such a train wreck

 

So happy we’re getting the greatest and worst video game movies of all time in the same year

 

yes it was only in theaters for a month and now it’s on Netflix.

 

Wow, and it's a fairly recent film too. Had zero clue about it haha. Looks like it wasn't very well-received.

Looks like it isn't on Netflix US

 

It must have got taken off because it was on there a few months ago when I watched it lmao

 

This is hilarious

 

If I can convince myself to do my homework early this week then I will 100% be watching this on Tuesday. That’s a big if tho

Edit: wait! No, I’m wrong. The following Tuesday lol

 

I still have a soft spot for the Super Mario Bros. movie

 

Ahead of its time.

 

bought my tickets for 5/9 as i was walking out of avengers. had to get in on the true ultimate cinematic experience of the year.

 

The best defense of the "Super Mario Bros." movie I've ever heard was when someone pointed out that if the movie were directly based on the video game it would be really boring, as all Mario did was go from one side of the screen to the other and jump on Goombas. Of course the movie needed to add more to the story.

That being said, what they added to the story was... not Mario at all. But if you take away all of the Mario-ness of the movie it's kind of decent, in a trippy steam-punk late 80s/early 90s kind of way.

 

I recently listened to the episode of The Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show where he interviews a SMB movie historian

The Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show - The Super Mario Bros. Movie's Historian

 

The absolute WORST video game movie is Street Fighter. I don't think it's close.

 

I saw that movie twice in theaters as a kid and also felt it was bad. But this oral history of the movie with the screenwriter turned director Stephen de Souza is worth the read.
