How did Nintendo allow a non kid-friendly version of their character's be used?  I am really confused right now.

This is a mega-cash grab that will make lots of money even if it is a horrible movie.

I am intrigued.

I'm in the same boat honestly confused when I first saw this.

Sometimes he looks cute, but when he isn't smiling, his expressions are kind of creepy.

Not a fan of the "gruff, no nonsense guy" voice trope they are doing here.  They do it all the time with cutesy characters and I'm not feeling it.

Ehhhhh..... not liking the voice acting or the content here.  Looks like it's going to be pretty bad.  Don't like the facial animations, their pretty ugly on the Pokemon.  I'm surprised Nintendo and Pokemon Co. passed off on this being okay.

I'm not a huge pokemon fan, but this looks interesting. I don't know abiut y'all, but I'm getting a lot of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? vibes from it. Plus once you get over the uncanny aspect of IRL Pokémon, it's actually really cool! Pikachu looks freaking adorable being all fuzzy and such, and the Mr. Mine scene was actually pretty damn funny.

I'm seeing mixed results even among us here.  Some are guns-ho excited.  Others not so much.  But everyone seems to be confused and curious.

Ew... no.  The guy's voice for Pikachu is a major no.  It just isn't right.

I don't like the CGI mixed with live action.  I've never liked that in movies.  Just make it all animated...

Not really impressed with what I see.

I think he looks pretty cute most of the time.  I'm sure this will get a lot of money regardless if it is good or not.

I am really more curious than anything about this movie.  I want to see some more vids on it.
