Pikachu's model looks really good. Feel like we've stepped it up with CG in the last year or two, it's getting past a point where you go "Good CG" and actually have it look sort of real.

Anyone actually watch the whole thing? Does anything remotely interesting happen? It was cute for a bit.

What gets me is the it legit actually starts off the beginning of the movie, and then it just... transitions to that. Amazing.

Dang. Ryan Reynolds is a treasure. Bet Danny Devito or whoever else people wanted as Detective Pikachu wouldn't be cheeky enough for this sort of social media hype.

Just finished watching the entire thing. Light on plot, but man, can Pikachu dance.

I mean, it would probably be the same marketing team regardless of the actor?
Sure but a less likeable or unknown actor would not be leaned on as heavily. As a marketing exercise the pre release promotion of the movie has been unusual and WB is not just brute forcing it with lots of ads and tie ins, especially having to follow Avengers

They went to where their audience is with a lot of YouTube/Twitter and social media ads. Several of the trailers were tweeted out by Ryan instead of being dropped by the studio

The guys behind the Sonic movie must feel really bad about their main character's looks right now.

I think this is one of those movies that you have to see more than once before you can gauge whether it is good or not. Will report back after the second watch. Right now it is a 6/10. Too dancey.

I must watch all of this and find any hidden messages or codes hidden throughout the video.
