What is doom twitter trying to say here?
This is like saying you dont consider Super Mario strictly a video game IP.
Kind of a disappointing result still, on RT it only has a 6.2 critic average. That's middling at best. But I guess that's a good result for a video game adaptation compared to what came before.
Probably shouldn't count your chickens yet though, until more reviews show up. Top critics have it at 29%. :P

wait, do you mean the one with angelina jolie? then no.
unless you mean the one with alicia vikander! ...then no.
I've always liked Mortal Kombat. Good old-fashioned kung fu flick. Not a bad adaptation of its source material at all.
I've never played Ace Attorney but I'm gonna watch the shit out of that.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The movie sounds all right, sure, but most of the reviews suggest the story is very average. And I'm not really all that surprised?
By the sound of things, it'll at least be fun watching Ryachu and the other Pokémon interacting with the world.

He's making this declaration based on the movie's Rotten Tomatoes score. It's in the OP.
I know. That's stupid. If he sees it doesn't like, does this thread still stand. If 100 more reviews are added and it drops, does this still stand?
The tomato knows all. Tell us what is good and what isn't.

Oh my.. 😂
I think I'm more hype for Detective Pikachu than I was for Endgame.
It's a mid-tier Miike film (meaning: weird experiment that didn't completely pan out but is still fascinating) but it's hilarious.
What makes it such an oddity is that it is ULTRA FAITHFUL to the first game. And that game is like 20 hours long, maybe more. So they compressed so much into those two hours. It's Information Overload: The Movie. And it's kind of impressive just for that fact. They just refused to cut anything, lol.
Yo-Kai > Pokemon confirmed.
(I know 5 reviews ain't much but it's still funny)
He is specifically talking about video game movies getting awful reviews, not his personal opinion on it.
He co stared in the DOOM movie. When it first released I thought it was ok not necessarily bad. I saw it recently and thought it was a ok movie that didn't age well.
I feel like Sonic alone is kind of proving this thread wrong no? Even if they fix Sonic's design, everything about that trailer shows how out of touch Hollywood is with video game properties. When we are getting video game movies with the frequency and quality of comic book movies, then the curse will truly be broken.
Came here to mention Ace Attorney. Great adaptation! Doesn't have reviews on RT.
Silent Hill was good, your eyes did not deceive you, in fact the only bad things about it were the fanservice and exposition dump at the end.
However it was an art house horror film, video game connection or not it was never going to be received well critically.
It's not certified fresh and the score is going to go down as more reviews come in. You made this thread too soon.
It will probably stay above fresh, but let's face it, we were all hoping for Certified Fresh, not barely clearing the bar.
That sounds hilarious.
I'll basically watch anything that man is involved in after seeing the first ten minutes of Gozu when I was off work with a particularly nasty fever.
"Yakuza attack dog" :D
But the video game movie curse has already been broken by Wreck it Ralph and Jumanji Into the Jungle...
They still count even if not being adaptations from a game...
Oh!
And how can I forget Infinity War? Clearly an adaptation of Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems for the SNES...😁

Lol, you have shit taste in film if you think that piece of shit came anywhere near close to breaking such a curse.
Have you actually seen literally any footage of the Detective Pikachu game? This isn't a mainline game that's being adapted, it's a 3D visual novel which styles itself a lot like a recent CGI movie.
nobody cares about MC for movies, it's always been about rotten tomatoes
71 is low on RT only if you're one those people who go "I only see 85 and up movies" or if this was a lower entry in a series that has been performing better.
I don't care what Pikachu ends up as, but I do have an issue with how people let these sites dictate the quality of movies before we've seen them. I mean, there are words and context behind those numbers. And not everyone is the same. I like some movies that are considered rotten, I dislike some movies that are considered fresh.
Just asking, do we really want to do this whole review thread debacle like we do for all video games for an entire week before it comes out. Is it worth it?
