The human actors are pretty weak in this movie and it definitely hurts the film a bit. But as a pokemon fan there is a lot to enjoy and the story is decent enough to have a fun time with it for an hour and a half. I'd give it a 7/10, pretty good overall but needed a stronger cast. Ryan Reynolds definitely carries it as Pikachu
