With only a few weeks until Detective Pikachu finally hits theaters worldwide, press screenings are starting to take place with the first one just taking place in Tokyo!

Judging from the first impressions from press, it seems that Detective Pikachu will not fall under the curse of bad video game movies and will be an amazing movie!

Check some spoiler free impressions below:

#DetectivePikachu is a pure joy from start to finish. It’s a heartfelt, relentlessly charming story filled with excellent worldbuilding. Plenty of deep cuts for #Pokémon fans. There must’ve been a grass-type in the theater because I got surprisingly misty-eyed in parts. pic.twitter.com/LMKp6TG1a1

CGI is on point and it’s great seeing these creatures come to life in a live-action setting. @VancityReynolds is the ace in the hole and he brings plenty of laughs to the insanely adorable yellow ball of furry electricity. He’s perfect for Pikachu. @DetPikachuMovie @joblocom

#DetectivePikachu is painfully cute, jam packed with action and will make you wish you lived in the world of #Pokémon more than you probably already do. pic.twitter.com/V33JOkUP3u

Had a fun time with Detective Pikachu. Silly, heartfelt and chock full of Pokémon, which makes for some great world building in what is sure to spin off into one hell of a franchise. Perfectly suited for fans and non-fans alike. #DetectivePikachu @DetPikachuMovie @joblocom
