Spiderman: Far From Home was amazing!! Peter is definitely a mini Stark. Yes, Tony is alive he's just hiding till it all blows over and he can chill with his family.

Toy Story 4; I very nearly cried! My childhood movies.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu (Non Spoilers)

For as long as I can remember I have been in love with the Pokémon franchise. I watched all the shows, bought all the cards and played all the games, so it shouldn't be any surprise that I was looking forward to this movie very much.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu is about a guy called Tim who has just found out that his father who worked in the Ryme City police force, had died in a car crash. Tim visits Ryme City to say his goodbyes to his father, but finds his dad's Pokémon partner and they can hear each other. Tim discovers that there may be more to his father's death, so Tim and Detective Pikachu try to solve the case.

It's no myth that Video Game movies have not done so well in the past. In fact the only one I hear that is universally loved is Mortal Combat. I've like a few myself such as Rampage, The recent Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia. However none of them are blow your socks off great.

However Detective Pikachu was such a blast of a watch. It's funny, heart warming, and keeps you engaged at every moment. A big win for this film is similar to what Black Panther and Alita: Battle Angel did, and that was build a living breathing world with interesting characters that made you believe you were there when watching it. The chemistry between the characters was well done as well, in particular the relationship between Tim and Detective Pikachu.

Ryan Reynolds as Detective Pikachu is just as amazingly brilliant as you'd think he is. As always Ryan Reynolds is able to give a fun, heartfelt performance while also being able to hit those sad and dramatic notes. You will believe that this small yellow mouse is real and talking.

This film uses Pokémon in super creative ways and doesn't keep telling you what they are and what they can do, just what you need to know. A standout scene that is partially shown in the trailers is a interrogation of Mr Mime.

The Soundtrack was a nice blend of keeping to what the games and shows sounded like and originality at the same time. The film was also filled with references that didn't feel like they were just trying to remind you that it was a Pokémon film. There was so many all over the background and front that I'm sure I have only seen the littlest amount.

It's not a perfect story, has some issues. Some jokes didn't land with me and the CGI was a tad iffy at times but for the most part it worked out.

I hope to see more instalments in the future, Possibly visiting new different characters in the world with different scenarios. Such as a film about someone trying to win the Pokémon League, could be a underdog sports type movie where our lead is using his team of Pokémon to become champion. I also hope that this means other companies will start producing better Video Game movies now.

I had a fantastic time when watching this film and had a even better time when i saw my favourite sleepy bear, Snorlax holding up traffic by sleeping in the road. and with that I give this film a 8/10

Its What Leah Wore time again! This means that instead of showing you what I thought about a book, I’ll be showing you a geeky t shirt that I own, today’s shirt of choice is one of my many Starkid related shirts. I don’t know if you guys know about starkid, but if you like Harry Potter, disney and puppets, you should probably check them out on youtube.
