In \u201cPok\u00e9mon Detective Pikachu,\u201d billed as the \u201cfirst-ever live-action Pok\u00e9mon adventure,\u201d detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim (Justice Smith) to investigate. He\u2019s helped by his dad\u2019s former Pok\u00e9mon partner, Detective Pikachu (Ryan Reynolds from \u201cDeadpool\u201d). Wonderland sent our intrepid 6-year-old and 10-year-old critics (and their Mom) to check it out. Spoilers ahead!<\/p>\n

6-year-old: It starts with a car crash.
\n10-year-old: The last Pikachu finds this guy [Tim] whose father died and that Pikachu turned out to be his partner.
\nMom: His dad was a police detective who died in a car crash. Or did he really?
\n6: Actually, his dad did not die in a car crash. Remember the end.
\nMom: I remember. That\u2019s the question in the whole movie: Is his dad really dead or what happened? Tim befriends an intrepid reporter who knows there\u2019s a story here and tries to uncover the truth. The humans are live-action and the Pok\u00e9mon are animated.
\n10: So they go out and they work together and try to stop this evil guy from turning the entire city into Pok\u00e9mon. They captured a Mewtwo. They used the Mewtwo to get a substance they called R. It would make Pok\u00e9mon go wild kind of and they would attack everything and everybody.
\nMom: It would make their eyes turn purple and they\u2019d freak out and start acting crazy.
\n6: Danger. Super scary. Do not watch. It makes all the Pok\u00e9mon killer and they invented it by making Mewtwo.
\n10: Kind of.
\n6: It\u2019s a super strong Pok\u00e9mon and I haven\u2019t got straight how they made it from a fossil. Because first I thought they made it from Mewtwo. Because how could you get DNA from a fossil?!?
\nMom: It\u2019s a city where people and Pok\u00e9mon live together. Usually they\u2019re wild and people enslave them.
\n6: Actually, they don\u2019t really get slaved or captured. They just, like, it\u2019s hard to explain.<\/p>\n
