Weak protagonist and gamified plot

The plot and characters of Detective Pikachu are extremely monotonous. The plot seems to be a formula that allows people to see, oh, you have a reversal. But the turning point is not so tight, what makes me feel is a plot that keeps popping up, rather than a flowing and natural story, I didn't see the growth of the characters, and I didn't see the role of the characters in promoting the plot.

The character change of the male protagonist is extremely abrupt. At the beginning, he hated Pokémon. The reason for this was finally found in the latter part of the film because the male protagonist's father was too concerned about Pokémon, so the male protagonist hated Pokémon. But this setting is actually too redundant, because the male protagonist doesn't seem to hate it deeply, and he soon likes Pokemon again (who can say no to Pikachu).

The turning point of the plot, that is, the existence of Chaomeng, was actually told by the villain himself to the male protagonist. If the man takes the initiative to find some big guys (I really want to know how he got into the building), for example, the man wants to enter the laboratory, and then he learns something from it. When the man sees a news reporter, the reporter will tell him all the information. , the male protagonist also met Chaomeng smoothly, and Chaomeng told him some information. The male protagonist saw the big boss, and then the big boss told him, although it was deceptive. The whole process seems to be playing a game. The male protagonist encounters certain people on the established program, obtains certain resources, and some information is fake and needs to be screened by the male protagonist. This undoubtedly makes it difficult to enrich the character of the male protagonist, let alone Pikachu, there is basically no reasoning process. In general, the male protagonist is completely played by the villain, and all the key information he has obtained is deliberately revealed by the villain, and when he realizes that it is the villain and not a good person, the villain has achieved his goal. But the villain failed in the end because the headband was snatched away. If I were the villain, I would just stay in a secret corner instead of in front of the male protagonist, leaving only a Pokemon bodyguard (although powerful, But when I encountered the r potion, I died) (the villain died in front of the protagonist pretending to be forced)

Pikachu is even weaker, but as a cute thing, it has no combat power, and even it is not as good as Da Duck in terms of characteristics. Da Duck also caused a "landslide", but the effect of this landslide turned out to be to make Pikachu Injured and then saw the super dream. Really indescribable.

The setting of the scene is even more perfunctory. I saw some film critics say that it is just to add some Pokémon to the human city. Pokémon are accessories of human beings, and they have not seen their own ecology and civilization.

I have seen "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", whether it is the natural and smooth plot, or the rich and interesting setting, this 1988 movie hangs against today's super ip movie.
