You can never be quite sure what you're going to get with a video game movie adaptation.

That Bob Hoskins debacle was so bad that, like Superman 64, it almost single-handedly made us fearful of the very concept of a video game adaptation (whether it be a game-of-the-movie or a movie-of-the-game).

While an Annie Award may not be the most widely recognized of commendations, at least Detective Pikachu will be remembered for more than just being a video game film. Source:
