| User ReviewLaura BI don't see why people say that this was a horrible movie. I actually enjoyed it from start till the end. It was just like watching the anime version. The comedy, action and quirky attitude really brings childhood nostalgia. I would especially applaud the castings. Each character was given their moments to show off. Although the whole movie really feels like a preparation for a sequel, the whole movie was great. If ever their will be a sequel, I'm hoping for more extravagant thieving action. |
| User ReviewJH KThe Good: The movie gets plenty of the manga/anime's signatures just right, it feels like truly seeing the characters jump out from the pages of the manga and/or its animated version. Superb casting that picks the most suited actors for each characters. Amazing action, and hillarious comedy moments (especially by Goemon), and enough spy-stuffs to make audience craves to see more. Unpredictable plot, that also harkens back to common vibe of a true Lupin III twist. The Not-so-Good: The secondary characters such as Goemon, Fujiko, Zenigata, and even Jigen many times overshadowed Lupin himself as the titular character. Some of the slow talk moments tend to drag the movie. The english dialogue performed by the characters might be grating to hear for some. There are times when the camera works tend to feel distracting and hectic rather than pleasant to see. |
