Recensioni in evidenza
I have now seen about 8 of these Lupin III movies, and they can vary wildly in quality. I am a fan of this series, these are fun characters, they work well off of each other and set up fun and unique adventures. And fear not, this is one of the good ones. There are just a few things that keeps it away from being a great one.
First, addressing the tone. This movie is decidedly darker in tone compared to the majority of Lupin adventures. If you come into Lupin for its humor, most of that is being held up by a side story only tangentially related to the main events. This is a more Lupin focused story, with as much for Jigan, Goeman, Zenigate and Fujiko. The new character for this movie, Ellen, is more interesting and plot relevant than most of the female add-ons from these movies.
The setting of the island is an entertaining one. There is an almost constant sense of peril, like our heroes are one wrong look away from being killed. This movie has an intimidating villain and a compelling overarching mystery. The animation style helps compliment the darker more serious tone. It isn't necessarily my favorite animation for Lupin, but it is undeniably a step up from their episodic animation. I also like the English dub of Sonny Strait and Christopher Sabat (Krillin and Piccolo) for Lupin and Jigan.
The movie builds up to an exciting third act, but this is when the main problems begin to arise. Without giving anything away, there is a major plot point that is just ignored. The movie sets up these rules, and apply actions to consequences, but then at the end just say: "nah, don't worry about it." For a movie that is so serious, that plot hole may be the funniest joke of the film.
Overall, it is a good adventure, intimidating villains, compelling mysteries, exciting action and constant suspense. Then the ending has such a large plot point that is just ignored, it is impossible to ignore. But it is not enough to ruin the movie. It still gets a recommendation from me. Give it a watch if you are looking for a darker animated adventure.
A man commits a heinous crime using a Walther P-38 pistol much like the one Lupin has, along with a spooky group of assassins with spider tattoos. This leads Lupin and the gang to the foggy island of assassins.
This is the most serious Lupin special, and also the most violent. It's an intriguing change of pace for Lupin, where he has a serious score to settle from his past. The less known about the plot going in the better, there are some nice twists.
Lupin naturally takes a liking to a female assassin on the island, she turns out to be one of the better guest leading ladies. The scenes between Lupin and her are pretty touching.
The Lupin gang is here as well, with Jigen there to help his partner, Fujiko with a couple nice scenes, and of course Goemon with some great fighting. For the most part they're separate from Lupin in this one, as he is doing his own personal thing, but they do get some decent screen time.
This has a comparatively more serious art style, and is pretty dark looking. The soundtrack by Yuji Ohno is also pretty intense. There's still some good comedy in this though, being Lupin, and Inspector Zenigata provides quite a few of those laughs.
A really good thriller, I recommend giving this one a watch, Lupin fan or not.
The game plan is set, but it doesn't go so smoothly, as chaos erupts and the revelation to who set it all in motion shows their true self. Action, when it occurs, hits hard and fast with few bang-up scenes in the opening and closing sequences. Once the story hits the island, the operation rarely leaves and it can hit a bit of a bump as it slowly chugs along. In doing so, it felt like it could've been tighter and a little less self-contained, but this opened up a relationship struck between Lupin and one of the assassins, Ellen. The script gave it an opportunity to dig a little deeper into Lupin's psyche, and background showing a serious side whenever he's not being coy. This is powerfully projected in its final melancholy scenes of self-sacrifice and pure reflection - finishing on a beautiful end credits song "Don't Forget My Eyes" by Emi Shinohara, the Japanese voice actress of Ellen and who also did voice work for Sailor Moon and Project A-Ko.
