Lupin III: The First

I grew up watching Lupin and even reading the mangas. I can see how the movie has missed certain beats that makes most quality Lupin outings "Lupin", but honestly I was just hit with a vibe that didn't take me out of enjoying this. It still feels like Lupin, the banter is pretty close and all the cheese and humor is pretty on point too. It's not the best Lupin, but it's definitely not disappointing. Also, that animation is bananas. 👍🏻

I really enjoyed watching this movie. The story is well written and well represented. Also the characters are well characterized. I love this new style of 3D animation and i hope there will be more movies like this. I suggest it to all and not only to the fans of the famous thief. KY

I had never seen anything related to Lupin III before watching this movie, so this was my first experience with the franchise, and I was very impressed. Above all, the animation and art style of this movie is fantastic. The original character designs are perfectly translated into 3D. The music is also fantastic, providing a great adventure-y feel to the story. The story itself isn't groundbreaking, but it is great for newcomers to Lupin like me. It does a great job in just the first few minutes showing each of the main character's personalities through the beautiful anime opening-style beginning. Overall, I would gladly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a good, fun time, and I can't wait to see what else Lupin III has to offer

If you are a Lupin fan like I am (been watching him for 40 years) then you should enjoy this , ok I agree the cgi doesn't have the charm of the anime, but the characters are close enough , and what's more important the underlying characters are there so it feels right, sit back enjoy - decent storyline- good animation , definitely worth a bag of popcorn and a kiora anyday... hmmm and the halftime ice cream .

Lower your expectations! This is a kid's movie. But it is a very good one, and quite worth the watch if you come in expecting to have a nice time and not over think what's going on on screen.

I feel like the movie itself eases you into such a mentality by itself and very early on.. so I was fine with every cliche and "expected" twist. I'd go as far as to say this isn't as "grand" as Tintin's movie Adventure. It's much smaller in scale and plot.. but as a fan of the character, this movie delivered in a fun adventure.

What I love most about this movie is (the look, of course) the small movements, details and interactions. The new female character is lovely and everything is expressed properly. You can tell that the people that animated this put a lot of time and effort into it. The same with whoever was in charge of dialogue (Japanese).

All in all, I recommend it for the piece of art that it is, and the cool animations.
