Détective Conan: L'Étoile à 1 Million de dollars

The Million-Dollar Pentagram feels more like a cat and mouse game than ever, with more screen time spent chasing each other rather than chasing the Black Organization. The cast is missing "The Criminal", and the exclusive soundtrack is a godsend. The movie is not excessive in incorporating local Japanese culture, but it is not as complex as previous Conan movies. However, the real mastermind is at the end. The movie is not bad by any means, but it is an average for the franchise quality. The 15-second PV at the end seems to be out of their comfort zone, without focusing on their big selling character for next year.

At this point one can make any story with a any bunch of characters to make a relatively successful detective conan movie. I was a little bit worried. But in total I enjoyed this movie.

Positives:

• there is a lot going on, many characters, and thqt keep you interested. I didnt experience a long scene where I felt bored
• Heiji Hatori stole the show for me with a very impressive presence. Kaito comes second. Conanfeels like a secondary character in the first half of the movie.

• When the music plays, i feel goosebumoäp. Although I wished to have a little bit more of the classical dc music.

• The story is relatively good, but not the best.

Negatives:

• I dont think that accidental audience will like this movie, you have to be a fan
• the quality of animation is a little drawback in comarison with the older movies.

• sometimes there are scenes so over the top, that they are silly.

In total a good movie, but not dc at its best. For me!

The mystery is definitely one of the better ones in recent years, layered, full of twists, and with a reveal that actually feels satisfying. Heiji Hattori steals the show this time, getting some of the best moments (seriously, give this guy more screentime). The animation is crisp, the chase scenes are intense, and the soundtrack? Absolute banger.

But it's not perfect. Some parts of the movie drag a bit, especially in the middle, and a few side characters feel underused. The villain has an interesting backstory, but their motivation could've been explored more. And as much as I love Conan's genius, sometimes it feels like he figures things out a little too easily would've been nice to see him struggle more.

Still, minor flaws aside, this is a fun, well-executed mystery that fans will love. It's not the best Conan movie ever, but it's definitely worth the watch.

(bruh, when is heiji finally gonna get a W with kazuha??)

As someone who watched like 200 episodes in the series and some of the movies, the last i remembered is only the scarlet bullet and the submarine, i feel this movie has new approach comparing to those two, in a way i appreciate that but they messed a part

For me this movie has a different approach where things really get messy in the first hour, those sword fights and stuff really make me interested in the movie but in the act 2/3 the movie feel not enjoyable, no more unknown dead, basically no more trap it's just typical bomb and the main antagonist feels not really smart for killing only one men, because he could get away with several.

Basically this movie having a really great first hour but not satisfying ending and another truth revealed which make me sure this series won't end until 2030. Well for me this is just another mid conan movie.

Detective Conan has never been known for its realism....but what the f was this. This movie is very fast paced and has a lot of important series characters in it. Conan himself is not really THE main character in this one, there is just too much going on with too many characters. It is entertaining and never boring, but sometimes it gets too much. The story puzzles are so complex and solved so rapidly, that its hard to follow, but as always they are very logical, but unrealistic. This movie was made to please the fans, its a big bang and there is something for everyone, but if you are not a fan this movie is not for you.
