Fun adventure

Lupin iii film 22While this Lupin film sounds like it's about Fujiko, and it should, it is about Lupin. The plot is similar to another Lupin film about science theme and that should be about it. Another girl takes Fujiko place in this adventure, but we see that Lupin only has eyes on Fujiko this time. While everyone is searching their treasure, we all know that the treasure is right in front of our protagonist eyes, Fujiko whom lost her memories.

Some Memories You Never Want to Forget

If you are a fan of Lupin III then this has everything you want to see in a classic Lupin adventure. It's got Indiana Jones style treasure hunting, Mission: Impossible style masks and superhero style of 'how does that work?' energy.All the original Lupin characters are utilized quite well in this entry. Goemon proves to be a very useful fellow. Jigen has some time to shine and some funny banter with Goemon. Inspector Zenigata continues his usual routine. But the main center piece is Fujiko and Lupin's complex relationship.The movie has 3 main problems.#1: I am sick to death of the amnesia storyline. The character will just stumble around trying to remember things and when the runtime is over they will snap back to their old self.#2 The transitions of how our heroes get out of each action scene are all hand waved away. Lupin and the gang will be stuck in a precarious situation and then out of nowhere they will just be fine in the next scene. There are so many plot conveniences that it loses any suspense of how they will get out/#3 The MacGuffin is too complicated. In this film they are after "The Columbus Egg". The egg is worth a lot of money. It can also control the weather. It can also cure all known diseases. It can also grant its wielder super strength. It can also be used as a new fuel source. How can it do this? It is full of "Fulgon Energy". Of course, that explains it.Beyond those faults, this is a fun adventure. It has diverse locations, memorable villains and charming character interactions.Lupin delivers on the gold once again, and don't you forget it.

Fujiko always hateful

So this was Lupine's last film At the end of the 90s my God how could it end this way So this time This film focuses on the character of Fujiko my life has been heard other times you know that I hate this character and I don't just think so I but the problem is thatthis Fujiko has lost her memory that she was the only one who could have known a secret and so she stays on the site she wants every way to get it So I hate This film is only because centering a film on a character that I hate very much doesn't make me really happy because Fujiko always remains detestableand it's not just me who thinks so but I would like to know one thing for me it was better that Fujiko didn't have to return with her memory when she returns her memory returns to being the usual detestable character since she slaps Lupine it's like Lupine says she's the best Fujiko the ignorant Ah that's the problemit's not just this the villain of this film was truly one of Lupine's worst villains not even perhaps one of the worst villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe The only positive thing about this film is the character of Rosaria who was truly a very good character This film is negativefor me but I know that there is another film that talks about Fujiko and I don't know if I will see it without it in the future But that film is a much more faithful version of the manga Well I'm also afraid to watch it since there he will still be in Fujiko to conclude the vote 3-
