A busy, ridiculous adventure best not taken too seriously

There's a lot going on here, a bit too much. This one movie contains a hidden diamond, a grand heist, a mysterious woman, some kind of satanic organisation, a dangerous computer virus, and there's a smart kid in the middle of it too. It all ties together in the end...more or less (I was confused to be honest).Let's be real: there are better Lupin movies. This one is fine; it's entertaining and the animation is great but personally I don't find it memorable at all. It's a movie I'd recommend for Lupin fans to watch once so they can say they've seen it but it's not a movie I'd rewatch myself personally.

Nonsense Lupin

Lupin iii film 23The predominant themes in this movie are action, gadgets and nonsense, like stealing the Statue of Liberty, that's crazy even for Lupin. Honestly the story is forgettable, it's just all over the place. There's just too much, the diamond, the virus, the woman, the Organization. And the evil guy just gets defeated by a shot, a mystic figure with powers cmon. I recommend it only to hard fans of Lupin.

Bring that Statue Back, You Bloated Beanbag

It is clear when watching this film that this was not made for the theatres. This is a made for TV animated Lupin adventure, and the quality of the animation, music and voice acting reflect the reduced budget. Perhaps I mis-spoke, this isn't "Lupin" this is "Wolf" not to be confused. I do know that Lupin is Latin for Wolf, but it is still odd to hear characters refer to the famous thief by this name.One more issue, this movie decides to add a little kid to the formula. He's not detective Conan, but he is likewise unreasonably smart for a child.Despite all of those facts working against it, the charm of the characters still shines through. Lupin still manages to be his usual charming thief self, and the usual crew all get some time to shine.Lupin also joins the elusive group along with Shredder and Egon as people who have successfully stolen the Statue of Liberty. I like how this is just a little side quest for Lupin, it isn't all that difficult for him.If you are a Lupin fan and are forgiving on some lesser story and animation beats, this film should get you by.
