Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film is dedicated to Monkey Punch, the creator of Lupin III, who died in April 2019, six months before the film released.
- GoofsDuring the highway escape, the police cars escorting the Citroen HY police vehicle are clearly Datsun Bluebirds (Police vehicles not operated by the French police) marked as belonging to the 'Saitama Prefectural Police' from Japan, complete with Japanese livery and writing and driven by officers that are based of Japanese police officers. This is a geographical error, as these vehicles would not be operating in France, where this scene takes place.". You could say its because that is not the Japanese police, but Interpol, however you would still be wrong as that is not how Interpol works.

Featured review
Lupin the third gets the 3-D treatment with Lupin III: the first as we follow Lupin and the gang set out to uncover the secret behind a diary left behind by former archaeologist professor Bresson. Who was killed by the Nazis during World War II. Along the way lupin meets a woman named Luticia who agrees to help lupin in their average define what a diary truly leads to. The film itself takes inspiration from the Indiana Jones movies, it's a quest that leads to a bigger treasure know as the eclipse. The gang has to solve riddles, decipher ancient languages and there's even a part where they do three trials. I won't say that it's ripping it off but more of following a similar formula still unique enough with the characters that it feels like it's own thing. The film also try's to dive more into making the quest more personal to lupin, However it does fall flat a bit there. The villains rather one dimensional their just Nazis looking to revive the third Reich.everything else has the same core of the franchise. The animation has the over the top style chase scenes and action scenes the franchise is know for, Everybody moves so animated their all over the place. All the characters have their quirky personalities from Lupi to Fujiko and Zanigata. The 3-D models look great. While not as photorealistic as the adventures of Tintin it still captures the anime style and the original design of these characters. The environments they look good too except for one scene in the desert we're just feels like it wasn't much effort put into it because it's glossed over pretty quickly. And there's one twist in this movie that you can see a mile away.in short Overall it's a good movie if you're a fan of the franchise it's a recommendation that you check it out for the first debut into 3-D this is still a fun movie.
