Detective Conan: The Last Wizard of the Century (1999) User Reviews

Most Magical Detective Conan Movie made yet.

[emasterslake · 8/10 · 20 January 2008]

Kaitou Kid is back in town, and he's planning to steal a Russian prized egg that once belonged to Nicholas II. It's currently under the ownership of Sonoko Susuki's family. Kogoro Mouri and several other people are put in charge to protect the egg. But that won't stop Kaitou Kid from stealing it. Conan suspects there's more going on as it is. Soon things will seem to go from bad to worse. Once an unknown killer name Scorpion who's known for killing victims in the right eye with a gun shot. Gets involved with this scenario in stealing the egg.

This is so far the most "magical" filled Detective Conan movie made so far. The mystery about the prized egg and the connections it has with the long lost Royal Family of Nicholas II has so much mystical feel to it. It's also the first movie to have Haibara, Kaitou Kid, & Heiji Hattori in it. That and the mystery will keep to guessing all the way to the last minute of it.

It's a must see if you're a fan of the TV series.

Detective Conan at its best

[blumdeluxe · 8/10 · 22 July 2019]

"Meitanei Conan: Seiki matsu no majutsushi" tells the story of the hunt for a special treasure, revealing long kept family secrets and revealing both the good and the evil in people.

The film is pretty much how I want Detective Conan to look like. You have a mysterious and varied case, you can make own guesses and yet it involves a few well-known characters and helps to shape them. Being a fan of treasure hunts in movies in general, this one was written skilfully and makes it hard to guess the final ending. One could criticise that the movie doesn't really touch the general plot of the series all too much but neither do most episodes and in the meantime it's almost a running gag that producers seem to have no solution to bring the story forward.

All in all this was a pleasure to watch and summarizes many reasons why I like this series so much. If you're a fan of Detective Conan in general, you will most likely enjoy this additional movie feature as well.

A great conan film but not the BEST

[adeel-30222 · 7/10 · 5 March 2022]

Now most of the people consider this the best conan film till film till this film and I understand how much they love kid but this wasn't the best for me. Maybe because I am not a big detective genre fan and this has so much thinking and deducting scenes. And yes, I am not a detective genre fan but I still watch case closed because even if I'm not a detective genre fan- it entertains me and I love it despite of not being a detective fan. I do enjoy the deduction scenes but sometimes they don't entertain. Another reason I didn't found this as interesting as the previous two was because the audience is able to figure out who kid is disguised as and the reveal of who kid was actually disguised as wasn't so shocking. Sure the conan and the culprit face to face showdown at the end was great! The sudden kid's disguise as shinichi was also good and the last conersation between conan and kid was interesting but it was the end whichwas interesting as hell! We can't say that for the whole movie.

Best Movie

[jjseungirl · 10/10 · 23 December 2023]

This is still the best detective conan movie. Nothing will top the DCMK plot We need more movies like this one, we've had enough of those new characters with no depth and lack of uniqueness. The og characters and plots were so well written and intriguing and interesting I miss this peak era of Gosho Aoyama. My only hope now is to see them go back to focus more on DCMK instead of trying to shove their new useless characters down everyone's throats by force.

Last Wizard

[Mysterygeneration · 7/10 · 13 January 2024]

Last Wizard of The Century is a well-produced detective movie that features a well-crafted mystery element. The plot is decent and balances the story, with historical value and well-done plot settings. The movie is easily accessible and is a perfect example of enjoying the series without watching all Meitantei Conan episodes. Although the animation is quite old compared to our era, it is generally decent and the sound settings are also decent. The main cast, including Kaitou Kid as the omniscient and overpowered character and Conan as the analytical and smart hero, perform well in their roles. Overall, Last Wizard of The Century is recommended for fans of Meitantei Conan and those who enjoy detective and mystery settings.
