Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine (2023) User Reviews

Amazing movie but one thing

[abdelrhman-51617 · 8/10 · 30 December 2023]

I really love to watch detective Conan movies and wait for it from year to year ,The movie is amazing but the last scene when Haibara kissed Ran i really amazed that they ended the movie with scene like that ,I am really worry that Conan movies goes to the rainbow slope with this scenes !

I think They will start to put this scenes as a funny Scenes, Like that Ran amazed with Haibara act !!?

And this is a funny scene but its not i didn't take it as a funny act ever , I guess the next movies will put scenes like that and conan movies would be abnormal movies, Its so sad to see that your best childhood tv show has ended with this way and no one would love to see that.

Traditional Conan, but with tiny improvements?

This movie was actually quite alright.

Some of the recent DC films/episodes haven't really managed to awake the suspense/intrigument feeling in me, but this one did an alright job with that.

The mystery itself was a bit meek though and I found that solving it thanks to the clues presented was a bit difficult because it was a bit weakly served which gave room for plot holes.

Of course, you have some of the usual elements you see in the DC films (Agasa's riddles, Ran's karate moments, and of course IKEEEE) but this film itself managed to work as a film good enough despite being so long without digressing from its main topic too much in my opinion.

We do not really get to explore much of the BO arc, but a few new details albeit a bit seemingly useless ones are given so that's at least something..

What I really liked however was that Conan was able to lean on his allies more in this movie. It was heartwarming to see and made him seem a bit more "realistic" :)

Predictable & Mediocre

The black organization is at it again. Now with a sub... well, kindda.

It's funny, the sub is literally there just because it's in the title. Might as well be some random cruise boat they rented out for the role it played.

The movie centers around a new facial recognition software that can find a person regardless of age or how much time has passed from the on-record photos. Who in this movie is aged down I wonder, hmmmmm.

Plot wise it's fine, the murder mystery was barely an after thought and rather weak, characters were practically omnipotent, animation was ok but scenes tended to have a slideshow quality to them transition wise. CGI... not too bad but noticeable in a few scenes.

As a whole this one is very middle of the road and paint by numbers.

It's an ok movie as always

I actually excited when they announce the 2023 movie will be about Ai with black organization but after watched it i do like it and don't like it.

I am not actually conan maniac i just watch the movie from 2021 and approximately 200 episodes, but i will start asking how black organization recruiting they're people? I mean like at some point gin and vermouth is really brilliant while vodka is an idiot and the new one pinga just want to be better than gin.

The film build just around conan, some new characters and black organization. It's sad that they don't make the FBI have important role in the story.

I also like to complaint about how this movie isn't really having detective part, this film more like an action movie with conan's universe.

However i do like the characters outside many nonsense things, i like how they make Ran and conan really desperate after losing Ai. I like they're idea of the intellegent system and submarine.

So for me this movie is a bit different from other conan movies but with the nonsense story making it kinda weird, and overall it's more than watchable.

The best Conan movie among this 10 years!

Title: Unveiling Unexpected Relationships - A Review of the Latest Detective Conan Movie

Crafting a compelling storyline that unfolds within a two-hour time frame is a challenging task in the world of cinema. However, the latest Detective Conan movie skillfully rises to this challenge.

1. The first notable aspect is the tightly woven plot, ensuring that the audience remains engaged from start to finish without experiencing fatigue or disinterest.

2. Moving on to the second point, the characters in this cinematic adaptation are vividly brought to life. The majority of the characters shine brightly on the big screen, with each one given their moment in the spotlight. From the charismatic leads to the supporting cast, the movie pays homage to the diverse personalities that make the Detective Conan universe so captivating.

3. The third and, perhaps, most surprising element of the movie is the unexpected twist in the romantic subplot. Long-time fans of the series are well aware of Haibara Ai's affection for Conan, although her feelings have remained subtly veiled throughout the manga. The relationship between Shinichi and Ran becoming a couple led many to believe that the creators were intentionally avoiding exploring Conan and Ai's romantic storyline. However, the movie takes a bold step by explicitly acknowledging Ai's feelings for Conan, dispelling the ambiguity that once surrounded their connection. Additionally, the movie offers glimpses of Conan's heightened concern for Haibara, suggesting an emotional depth beyond ordinary friendship.

Unfortunately, due to restrictions in my country, I'm unable to witness the climactic final kiss scene. Nonetheless, the fact that the movie adeptly ventures into the realm of romantic comedy is a testament to the creator's skill. The unexpected revelation of emotions, the exploration of intricate character dynamics, and the seamless storytelling make this latest Detective Conan movie a must-watch for fans and newcomers alike.

A Profound Mysterious Journey Delving Into the Heart of Mysteries

[Mysterygeneration · 7/10 · 8 January 2024]

Yasuichiro Yamamoto's suspenseful mystery "Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine" centers on an unexplained death aboard a black iron submarine. The movie delivers the ideal balance of humor, tension, and deft detective work by fusing the excitement of a submarine setting with the defining characteristics of the adored anime series. The audience is kept on the edge of their seats by the underwater environment, which adds a distinct dimension of tension and claustrophobia. The excellent animation demonstrates the Detective Conan team's mastery of imaginative narrative. "Black Iron Submarine" delivers an engrossing mystery that will satisfy both old fans and newbies to the world of Detective Fiction, paying honor to the series' past and serving as a monument to the lasting popularity of Conan's deductive adventures.

A suspenseful sense of reality

[ohikertm · 10/10 · 2 December 2023]

From the beginning, the sense of unease and tension makes you sweat. There were fewer action scenes than usual, but the character development and story development were all excellent. You'll want to watch it over and over again.

It was one of the most entertaining of the Conan movie series. It is a roller coaster of thrills and excitement, with a well-balanced mix of action and drama, making it a perfect piece of entertainment. I feel like the plot structure is getting better every year. Continuity is a strength, and the know-how of action drama production that has been accumulated over the years is put to good use.

The main characters, both enemies and allies, make most of their appearances, while also fulfilling their promises, and a full-scale confrontation with the Black Organization takes place in a limited space floating on the sea. It's like a 90's Die Hard action movie and it's really good. This time, all the main members of the organization appeared, and the interpersonal relationships that arise from their slightly different positions gave the work a sense of tension. Action dramas like this are not interesting unless the villain side shines, but this time it was perfect.

It entertained me even though it included contemporary topics such as deepfakes and a surveillance society. His style was reminiscent of a king.

Conan goes political (and dark)

[Radu_A · 8/10 · 17 December 2023]

I don't understand the lackluster reviews, this is the edgiest Conan movie in about 20 years and not safe for kids. I'm writing this review mainly to warn parents that this film is too dark for kids under the age of 12, but that doesn't mean it's bad, on the contrary.

The TV show switches between harmless kids entertainment and the occasional intriguing mystery, the films usually cater to a high school audience - like Kudô Shin'ichi's real teenager identity. In recent years, they've added more action and violence, probably to keep first generation fans interested (who are around 40 now). But this time, there's a new political dimension paying tribute to the popularity of darker themes in mainstream anime. The abduction by submarine places the Black Organization in the orbit of North Korea, which indeed captured a number of Japanese citizens. The topic of face recognition AI being hijacked by terrorists is quite scary and difficult to explain to little kids without freaking them out. There is an assassination scene which is definitely too much for small children (but very well done with a lot of suspense).

"The Phantom of Baker Street" (2002), arguably the best Conan film, took a similarly sinister approach but was the exception from the rule. I for one am grateful that the franchise is trying to take a more mature direction, but if you want your kids to have a harmless good time, watch the latest "Doraemon" with them.

It's not really good

[xlsldhhhnguyenthihonghan · 4/10 · 23 July 2023]

The identity recognition system was mentioned in a grand manner, the truth was not as expected. FBI, CIA, police are all not promoting their capacity, the confrontation with BO is nothing new. Vodka and Pinga are still stupid as other MVs. The most impressive movie is the extremely cool martial arts scene of Ran Mori and Pinga, Kir's intelligence has saved Haibara Ai and Naomi several times, Vermuoth is the most impressive role. She is almost the bright spot in the MV. The role of Haibra Ai is the biggest conflict, the part where she and Naomi talk Ai advised Naomi to be strong to find a way out of the submarine, but at the end of the movie when she and the male lead came ashore, she had the intention to die. Not to mention the internal monologues that don't fit the average person's thinking about CPR saving lives. In the end, the kiss of the 18-year-old girl in the form of a 7-year-old child with her older sister accompanied by her impure thoughts was not suitable for a children's cartoon.
