Lupin The Third - Der Meisterdieb

It was a delight to see lots of familiar faces from Asia (even the Joseph guy made me outrageously happy, not to mention the two on the plane). Lots of individuality is perfect. But then again, there are the opposite little things that leave a bad taste on the tongue – for example, right at the opening, when Kuroki Meisa jumps off the roof, it's so obvious that she's safe that it hurt, and I thought: "Well, Ziza, welcome to a B-movie." In the end, it wasn't terrible, but I can't say I was thrilled after watching it either. Basically, other than the aforementioned, there's not much to have reservations about here. It's just that it was so bland; they failed to convey any proper emotions to the audience, be it tension, regret, or playful hilarity. They may have felt it, but it didn't reach the viewer. And because the film was this tone-deaf, I can't go any higher with my rating. For fans of the prequel – there is some similarity, but the story is somewhere else. Oh, and I don't understand how I could forget it, I saw the version with Japanese dubbing... sometimes it just was :´-D (09.03.2015)
