As much as the film feels like a loving tribute to the esteemed director, it doesn't exist in Cagliostro's shadow; rather, it makes for a great companion piece.

Unspooling like a mashing of James Bond and Indiana Jones comes the high-spirited, high-flying hijinks of Lupin III, the animated star of a long-standing Japanese cartoon franchise...the story moves at a great clip and the digital animation is superb.

Elements of Madness
Though Monkey Punch passed away in 2019, unable to see the final version of Lupin III: The First, he'd no doubt be proud of the finished product as it hits all the hallmarks of a Lupin III escapade while being accessible for an entirely new audience.

It is shockingly hard to find a new movie that's interested in an old-fashioned adventure... Thankfully, Lupin III: The First is exactly that.

You don't need to know anything about the long history of the character and his rogues to enjoy; it's just a fun, fast, Nazi-punching caper to save the world.

Its two problems are that it is very talky and it gets out of control in some ways because the special effects are too easy.

The story is straightforward, as can be expected from a family-friendly caper, and most of the turns are predictable, but it doesn't make the movie any less fun.

If I was initially worried about how well Lupin III would translate to 3DCG, these (probably underpaid) animators blew my mind and put my fears to rest. All the character designs, backgrounds, and action moved as smooth as silk.

While the film adds a new visual kick, there's not a whole lot in the way of storytelling innovation. But maybe we don't need it.

A scene of Lupin and Laetitia sparring on a Parisian rooftop is so delightful, I wish it had gone on for longer; ditto a skydiving sequence that suggests the director has been cribbing from Kathryn Bigelow's '90s surfer caper, Point Break.
