One of Animation King Miyazaki's First Films, 28 March 2005
7/10
Author: Hal-900 from WA, USA

This animated "James Bond" wannabe is unremarkable, but it is a fun to watch. Our hero is named Lupin III, a thief who tries to rescue a captive princess, while battling a series of nasty villains and one stubborn cop. One of director Hayao Miyazaki's earliest efforts, it does lack the panache of some of his most famous movies. The animation is at the level of a Saturday morning TV cartoon show. However, the movie is very, very entertaining. It is the kind of movie that (very) young viewers will like more than adults, but I'm sure those young at heart will enjoy the film. I did feel director Miyazaki cheated the audience too many times, putting the main character in a series of incredible situations, and then, removing the hero from those situations in a very silly manner. Good, but unmemorable piece of entertainment.
