Summary: WAY better than I thought it would be.
Comment: I wasn't going to buy this movie because it was so old I thought the animation and everything else would be outdated, but I got it anyway just to complete my Miyazaki/Ghibli DVD collection. I'm glad I did! Aside from the music, you wouldn't even know this was released in the 70's! This movie is great, and downright fun. It's also the most humorous Miyazaki film out there.

That whole animation sequence where they're swimming through the aquaducts is amazing. The camera angles were some of the best I've seen.

Summary: This Movie Makes Lupin Look Good
Comment: I've only seen snippets of the TV series and have only ever heard bad things about it, so I was hesitant when deciding to buy this movie. However, the allure of Hayao Miyazaki's name in the credits got me pulling it off the store shelf. And I was certainly not disappointed. After watching it for the first time, the first thing I wanted to do was watch it again. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen. This movie is certainly of Miyazaki quality and made it easily to the top of my A list. There's few movies I've seen that make being a career thief seem so cool.

This film is packed with twists and action, but with plenty of comedy that keeps the movie from getting dark. However, it's certainly not for those with "sensitive ears," because there is a good amount of profanity, but I didn't think it took anything away from the movie. Although there is a little death and a lot of guns and explosions, there is a minimal amount of blood and absolutely no gore.

This movie can be enjoyed by all action movie-goers, whether or not you are an anime fan

Summary: If James Bond was a kid
Comment: My grand-children (5 to 13) and I enjoyed this cartoon immensely. Sometimes we laughed out with delight. Imagine a James Bond hero with all the gadgets and "savoir-faire" of James Bond, but none of the violence, or grown up stuff. And on top of this the images are beautiful.LRG

Summary: Miyazaki's Lupin
Comment: Absolutely great! That the animation style is a bit dated is apparent from the start, but don't let that get in the way of enjoying this Miyazaki-directed film filled with non-stop action and hi-jinks. Lupin is quite a loveable character, even if some of the supporting cast are a bit stiff. This was my first Lupin film, and I intend to see rest!

Summary: get the 'Manga Video' dvd release, instead
Comment: Right from the get-go, this version irked me. The introduction plays stilled images versus the [original] beautifully animated sequence. English translating, while not bad, forcefully swears quite a bit. Manga Video's dubbing may not be entirely clean but it was hardly bothersome.

It is unfortunate that these issues ruined what is an otherwise great story.
