Once again, Lupin takes the stage in easily my favorite Lupin film that isn't directed by Hayao Miyazaki (The Castle of Cagliostro).

Lupin the Third: The First (yes, it is a very confusing title) is a typical Lupin movie through and through with just a single new addition, it is in CGI.

The animation itself made this movie better than most of its Lupin counterparts, but the story has a couple of extra things that made this installment stand out among its peers (besides for the CGI).

First off, the story: Classic Lupin story, ...

In short - it's an ok movie dragged down by the same story we've seen hundred times already.

Let's start with the strong points of the movie: 3D animation looks outstanding, at points you can forget you're watching an animated movie, the backgrounds, vehicles, and objects in general looks amazing, the music is great, the characters just work while feeling unique and actors behind them are selling them really, really well, the jokes are landing and the movie will get a chuckle or two out of everyone and overall when the movie is focused on these elements it's fun and it would be a great film ...
