Ultimately, Lupin III: The First plays it safe. 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. Read full review

“The First” is a zippy 93-minute comedic adventure that embraces all the familiar building blocks of classic “Lupin III” stories: impressive car chases, impeccable disguises, impossible escapes and Lupin taking on an evil organization. Read full review

People give it a lot of crap, but I think its great. The story is fun enough for a Lupin movie, the music is amazing as always, and the CGI is actually really, really good!
