Lupin the 3rd: Green Vs. Red

Awesome movie, Lupin vs. His evil twin.

Arrived in excellent condition.

In many ways this Lupin movie is both a tribute to the four decades of Lupin shows, movies, and manga AND a contemplation of what it means to be Lupin. There is a great scene in which dozens of Lupins drop what they are doing to head to Tokyo. Lupin fans will have fun catching all the references to past movies and shows. While the "many Lupins" of the movie were a bit confusing at first, it gives the makers of this film a chance to play with the idea of the pursuit of ultimate freedom and mystique embodied by a persona that many wish to adopt. The plot involving the "ice cube" diamond does not completely come together by the end, unfortunately. And while it will never be my favorite Lupin movie, I certainly enjoyed watching it. Three and a half stars sounds about right to me, but I'll round up to four.

Make no mistake, it’s an interesting movie to watch if you’re a Lupin fan. Yet this feels like it’s part of a trilogy, like a story that’s continued in or continued from other movies. Being left to make your own conclusion can be fun in most cases, but I genuinely don’t feel like this movie offers anything satisfactory in the long run.

Opinions on this film are polarised, apparently. I'm not one of the "it's so obscure it must be great" camp. I found it pointless and boring and a waste of my anime-buying dollars.In Green vs Red (GvR) the setting has updated to the contemporary, so cellphones abound while Lupin drives a Bambina or his other classic ride. There's a retired guy who may be the real Lupin, an ageing but near-timeless Zenigata, and pointless tributes to past Lupin opponents. Nothing zips, nothing gets a laugh, and do you know why?They basically tossed all the storyboards into the air, reassembled them as they fell, and that's the film sequence. It's not clever. It's not entertaining. I fell asleep several times. There's no revelation and again, no humour.Any of the old Lupin films - and I include Mamo in this - are better than this dreck.

While thing is too damn confusing and Yasuo is hella annoying

当初タイトルから想像をかき立てられたものとは完全に異なる作品であったが、これはこれでなかなか面白かった。ここ数年、TVスペシャルを筆頭に本当に酷い駄作ルパンばかりが作られ続けていた中にあって、久々に「高いクオリティの作品」に仕上がっている。しかしながら、この作品はまた同時に極めて異色の作品でもある。ネタバレ防止の観点からあえて細かい部分には触れないが、着想から何から非常に斬新な作りになっており、世間一般のいわゆる「お茶の間のルパン」的イメージのものを想像して見るならば、その期待は完璧に裏切られるであろう。旧ルパンとも新ルパンとも違う。いやそれどころか、過去のどの「ルパン三世」とも（ある程度の関係性こそあれ）一線を画した作品といえる。プロットなど個人的には大変面白いと思うが、斬新かつ大人向けとあって大衆性は他のルパン作品より低く、小さい子供などが見てすぐ理解するのは難しいと思われる。十中八九、評価は確実に割れる。故に、万人に勧めることはできない。DVDを買うかどうかの判断は、まず先にレンタルなどで一度視聴した後にすることをお勧めする。

ルパン三世好いね
