Fourth Lupin movie post
Feb. 7th, 2011 03:14 pmIt's funny how I've got such a goldfish memory when it comes to Lupin movies specifically - it always depends on how good the last movie I saw was. If it was good I can't wait to see another, if it was bad I have to spend a lot of time convincing myself to ever watch another one.
Too bad the last one I watched this time won the dubious honour of being the worst Lupin movie I've seen yet. I'm hoping posting about it will flush it out of my system because I just know there has to be other good movies in this franchise I haven't seen yet.
Anyways this time I've mostly seen very recent Lupin movies, it's interesting to see the gang in the 21th Century, attempting to be relevant and meta. And not always succeeding. Aaand I rewatched one of the former "worst Lupin movies ever" and thus it gained a different position on the list. So yes, even I can change my opinion on things. Sometimes.
( 'I was going to call it Love and War, but I didn't want people to get the wrong idea about us.' )
I'll say this for Angel Tactics though; In a franchise that has seen its fair share of deus ex machinas and ass-pulls, it's impressive to sweep them all aside with the most ridiculous ass-pull of them all:
Why of course Jigen's got a small air conditioner strapped to his head on the off-chance that a member of a terrorist group will try to use knock-out gas on him. OBVIOUSLY.
