As any well informed Lupin III fan will tell you, The new Arsene Lupin movie hit freanch theaters some time ago. I saw the trailer, some cool stuff there. But today I triped upon the movie poster, I've got to say, some radical stuff.  This movie looks nice , and I cant wait to snag myself a copy, sure I'll have to mod my DVD player, or buy a bootleg, but thats okay. |

It was in France. I doubt that it will even get out on video in narrow-minded cultural wasteland of America.

well even if america was in the habit of putting out french movies, they usually don't go for the ones that got a 4.5
out of 10. not out of 5

Looks like someone has done their homework. Yes, I’m afraid the critics did not like this one. But I believe most critics said SW eps 4 sucked. Then said eps1 rocked. But the real reason critics suck is when they said the Harry potter movie was worth watching.
I'll just have to watch this on for myself to decide.

actually the critics hated ep1, and I believed they all loved ep4, but then again I wasn't born yet. I read some user reviews and they go like this:
artsy as hell, good sets, mediocre acting, plot however is all over the place. trys to do too much too fast, so good guys become bad guys spontaneously and stuff like that. remember the haunting? yeeeah...

Ah yes, but this is Arsene Lupin. A little history lesson. The comic, Lupin the third was based off the the French book series, Arsene Lupin, by Marus Leblank. Also, the character, Zenigata was based off Officer Zenigata, a non-fictional cop from ancent Japan. ALSO, Goemon Ishikawa is support to be the thirteenth descendent from the samurai thief, Ishikawa. So really, Fujico and Jegin are the only original characters.  Juts thought you'd like to know. |

Ok as a French I didn't have the time to go there, because of all the homwork given.
There were a standard advertisement, not that much, but enough I'd rather say.
On the poster is written "Discover how everything began".
The DVDs were released in France two months ago I think and if I could, I'd translate int in English for you with subtitles if I could.
The critics considered the movie badly because it didn't really follow the way Maurice Leblanc (not Marus Leblank ^_^) thought of the character, except the gentleman way.
The regarded audience was just wider than waht would have been required. If you want, it's a kind of missed James Bond as I understood. They tried to make a compromise between both of those things, that missed.
By the way, the James Bond girl is a british woman that played a French woman role and Romain Duris (Arsène Lupin) is a beginning actor.
That's everything I have to say. ^_^
