The movie is nice, though I do not think it is as imaginative as 'The castle of cagliostro', as visually beautiful as 'the secret of mamo' or as hectic as, let's say, 'farewell to nostradamus' where Lupin went from Brazil to the USA to some mysterious island (which looked a lot like the island in 'the island of assassins'), and again to Brazil and the USA.
the Fuma conspiracy is all set in Japan. It's about finding a treasure (as was 'dead or alive') as much as it is about rescuing Goemon's bride.
The characters are less convincing than usual: Goemon goes from being a confident soon-husand-to-be to being a guy who's nervous and insecure around women (as he was in castle of cagliostro). Zenigata and Jigen are a bit flat. Fujilo is neither the unreliable (yet loving) woman that can be seen in the secret of mamo nor in the nostradamus movie nor the relatively loyal member of the gang that can be seen in 'missed by a dollar'. But the major problem is with Lupin. He is not as central as he should be and was in other movies, he's not supersmart, heroic, appealing villain of most Lupin movies nor the sweeter character designed by Miyazaki in Cagliostro. He is there, but never displays his usual genius.
So while the movie is worth watching anyway, it is not as good as it could have been

My Review:
The animation in this movie is so beautiful. It is set in Japan, so there are gorgeous backdrops and cultural settings. The music is a mixture of funk and jazz, but the romantic based lyrical song featuring Goemon and Murasaki is so cute. I was propelled through this movie because Goemon is my favourite character- and while I normally find one-shot generic female characters annoying, I found Murasaki was adorable. Mostly because her personality was a great fit for his. But of course, if sweet romance was the main focus of the story, it wouldn't be Lupin III.
There's plenty of action in this animation, including one of the most hilarious and exciting car chases I've ever seen in a Lupin production so far, through a poor unsuspecting Japanese village/town. There's also a labyrinth of lethal traps leading to the treasure of Murasaki's family- and they have the deadly Fuma clan to contend with. Goemon is (as you'd expect) at odds with Lupin over his fiance's family treasure. Fujiko is just as obsessed with getting her gold- and Lupin is just as obsessed with being sneaky, suave and just overly awesome.
The villain of this movie is very sinister indeed- I won't spoil anything, but Goemon really does take a front seat in this movie. He has epic fight scenes and pawns his enemies. The ending was actually very satisfying for me. There's an inevitability of certain things, but not everything is as you'd expect. Or maybe it is- but in any case it was a beautifully detailed, wonderfully composed, exciting film that surprisingly had me saying "awww" far more than I normally do.
I personally watch Lupin III franchise in Japanese. Normally I watch anime in English where I can unless the voices are too annoying, but with Lupin III I'd encourage you to watch it in the original language, because it adds to the cultural feel of this film. I also think the recurring voice actors of the Japanese version perfectly suit the characters- adding to the humour and excitement of the series as a whole. I think any fan of animation would enjoy this, it's my favourite Lupin III movie now.
