Detective Conan Movie 11: Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure · review
Detective Conan Movies Rewatch Before Watching Movie 26: Movie 11 This movie is often considered the worst DC movie, but I'm good with it. Some of the complaints are valid. For example, the case is more childish than the typical DC movie, as the subject itself involves treasure hunting and a lot of "touristy" code-solving. In addition, the nature of the setting (tourist destination) means this can feel more like a TV original versus a movie. However, the movie never deviates from the central plotline, and it did a good job of presenting a case in a logical, natural manner. In addition, the movie does manage to balancesome semblance of action with some of the drier parts of the movie, such as looking for the treasure. The case itself is also unique, again given the setting they are in. The cast had some meaningful interactions, particularly Conan/Haibara's partnership and Ran/Sonoko's friendship. Lastly, the music does a good job accentuating the setting and the mysteriousness of the treasure and the case (one of the BGM was used frequently in the anime post the release of the movie).
Fans of DC looking for a dark, gritty movie will be disappointed, but the movie is executed well enough to be enjoyed. 7/10
