Fantastic movie 10/10!!
I think you will only be able to see the true value of this movie if you have some knowledge of Sherlock holmes and game programming. I can imagine why this is boring for people who dont know anything.

The Holmes references were fun, even if they were a bit on the nose, considering the nature of Conan's name. It was also a pretty good adventure movie.
However, despite all of the holmes stuff the lack of any real mystery killed the suspense for me. We all knew who the killer was right from the beginning of the film, so it was really more about the adventure inside the game than anything else. Also, the suspense of "will they make it out alive?" doesn't really work, since Ran and Conan, and a bunch of the rest of the main cast is in there. So, there wasn't any suspense there, either.

On top of all that, it bothered me when everybody started getting upset when people died in the game. I mean, didn't they hear the rules? It's either everybody survives or nobody at all... all or nothing. One kid getting a game over in the beginning wouldn't mean much. It would only really matter when there aren't that many players left.

Still, it was a decent enough film, even if it was divorced from the mystery and suspense elements that make Detective Conan so special.
Blah, I'm going on for too long now... I think I'll write a full review.

I thought it was mediocre at best--the immense potential of the main plot was all but mostly forsaken when the guy was shown committing the murder (I suppose the director wanted to try something different for a change) and when the audience already knows who the culprit is before the MC(s) do that usually does not bode well--the sub-mysteries seldom possess, let's say, the same captivating authority which can keep the viewers at the edge of their seats. There was also not that much action all around compared to the sheer explosiveness (pun was intended) of the previous film which would have perhaps aided in offsetting the shortcoming of the plot. The movie, therefore, probably do not merit such high ratings. The only ones who are likely to give it high praise are probably comprised largely of Holmes fans or those who are into science fiction.
But kudos to the director for aggressively mashing together two vastly different genres with the goal of realising a sequel that cater to both fan bases. 🈯 🈳 🈵 🈴 🈲 🉐 🈹 🈺 🈶 🈚

Well they found a way to have Conan and Sherlock Holmes side by side, however I would have liked them to have been together more than those 30 seconds.

I gave it a 6/10. It was fine but not my favorite movie.

I'm just biased because it included jack the ripper and sherlock holmes references but I liked it.

It's a matter of perception whether you'll like something or not. Just saying

anyway, I like this movie, but there are lame parts. Overall, I enjoyed it.

I thought it was an entertaining movie, but it got more ridiculous the more time passed. There wasn't even a point to entering the game because Conan's dad solved the case (honestly they didn't even need a detective. It was just checking video tapes and physical evidence within the building).

Was amazing to have Conan in the streets of London, though I'd wish SH would be side by side with Conan for more than a short time.

One of my favorite Conan movies so far, especially liked the setting.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I really liked it. Jack the Ripper in it was just awsome since I really like the Story behind it and watched a lot of stuff about it.
I even liked the setting when they said if u wont win u die it somewhat reminded me of SAO xD
That they showed the murderer at the beginning was ok aswell imo.

Wow.. pretty surprised by everybody thoughts on this movie.

Looks like it suffered from "this is the best film of the series" syndrome so people's expectations were very high.. and when I say this, I'm not knocking anybody. When people put anything on a pedestal, we're more susceptible to focus on what we're watching even more and pay attention to everything. I really enjoyed reading everybody's post because a lot of the critiques make person sense.

I loved this film! Perfect pacing, and I was completely engaged the entire time. Favorite of the Conan films so far.

The interesting thing is, if it weren’t for the programer getting killed in the beginning, 50 people would have died since Conan wouldn’t have participated. He wouldn’t have seen the dying message JTR. Anyway, I love this movie so much. Amazing game plot. Also, I really liked the progression of relationships between characters.

i have read every SH book, and for the game programming, there is practically nothing on it, you are making it sound like we are in a ghost in the shell thread or something haha

Oh no this reminded me again. It must be said.
Why is Ran still around when Haibara is literally the Irene to Shinichi/Conan's Sherlock, SIGH

Probably my favorite of the films so far for the emotion and pacing.

I've fallen asleep once in the middle of it and I had to rewatch everything again. And after the full experience of watching it, it's not so bad but this type of fantasy setting in Conan ain't just entertaining for me.

And I do have some knowledge of Sherlock novels and programming but not game's coding but nah, that's still beside the point for any movies like how I can't appreciate the anime Hakuouki even though I'm a fan of Shinsengumi references.

Because Conan doesn't love her nor is he Holmes.

If you guys rated this less than 5/10 then you’re wack in the head. You’re telling me this wasn’t better as the same boring 3 possible suspect bs? I was engaged every moment of the movie. Yes I too was disappointed that there was less Sherlock interaction as I had hoped, and even wanted to see lestrade, but I still enjoyed it and the pacing was great. 8.5/10

“Goodbye, Kudou Shinichi” ~ Hiroki. Holy smokes, what a ride. Hiroki drawing the… non-parallels between his and Conan’s father-son relationship was something else. I love Yusaku’s involvement we’re seriously starved of it omg.
This whole movie idea was insanely unique. What a brilliant, genius idea. We shall cherish it forever <333
