Lupin the 3rd: Princess of the Breeze Review

So from one Lupin film to another, this is Pricess of the Breeze.

Another day at the office for Lupin as this time he targets an airship belonging to the small nation of Shahalta but ends up going after the same things as a band of Sky Pirates.
Knowing that there must be more to this than meets the eye, Lupin uses what he captured, a baby, to try and draw out the pirates. Soon enough he meets Yutika, a young Sky Pirate with a family of ex royal guards holding onto gems that would reveal a massive treasure but the royal family themselves manipulated by a corrupt business man and some dangerous mercenaries seek the same treasure.
I'm going to be honest after seeing four films from this long franchise, it's showing itself to be formulaic, which works for Lupin in a way.
Lupin and Jigen are on a heist but end up losing out due to something bigger landing on their lap.
Fujiko is already in deep with the mystery.
Zenigata is usually hired by the villain but ends up unintentionally helping Lupin.
And Goemon just shows up.
It's an effective formula but it needs to surround a big storyline.
This film was on the right track but it's need to repeat the formula caused numerous plot holes with the biggest one being the baby's parents. It also paces itself a bit schizophrenic like a gamer reacting too early to a time limit despite having more than enough to finish it properly.
The other characters are okay but having to work off some big characters is tough to nail and this film is far too generic to be really good.
I didn't watch the dub but based on the last film's voice acting it shouldn't be an issue.
Final Verdict: It's fine but if you've come into this film having seen one of the better ones you'll feel disappointed.
