Meitantei Conan Movie 16: 11-ninme no Striker

This Conan movie brought to you by J-League! Play Soccer kids! In this movie Mouri Kogorou murders a small child in drunken confusion. I shit you not. He stops an ambulance and that may have lead to the death of a small child. Which is kind of important to the plot, but HE certainly doesn't dwell upon it. This is also the movie where Conan messes up all over the place and gets sloppy. I don't know if they were trying to be a little more realistic, but he seems to have trouble making the jumps and perfect landings. As such the ending takes a bit moretime to end how you expect it to end... with Conan kicking a soccer ball into something to stop the timer. If you couldn't guess that's what was going to happen, you must be new here. Overall this movie is about soccer. It's officially sponsored by J-League, whose team members actually show up in the movie. The whole plot is pretty much copy pasted from the previous. We have bombs going to go off and Conan has to stop it. Only this time it's soccer themed. Really it's getting boring. I kind of remember Conan movies having a bit more mystery and intrigue. Also it seems some of the hints they give are kind fo disjointed as they don't give you the other clues and have you put them together. It's hinted the next movie has a cruise ship in it. I can only hope it hasn't been rigged up with bombs that Conan has to stop.

For a while, I've always considered this film to be extremely underrated. Despite what many fans will lead you to believe, Detective Conan: The Eleventh Striker is a solid movie with more good points than bad. In my review, I'll do my best to give my reasons for why I consider this movie to be a good movie. One of the first complaints has to do with soccer being a prominent theme, which people claim comes across as shallow pandering. While it's true that this movie does heavily feature Japanese Soccer League players, what people forget is that Conan is a big soccer fan. It'd belike bashing Phantom of Baker Street just because it panders too much to Sherlock fans. Even if the movie was J-league fan service, that doesn't change the fact that the movie still makes use of the soccer themes and characters in the main story. Another complaint has to do with how this movie copies the story of another movie in the series, specifically the Time-Bombed Skyscraper. While that movie is fun, I did think that there were some places it could improve on. For instance, the lack of mystery surrounding the main culprit. Here, they at least tried to complicate things with extra suspects and other elements to help engage the audience in figuring out whodunit. The soccer references, refined art style and epic cinematography help give it its own unique shine while polishing out the kinks in the original framework. In terms of legitimate criticism, there are some things I do consider to be slight nitpicks. While the music is serviceable, it can sometimes sound very "Rugrats-like", with the exception of the song that plays when everything explodes (that song is awesome). The resolution at the end is very cheesy, but it's still really satisfying ("the eleventh striker was you after all"). While the J-league does have a purpose in the main plot, it would've been nice to see them after the criminal was caught. Would've given them some nice closure, ya know? Overall, this movie is too good to be getting all of this undeserved flak. A good Detective Conan movie doesn't need Kaito Kid or the Black Organization to be good (that in itself is its own form of pandering). As long as the movie stays true to what Detective Conan is, it doesn't matter how much soccer fan service there is. Of all the movies that I've reviewed so far, Detective Conan: The Eleventh Striker is, indeed, faithful to what Detective Conan is.

Story, 8 : Good overall, I actually really enjoyed the soccer aspect despite not being a soccer fan or a sports fan in general, it was fun seeing Conan genuinely enjoy something and because various soccer players have showed up in the main series they didn't feel out of place, I even would've liked to see more of some of them, like Sanada after the case had been dealt with. The only real gripe I had was that the main case seemed a tad extreme for the criminal to have successfully carried out anything after the police figured out his likely targets butwhat's a Detective Conan movie without some suspension of disbelief? Art, 8 : ? I don't really know what to put for this, the art is mostly normal Conan level but the action scenes are really good in this movie. Sound, 9 : I also don't know what to put here, it's usual Conan style, I love it. Character, 7 : As some people said, it's basically just the normal main cast that shine, but personally that doesn't bother me, I guess I would've like to see more about the criminal's side of things before basically the end, but it was a pretty decent misdirect; and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the small development for Sanada. Enjoyment, 10 : The tone of the movie just worked well for me, it felt more simple because it takes place close to home instead of them going on some trip like so many other movies, but the action was cool and fun to rewatch, and I'm a sucker for Conan just going off and getting stuff done by himself without all the dramatics of everyone worrying over him and this movie had a lot of that. I actually was kind of iffy on it when I first watched it but after rewatching several times I feel like I enjoy it more each time. Overall, a really solid movie, I don't think any prior knowledge of soccer is important to enjoying or understanding this movie, though if you REALLY dislike soccer this might not be the movie for you. it doesn't really have much of the annoying "Ran crying over Shinichi/Conan" type moments (I'm not a Ran hater but that's been overused in the movies, especially considering the movies aren't canon) it does have dramatic moments but not the slow despairing kind, idk how to explain it.

WELL, this is the second Movie, i have watched on the same day as the Detective Conan Quarter of Silence. This Movie was actually different. At first, yes it had like the previous movie this Action Movie Vibe and there really was no less Action. But unlike in other films, the Action here lets the viewer to involve themselves. What i mean is the background why all of events are happening are quite touching and also forces the viewer to involve himself emotionally into the Action. As we all know the main Character Conan is a big Fan of Soccer so no surprise that inthis Movie the case resolves Football. I was really able to enjoy this movie in a different Movie, like i already mentioned... Even with all the Action happening, me as the viewer, i was able to understand more how all character feel themselves. What are their reasons for doing something and so on. The greatest thing, for me was, the soccer Match scenes, they were so lively, that it made me desire, that football matches in real life would be such and if possible, be done from the same Angle, not from Above like it is usual. And another Thing, every scene made me to watch the movie without blinking, i was so into it, wondering what is gonna happen next further most of the times i was surprised, didn't see that coming. To finish up, i really recommend every Detective Conan Fan to watch this movie, you will like it. I know, cause i do... And i am also sure i am gonna re-watch this movie a few more times in the Future.
