The Official Detective Conan Movie 15: Quarter of Silence Di

Yeah, that's what I thought first, that he used the technical corridors and such. But the bombs are really in the middle of nowhere and I don't see the culprit getting out of one corridor then climbing the concrete with his bare hands to put his bombs in plain sight. That's why I came to the very simple (and probably correct) conclusion that the anime team didn't give a damn about how the bombs were set. The bombs were there, that's all .

Just finished watching the movie. The movie was..hmm..pretty much enjoyable. The last 15 minutes of the movie summed it up for me. I really enjoyed that part.
Also, I enjoyed the scene where haibara mocked professor with her so called 'quiz'. That part was pretty hilarious.

True ^^ I guess they probably just called it "plausible reasoning" and left it at that. After all, given everything else that happens in the movie... unrealistic/impossible placement of bombs is nothing compared to that, really. Actually, it was never stated how the bombs got onto the ceiling of the tunnel at the start of the movie either - admittedly less impossible than planting them at the dam, but still...  *imagines the culprit bringing a ladder and setting it up in the tunnel to place the bombs after putting up a roadblock sign saying "WARNING: Bombing in progress. Beware of ladder."  *

And I must add one more thing that makes this movie very remarkable for me: it's the first (and the last?) movie that actually made me like Ran. Ditto that for Sonoko. (I don't have anything against these two - it's just that I normally can't identify with their thoughts/feelings at all, unlike most of the cast. So the fact that the movie actually managed to change that, however slightly, is a remarkable thing in itself... o.O)

as some who goes skiing quite a bit, i felt like the outfits were not very accurate. people were for the most part dressed too lightly (you had the classmate girl outside in a skirt (!) at one point).

She's a fifteen year old, and those have been known to make stupid choices for the sake of fashion. I'll have to respectfully disagree otherwise as well. I've found myself shedding my coat and sledding in just a sweater. And it depends vastly on the coat as well; I was wearing my mom's old coat for a long time and went skiing in two sweaters to boot. Then I got a new coat, and now ski in no sweaters.

a few things:

given that they weren't actually skiing, you are probably right about how much they were wearing (you can take layers off as you get closer to the bottom, especially if the skiing has been tiring, but they still wouldn't have been wearing enough)

what inspired to make the point, though, wasn't the clothes or the skirt (which i thought of later), but the goggles! the DB don't have goggles as far as i can tell, which seems like an oversight. goggles are really useful- they protect your eyes from glare, they keep snow out of your eyes when you fall, and they give you at least some visibility when it is snowy and windy (they even keep your hat on when it is windy, which is quite useful). they aren't an absolute must by any means, but someone conscientious like agasa (or haibara if he forgot) would surely see to it that the DB had goggles.

the skirt, well, it still seems quite unrealistic to me.

Real life example.  When at Mt. Zao in Yamagata, I saw skiers (sp?) and not all of them wore goggles.  Even high up in the mountain...so yeah.  I saw snowboarders too. I wasn't there for those things, but I was riding up tot he top of the mountain, and it was way too cold for me. It was so cold at that altitude, that my boots weren't even warm enough.

As for the clothes, I've seen Japanese girls wear short skirts in snow-like weather and I don't see how they do it.  Being in Yamagata where it is cold during the winter and snows, it was weird seeing some girls (like maybe on Friday nights) walking around with shorts and boots just to be fashionable, but they were wearing tights and stuff.

Some girls seem to have no feeling in their legs. Last winter, during the ridiculously heavy snowfall, I still saw girls going around in shorts and miniskirts. Sometimes with tights, sometimes not.

About the bombs, I always figured that he must have rappelled down and set them. It seemed the only plausible explanation.

Like most people here I was really looking forward to this movie, but imo it was a huge disappointment. Not outright bad compared to other anime, but definitely one of the weakest Conan movies.
Everey plot twist could be seen from miles away - I wonder how many TV-Tropes entries this movie will get under "Chekov's Gun".
Also, I think not even Kogoro would have failed to check whether the bad guy managed to push the detonator's trigger. He can be a suprisingly practical thinker sometimes. Epic Fail for Conan.
And checking your watch constantly while looking for someone buried beneath an avalanche, saying stuff like "We only have 90 seconds to find him or he'll be dead." is simply ludicrous.
I'm not even deducting points for stuff like outrunning a flood while snowboarding through a wood, because then, I'd also have to complain about the finale of movie 5 (and some others) and that was truly awesome ;-)
Frankly, the best thing about this movie was the prologue.

Edit:
Oh, almost forgot: It maybe that the culprit doesn't care at all for the lives of other people, but it still would have been way less complicated and less risky for him if - instead of bombing a train and the dam - he had simply bought scuba equipment and dived into the lake at night.

I just finished watching this, and I have to say that for me, it was a 'meh-minus'.  I just found the pacing slow, the mystery shoddy, and the whole thing just stretched my disbelief a little too far.

Exactly!  Sure, there have been psychotic bombers in DC movies in the past, but they had their reasons.  Your common jewel thief?  The explosives, set-up costs and then search and escape plan probably cost more than the jewels are worth anyway.

Speaking of orientation during such an event, just imagine if Conan had been facing the opposite way when he used the soccer ball.

Sure.  Conan would have gone shooting up into the air, and everyone would have gone running over to where he came from.  Ran would go digging in the snow and, finding the soccer ball, take it in a teary embrace, glad that her beloved ball was okay.

I noticed this brought back the tradition from movies 1 and 2 of "the title of the movie doesn't apply until the final 20 minutes."

But still, I liked this movie, found it better than 14.

I did find Conan's over-the-top speech about friendship a bit insolent. 

[icebaby012]

I do have the same question in mind, so let me just quote song712's post:

"Why did Conan pick the owl as a gift? And when he was on the phone with Ran he wrote down the list of gifts in the snow and said "what the hell?". What did he realize?"

Also, I find it weird that the culprit didn't bother to take the time threatening Touma since he might remember that he's the reason he fell to the brook/cliff, and he might remember earlier than expected the diamond and jewelries he found in his car. I don't know, did I miss something??

not just movies 1 and 2. 5 basically ends with the title and several of the others are similar.
