The Official Detective Conan Movie 15: Quarter of Silence Di

[KainTheVampire]

Forget the DB's heads, how about Touma's eyes? They take up half his face.

Now that was terrifying
Every time I saw him I looked like this: o.O" D:
It was scary

The movie is pretty awesome!! There are a few hitches (already mentioned in the previous pages/posts, I believe), although I already expected these. The action at the last part was actually a nice change for me: for once, it doesn't involve a psycho chasing them! Yay! Could've been better, though, since I thought that the first scene with the train was much more exciting than that last part.

The mystery wasn't anything special, though. I thought they were gonna do something special to the murder, but my hopes were dashed. It was pretty exciting, but not to the point that it would raise your adrenaline levels, which was the level I was hoping for. But it's definitely going to be on my rewatch list! ^^

The best part was the graphics!!! It would've been so awesome to see that on the big screen!! I kept staring and staring and staring and staring.....XXXDDDDDD

The Kogoro x Monkey moment actually made me laugh, and I admit I haven't laughed that hard ever since the exams came in. ^^ But the funniest part was when they mentioned Yaoi city. I had to take a screenshot of that one. XXXDDD

Yeah. I didn't notice it at first, but later in the movie I think his eyes just got bigger and bigger and bigger...

Just what I noticed as well

Ok, ok, here we go. First of all, I had already watched this movie about a week ago when it came out raw, and I have to say I thought it was more enjoyable the second time around (the english subs probably helped).

Anyway, let's start with the negative aspects :
-A certain repetitiveness in the use of the music at some points, mostly during the first half in fact.
-After being right into the action at the beginning, the story slows down a bit too much. I don't mind that when it's for the investigation, but in this case it was mostly used for a bunch of annoying scenes with the Detective Boys (eating, buying souvenirs, getting lost : boy was that scene with the 'words are swords' cheesy...).
-Even if an effort was made to balance action and mystery, some progress still needs to be made, mostly by taking out some of the aforementioned scene and having the case occupy the screne a bit more.
-Some loose ends left after the case is solved.
-The secondary characters felt a bit flat. Not one of them stood out like Reiko in movie 12 or Irish in movie 13 (even if I don't like that movie).

For the postive now :

-The use of music during the action scenes and while Conan  was being rescued was perfect. Some other tracks where quite nice too (when we see the DB slaying).
-Not too many action scenes. Furthermore they were well balanced.
-Absolutely beautiful animation for the landscapes. This made some scenes like the one with the diamond dust or the one with Conan, Ran and the trees with lights even more enjoyable.
-Except for those 20-25 minutes where the movie does get a bit tiresome, the pacing is great and well handled for a 109 minute movie.
-The humour is classic : Kogoro and women, Haibara and Agasa, Conan's inner comments...but it works and that's all I'm asking for.
-There is some fanservice, but it's reasonable and isn't shoved down our throats.
-The ending was very emotional. The music helped a lot. In fact the whole drama worked pretty well.
-There was an effort made to have an actual case, and despite its weaknesses, it wasn't as bad or insignificant as I thought it was when I watched the RAW. Furthermore, at the end, apart from those little loose ends, almost everything was correctly tied together.

After having watched it once, I ranked it under movie 12. Now, I would rank it along movie 12 or maybe even movie 1. Overall, we have an enjoyable story with decent pacing, nice humour, some emotion and a decent case (despite there being room for improvement). Considering the director is new, I say he's done a pretty good job. This movie gets a 7/10 from me. (P.S : Movie 14 would get a 2.5 and Movie 13 a 5).

Awesome Movie! Definitely better than movie 14! Too bad Conan doesn't get any credit for saving the villagers and the village it self =(

I know they recently give more importance to big hollywood scenes with a lot of actions than to the case itself and the investigation but the culprit was too obvious this time. It was just "no, tell me it can't be, tell me it's all a trap and the culprit is actually someone else!". But,

Spoiler:

no, it wasn't.

Agasa's quiz foreshadowed the movie itself, not everything needs a twist

also, as he was brought up earlier, I really liked the slow-talkin detective as well. He just had such a unique voice compared to everyone else ever in the series.

[Katty008]

When I first heard the slow-talking guy, I thought, "Is he for real?" Crazy that he is.

[Assassin]

Thanks for the release!! 

[Shinjitsu]

Thanks guys. Hope this one turns out good.

Yeah, the slow-talking detective was the best part of the movie. I don't know if it had been said earlier but this slow-detective guy is actually a cameraman doing a lot of talk-shows in Japan. He's very famous for his voice and his real appearance is very close to how he was drawn in the movie (if I recall the name is also the same). Maybe you can find out his interview with Avril Lavigne somewhere on the net (quite funny)...

A... Avril.... L... Lavinge? *Freaks out fangasming*

AVRIL! OMG! AVRIL! x3 I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!

*Goes to look it up*

[Shinjitsu]

Eh, I didn't really like this one. I think I'm use to more action based movies. This movie was a bit too peaceful to me compared to the other ones. However, as someone mentioned, the landscape and scenery was amazing. This movie definitely deserves and A for animation.

Also, did anyone notice that alme joke Haibara made about Professor Agasa near the beginning of the movie?

[kholoudsafir]

I hate to be the negative one, but I feel this is my first time where I disagree with the majority here so far 

Well, since I am not a big fan of the DBs , so I did not like it. I have only enjoyed the last 20 minutes; otherwise, I was yawning every 5-10 minutes. I am happy that I was not excited as the past two years. 

I guess I'm the only one to prefer movie 14 to this one? o_O;

No, at least I enjoyed movie 14, it made me laugh a lot, it was plain entertainment for me.

Still better than 11, 12 and 13 in my scale.

[KawanoMino]

In my opinion, the criminal was too obvious. But the action was quite amazing.

...But the DB getting lost really had no point.
