Summary:
While sorting mail at Dr. Agasa's house, Conan finds an invitation addressed to Shinichi from Leo Joel, a famous architect. Shinichi calls Ran using his voice-changing bow tie and asks her to go in his place. Ran agrees, on the condition that Shinichi goes to a movie with her on Saturday. 
On Saturday morning, Conan receives a call from a strange man, who challenges Shinichi to a game. Conan accepts the challenge, and the mystery caller gives him clues leading to bombs hidden all over Tokyo. Conan finds and destroys every one. Because the bombs were located near structures Joel designed, Conan deduces that the bomber is Joel, who planned to destroy his 'inferior' works and create a perfect new building. Upon his arrest, Joel reveals the location for his final bomb: Beika City Building, the location of Shinichi and Ran's date.
The bombs explode and seal the entrances and exits, trapping Ran and others inside. Conan makes his way through the collapsing building, but is blocked from Ran by a warped door. Using his tie and cell phone, he calls Ran and asks her to look for the bomb. Ran finds it in a large shopping bag. To disarm the bomb, Shinichi tells Ran which wires to cut. However, Joel made two extra wires, one red, one blue. One of them is booby-trapped, but Shinichi has no idea which one it is. Shinichi tells Ran to cut either one. As the rescue team arrives and carries him away, Shinichi realizes that Joel knew that Rachel's favorite color was red and booby-trapped the red one. In the last few minutes, Ran makes a desperate decision and cuts the blue wire because the red wire represents the red string of fate between Shinichi and her.

Personal ratings: 4

Totally fell in love with this movie. Really very nice. It consist of both humor and action, at the right parts. 

I think that this movie really portray's each character's feelings.  I really like how an event in the front actually has a connection to the event at the back. Really love the connection about the color red. No words can really express how awesome this movie is.
I also liked how they added a little classical feel to it, by making use of paintings.
