Naruto, le film : La Légende de la pierre de Guelel

While probably the best of the three films that coincide with the original Naruto anime, "Legend of the Stone of Gelel" is still rather mediocre. I'd even say, I like "Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow" better, though a lot of that probably comes down to nostalgia and the fact it helps strengthen the feeling Sasuke had grown a real bond with Team 7 before the editorial mandates led to rather rushed rift that formed between him and his team. I won't lie, the second film has some really fun moments and cool aspects like starring Shikamaru, the design of Temujin, an antagonist who makes use of probably the most underutilized, but useful jutsus, Genjutsu and appearances from the Sand Village, Gaara and Kankuro. However, it's just not very strong with a predictable story, forgettable original characters, one moment that feels very out of left field, and I'm pretty sure it breaks the rules of Genjutsu to add false tension. It also introduces a concept that feels too important to be as throwaway as it ultimately ends up being, the movie being non-cannon and all. Oh, they also left out Temari which is an actual crime against humanity when the Sand Village is a part of the story.
