Featured reviews
There's nothing particularly remarkable in this context, except for a significant amount of money invested in numerous lackluster five-minute fights featuring poor choreography. Despite this, the overall standard was quite good; however, I had reservations about the art style. It appeared somewhat inconsistent when compared to the source material. The use of computer-generated imagery (CG) was appropriate and not excessive. It didn't stand out, but it also didn't give rise to any complaints.
The sound quality was mediocre. Naruto has always had excellent audio in general. I won't say that I disliked it; I just didn't hear anything. Not in the sense that it disappears completely into the surroundings, but rather in the sense that it merely exists. Like in the first season of the series, it should breathe life into the desolate wasteland of obscene writing. Though several musical scores were taken from the TV series, that's why it manages to score a 6. Characters while trying to take themselves seriously, were more of a comedic relief than anything else. What this movie needed was the growth of team Kakashi. Naruto being his usual dumb self, Sakura and Lee had as many lines as that Siberian tiger (!), which somehow managed to be incrusted into this mess of a story.
The "villains" were the laughing stock of the movie, their designs, voices, (and what's with the wannabe Jiraya wigs?) no backstory, no motives, no nothing.
To save you the brain cells (or remnants of the aforementioned if one has already managed to watch this "masterpiece") I'll spare you the details regarding the so-called "character development" Well, OK, I'm just being coy. There isn't anything to spare actually.

I love naruto the anime and manga but this film was bad to much time spent introducing the prince's son and the tiger buy the time we where introduced to the main villians I had already lost interest
Villains were too conventional, storyline was a bit draggy and characters like Kakashi were nerfed pretty bad. I know the movie isn't Canon but it just seemed a bit unrealistic. Also a bit cliche but I really enjoyed the fighting scenes and the animation.
This movie is only worth for the climax. Otherwise boring. Literally I'm slept while watching.
I liked this movie pretty good, but as it is the movies seem to be getting weaker. I liked the snow one the best, the stone one and this one last. The main problem stems in the form of very weak fight scenes. The bad guys in this one are very underdeveloped and I still do not get the point of the wigs. There is a bit to much sentimental stuff going on to as they did some best friends forever pinkie thing way to many times for my liking. Still, it had some good humor and the characters were their usual selves. I am disappointed also by the fact Rock Lee is in the movie, but he just does not seem to play a really big role in the story. He just seems there for the most part, though I liked his end fight the best. The story has our gang of Naruto, Sakura, Lee, and Kakshi guarding a prince and his son. For first part of the film it is basically just Naruto and the prince's son getting to know each other and come to understand each other. The only real action comes in the form of a ship they are traveling on being hit by a storm. Then they arrive at their destination only to discover the king has been overthrown and mysterious shin-obi are working with the councilman who took over. Well you have a clash and the prince gets captured and Naruto and gang have to go to the rescue. So that is basically it, like I said improve the fights a bit, make Lee a bit more important to the plot, and develop the bad guys and this one could have been as good as snow as it is though it was still fun to watch.
