Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

ThatAnimeSnob (ThatAnimeSnob) What makes this particular gimmick in the time-line disappointing, is that there is no excitement regarding the conflict of the story. The whole fuss about the moon falling on earth and wiping out humanity instantly becomes unimportant. We knew right away that the good guys will win and survive, since we see them in the last chapter. OK, of course and you expect the good guys to always win in such childish stories, but that doesn't mean you should make the outcome obvious before the first trailer is even out.But it's not like anyone cared about what the conflict is about. The only thing the movie had as its trump card was showing how Naruto and Hinata finally become a couple. That is literally the only thing that matters in it, and even that one is handled in a ridiculous way. Since Kishimoto has no idea of what romance is, he made the whole thing seem forced and artificial. It is so fake, that it's as if you are watching fan fiction, made by the actual creator of the show.The first part is basically Naruto being chased around by girls who are after his D but since he is homo for Sasuke, he doesn't care about any of them. They try to make it seem like he is too dense to understand what they want, but come on, if you are a 17 year old male who knows how to turn into a naked girl and is still not sexually attracted by a thousand willing females rubbing all over your body, you are not straight.Hinata is the only girl not hitting on him, because she is shy, the only trait that defines her as a character. What, you expected more development in a show like Naruto? You should be pleased if they go as far as changing clothes once every 3 years. That's as far as it will ever get.This super harem of one indecisive lead being surrounded by a thousand horny chicks is eventually interrupted by yet another group of evil ninjas who attack the village and are after Hinata. Obvious plot hole right here by the way, that security system the village has, is magically not triggering when intruders appear, like it did with Pein. I guess all the ninjas are asleep.After some convoluted explanation, we get even more ass-pulls thrown into the backdrop story of this world, regarding some faction on the moon that wants to wipe out humanity with yet another power up of the magical eyes. Remember when the show was not always about the magical eyes and huge magical animals? Yeah, it was so fun back then.Anyways, our heroes conveniently find this portal that can magically take them on the moon. Once inside they are struck by some illusions that make them see stuff from their past. And THAT is how Naruto starts realizing Hinata loves him. Yes, you heard right, for the millionth time a flashback is used to excuse PLOT. And it still doesn't have any effect for the next hour because Naruto is STILL unable to realize what that means. I told you he is homo.The next part is the usual fuss all such movies have. Some one-dimensional villain wants to blow up poop and get the ultimate power, blah-blah, seen that a thousand times. You can swap the script with any other movie from any other fighting title and you won't even tell the difference.Anyways, the battles eventually take place and boy, this is where the movie turns even more like DBZ, since the characters are now so strong that they glow, fly, blow up meteorites, and slice the moon in half. Oh, and there is also a doomsday weapon the good ninjas plan to use in order to destroy the moon as a last resort. How convenient that they didn't use it all this time in the story, and it's funny to realize that the peak of power in the Naruto world is the use of a huge cannon that can blow up the moon. Something which Muten Roshi could do 20 episodes in the original Dragonball WITH HIS BARE HANDS.Sasuke also appears at this point, and it's only for three seconds. He blows up a meteor, and immediately leaves, and that somehow means he is now a couple with Sakura, the girl he ignored and tried to kill throughout the show. I guess blowing up meteors translates as romantic in the mind of Kishimoto.After that, the usual poop happens and Naruto predictably saves the day with a friendship speech and by blasting yet another energy ball in the face of the enemy. Oh my, I totally didn't expect that to happen, he only did the same thing in every other movie so far. The last scene is him realizing Hinata loves him, and that totally excuses why he chose her, and not any of the other one thousand girls in the village who also did the exact same thing.And that is how the movie ends. What a waste it was. But hey, at least it is the last one, as the title suggests. No more of this crap! … Nah, who are we kidding, Kishimoto would be insane to stop milking this franchise. The title quickly becomes a troll once you know there is another movie named Boruto coming after it. Stay classy Kishi, you are such a great writer.

rollins-19092 20:06 - *Hinata hangs by a scarf off a building so she won't slide down the side and plummet to her doom*YOU'RE A NINJA!!! USE YOUR CHAKRA TO ATTACH TO THE WALL!!!! THAT'S SOME 1ST ARC LEVEL STUFF FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!41:15 - *Naruto falls down some stairs, hurts his back, and asks Hinata to apply some salve to a spot he can't reach*YOU'RE A NINJA!!!! USE A SHADOW CLONE JUTSU LIKE YOU DID IN EVERY EPISODE EVER OF THE SHOW EVER AND APPLY THE LOTION YOUR DAMN SELF!!!!!57:30 - *Throwaway movie villain narrates he's grand plan on how / why he plans to destroy the world and how it somehow ties into the main plotI'm sorry. We're halfway through this feature film and I'm hearing the villains monologue and the only thing I can think is, "Why didn't they use Orochimaru for this?!? SASUKE LITERALLY BROUGHT THE MEGATRON-LEVEL-ARCHNEMISIS OF THE SERIES BACK TO LIFE AND LEFT HIM JUST WALKING AROUND AT THE END OF THE MANGA. LIKE DID WE FORGET THAT HE'S BASICALLY A NINJA NAZI SCIENTIST WHO DOES EXPERIMENTS ON PEOPLE?!?!?! THEY HAD TO USE THIS NO NAME YUTZ FOR THE VILLAIN OF THE FINAL INSTALLMENT OF THE SERIES AND NOT THE CLASSIC VILLAIN WHO WAS LITERALLY ALIVE AGAIN ALREADY?!?!?! I MEAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD AT LEAST DIGIMON KNEW TO BRING OUT MIYOTISMON AS A CROWD PLEASER!!!"1:50 *Naruto and Hinata finally kiss after 8 years of reading this damn comic*"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW.... this is the greatest movie of all time ;u;"So yeah, I can understand why this material wasn't in the comic. Naruto's primary focus in terms of theme was one of getting stronger, rivalry, fighting evil, and rising to your dreams (ya know, like every other shonen ever). Maybe a story in the time skip detailing how Naruto and Hinata actually did end up together could have been done well, but this movie certainly isn't it. The writing in this thing is Fanfiction level in quality. Not bad fanfiction... more like the fanfiction level of a high schooler who could write at a good level if they kept at it for 10 years and maybe switched over to public domain characters. But fanfiction. The romance is so sappy my DVD player was leaking maple syrup. The action is gigantic in scale and beautifully animated, but boring and predictable in everything that happens. It even forgets its own universes established rules and consistencies in the battle system (i.e. not using chakra to stick to those DAMN WALLS HINATA C'MON). But...I have been shipping these two guys since the Chunin exam arc and seeing this film and those two get married and have little ninja babies warmed by bitter old heart. 10/10 best film ever should have won the Oscar for best feature film. Screw you Pixar.

pe_ep I loved the general idea of the movie, of course we needed a final movie with Sasuke and Naruto in a epic fight to close Naruto Shippuden.The things I like The idea (place, bad guy, the motivation and other things) for the movie is excellent taking in mind how the manga ended.The Naruto and Hinata getting together needed something like this for the fans, and to open the road for Boruto.The fights are well done with good dynamics and beautiful drawings.The credits really well done don't forget to watch.The last clip after the credits makes you want a Boruto manga.The things I didn't like the 2 thing i didn't like was how relationship between Naruto and Hinata develops, and that Hinata, in this movie that is made for development of his character didn't grow.What I mean is that the movie should begin with the shy Hinata that can't speak with Naruto, and make them become more close and friendly through the movie, at same time Hinata should become more comfortable with Naruto and show her true power, and because of this Naruto Acknowledge her.Hinata needed to have a moment to prove herself and the others in the final fight (of course Naruto should fight the final part).The end should have been Naruto and Hinata been friendly going out of the moon with some comedy from Hinata's sister, and then the narration from Sakura meanwhile some clips without audio of Naruto inviting Hinata to some ramen, walking together, been playful ( Hinata still shy but able to talk to Naruto), and ending with a kiss.This way the movie is not to romantic ( some times slowing the pace of the movie) and avoids the jump from been not even friends to be in love so instantly.At the end not excellent movie but a good one, if you're a fan you need to see it, if you're not fan is OK, but you should start watching Naruto I bet you'll love it.

kadiotatsuryu This film is hands down the greatest Naruto movie ever... or at least yet. And that is saying something since I can't say how many Naruto movies are definitely better than the previous. Not that many. And take note, I was a pretty serious Narusaku fan, which should say something too. I'm a say what I liked about this movie. 1. Animation: As far as the Naruto anime goes, I agree with a quote saying that it's sort of a mixed bag. It's good and sometimes average and sometimes just off. The art and animations of this movie make this the most appealing thing ever to come out for Naruto under Studio Pierrot. It is beautiful, to say the least. Not just among Naruto movies but Anime movies as well. It's also quite colorful. 2. Characters: This movie takes place of course within the Naruto universe but it is especially interesting because the events take place two years following the end of the main series, besides the epilogue, so after the war. We get to see a number of our favorite character nostalgically go on a mission again. It's nice to see them in action again especially if you're a Naruto fan and liked them before. Especially the protagonist himself. The title, The Last also connotes how this movie is The Last stage of trials which mainly concern Naruto and the final stage of his maturity as we get to see him truly become a man in more than just his skills as a shinobi as he finally confronts his feelings towards Hinata, who has had feelings for him since they were kids. And Sakura was great. Warning: Not all that much of Sasuke and Kakashi. 3. Sound: The music in this movie is at least, really good and refined from the original soundtrack plus more. It touches different people in different ways ranging from Great to Tear- jerking. I was closer to the latter. 4. Action: Action was fantastic, especially if you're a sucker for fast paced punches and kicks, jutsu powers and explosions. It's also nice to see how much stronger favorite characters have gotten over the two years, especially Naruto with his new right arm. There probably weren't as many fight scenes as in other Naruto movies, but their were enough. And whenever there were, the studio made sure the characters absolutely KILLED IT. 5. Plot: This movie has a more solid plot than all Naruto films before it by a longshot. Because it's the first one ever to be canonically situated in the plot of the main Naruto story. I'll get to the romantic stuff in a bit, but for now I'm mainly talking about the conflict. The moon is crashing down to Earth and the ninja world must act to save themselves. Most importantly, there's no around Naruto and Hinata's relationship in the story. This movie got me understand NH and accept it more easily. It's also much a needed wrap up for their relationship. Another uncommon plus to it is that even viewers who are unfamiliar with the Naruto story will understand and be able to follow this film, since it tends to all the relevant points with references and/or flashbacks. Conclusion: In every main and standard aspect of this move criticizable, The Last: Naruto The Movie does a stupendous job. It is stunning,kinda funny for a newcomer, hilarious for a fan of the series, dramatic, has a bunch of epic scenes, and most importantly, it is profound. Profound uniquely so for a Shonen Anime Movie. Whether you are a new to Naruto, or you too go way back, and regardless of who you wanted Naruto, or any of the characters, to end up with. Go watch this movie if you haven't. You might even learn something, ya know. 10/10
