That aside, it's a good way to isolate Naruto, Rock Lee, Sakura, and Neji, and focus the action upon them. The resolution will most likely have many people shaking their heads in disbelief at the sheer number of deus ex machina that end up saving the world - since there are no rules regarding Shion and the demon, they can just more or less make it up along the way. ultimate evil? You'd think that at least a few other people would care a little. Why send all the more experienced ninja to stop this army (they end up doing no damage at all to them anyway), and furthermore, Naruto dispatches them easily enough on his own. The lame excuse for having just Team 7 guard the most key person to saving the world really makes no sense. Of course, Team 7 consists of Naruto and Sakura, but this time around, Rock Lee is filling in for Sasuke, and Neji in place of Kakashi, since all of the upper level ninja are tasked with stopping the massive ghost army.
The Scooby gang is switched up a little for world-saving action. It's your basic high action, little story formula that's perfect for satisfying the series' generally younger audience. In fact, the action scenes are the only redeeming quality to the movie, as the story suffers from almost no development at all. Ooh, suspense, suspense! Anyway, if this isn't enough to keep Naruto fans hooked, then the high number of action scenes will. Or does he? The very beginning of the film gives a preview (I don't consider this a SPOILER since it happens within the first two minutes of the movie) of Naruto's death, and subsequent funeral. get assigned to bodyguard work, they face other ninjas, almost face defeat, but then NarutoĪlways comes through and saves the day. The story lacks much depth, and consists of the usual, ultimate evil threatens the world, Naruto & co. The plot behind the movie is one that is highly unoriginal and rather rushed. If you're not particularly fond of the show, then don't expect too much. Simply put, if you like Naruto, then you'll probably like the movie. Of course, that also means it's nothing new or groundbreaking.
What Gekijouban Naruto Shippuuden offers is a healthy dose of your favorite Naruto recipe. But expect to see the usual cheesy ending. My scoring may be somewhat biased, seeing how I am a Naruto fan, but this is truly an enjoyable movie to watch and probably the best Naruto Movie yet. Overall this as a typical Naruto Movie that gives the initial feeling of all previous ones, however it’s able to provide a highly entertaining experience. But one thing no one has heard before is the hilarious ED theme. The music is pretty awesome and matches the moods well but the soundtrack will give the feeling that you’ve heard it before.
However it’s easy to tell that some corners were cut in places like the CG army and fire effects. Fluidly animated action sequences, great lighting effects and interactive environments. This being a movie, high production values are expected and that is exactly what is given. The bad guys this time are rather imaginative (drug users) but there’s no real reasoning given towards their actions. Like always it does do the whole Naruto relating himself to the main character thing but Shion proves to be a fairly in-depth character herself, so it can be forgiven. If you’ve been watching Naruto Shippuuden then you’d know what to expect from them but like always Naruto is the main focus and he’s annoyingly stupid as usual until, later on. But not only is the actual story somewhat interesting, but the underlying-plot about Shion able to predict people’s deaths helps spice things up a bit.Īs I’ve stated earlier, the characters this time round are: Naruto, Sakura, Rock Lee & Neji. The same formula of them having to protect someone of great importance, getting to know said person and have intense battles along the way. Just like all the previous Naruto movies this one uses The only way to prevent this is for the shrine maiden (Shion) to go and reseal the demon, so Team 7 (Naruto, Sakura, Rock Lee & Neji) are tasked to protect her. The story this time round is about a group of rogue ninjas who decided to revive a Demon spirit, which could destroy the world if reunited with its body. So non-Naruto fans shouldn’t really expect to enjoy this, as much. Naruto Movie 4 is made specifically to cater to all the Naruto fans out there, just like what you’d expect from a naruto movie.
