Naruto the Movie Review


 

The DVD of the first film for the popular anime series Naruto was released a few days ago, and of course, was in a very short period fan subbed and shared through file sharing programs, mainly bit torrent. I was pretty interested in seeing the movie, because on narutofan.com they mentioned that the movie would be an action movie but would also share some things about one of the character’s (Kakashi’s) past, which it doesn’t, well nothing palpable.

Cliche’ness aside, it’s uncensored which is good, the animation work is also pretty good, but it’s nothing more than what you can expect from the anime.

The story is dull, predictable and full of action sequences with a joke or two between them to try and spice things up, but it doesn’t. If I were to rate it from one to five, I’d rate it somewhere between a two and a three. Even the Power Rangers movie (don’t ask) had a more elaborate script.

Bottom line, only watch it if you have time to waste or just simply nothing better to do with it, you won’t win or lose anything from watching this movie, you’ll probably just be numb at the end of it. This movie was clearly made to promote Naruto as a franchise, not for the enjoyment of Naruto fans.

    I’m asking.

    What were you doing watching Power Rangers.

  2. Griffith says:

    I was 13 at the time…

    me and my nephew (that is 7 months older than me O.o) used to like Power Rangers at the time, the very first series…

    …mercy?

  3. Justin says:

    Which Power Rangers movie exactly? There was the original one, and some ninja one, and another one with…
    omgwtfbbqlol!!!!11eleven.

  4. Griffith says:

    I can’t believe you guys are more interested in Power Rangers than anime… but anyways it was the first movie, although it did have ninjas in it.

  5. I wasn’t all that excited after watching the movie. It was like watching a blend between an OVA and one of those horrible Jump Fiesta episodes.

    I very much enjoy the movie. I’d give it a 4 out of 5. The hero-water special — that was abysmal — terrible conventions, out-of-canon events … just terrible. This movie was good stuff.

  7. lok-lok says:

    Nah, didnt like it. No way is narutos character able to express himself like that. The whole linkage with Kakashi was not believable either. Better quality than the hero water tripe, but that wouldnt be hard.

    Animation itself, top notch. But i really do need a new anime series…. since samurai champloo finished…

  8. Geowil says:

    hmm, the movie was alright, and it did reveal some of Kikashi’s past, we know that he’s from the Snow Contry now, and that he had close ties with the rules of it before it got over taken. In would rate this along side the specials; Secret Hidden Falls Mission and The Crimson four leaf clover, so about 3.5 to 4 outa 5.

    the series was reali good so i thought the movie would be outstanding.
    instead, the movie was so disappointing. who cares about some dudes filming a movie?
