Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's just awesome. Some people might say that its based to much on love but you actually get to see naruto's 'mushy' side and some great developmemt in his character. He just had to man up at some point. The movie really is worth a watch. And has great action too.

The Last: Naruto the Movie is nowhere near a Masterpiece. It failed at being a romantic, action, or suspense movie. It had great animation which is to be expected from a such a wealthy franchise but other than that I do not see an intense value in it as some people claim it has. In a Romantic movie you usually see characters build an unbreakable, profound, intense, and spectacular bond that warms and at the same time sets your heart on fire through some kind of meaningful method. Yet in this movie Naruto fell in love with Hinata in around a minute and a half through an illusion. Love is all about emotion in my opinion and there was no emotion in that scene much less the sense of love at least for me as the viewer. In short the movie lacked the emotion to make me care about their love throughout the movie. I had to force myself to finish this movie because it was predictable and could not care about the characters. A movie like this should make you care about the character and be at the edge of your seat but this movie failed at that. Furthermore, I loved the action but there was not enough of it therefore I cannot give it full marks as an action movie which in all honesty was not the purpose of this movie. The purpose was shallow in my opinion because it was to explain how Naruto ended up with Hinata. I would like to note that this weakens the movie because it depends on the series in my opinion. However Kishimoto did say it would so I will not take my opinion into consideration when scoring. Most importantly the plot was not bad but underdeveloped and some elements of the story were unexplained and confusing. However I want to note that I did enjoy it at some points. Thank you for reading and like many this is my opinion so please take it with a grain of salt.

The Last: Naruto The Movie (2014) The Last: Naruto The Movie was produced in 2014 and was made at a studio called Aniplex. Currently the Naruto series has 8 movies in total. This movie was directed by Tsuneo Kobayashi, who has produced and filmed other popular anime movies and shows such as: The Twelve Kingdoms (2002-), Montana Jones (1994-), and Drunken Angel (1948). Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of Naruto, wrote the script and screenplay of this movie. Naruto has many popular voice actors such as: Junko Takeuchi (Naruto Uzuamki), Nina Mizuki (Hinata Hyuga), and Jun Fukuyama (Toneri Ôtsutsuki). The Last: Naruto The Movie takes place two years after the Fourth Great Ninja War has ended, but now the ninja world faces a new threat. The moon begins to descend towards Earth threatening to wipe out everything on impact. During the commotion, Hannabi Hyuga, a fellow shinobi and Hinata's kid sister, is kidnapped by the alien, Toneri Ôtsutsuki. It is up to Naruto Uzuamki and 4 of his fellow ninja comrades: Hinata Hyuga, Sai, Sakura Harino and Shikamaru Nara of the Leaf Village to destroy and extinguish the approaching threat. Even though the film is about the 5 Great Ninja Nations coming together to exterminate the incoming threat, the film mainly gives an in depth conclusion on the relationship on the Naruto's love interest, Hinata Hyuga. I have always been a Naruto fan and I have watched it since I was in elementary school. Many fans have been waiting for a movie that concludes what happens to the village and how the characters mature into their adulthood and how they have become stronger as shinobi. It is a beautiful ending, especially given how difficult it was for Naruto growing up as an orphan child. Every bit of this film was crafted with devoting detail, from the beautiful landscapes and sceneries to the nostalgic instrumentals that helped to narrate the story and bring it all together. Our characters have grown into brilliant, capable adults and the story does a fantastic job of tying up some of the unanswered plot threads left over from the manga. Although the fighting scenes were fairly brief, they were filled with much action and were highly anticipated. The fighting scenes, also, came together so gracefully and the background instrumentals made it come together as well, but the fighting scenes weren't as evenly distributed as they could have been. The film is supposed to be about Naruto, so naturally the hero received majority of the focus. The characterization and plot had been modified by the original creator, Masashi Kishimoto, and it beautifully shows how our favorite characters have matured into adults, leaving the audience to come the realization that the characters we have come to know and love, are no longer young and reckless children. If you were ever fond of Naruto at some point in your life or if you want to see a great love story, do yourself a favor and watch this movie so you can see his long deserved, happy ending. It's not only satisfying, but it helps you transition over to the next part of the story. This film did a fantastic job balancing out its formal techniques and thematic content. The film took a little over a year to make due to extensive editing and cinematography, but it was worth every painstaking moment. The counterpoint or background music played a huge role in the making of this movie. If the scene is supposed to be sad, the music would come to ensure that you felt that way. The lighting also played a critical part in the film, as well. The lighting made characters seem bigger than they actually were. It gave the allusion that the character was superior to everyone else. The Last: Naruto The Movie has many genres such as: action, romance, comedy, and adventure. This film does a fantastic job with bringing all of the sub genres together. The graphics came out to a beautiful finish with a great plot.This film can be described in many words but the word that comes to mind is simply beautiful. It received 7.8 out of 10 on IMDb but I believe it deserves a 10 out of 10. It was a master piece. This film also stood out among the many other Naruto films with the graphics, developing the characters, and the action was all amazing. It shows how they have grown, changed and matured, stirring at the hearts of the many Naruto fans that have watched it from the beginning to the end. Words alone could not describe this film's beauty. I strongly recommend this movie to Naruto fans and even the people who have never seen Naruto before. It is a film you should not miss.

It's no wonder that this movie got low ratings in Japan because it's just that terrible. The fans who like this movie are the Hinata fanboys/fangirls that are caught up with their childish love story fantasies. Because let's face it Naruto and Hinata was never meant to happen. Naruto was forced to be to be with the stalker he never much cared for. So they made this movie to justify all that and came up with random things that doesn't fit in the manga. And what's even worse is that it broke the shonen theme of the manga by showing excessive romance in the movie which is what a typical Disney movie is like where the guy falls in love and saves the "princess in distress". How creative! The villain and the story is a fail as well. The only purpose of the villain is to hook up Naruto and Hinata since they never had any developments in the manga. Overall I give this movie 1/10 mainly because it fails to follow the Naruto manga as explained above.-11 year old girls and boys looking for a romantic Disney movie will find this 'romantic' film enjoyable!
