Naruto Shippuuden - The Movie
The dvd has finally been released and Dattebayo has taken little time to fansub it.
The movie immediately starts off with Naruto’s announced death. But, it’s actually just a prediction of the future. Will Naruto be able to change his destiny? Knowing all the other movies were done like a big budget filler episode, they certainly won’t do something that won’t be congruent with the rest of the series.
The plot involves a demon that has been sealed away a long time ago. A survivor from the clan who summoned it once is still alive. He’s trying to summon this demon again. Konoha and the other villages all try to fight back the demon’s army while protecting the only person who can seal the demon again. The actual mission of escorting that person is given to the new Team 7 Neji, Naruto, Sakura and Lee.
All the past movies have followed the same basic formula that involves Naruto having to protect someone with a bad personality. Naruto then changes that person’s point of view and kill the bad guy with a rasengan.
This movies has done the same but, better in my opinion. This one is more serious and the animation quality is even better.
During normal scenes, you can’t really notice the differences with other movies, but when the action comes, it’s all perfect. Along with the second movie, this has been the one I liked the action scenes the most.
The villains are very week, but use some kind of chakra enhancement that makes them really strong, I’m talking epic here. Although it could have been better, the 3d use of the scenery and it’s beautifulness, specially when they fight in the forest makes this eye candy very easy to like whether the action scenes are good or not.
The music was good and fit well with the action scenes. It’s what you would expect from any Naruto animation.
I’m not gonna talk about the end in case you someone didn’t watch, but it was just the average Naruto Movie ending.
The second one is going to involve Sasuke in some way. I hope it’s about some common enemy and not about Naruto and Sasuke facing each other. It would be cool because of the animation, but there would be no point, since their current situation would have to stay unchanged in the end. But I have good expectations, every movie has been getting better than the previous one.
