It's finally here. My bro managed to get a copy from his streamyx-owning friend the other day and so i able to watch it recently.
This synopsis goes like this:
Uzumaki Naruto, Hatake Kakashi, Haruno Sakura, and Rock Lee are sent to protect a prince during his trip around the world and see that he returns safely to his home in the Moon Country. The Moon Country happens to be really rich and as such the Prince tends to buy anything his heart desires. During his travels the Prince comes across a circus group that features a rare Sabre-toothed tiger that he just has to have, so he purchases the entire group. Suddenly a mission to protect the prince that hardly listens to anything said, turns into a mission to look after animals and a prince that doesn't listen to what they say, and in the end somehow get them all back safely to their home country. All the while there are three mysterious Ninja wielding some frightening jutsu waiting for them.
Two words to describe this- DAMN DISAPPOINTING !!
*Spoilers Alert*
Okay, while the animation and the graphics are top notch, the same cant be said to the storyline and the action scene. In fact it's almost a kiddy fare.
The story starts slowly, only picking up pace halfway into the story. And the real action begins here when the three ninjas show up, hired by the evil minister who wishes to overthrow the kingdom. Well, some action.
Compare to the amazing opening scene of the previous movie (Naruto the Movie 2: The Illusionary Ruins at the Depths of the Earth) this one totally lack the impact and the exotic moves, that totally went as expected ( Naruto went nine-tail berserk and saves everyone). Even the climax sucks (Full powered Kage-Bunshin just to act as a cushion to a falling over-weight prince , a brat and a tiger) and a lame excuse and totally uncool way to use the rasengan as a finisher.
Also it's sad to see Rock Lee so underused here that his presence is almost neglectable. Even his fighting scene (which the best of all in this movie) was rather simple and brief. I really wish he could use Gai-sensei's ultimate move- Morning Peacock, instead a pair of nuchuck.
And what with the wigs the three evil ninjas are wearing. Make them looks like some members of Jiraiya- sama fan club. *sweats* And you really wishes their jutsu is more that. All too familiar. And the leader is such a weaking.
As for the plot, it lacks the depth of the previous movie.. far too simplistic and dull for todays "shonen" to watch. Even kiddy fare like the latest pokemon movie (Lucario and The Legend of Mew) has better plot than this. What a waste.
*Spoilers Ends*
So basically this movie only for rabid naruto fans only. Watch at your own risk. For other, better stick to the weekly manga.
