Bleh...the movie was completely bland. I thought it would be a lot more interesting with the fourth hokage and all but I guessed wrong. How many 'best' or 'super' rasengans have we encountered? Compilation probably already exist..but the movie overall was bad HURP DURp 5/10 |

heidurzo said: I think the ending would have been a lot better if Agreed. I think the same. But still, if the memories remained the future would have been changed ... Nevertheless it was a great movie! I loved it <3 :) ![]() |

Just one thing that I left absent from my first post simply because it seems so obvious in my opinion, but somehow people seems to think otherwise. The way Shippuuden "the series" try to glue fillers into the storyline might make it understandable that they have to sew everything with redundancy so not to spell catastrophe with Kishimoto's story, but this is not the case at all! Hell, they showed a glimmer of hope on the last movie (or was it the one before that?! The one with the flying fortress and stuff) when they introduced some COMPLETELY out of the scope of the original story interaction between Sasuke and Naruto. No memory wipe was used but it's not likely that something like that would happen on the continuity they are striving for. My point is simple, why the hell do they even bother to follow it in the first place?! They have a wealth of original characters, an insane amount of plausible tangents to approach and still they get back on relying upon crap like this?! WHY?! I can kinda understand some higher ups think alternate/self contained two hour stories could alienate some of their dumb user base (the term Narutards come from somewhere after all) but it doesn't change the fact that they are just blowing away good opportunities to create worthwhile stuff. ...this coming from an industry that relies so heavy on visual novels and the whole alternate path thing makes it even bitter!

Compared to the last few Naruto movies this was a really big let down especially after all the hype it got beforehand. For reasons most people have already mentioned. Also I can't believe Minato so easily deduced Naruto was from the future like, as soon as he decided to unmask himself. I mean, sure he [Naruto] needed to find out someway otherwise he'd run around madly going "WHERE AM I?!" the whole time but making Minato the one to tell him felt unrealistic....if it was Yamato it would've made much more sense but instead he's [Yamato] MIA for most of the movie. *rolls eyes* And like most everyone I was bummed about the memory wipe...I mean, sure I understand why a memory wipe for the people of the past makes sense but Yamato and Naruto too? Aw c'mon...there was no real danger/need to erase theirs too. Boo.

4/10 was very bad i guess the main problem was the city of rouran was massive with all those towers and there were only 10 rouran civilians who sara saved = lazy IMO |

Every Naruto movie end with a special rasengan :D Sad that Rasen Shuriken didn't work. The memory-wipe thing shouldn't have happen! And i hope that there will be more Naruto-Minato interaction because i was looking forward to it so much (also more Naruto-miniKakashi interaction). If there is going to be memory-wipe, they should have talk since it wouldn't change the history :( p.s. i also thought sara might be naruto's mum. lol. |

dang they could have made the fighting scenes more enjoyable like the 3rd movie but no the animation is so mediocre for a movie but good ending none the less i knew they would do something as making everybody forget about everything because it will create plot holes on the main story P.S. minato is weak in this movie i hope another movie will come that give him the proper showing of his powers in the manga lol *almost spoiler alert* |

-Love the beginning (: Especially how Naruto was dragged (by his foot) by one of Sai's ink creatures xD -Thought the song that the girl Sara sang in the beginning was very lovely and deep. -The architecture reminds me of a mix between Gothic, Roman and something else. But I think mostly Gothic. -Minato <3 8D Jiraiya! :D Lol poor Jiraiya xD Minato just left/ditched him ^^; -Little Kakashi 8D <3 -Mukade's puppets seem so weak. They walk AWFULLY slow too. -I really thought Sara was actually stripping for one moment o.O But anyways, it's interesting how the song actually gave hints on how they could be protected from Mukade -Finally we get to see Rasen Shuriken! Too bad his attack didn't work the first time :/ -And Minato is able to do rasengan without a clone. Ownage 0: -Super Rasengan huh? Decent attack, but I kind of wish we get to see Naruto end the fight with his Rasen Shuriken :/ -LOL at Yamato smacking little Kakashi's head! xD -*Sniff* The part where Naruto was about to say "Are you my father" was touching ;__; and Minato smiling at him back makes this even more touching. Overall decent movie. Just wished they handled the part with how strong Minato was better (he seemed weaker than he should be). But I guess it couldn't be helped since Naruto is the main the character and must have most of the spotlight :/ But it was still nice seeing Minato (and little Kakashi haha) <3 Though I was hoping that we would see Naruto's mom but o well ^^; Sara was an okay character though she's almost generic as the other girls in the past Shippuuden movies. But at least she did something useful. And I actually like her singing and think she is kinda pretty. As for the villain...I think they need to work on that part just because the villain is so generic and boring like most other villains in the past Naruto and Naruto Shippuuden movies. If they create more interesting villains...or even use the numerous amt. of characters that Kishimoto already created, then they can potentially make a good movie (as long as they also don't mess up the current plot). But anyways, I REALLY REALLY wished there was more screentime for Minato and little Kakashi. 7/10 - In general, okay-ish movie but not memorable enough for me like the past Naruto movies. The only parts I truly enjoyed were Minato and Kakashi moments. Oh and like I mentioned before, I really enjoyed the part where Yamato gets to punch Kakashi on the head. Would have been funny if the current Kakashi remembered this but theres the memory wipe thing so this wouldnt happen >_>; The trailer really fooled me into thinking that there would be some son-father bonding time between Minato and Naruto *sigh* :/ Modified by sallym613, 05-07-11, 3:18 PM |

Why does every Naruto Movie have to have some type of over powered Rasengan? That made this not so great moive into a fail to me. I was hoping for a lot more knowing it would be Naruto and Minato working together. O well can't complain too much. Nice to see the 4th with a little screen time.

Could have been better. The action especially. The Puppets were crap. I was expecting Kankuro level of control. but that didn't Happen. The fact that the movie was basically a 90 minute long action special was just bad. We didn't get to see Naruto in Sennin Mode (Which is a given) We finally get to see him use his Rasen Shuriken but that gets absorbbed before impact (Which was very disappointing) He didn't utilise the Chakra Knife as much as he could have. Sakura and Sai near to nothing screen Time. Was good to see minato in there. But was disappointed by his lack of techniques. I also noticed that this was before the war since Kakashi still has his original left eye. It was nice to see Gai and his mates all young. and Jiraiya again. The singing was good. But over all it could have been better. The design of Mukade's final form was very disappointing. Overall these Shippudden movies are all taking a different approach to the Usual Naruto Movie Formula. http://shintai88.deviantart.com/ Just some of my artwork (Total Noob Btw) |

supermegasonic said: so this movie would sorta happen after jiriya's death and before his sage training? anyway, i like how based on his instincts alone he was following his dad. as for sara, she should have atleast hugged him or somthing. and yes, every naruto movie has a new rasangen that can only be used in a one-in-a-million situation and isn't used again. they should make a special sage mode rasangan, and i guess it would be able to be thrown too. as for this movie, well lets just say that you experience it, and than nobody talks about it again, since everyone "forgot" i agree with you but see there was no break in between Jiriays death and histoad training, and right after he fought pain n found out his dad was the 4th hokage minato.. which mean he should have known already by this movie... this is what i didnt like about rhis movie... so much of "is he the 4th hokage?" "could he be my father?" he shoudl have known, and i think the producers of the movie effed up in that part.... then again this is my personal opinion... |

Yeah i like the fact theres some sort of "romance" in the movie (which happens in almost every naruto movie). Altought i would've wanted some more interaction with Naruto and his dad, maybe some interaction with the other team members, and i would've liked it if they showed some of Yamato's time with little Kakashi xD. But for the rest i loved to see Minato in action with his kage bunshin attacks( that was awesome). The movie was good for me i'll give it a 7.3 |

WHAT? It was actually quite disappointing, as everyone is saying. The fights were average and im pretty sure that this was set before he had the senin training because he only used the bunshin technique and the rasengan with the fail resenshurikan the was a proper attack from him... Because of before his training, he coulnt do anything but that. He just went straight forward to the enemy but ofcourse you would end up getting hit. AND! extremely disappointing that Minato ( <3) didnt get as much screen time as i was expecting, as well as Kakashi (<3), i was expecting at least 5 minutes screen time from him, but he just showed for around 30 sec in the beginning and in the end which was upsetting for me just as much as not seeing Minato. Last year from the trailer, i was definite that the main characters would be naruto (ofcourse) and Minato, Minato did show up early in this movie but he is always disappearing! and the part that stood out for me was when Nauto was tiring to hold the evil dude ( which was pathetic and didnt have a story) back. Where did Minato go??! I dont read the manga, and dont plan to, but since Minato has only used the simplest techniques ever, but they are really strong. Like replicating shuriken into a mass amount. The princess was a likeable character i believe. She had her 'things she had to do' and she had a strong will and was brave. ONly that she didnt have any touching or memorable dialogue. Most of the time she was denying something, follow me, hings i have to do ect. Although her singing was emotional. Talking about emotional, the last scene where they were just going back was my favorite. I liked how Yamato hit kakashi in the head. and how CALM he was when he saw the 4th Hokage/Minato. " its a honor to meet you" well, you couldn't really say anymore that anyway... And THEY FORGOT THEIR MEMORIES! *BANGS HEAD ON DESK* nOOOO! uUGH, that was real annoying, but it was inevitable. History would've changed and throughout the whole Movie when Naruto was tiring to bring up about the present - him being the hokage and stuff, he always stopped him. If they did remember it would of changed history, and when Minato meet naruto in the pain fight it wouldnt have been as emotional. MInato did know that he was his son right? Did naruto find out? I dont think so..... he only found out that he was the 4th Hokage. Wonder what he said in end. Someone said that he said 'naruto' then someone else said 'musuko' meaning son. hmmm. That reminded he of NS movie Kizuna when NAruto said that thing to Sasuke but we did find out what he said in the end of the movie. Well, loved it because of Kakashi and Minato. Soz. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 could of been better, hoping blood prison is better. |
