Something that bothers me about Naruto the Last is that it doesn’t fully commit. As in, it’s not a movie about Naruto or Hinata.

The plot only concerns Hinata, the villain only cares about Hinata, the plot only seems to move forward when something happens to Hinata or she does something, and much of the story is from Hinata’s point of view. By all literary measurements, Hinata is the main character of the last, not Naruto. (I am not the first one to mention this.) However, the movie still wants us to think Naruto is the main character, so he’s the one who resolves the conflict and has an extremely forced “character arc”.

It’s like the movie couldn’t decide who should be the main character but is resolute in only one of them being the main character. Or maybe they just wanted to make a movie about Hinata but needed to justify using Naruto on the cover and in all the advertising.

Do I think that fixing this one problem would’ve made Naruto the Last a good movie? No. The plot is still ridiculous, Toneri is still both bland and underutilized, and the “love story” at the core of it is still laughable. But it wouldn’t be all that much worse than any of the other Naruto movies, save for maybe the fact that it’s canon.
