So after watching The Last: Naruto the Movie, I just thought I'd share my thoughts and overall feeling of the movie. [Slight/Minor spoilers ahead]

The story: Set two years after the Fourth Great Shinobi War, a new threat has arisen in the form of Toneri Otsutseki (descendant of Kaguya)

With the moon threatening to break apart and rain down upon the village of Konaha, Toneri needs the Byakugan to complete his Tenseigan (a legendary dōjutsu created from the thousands of Byakugan sealed by the Ōtsutsuki clan over the last one thousand years)

I was able to understand the story overall, but at times it felt all over the place and sometimes convoluted. Some scenes were so over the top even for the Naruto series.

Toneri as the main villain and a descendant of the Otsutseki , I never did feel that he was an imposing threat. He was a pretty generic villain and for this being "The Last" Naruto movie, you would think that a more imposing villain would be present.

Now the main plot point, that is supposed to be the main selling point for the movie. The relationship between Hinata and Naruto. I get what they were trying to do, but in the end it felt rushed and was only there for the movie's plot. It's hard to believe that Naruto fell in love with Hinata through flashbacks of memories. It's like flicking a switch and saying "Oh, I love this person now" or "I get it now, she's loved me from the very beginning, I guess it's time to settle for her"

This could've been handled better or approached with a different direction than how it was handled.

I didn't get the feels that I got when Naruto meets his dad, or how his parents protected him when he was a baby.

Overall, I felt that it was an okay movie, nothing amazing, dare I say slightly underwhelming.
