This movie is probably the most hyped up movie out of all the Naruto movies there is and I would say that this movie is one of the most disappointing ones.
Story: (4/10)
The story of The Last: Naruto the Movie (brilliant name) begins with a flashback of Hinata getting bullied by a couple of kids and Naruto comes in to try and stop them but he gets beat up by them and they rip up his scarf. It then skips into 2 years after the fourth shinobi war and Hinata's sister is kidnapped by some mysterious people and now Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Sai, and Shikamaru must go and save Hinabi. I think that the romance between Naruto and Hinata was really forced into the movie so that Naruto could fall in love with Hinata because in the beginning of the movie Naruto wasn't interested at all in Hinata. One scene that really showed this was the scene when Naruto and his group jump into a weird bubble that has a genjutsu on it that causes people to see memories which doesn't make any sense for the villain to put on because it causes no harm to the characters and through Hinata's knitted scarf Naruto and Hinata are able to somehow go through each others memories. After Naruto sees all of Hinata's memories he suddenly realizes that she is in love with him and he starts to fall in love with her and this is all showed in a jumbled up mess of scenes showing the times where Hinata was subtly and non-subtly showing her feelings to Naruto. I really don't get why Naruto is able to see these specific memories of Hinata instead of her other ones. I also found the first half of the movie annoying because it was pretty much about Hinata debating if she is or not going to give Naruto her knitted scarf. I found all the action scenes in this movie to be very over the top to the point were I thought that I was watching Dragon Ball Z with the absurd amount of power being shown. Examples of this is when Naruto's chakra is taken out of him and made into a ball and it falls to the ground and causes a gigantic explosion that goes the moon and causes a big crater in the ground, the moon gets cut in half during the final battle, and Sasuke cuts a giant meteor into pieces. There is pretty much no more boundaries in how much power the characters could have now.
Art and Animation: (7/10)
The art in this movie was good and it really showed during the action scenes and there are some interesting visuals during the final scenes of the movie and credit scene. The animation was equally as good as the art in quality with everything feeling alive.
Sound: (4/10)
I thought they would go all out on the soundtrack of this movie but disappointingly they didn't and it just ended up being forgettable like the soundtracks from all the other Naruto movies before it. The voice actors all did a good job voice acting even though some of the characters in the movie had one line to say.
Characters: (4/10)
There were a lot of unnecessary characters added into the story because of how little they did to help and were only added into the story so that people could see how the characters would look like in a 2 year time skip but the problem is that all the characters still look the same with Naruto being the only one changing because it looks like he is balding now. Hanabi is rarely in the movie even though the whole point in the beginning is to go save her and the characters going to go save her don't really look like they are going under any stress about it especially Hinata. I felt that the main antagonist was underdeveloped and just kind of came out of nowhere in the story.
Enjoyment: (4/10)
Interesting visuals, good animation, cool but absurd fight scenes, and there was this one scene when the moon suddenly crashes into the school during the genjutsu scene and I though it was hilarious.
Overall: (4/10)
The Last: Naruto the Movie is a movie that I'm sure the fans of Naruto will love but I just think that it is a mess of a movie.
