The art is better than the anime but is almost at the anime's level. It is just a bit better than the anime. The music was alright.
But hot damn, the story was just plain freaking bad. The whole Naruto thing feels tacked on. It doesn't feel like Naruto aside from the ninjas put there just to be there. They barely do ANYTHING interesting in the story. There's this rich spoiled kid in the movie who is sad because he doesn't have any friends. You know, there could have been some interesting character development here. But they screwed that part up. I won't spoil anything anyways. Characters, as I said, are there just to be there and there are the overweight guy and the annoying brat who are pretty bad characters. But ,I mean, at least Naruto is here... and Kakashi, even though he barely did anything here. The story is like a cliched kid's movie - the power of friendship. That brat is just so annoying and he isn't even a good character. They TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY! The tiger and the monkey don't really help either and make it even more cliched in that child movie way. The movie is just boring in general. It was like a high-production value filler but one of the baaaaad fillers.
Overall, this movie is bad, 3/10. There are not many redeeming qualities here. Should you watch it? Unless you are like me and insist on watching all these movies, no. It's rather boring. You might enjoy it anyways but that's up to you. It's like a bad filler - so if you like most fillers (not saying you have a bad taste or whatever) or are just BEGGING for more Naruto (Why though?), you might consider this movie if you don't have other things Naruto.
