I mean, it was still a really good movie. My main beef with this movie is that the tone isn't the classic Naruto tone. It isn't as intense and passionate as the original series is because it isn't meant to be-- it's meant to showcase a romance... which might not be a great fit for Naruto. So, I think the movie sacrificed some of what made Naruto so great, but it was still really lovely to watch.
The reason I say that is because it's nice to see a transition from how these characters left off in the series to how they end up in the future. I feel like, with the shonen genre especially, not enough care is taken to show how the characters grew up, so I'm glad we get to see the beginnings of that with this movie.
The actual story wasn't the best as it was kind of wonky, even for Naruto. I think because it was a film (and I'm used to watching Naruto in a "whoa-look-how-many-episodes-this-has" format), it felt rushed. The actual conflict didn't make a whole lot of sense, and the motives of the villain was lackluster, especially by Naruto standards. Basically, the story was there for the sole purpose of forwarding the romantic relationship between... well, you'll see when you watch it.
It isn't a bad movie at all, even more so if you love Naruto to begin with. I'm only being nitpicky about it because I want people to know what they'll be getting, but if you love these characters, it's gonna be a nice experience for you. The sole benefit of seeing this relationship come into being was enough for me, and I'm glad I watched it. Now, to finish the last few episodes of Shippuuden.
