Now, I personally thought that this movie had a pretty good mix of all the components of a Naruto movie: character development, action, and dialogue meant to move the watcher. There are also many cameo shots of nearly every minor and major character in the series... except Sasuke ((sigh)).
The plot of the movie is to follow Naruto and the rest of the gang as the chase after Kakashi who has been possessed by a problem child looking for power through bloodline limits. At first, Tsunade orders for no one to subdue Kakashi, but of course, Naruto goes after him anyways, taking Sakura and Sai along with him. Shikamaru and the rest of the happy-go-lucky Konoha gang go along after them, planning to stop him from rescuing Kakashi.
I liked the plot of the story, what having it to do with friendship and all, but maybe that's just me being a sappy girl. Nonetheless, the plot kept me attached to the screen and didn't make me pause and do other stuff, which is usually what Naruto movies make me do.
The art is standard, but there's some A+ animation along with fight scenes from your favorite Konoha ninja and even come action cameos from the Kazekage himself. The 3rd Naruto Shippuden movie was by far my favorite and I encourage you all to take a gander at it whenever you can.
