Naruto Shippûden: Lazos

I looked forward to the first two Naruto movies when the series was still fresh to me but now, the movies seem like a string of fillers with a bigger budget, with largely unremarkable stories and always a preachy moral. Typically, the only scenes I enjoy in the movies are when more of Konoha's cast of shinobis are used in battle. Honestly, the show might be named "Naruto" but enough of him already. Enough of the unrequited bromance between him and Sasuke too. And I would like to see the women be more useful. On the rare occasion they get to kick butt, they're not even good at it.

Hmm, this has turned into a QQ post about the Naruto series. I don't have much else to say about the movie though. The Leaf Village gets attacked and we do get to see some of its defenders do their thing, but those scenes are woefully sparse and short. Mostly, it's more of Naruto's emo-ness and life lessons. Zzz. They really need to learn from Pixar and adult up their stories a bit....

Lame generic villain..no depth in character + Weak plot close to no more than a filler, no complexity, no twists...way too predictable you just know that Naruto is gonna win because he's Naruto..no tension the movie fails to keep me hooked and invested in the action.

This one is not as good to watch it. Trust me, you will waste time. What I expected from this Movie as of Naruto, it doesn't give it and I literally wasted my Time. I like Naruto but this movie is not good whether it is pacing, plots, storyline, Action. All it did was focused on some fights and its scenes like hell we want this without a good story it's not OK for me atleast. Any anime guy would agree Here without a story it sucks and this is what Naruto is doing right now and Boruto literally sucks man. I liked Naruto once but other anime are getting it's place in my top anime List. Too bad..

Although the writing for Naruto movies aren't usually the best, this one had some interesting turns. I thought Sasuke would take center stage in much of the action since he was smoldering and shirtless in one of the opening sequences. However, Naruto surprised me by pulling off some amazing stunts throughout the narrative. I'll stop there because there isn't much plot that the synopsis omitted.

Oh, the characters. Looks like we have less emo Sasuke, Sakura and Hinata as the fanservice objects and backups that are still useless in battle, cameos from Kakashi as the voice-over narrator, and Orochimaru as the bedridden grandmother (Sai, Neji, Shino, and Shikamaru play cameos of themselves). There's also the movie-only character Doctor and his apprentice Amaru, who gets to be the one befriended by Naruto (sad Amaru).
