Naruto Shippuden, le film : The Lost Tower

If I were a kid back then, I would have been overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery of Rouran, I would have been moved by the reunion of father and son, I would have been excited by the action scenes, and I would have a crush on Princess Sara. But, I was no longer a kid. I saw a bland villain with the nothing new purpose of world domination. I saw a story that started with high expectations, smooth visual but continued to be full of mediocrity and lack of excitement. I saw a group of characters with nothing special, no matter what their personalities were at the beginning, they ended up the same. I saw absurdities like how Minato knew his son's name before he picked that from his sensei's book. And how a ninja could be punched and kicked repeatedly by a giant robot and still ok. And Sai's bird is still flying in the sky throughout the story that takes place in the past, that is, in the present, time has barely passed. Yet Sara's daughter with her escort can appear immediately. The theme of returning to the past is not new but has potential. Unfortunately, the story is not convincing. The ending song is my favorite highlight.
