Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

billyrosehag Naruto as a whole has a very special place in my heart. Having followed it and the incredible journey that both Naruto and the rest of the cast has made during the last 15 years has for the most part one filled to the brim with joy, anger and tears. Sure, the quite large amount of fillers that has plagued the series has quenched my thirst for more Naruto from time to time, but when the filler arcs reached their end and the canon episodes began once again, never did I not feel the urge rush right back. I have watched him and the rest of the ensemble grow up right along myself and my non-anime, actual real friends. That sort of commitment will undoubtedly create some sort of bond. Conflicts has sprung to life and ended, sometimes they ended up happily and sometimes the didn't. At the center of all conflicts, the main event, the main plot has although pretty much remained the same for the duration of the series, I am of course referring to the rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke. When Shippuden reached its end, that feud finally came to a close and in a quite beautifully way if you ask me. And although most other plots was resolved by that time, one still remained. The unspoken love that Hinata felt for Naruto. That is was this movie is about, to at last see this subject come to fruising. As the Title suggests, this movie marks the last chapter of Naruto's journey as the main character, it is also the first of the Naruto movies considered to be Canon which is about time if you ask me. Come to think of it, The title is in my mind a pretty stupid title. I would much more prefer it if the changed it to "At last" instead, since it carries a lot of "at last" moments.In many ways, this is more of a romantic movie than a action oriented one. Sure there are fighting sequences spread out across the two hour duration, there is a villain, but sadly he was profoundly underdeveloped and his motivations were nearly as bad The Thousand Years of pain technique is strangely effective. But all that stuff is just a backdrop for the main focus, which is without a doubt the love between Naruto and Hinata. However, the way it plays out differs for the two characters. For Hinata, it's all about finally mustering the courage to tell Naruto how she truly feels while Naruto comes to the realization about Hinata's feelings and therefore needs to evaluate how he in turn feels towards her. These sections of the movie is when it shines the brightest while the actual conflict remains quite generic, stuffed with anime tropes. Since it shifts focus in regards to the other movies, At Last has a different tone. It has a more dream-like feel to it, almost surrealistic, striving more to visualize how Naruto and Hinata perceive the world as they contemplate their emotions towards one another. As you might imagine, this gives the movie a slower and gentler pace compared to both most of the series and the rest of the movies. It is for the most part refreshing to behold, but sometimes these moments outstay their welcome and as such, invite restlessness and boredom. It would have been easy to make Naruto react in his often childish ways, but I am glad to say that they have allowed him to process these emotions and revelations in a mature way while still retaining what makes Naruto Naruto. The growth that he goes through is done in a very convincing and satisfying way and is definitely the highlight of the film. Another aspect that I liked but that also exposed one of the movie's biggest faults was the fact that the movie almost gives Hinata as much screen time as Naruto. I would like to change the title a tad more and instead call it Naruto and Hinata: At last, which is good as a romance is very seldom a one way street. This does however lead me to my biggest BUT. Giving Hinata more screen time is a great move, but it is not utilized in a good way. Hinata's greatest moment in the series is easily when she leaps to Naruto's rescue mere seconds before he would meet his demise at the hands of one of Naruto's greatest villains, Pain. At that moment she stops being her usual scared self. She stands proud and is certain of what she must do. Her words and actions does not carry even an ounce of insecurity. In short, she's badass. This movie presents a great opportunity to show of more of that badassness. To show us how Naruto comes to see her, as this incredibly strong and selfless person who is willing to sacrifice all for the one's she cares about. regrettably, none of that comes to pass. She remains a damsel in distress from beginning to end, incapable to do anything but wait for Naruto to come to her rescue. If not for this rather important factor, this movie could have been so much more. If Hinata instead got to show her true strength, if it let her save Naruto instead, Naruto and Hinata: At last would have been great instead of just good.I watched both this and Boruto: The Naruto Movie last night, beginning with this one, and as the credits rolled began to roll I came to the conclusion that this was the best Naruto movie I had seen thus far. The Animations were top-notch, the music both grand and befitting. This movie marks the end of and era and the birth of a new, hopefully the next generation of stories that unfold in the Hidden Leaf village understand that Damsel in distress is a thing of the past.

kellicros This is the ending act of the Naruto Shippuden, it was released in 2014 because the manga's ended in 2014, whiles the anime series ended in 2017. Although it doesn't spoil the actual story of the anime/manga series, it starts off right after climax at the end of the Fourth Ninja War, so be wary if you're still in the middle of the series, I highly recommend watching this after the said events.The film is mainly about the romance between Naruto and Hinata, with plenty of actions faithful to the original story, the good thing is, it feels like a canon rather than a filler which is rare for side stories like this. If you have been following the Naruto's story, you should know that Hinata's love was never answered and it almost seem one sided, how the series ended with Naruto getting married almost made no sense. This movie filled the gap and had all the questions answered.To sum it up, it's a great story, with plenty of actions and a lot of fan services. However, it may not be a film to watch for people who have never read or watched Naruto because it is what it is, an expanded ending act and the fans should not be disappointed.

rollins-19092 20:06 - *Hinata hangs by a scarf off a building so she won't slide down the side and plummet to her doom*YOU'RE A NINJA!!! USE YOUR CHAKRA TO ATTACH TO THE WALL!!!! THAT'S SOME 1ST ARC LEVEL STUFF FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!41:15 - *Naruto falls down some stairs, hurts his back, and asks Hinata to apply some salve to a spot he can't reach*YOU'RE A NINJA!!!! USE A SHADOW CLONE JUTSU LIKE YOU DID IN EVERY EPISODE EVER OF THE SHOW EVER AND APPLY THE LOTION YOUR DAMN SELF!!!!!57:30 - *Throwaway movie villain narrates he's grand plan on how / why he plans to destroy the world and how it somehow ties into the main plotI'm sorry. We're halfway through this feature film and I'm hearing the villains monologue and the only thing I can think is, "Why didn't they use Orochimaru for this?!? SASUKE LITERALLY BROUGHT THE MEGATRON-LEVEL-ARCHNEMISIS OF THE SERIES BACK TO LIFE AND LEFT HIM JUST WALKING AROUND AT THE END OF THE MANGA. LIKE DID WE FORGET THAT HE'S BASICALLY A NINJA NAZI SCIENTIST WHO DOES EXPERIMENTS ON PEOPLE?!?!?! THEY HAD TO USE THIS NO NAME YUTZ FOR THE VILLAIN OF THE FINAL INSTALLMENT OF THE SERIES AND NOT THE CLASSIC VILLAIN WHO WAS LITERALLY ALIVE AGAIN ALREADY?!?!?! I MEAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD AT LEAST DIGIMON KNEW TO BRING OUT MIYOTISMON AS A CROWD PLEASER!!!"1:50 *Naruto and Hinata finally kiss after 8 years of reading this damn comic*"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW.... this is the greatest movie of all time ;u;"So yeah, I can understand why this material wasn't in the comic. Naruto's primary focus in terms of theme was one of getting stronger, rivalry, fighting evil, and rising to your dreams (ya know, like every other shonen ever). Maybe a story in the time skip detailing how Naruto and Hinata actually did end up together could have been done well, but this movie certainly isn't it. The writing in this thing is Fanfiction level in quality. Not bad fanfiction... more like the fanfiction level of a high schooler who could write at a good level if they kept at it for 10 years and maybe switched over to public domain characters. But fanfiction. The romance is so sappy my DVD player was leaking maple syrup. The action is gigantic in scale and beautifully animated, but boring and predictable in everything that happens. It even forgets its own universes established rules and consistencies in the battle system (i.e. not using chakra to stick to those DAMN WALLS HINATA C'MON). But...I have been shipping these two guys since the Chunin exam arc and seeing this film and those two get married and have little ninja babies warmed by bitter old heart. 10/10 best film ever should have won the Oscar for best feature film. Screw you Pixar.

uzumakinaruto-60687 This is the first screenplay by Masashi Kishimoto the writer of Naruto Manga. The movie is about how Naruto Uzumaki finally falls in love with Hinata Hyuuga and at the same time realizes how much Hinata has loved him ever since they were small kids. The movie shows the deep bond the two share and is among the finest anime movies of all time. For Naruto fans the movie is an amazing experience which is filled with great action sequences featuring Naruto in Kurama Mode fighting Toneri, Naruto defending Hinata from being kidnapped and many more. There are a few funny moments as well but the movie is basically a love story that most fans had been waiting to watch. The soundtracks in the movie are truly beautiful. For those who haven't followed Naruto in the past, there are a few things that they may not understand but the movie is still quite enjoyable. For hardcore Naruto fans this movie is bound to leave them emotional(some with tears) and wanting more. I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did.
