Naruto ~The Last~ movie review
So now that I have done a full summary of the movie, I want to say what I think of the movie.
I was surprised that the audience was nearly all adults, many of whom girls. In fact, there were even a few old women in there. Wow. But yeah, I think most of the girls were crying towards the end. And when I say crying, I mean bawling.
Anyway…

****************************************:
-OK, so the thing I was surprised about more than anything was that the confession came from NARUTO. NARUTO! I was not expecting that. At all. But it was definitely a welcome surprise. I heard a huge gasp from the audience as soon as he did it, so I don’t think I was the only one either.
- As soon as that scene where Naruto sees Hinata’s memories happens… my God, the boy is like a love-smitten puppy. Like seriously. I loved this development that for once, for the first time, HE was the one doing the chasing. Not just at one point of the movie either. The. Whole. Way. Through.
It’s been rammed down our throats about how love-devoid a life Naruto has had. But in this movie you could really feel how deeply Hinata’s feelings had reached him. His feelings towards Sakura had felt shallow compared to this. His feelings and happiness at finding love in this movie were very, very deep. And the fact that we know how much Hinata likes Naruto, and therefore these feelings are reciprocated, really showed a deep bond between them. You could easily picture them living a happy life in the future, where he really adores her no matter how old they get. I never really shipped anyone in Naruto so wasn’t expecting the romance theme in this movie to get to me much. But it did. The feeling it gave you watching this story unfold was awesome.
- I REALLY liked Hinata in this movie. I’ve always liked Hinata as a character, along with the rest of team 8, but at times her pushover side did bother me. I thought that ESPECIALLY since this was gonna be a NaruHina movie, there would be a lot of Pushover!Hinata. I was pleasantly surprised to find this wasn’t the case
OK, sure. At the beginning she did chicken out of handing over the scarf, but considering she had confessed to him before and nothing came of it, I’ll let her off from that one. Not to mention Naruto had girls LITERALLY throwing themselves over him everywhere he went.
Actually on the mission though, she didn’t go into ‘Naruto-kun…’ ga-ga mode at all. He was following her, practically on heat, the whole time on the mission. Everywhere. EVERYWHERE. LIKE A PUPPY. They also flirted when talking. He kept stealing glances. He even CONFESSED. But instead of blushing bright red or fainting at this, she carried on with her mission seriously and went with Toneri just moments later. When she was at Toneri’s castle, she really did have her mission-head on, exploring the dangerous place on her own, looking out for her sister, trying to fulfill Hamura’s request on her own, and tried to destroy the weapon on her own too. She wasn’t relying on anybody. She was fully intending to go solo.
I think at one point of this movie she mentions about not wanting to follow behind Naruto forever, but wanting to get strong enough to stand beside him as his equal. She did this completely in this movie. In fact, Naruto was the one chasing HER. SHE was the one one step ahead, both in love and on the mission. Naruto just finished what she started on both these fronts. It was this strength from Hinata that made them coming together as a couple at the end so enjoyable.
I am SO proud of her.
***************************************
Art- The art ranged from beautiful to absolutely stunning in some places. Especially the scenery and action scenes. 10/10
Music - I was a bit confused about the random use of greensleaves at the beginning, but the music over all was really nice and in some places very emotive. The fact it left me with a good enough impression to think highly of it even now, considering I was focusing on trying to take in all the storyline details of the movie, says something for it.
******************
Ok those were the main points, now for the minor points:
- Hanabi. I always imagined Hanabi as being fairly serious considering how dedicated she is to her training, which was under her father. I imagined her being like her father, but softer. Especially after watching the anime special 2 days ago, which shows her as a very serious, determined and driven individual. However, this movie portrays her as being whinier and cheekier than this. In the movie BOOK it says that now she’s a teenager she’s into fashion and romance. And she has a pink kunoichi fashion charm attached to her Kunai. Who the hell needs that. This movie kinda ruined her image for me, and I’m so upset by that. Do not approve.
-Toneri. I liked Toneri as a villain. You kind of feel sorry for him, being stuck on the moon all on his own, barring his puppets. Naruto movie villains have always left a lot to be desired for me tbh, but for him I could take him seriously. I don’t really have much else to say about him, but he was enjoyable. Approve.
- Sai. Sai’s character design has had a lot of variety of quality over the years, but he was hot in this movie. His cheekiness is always welcome too. Approve.
-Sasuke. More Sasuke would have been nice. But tbh this didn’t bother me as much as it should, baring in mind I like Sasuke. I was really enjoying Hinata’s character development and the NaruHina moments, so this I actually didn’t miss sasuke too much. Neutral.
-Sakura. She seemed less annoying in this movie for some reason. I think it was because the focus was taken off her as the love interest for this movie? As a side character cheering on Hinata, she was actually surprisingly enjoyable. I think this actually brought out a good side of her character. Also, I can’t put my finger on it but she seems very happy and content with the way things are? We don’t see the usual violent Sakura beating Naruto in this movie, just the Sakura who might scold Naruto a little for not noticing things, but its for his benefit. Maybe she also feels more relaxed herself because she sorted things out with Sasuke in chapter 699. When she mentions him in the movie, she doesn’t sound pained at all as though she’s troubled by where she stands with him. She isn’t over the top fangirling over him either, so she just sounds content with things, and talks about her lovelife in a mature way. Approve.
-Shino. This won’t bother most people, but he was in it for 3 seconds. In the background. No lines. No close up. He is my favourite character *sobs*. OK, so Sasuke didn’t even get much screentime so I wasn’t asking for much, but would just one line hurt…? This goes for Kiba too, just btw. Do not approve.
-Bolt and Himawari. Freaking adorable. Especially Bolt’s -ttebasa. Can’t wait for the mini-series in spring. I love these kids. I want these kids. Where can I get a pair.
************************************************
I REALLY enjoyed this movie. Much more than I thought it would. I didn’t get bored at all. It felt like it had such DEPTH, and that’s not something I have felt before from a Naruto movie. There was so much depth to the characters (ok, so naruto and Hinata), which I have covered above. I thought I would be bothered by the side-lining of other characters for this ship-centric movie, but honestly I think it did such a good job at what it set out to achieve, I was satisfied. I think it tied up the series nicely, because this was the only thing left to happen (well, since we know Naruto becomes Hokage later).
I think the whole ‘Naruto not ending up with Sakura’, ‘what about Sasuke?’ bashings against this movie really never bothered me because NARUTO was SO damn happy to get with Hinata. SO happy. I was happy for him. I had nothing else to say. A happy Naruto makes a happy me. I was happy for the love-struck idiot. Bless him.
I don’t think this movie would make haters stop hating, but neutrals and NaruHina fans would love it. It is a very sweet and emotive movie. As for it getting the Shoujo treatment despite being a Shounen series, actually, I think there was a good balance. Some naruto movies have had hardly any action (Road to Ninja), some have been pretty much all fighting so its left the story a lot to be desired (Inheritors of the will of fire). You can’t do EVERYTHING and please EVERYBODY in one two-hour movie. In fairness to this movie, being the last, it had a lot to take on in terms of wrapping up the series, filling in the romance side, giving character development, having a good but meaningful one-off storyline AND providing action scenes.
If I would give this movie a rating, it would be 9/10.
-1 is for lack of Sasuke and the destruction that is Hanabi’s character.
Anyway, writing this review has made me want to watch again, so I’ll be off to the cinema again tomorrow!
