Sixteen years ago, a mysterious masked ninja unleashes a powerful creature known as the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox on the Hidden Leaf Village Konoha, killing many people. In response, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina Uzumaki, the Demon Fox's living prison or Jinchūriki, manage to seal the creature inside their newborn son Naruto Uzumaki. With the Tailed Beast sealed, things continued as normal. However, in the present day, peace ended when a group of ninja called the Akatsuki attack Konoha under the guidance of Tobi, the mysterious masked man behind Fox's rampage years ago who intends on executing his plan to rule the world by shrouding it in illusions.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I managed to conclude Anime Month with one of the best films I've seen all month, none other than a "Naruto" movie. I feel bad for not watching the "Naruto" anime later, but I did manage to read the whole manga so I know everything that's going on. It was so great to see these classic characters in animated form again. As a huge Naruto fan, this was wonderful! Even the opening is very strong, showing us Naruto's origin! We don't see all of it, but later in the film we do get to see the whole thing. The plot's pretty simple, with Naruto and Sakura being trapped in another world by Tobi (whom everyone thought was Madara at this time).As the series went through so many changes, it was interesting to see when this took place. Apparently, it's when all the Akatsuki are dead except Tobi and Zetsu and before Kabuto resurrected them. You have to just laugh at seeing the alternate versions of all the characters, especially Hinata. My only complaint was that she only appears for a few scenes and she's my favorite character! It's still satisfying to see her threaten Sakura and even mock her for her small chest. Dang, why couldn't this movie have used her more? It's also really funny to see Tsunade and Shizune having switched cleavages! At first, Sakura is happy about this place and Naruto isn't, but their opinions are reversed when Naruto is happy to finally live some kind of life with his parents who died the day he was born. I love how everyone is aware of who Naruto's parents are in this movie. There's no reason to keep it a secret any longer. We get some great bonding with Naruto and Sakura. I had no idea that the character's name was pronounced "Mada-ra". I thought it was "Ma-dare-a". That's what I get for being an avid reader! This is the first time I saw Tobi in action in the anime.At first, I thought that the masked villain was going to turn out to be Iruka. As he was actually being unmasked, I thought it was Sasuke! I finally figured out it was an alternate version of Naruto. I did not see that twist coming at all and was glad to be surprised! Although this wasn't based on anything in the manga, it was awesome to see these characters come to life. Well, that does it for Anime Month. I saw so many wonderful films, but you'll have to wish me luck now. I'm now taking on all those awful video game movies! Pray for me! ****

This is one of the better Naruto movies. It is lacking on the action but has a solid story. I just wish the final confrontation was a little longer. It is still a Naruto movie, which means it is 100% filler but whatever, it is a fun watch just to see all your favorite characters acting differently. The p!ssed off version of Hanata is worth the price of admission. I should correct myself, Baruto is cannon. Naruto The Last Movie is filler. This film is filler but it is entertaining so whatever. I think the best thing about this film is seeing Naruto interact with his parents. Maybe that is by this film has such a cult following among Naruto fans. I haven't seen all of the Naruto films but I'm sure this is one of the best.

Although I have watched this movie last year, I can't help share my thoughts on how awesome this movie is. This is by far the best among the Naruto movies. For fans of the series, like me, this is the ultimate treat. With great action sequences, plot, new takes on the characters, and some big emotional kick, this movie has it all. For the newcomers, it's just easy to catch up with the happenings. Or if you still couldn't catch up, just ask a friend who's a fan of the anime and he'll easily fill you in. I'm 18 now but I still can't stop myself from having teary eyes over this movie and that's the reason why I really loved Road to Ninja and the whole series itself.

First off,this movie is incredible. From the fights,the occasional comedy to the overall story, it's a masterpiece. Considering it's from the creator of the entire series anything less is unaccepted. I'll try to omit spoilers in this summary. The movie is an original story from the world of Naruto,where Naruto and his friend Sakura are transported to an alternate reality by Madara Uchiha,where everyone they know's personality is reversed or changed. Now,Naruto and Sakura have to find a way to get out of this reality before they're stuck forever. The uniqueness of this movie to all the other Naruto movies is that for fans who've followed the series since it's conception,we get to see what Naruto truly desires which is his parents who died while trying to seal the nine tails demon that's inside him albeit to save the village in the process. We also see what it would've been like if Sakura had lost her parents instead of Naruto. All in all,if you've never seen this series and can't deal with having to see it from the beginning or wanna see why it's so popular,this is it.(though I do recommend you see it with someone who can sorta fill you in) Also for those who have been long time fans of the series,you owe it to yourself to watch it. The action scenes are great,the story feels like it could've been ripped straight from one of the comic's volumes and it's just the best Naruto movie ever.
