The Last: Naruto the Movie [Blu-ray/DVD] [2014]

Two years have passed since the fated battle between Naruto and Sasuke in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. A comfortable peace has fallen over the village and the winter festival approaches with a bit more excitement than usual. Seasons of war have transformed Naruto and his friends into elite young warriors, but now they grow into the adults they were meant to be, forming bonds beyond friendship. Naruto and Hinata approach this next stage with trepidation and find their progress stalled when a mysterious and dangerous man appears with a disturbing message: the end of the world is upon them. Once again Naruto and his friends are sent to investigate and stop the impossible: a falling moon! What is the tragic fate that connects this disaster with Hinata's Hyuga Clan? And to what lengths will Naruto go to speak the words that will change his life? The Last is the final story of Naruto as you knew him, the hero who was once an outcast, and the first chapter of the bond that will define his future.

Most Naruto movies are more stand alone this though is a sequel set after the end of the series, and it's a very good one I think so anyways. The artwork while very pretty did take a moment to get use to and the fight fight scenes look much better in the original style but the story was mostly cute so I found it fitting. So what it boils down to is that I watched it for the after story and the romance that I knew it was going to have I wasn't disappointed, but if you'd like something with more action and better fights this isn't the best Naruto movie for you, though I think you should give it a try anyways.

Story is formulaic as many of the Naruto movies are (new big bad evil guy that is only ever mentioned in this film and the characters are the only ones available to stop him even though it's apparently the end of days if they fail) with a romantic subplot that feels shoehorned in. it's worth a watch but not a second viewing. the 4 page manga booklet that comes with the blu-ray edition is amusing enough but not really worth purchasing unless on sale.

This is a great movie. Unlike typical Naruto movies which is more of a bunch of battles after battles after battles, this one feels alot more heartfelt. In some ways, this is more of a romance/drama than an action flick...which some viewers may find surprising. Anyways, being a longtime fan of the series (and whose favorite characters happens to be Hinata), this movie really maxed out fan service for me. (note: fan service in this context is not referring to breast or panty shots)

This is a great movie if you've followed the Naruto story all the way up to its current point. This story serves as the finale to the Shippuden storyline and is more of a romance tale of Naruto and Hinata. With that said, there isn't that much action. But when they do fight, the animation is incredible! I definitely recommend this one for fans!!

Essentially the movie showcases Naruto and Hinata's childhood to adult love story. Shinobi conflicts and endeavors to save earth is almost secondary. Familiarity with the characters definitely helps in following the plot. Romance and fights are well staged and rendered. Blu ray 's video and audio are excellent. Recommended to fans of Naruto. Casual viewers may enjoy the movie too if they can overlook the movie's series arc.

I am a late-comer to the Naruto series, as I thought "Nothing can compare to DBZ (Smirk)! I must say, Naruto is a long and well-scripted series, and The Last: Naruto The Movie is the icing on the cake. To not give away any spoilers, this movie does close solidify one of the long-running "connections" that everyone knows, except Naruto. Glad to have watched it, and will watch it again and again.

This movie was great, I kept always wondering when will this silly kid realize that he has the perfect girl right in front of him and this movie delivered me from that. Yes it has all of the fighting and mission filled action like the anime but the best part of this movie is for us to see Naruto finally step up to the plate and realize he's in love.
