The new naruto movie

I am a huge fan of the naruto anime and was pleasantly surprised to find a new movie while looking for the latest shipuuden episodes. I downloaded it overnight with my dataone connection and was glad to see it done , in addition to the latest LOST episodes :D... nice weekend its gonna be .

The movie was awesome simply put. Some of the good things about this movie....
- I was sad when they showed Naruto dying right in the beginning, it looked like naruto makers had switched to the LOST style of narration showing tragedy and then working towards how it happened. But I am really really glad to say that at the end of the movie , he does nt die!
- The scale of the enemies is huge, bigger than the ones earlier, and there are a some similarities to "Lord of the rings", "minority report", and if you look many other popular media. For naruto fans it makes no difference, at least for me it doesnt!
- Naruto is easily the star of the show, with his stupidity, then his moving speeches and his crazy promises which he somehow manages to keep up! Remember Gaara coming back to life, and the Princess in the first movie? One promise which is pending though is getting back Sasuke .
- Theres a new combo Rasengan move which is an awesome way to end !
- Love interest? Sakura aside, girls seem to like naruto , especially the stubborn ones who then start trusting naruto because of his peculiarly attractive personality.
- Rock lee has got a good fight, could have been better though, the fight in movie 3 was awesome . Was wondering why he didnt take off his weights and kick the enemy's ass!

A nice break from watching very little story progress in the shipuuden series... highly recommended for naruto fans and newbies as well... also watch the other movies , all on dattebayo!

dattebayo!
