Reviews
ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Subham Singh I believed "The Last" will be the last movie but they made another one,and its so emotional to see all the characters grown-up in live action with their kids.The end credit scene actually burst me out of laughter. Seeing how Boruto made Sasuke as the role model was expected at the end and I was so happy to listen that at the end of the movie
Mathew Boruto: Naruto the Movie was released in Australian theatres for a limited time thanks to Madman Entertainment's distribution. Written and supervised by Naruto series creator, Masashi Kishimoto, Boruto: Naruto the Movie follows (you guessed it) Boruto Uzumaki, the son of main series protagonist Naruto who is now Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village which has gotten some upgrades when it comes to technology. The main plot of the film is the broken father and son relationship between Boruto and Naruto, and thankfully, Kishimoto has written a touching story that'll have Naruto fans smiling in joy.There are A LOT of characters in this film, any character who you remember in the Naruto series is grown up now and most likely has a kid in this film. One character who particularly stands out in this film is Sasuke (who was mostly missing in the previous film The Last: Naruto the Movie) and it's great to see him. Sasuke is Boruto's teacher in this film and there's something very poetic about a character teaching the son of his rival, I don't know why but I find that really intriguing and fans will probably love the idea of that. Boruto himself is a surprisingly relatable character. He's a kid with daddy issues which is very common among children his age. I'd even go as far as saying that I like Boruto more than Naruto when he was a kid, he's a very likable character. All the other kid characters are pretty cool as well such as Sarada, Sasuke and Sakura's daughter. She's smart, feisty and very strict which is actually pretty funny to watch when her and Boruto are arguing with each other. Naruto himself is also pretty interesting to watch. It's really cool to see how much the role of Hokage can affect someone's life. You watch him in two perspectives, one is the Naruto you remember prior to the events of this film and the other is from Boruto's perspective where he's just seen as someone who has no time and love for his family. Both kind of clash and in the end there is a sweet resolution that can make Naruto fans shed tears of happiness. It's really nice to see the character portrayed how he is in this film.There is a glaringly poor character in this film and that's the villain. It is, yet again, someone trying to fulfill Kaguya's plan and is the most forgetful Naruto villain you can ever come across. He is uninteresting, tedious and a very big negative on the film. Even The Last: Naruto the Movie had a better villain, but hey, at least the villain wasn't befriended this time around.Animation wise, this movie is gorgeous. It is an absolute spectacle during its action scenes, Naruto has never looked this good. The climax especially is some of the best action and animation to ever grace this series, it will indeed give you chills purely because it looks so great. The Leaf village looks alive and colourful and it's cool seeing all this new tech and cities surrounding the area, although it is strange that the last time we saw this place it was just a village with barely any modern buildings and technology in it.The film's soundtrack could have been better, there are times where it tracks are out of place and the sound design of the film can be a bit too loud on the ears. The film's first half is also pretty slow because it tries to explain who these characters are, where everyone is at, how are people doing and what this terrible villain is up to. Also, the film wasn't as funny as I thought it was going to be. Some jokes didn't hit me and I found The Last to be a funnier movie overall.In the end, Boruto: Naruto the Movie is a great epilogue to a series with a huge fan base. It has incredible animation, great fights, cool characters and a touching father-son story. It's just a shame that the villain is, yet again, very uninteresting. Other than that, Naruto fans will be pleased that this send off is a great one.
Vina Melody This movie sums up the legacy of Naruto very well! I enjoy watching it from the first till the very last minute plus credits and the cliffhanger of Mitsuki's parent after that. Everyone was laughing on that!The plot and scenes are arranged beautifully that I feel no time is wasted. Graphics animations and music soundtrack also have amazing effects!Even if you don't read the Japanese manga or previous movie, you can tell that the essence of story about a boy who's longing for a father's acceptance but ended up overwhelmed by the fact that Boruto's father (Naruto) has overcame so much weaknesses that viewers should know how did he do that. On the sideline, we also see how Naruto's best friends like Sasuke, Shikamaru and the Gokages teaming up in ways we've never seen before as the new united generation. The scenes where Naruto and Sasuke fighting Kinshiki are awesome, beat my expectation!Movie is about 90% close to the novel which is excellent. Some scenes like Sakura & Temari, Chunnin Exams, flashback on Naruto learning Rasengan with Jiraiya, Neji's death really brings fond of memories of Naruto stories.The movie could've been a little better with deeper interaction between Naruto, Hinata and Himawari, as well as Konohamaru and Kakashi. I hope this is not the last from either Naruto or Boruto.
buzaiqizhong I thought that The Last was really the last disastrous blow to Naruto's downfall, yet this is even worse. The villain was with the ultimate eye power of the rinnegan, yet he couldn't sustain the tiny rasengan Bolt threw at him because he wasn't aware of it? Rinnegan was supposed to absorb ninjutsu AUTOMATICALLY, man! And from when did Bolt have the time-space ninjutsu, as he could transfer the rasengan to another space and make it appear again? From what I remember in the manga, only Kamui (Obito's sharingan power) could have done that, and Bolt didn't even have the sharingan, lol.The father-and-son tension was terrible too, Bolt was angry because his father was busy protecting the village? Most children have working parents who couldn't be home till evening too, not to mention Naruto seemed to send his clones home often, so that kind of tension is too forced and ridiculous. On the other hand, Naruto, who always craved for family and love and dreamed of become Hokage, behaved like he's bored the hell out of it with both his family and his job, feels like just being sold by Kishimoto to milk the series a bit longer.In short, if The Last destroyed all bonds Naruto treasured to forcefully insert an useless-but-with-boobs Hinata into his life, Boruto the movie successfully poops on the rest of the logic on ninjutsu and techniques that's been left on the series.
