I have watched all the previous Naruto movies (and most of the ones after
this one) and I rate this movie very highly, due to the epic fight scenes and
great appearances of all the Leaf Ninja from Naruto's genin year. This movie
also has a much better storyline (in terms of consistency and substance) than
the first two Shippuden movies, following the defection of Kakashi from the
village and Naruto's bid to stop Kakashi from leaving.
The best part I liked about this movie is the fight sequence between Naruto
and Gaara (yes they finally fight again) which to me made the whole movie.
Overall this movie was a great step up from “The Movie” and “Bonds” and
I cannot wait for the next movie to be released in English. The Fourth Hokage
makes an appearance in that one.
