It hasn't even been five days since I saw this movie and I forgot what it was about. It hasn't been five minutes since I read this review and I forgot what the movie was about.

Isn't there some sort of unwritten rule that you can't use your most powerful attack(nine tails is more of a booster than a attack) every other episode and in movies that are basically filler? Naruto always seems to disregard it to the point where you get tired of seeing rasengan.

The special features look nice though. I wonder what is more worth your money the movie or the extras?

I wonder how many people are going to disagree with Carl's opinion on the dub. I imagine a troll or two are going to pop up!

I had this movie on the T.V. when CN aired it, but unfortunately I had to leave so I missed it. Darn.

Well I thought the dub was better than ever for Naruto.

I thought this movie was nowhere near as fun as the first one. And I totally remember the first one.

Ugh, this movie made me laugh, seriously I did not like it. The first one was loads of fun, and I love it, but the second one was awful in my opinion.

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but I don't think I'd even pick the DVD up. Naruto and Sakura, themselves, annoy me. So this movie is basically only about those two and Shikamaru (most like many Naruto episodes, but Sasuke some times takes over).

I stopped watching Naruto movies after I watched this one.

Yeah a movie about naruto and sakura not appealing to many people. Which is funny considering it's the main character and his most likely love interest but a lot of fans would rather see episodes and movies about supporting characters. Not only that but the movie was boring.

What made me really happy about the movie was that they included the original ending theme. Ding Dong Dang! is one of my favorite themes, so when I saw the credits playing during the episode that followed (yay for DVR and CN), I practically squealed and started to sing along. Anime hyper It made me extremely happy to see at least one part of the anime have its original ending theme, and it gives me a little bit of hope that the third movie will have Tsubomi.

Yeah my mom and I both said it was quite boring when it was on Saturday. It was like one long filler episode...and the fillers suck IMO(can't wait for Shippuden!)

I thought the dub was good though, but I have always thought the dub for Naruto was good so...I never really noticed it.

Not really a movie I would watch again, the first one was better IMO

My Naruto-crazed cousin made me watch it with her.....ugh.

Naruto and Sakura were just their same old boring selves. Kanky and Gaara didn't really do much, I don't get why they even bothered having them there. They made it sound all 'EPIC SAND NINJAS IN SAND LAND WITH SAND PEOPLE LOLOL!!!11!' but imo, it was once again, just all about Naruto and his lame little adventure to save the world and what-not.

I can't even remember anybody's names or there being a plot, now that I think about it. o__o

Meh, I think that this movie was decent. Not as good as the first one, but like Carl mentioned in his review, there's only so much the writers are allowed to do with the material.

On the other hand, the dub is excellent as always. Very Happy The main reason I'll be picking up the DVD is see all the extras.

I'll pick this up, it was a decent watch, not as good as movie 1, but still. Movie 3, I'll just pretend that never happened.

And the first Shippuden movie will be worth owning for the after-credits scene alone. Wink

Frankly, I've never heard of that rule, nor have I seen it implied. Have you seen DBZ ? They have someone pulling out a ace move in every episode.

And you should stop watching Naruto if you feel rasengan is boring to see. It's about as good as it gets in the manga so far.

Anime hyper I love it after the credits. Naruto never disappoints in giving us a final laugh before the screen goes black.
