Review of The Last: Naruto the Movie (2014) by Tristan T — 23 Feb 2018
Fans of the show who like the Naruto and Hinata pairing: this is the movie you've been waiting for! Sadly, for everyone else, and those who are new to the franchise, that's almost all of what this film has to offer.
The romance is handled very well and I got the sense that it was written almost as a love letter to those who supported it. Otherwise, the end-of-the-world plot is thin, clichéd at times, and overall silly, the other characters have relatively little to do other than comment on how the lovebirds are doing, Sasuke makes one random cameo appearance just for the sake of explaining why he is on the poster, and the villain is un-intimidating and is grating to listen to.
If the movie has any other strengths, it is in the visual department as the animation is above-average and is pleasing to look at. The score is ok at points as well, but contains re-used recordings from the anime series that, while used well, should have been more original.
NaruHina fans rejoice, everyone else could safely skip this one.
