Watch Free Naruto Shippuden The Movie

The first movie in the Shippuden world is one that’s decent but essentially plays like what has come before. The cast is kept small, they kill off a bunch of secondary characters quickly and the whole fate of the world rests in the balance of what Naruto will do when it comes to saving the young priestess. All in a days’ work for the orange clad ninja. With a good budget, I wish more had gone into crafting a compelling storyline but at least they got the visuals spot on and it was a fun ride to watch, though with more downtime than I expected there to be. This film doesn’t rock the boat in the slightest which is intentional and we get a big epic standalone story of no impact to the overall Naruto universe. So the Shippuden movie achieves what it set out to do by getting people to the theater to see lots of action with their favorite ninja. Viz did a decent job overall here but it’s not without its problems, most of which date to 1999 thinking and not 2009 thinking.
