Anime Review: Naruto the Movie 2

Review of Naruto Movie 2: Daigekitotsu! Maboroshi no Chitei Iseki Dattebayo!!

Sorry but I haven't got the time to write a proper review!

Plot:
The Sand country is attacked by an assault fortress led by a megalomaniac looking for pieces of an ancient artifact to gain supreme power in order to create a "utopia". Meanwhile, Naruto and team encounters someone from the fortress.

Dislikes:

• The plot is nothing special and is predictable.
• The movie is set post Sasuke's betrayal, so he is absent and is sorely missed.
• The movie is more like an extended TV episode

Likes:

• The enemies are cool. Designs for the enemies are probably inspired by European knights. They come complete with armour, shield and sword. Ninjas vs knights = cool.
• The fighting scenes are definitely something to behold. Truly amazing animation as is typical with the Naruto series.
• The movie assumes the viewers are familiar with the Naruto universe and non of the regular characters are explained.

Overall Rating: 3.5/5. Great animation, but the plot is nothing interesting and the movie is more like an extended TV episode (which is not necessarily a bad thing). However, anything Naruto is unmissable for fans and here's one hoping for more movies in the future.
