Instead of Minato taking up the spotlight, we meet a new character named Sara. I wouldn't even consider him a main character. And what do I get? All together, Minato showed up in the movie for about 10 minutes. I wanted to see Minato and Naruto as the main focus of the movie. Into the past and meeting his dad and they would have a father-son sort of bonding (without knowing that they were related). It wasn't the worst Naruto movie I've seen, but it was the one that I was most excited about and that's what bothers me the most.įrom the trailer and the description, I thought for sure that this movie would be about Naruto going My copy was provided for review.After seeing the trailer for this movie nearly a year ago, I'll be honest and say I thought it looked really awesome! It seemed like a great idea for a Naruto movie! Now, I've seen the long awaited Naruto Movie 4 The Lost Tower, and I am, to say the least, very disappointed with it. Naurto Shippuden Movie 4: The Lost Tower is out on DVD and Blu-Ray in the UK on Monday the 3rd of March. Just switch your brain off, sit back and enjoy the super-powered ninja have at it. If you’re only half into Naruto but are in the mood an action based, feature length, animation then The Lost Tower also cuts it for you. Yes, okay, there are some spoiler hints but there is nothing a smart Naruto fan wouldn’t speculate on in terms of possible development in the early episodes anyway.

If you’re wondering about Naruto, debating whether this series might be your cup of tea or not then this might not be a terrible place to start. So, over all – Is the fourth Naruto Shippuden movie any good? Should you buy The Lost Tower? If you’re a Naruto fan then this is a no brainer. I do prefer it when it builds on the mythos, though. We don’t need to invent a ridiculous ninja type that’s somehow never been seen before to keep things interesting. That said I’m hundreds of episodes into the series and it’s now much better because of the plot and drama that’s started to unfold.Īt least with puppets as the bad guys and a puppet master as the arch villain there’s a bit of variety in the combat scenes. Most of the time I’m in the mood for Naruto that lack of story and action focus is just fine with. There’s a wrap-around of drama and story but it is wafer thing. Where do you go? This movie is one big long mission with most of the emphasis on the action. So, The Last Tower starts well with some good ninja action against puppets but it faces the challenge of what happens next. He’s a bad guy with promise too – as he’s found a lay line, a source of power that he can tap into and become incredibly powerful. Solve it and you’ll get to watch the Ultimate Rasengan in action. Given that a ninja who looks a lot like the Yellow Flash is on the front cover of the set you don’t need spoilers to work out who he gets involved with.Īh yes, there is the whole catch – how on Earth could Naurto possibly encounter the Yellow Flash? That is a mystery for the movie to unearth for you. Very quickly Naruto gets caught up the events which surround The Lost Tower. I say that Sai, Sakura and Yamato are there – but only for a while.

The timeframe isn’t clear but fairly safe provided you know who Sai is. This movie hit Japan in 2010 and made about $8m in the box office.

The start of the movie sees Yamato leading a mission to capture a puppet master called Mukade. It’s combat from the outset and it is designed to grab your attention. We don’t have some of the momentum issues that Naruto sometimes suffers from. Naurto Shippuden Movie 4: The Lost Tower Amazon
