Okay so the BS doesn't actually really start until around the 5 minute mark. Until then it's just Star Wars meets Final Fantasy.
I really enjoyed watching Sakura and Sai work together. If anything SaiSaku should have been canon. Sai may be a Sasuke look-alike, but at least he's not an a**hole, plus him and Sakura actually has a pretty good bond. Anyways, the scene with Sakura punching all those puppets was cool, if a little short.
Then there's the scene with Sasuke. Is this his only apperance in the film? If so, then wow. I can fully understand why the japanese fans feel cheated. Sasuke is just like "Oh hey guys what's going on? Oh is that a meteor?" BAM!! "Well, see ya!".
And lol @ Toneri trying to feed Hinata that cookie. Like what is that even supposed to symbolise? Hasn't Hinata already been brainwashed? Don't they have any kittening restraint at SP headquarters?
But yeah, even though this was recorded with a camcorder, this movie really does seem to have some outstanding production qualities. Too bad that the story, the characters and the canon had to be sacrificed on the altar of NH. In the end, it's all style and no substance. No thanks. Next!
Also, the NS rescue scene was easily the best part. Too bad they didn't take more inspiration from that scene.
