The problem a bunch of big fights have is that there is really no point to having a fight, no longer how long or flashy it is, unless the fight itself has feeling in, and meaning to it.
 

This right here is probably the BIGGEST problem I have with reviewers reviewing Boruto the movie. They give the movie high grades due to the animation and fight scenes, but without true meaning behind the fights they are pointless no matter how flashy or big they are.

I don't get how everyone can see this and say "Well, it can be Micheal Bay-ized all you want with the fights, but that doesn't mean it makes it a good anime or movie" while watching Bleach or Attack on Titan or any other anime that has these high adrenaline actions scenes, but when it comes to Boruto they are completely oblivious to the fact that all these fights scenes are either entirely pointless or have no merit to them whatsoever and praise the movie because "it looked good." After all the big and flashiness in Naruto at the end that was ridiculous and over the top, why does Boruto get a pass? A lot of other good ones don't. Heck, I have seen people criticize One Punch Man for "too big and pointless fight scenes," but give Boruto a pass....and this coming from some people who are massive Dragonball Z fans which that series became nothing more than big flashy fight scenes.

I think its partly due to nostalgia as to why big and flashy fights are given a pass to dragon ball and naruto due to many growing up with it, along with the obsession of wanting these characters to overpowered so they can say they can't beat anyone.

Though in truth I don't think over the top fights are the problem as long as the content behind them or if they have a sense of realism. Like aang vs Ozai as this was the fight hyped up thourghout the entire series of avatar as if aang can not stop ozai with the comet behind him the world is domed, or Naruto vs Pain as this fight was hyped up through jiraya's death and the clash of ideology to peace or or One punch man's saitama vs boros is just pure fun and the closest to seeing saitama in a proper fight.

You're right it is not the big flashy fights, but rather the fans themselves.

What the heck is wrong with anime fans lately?

[T XD]

Boruto got high grades ? I know it got low grades.

No, it got low grades, but one highlight they keep saying is how the fight scenes are amazing. I am like "I think they are boring."

See them fight and experienceing the fight are two different things like the nostalgia critic said about the fight between batman and superman in batman v superman wasn't that good. But steve vs Tony in civil war the movie was like any experience. Rwby has great fights better than naruto as does kill la kill and alot of kingdom Hearts and metal gear fights.
They're all hypocrites.
Also you have a hard time following what's going on in the fight in a bay movie.

We may never know, those fights can be done good if you know what you're doing and naruto does not know.

[VanitasDS76491]

I have to admit this made me laugh AND he has a point.
 
 

Nice video James that'd be my reaction to something that stupid.

[LuckyChi7]

SO this song is more dedicated to IchiRuki, but at the sametime I feel it's also towards NaruSaku in many ways! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Songs in english btw just with spanish subtitles.

They are the best couples in their series and my top 2 otp next to Natsu and Lucy and sora and kairi.

Wait boruto has a plot what new spore of madness is this.
It's just going to rehash things from naruto only done worse and little effort and heart put in to it. Oh am I kidding all the heart of this series died back in the war arc with the obito reveal.

Exactly.

Rinse and repeat.

[VanitasDS76491]

Exactly.
Rinse and repeat.

Something it's a soft reboot like force awakens only lazier, and dumber.

[Gravenimage]

Exactly.

Rinse and repeat.

 

Thought so Boruto is really Naruto 2.0 but a worse version of the original.

I am SO relieved that there are still people outside of this site who see pass this rehashed bs. He's right, there is no point for this series when everything was more or less concluded in Naruto, no matter how disgraceful and half-baked it was. They're just gonna throw around a couple of pointless villains with sappy backstories to stir up unnecessary trouble and drama. And the sad thing is that fans supporting this will clap along with it; because it'll only take well drawn, loud & glitzy scenes to pull them in, no questions asked. They'll eat up this kitten and pretend it's good too. This, is a prime example of a cash grab.

[Derock]

My co-workers were discussing about Boruto and the series, saying "All its so cool, very interesting, etc, etc..."

 

Me: I just tuned them out and jumped in later when we're talking about other anime as I was watching Sonic Boom on YouTube!

If they ever bring Boruto again just bring even better anime series because there are THOUSANDS way better than Burrito.

Oh we did talk about other anime.I just don't want them to say my "two cents" because they will try to say their two cents of giving it a chance despite not seeing that the franchise is not that good anymore. Hell, Dragon Ball Super is tons more better than this BS cash cow and I'm so excited and hyped while watching the Universal Survival Arc.

Rinse and repeat as much part one Naruto points as possible while putting all your hopes on people being completely blinded by nostalgia.

One of the big reasons Dragon Ball has lasted so long into Super, despite being so much of the same general thing (over-the-top, flashy fighting), is largely because it doesn't try to make itself out to be way more than what it actually is. It didn't go from big fights and saving the world / universe from Frieza / Cell / Buu to suddenly trying to be all philosophical, preachy, etc. to the readers / viewers like Naruto did, and got way worse at. Naruto started out okay, but then kept trying to paint itself as so much more by throwing in so many different and unnecessary things that it couldn't keep itself straight or consistent anymore.
