Surprising - I think that may just be because some of them see it as platonic in nature, making it just a showing of Naruto and Sakura's friendship (which quite a few NH and SS fans say that they enjoy).
If there are positive comments acknowledging the romantic/intimate aspect of it though, that's something else
Not gonna lie, I wanted a blush and was expecting it. Now I'm a bit confused, b/c I thought the users who had seen the movie said that Sakura blushed in this scene?
Of course, its possible that she blushes after this, since its just one screenshot and not the entire scene, but I'd really appreciate if that could be cleared up for me.
The save scene was pretty much everything I was expecting given the fan arts that have been circulating of the scene, only its so much better to see the actual thing
Not quite sure what your getting at, but...
Sakura initially lost her faith in Sasuke's redemption after VOTE at the end of part one, where Sakura tells Naruto that its alright that he didn't manage to bring back Sasuke. Naruto subsequently restores her faith, causing her to promise to help him next time, and leading to her requesting for training from Tsunade.
Sakura lost her faith in Sasuke's redemption again after what the Kumo nin, Sai, and Shikamaru told her, and again, Naruto restored her faith in Sasuke's ability to be redeemed at the summit after his confrontation with him.
What the love letter nin initiated was a change in Sakura's romantic feelings for Sasuke, not just as a former part of Team 7 or her friend (recall Sakura's faith at the summit was that Team 7 would be together again, nothing to do with her romantic feelings for him). Because of the comment made by a completely neutral and oblivious outsider ("He must be a great guy if you love him") Sakura showed that she doesn't think Sasuke is a great guy anymore, and she looked ashamed of having feelings for him. It definitely didn't say anything positive about Sakura's romantic feelings for Sasuke, and she is now the only person with a canonically negative view of her love interest.
