I finally got around to watching it. While the movie did have some glaring flaws that jarred an otherwise smooth experience, I'd have to agree with the rest of you that it was definitely the best Naruto movie yet.
Let's see if the next one can top this with even more NaruSaku hints.
The ending song girl appeared to be Hinata at first glace, but on close examination I don't really think its her.
Anyway, the episodes were excellent (although they did have plenty of estrogen bait ) and Naruto's character came off well. The gutsy ninja portion as well as the sage training and decryption (lol @ Kakashi's discomfort) were handled with a good air of both the sadness about Jiraya's death as well as the "hope for the future" theme that was running concurrently.
It's a long ways to catch up though. I look forward to the Pain fight like all of you!
Hmm, I wonder: has Sakura directly taken a human life before? I don't think so, but correct me on that if I'm mistaken.
Well, I do have mixed feelings about the chapter. I know, it's great and all that this is probably the conclusive blow to any chance SS had (not that I think those odds were great in the first place), but I'm feeling rather sorry for Sakura. I believe she could have thought of a better plan, and now she has been pushed back to the sidelines again.
I'm pretty sure Madara will butt in soon. Sasuke cannot handle Naruto and Kakashi working together. My bets are that this will be a short fight. I doubt Kakashi will die right after being resurrected.
