The whole concept of the “Will of Fire” just totally flew over my head. The animation during fight sequences are smooth as to be expected. Large group battles take place which makes things hectic, and in the fray, underrepresented characters are given a chance to shine.
NARUTO MOVIE 3 INHERITORS OF THE WILL OF FIRE MOVIE
Luckily, there is a plethora of action as the movie uses many of the cast to tag along and aid in the mission. Story aside, the only other reason anyone would watch this movie are for the fights. Naruto does manage to squeeze in a thoughtful line or two, mainly about Konoha’s decisions about Kakashi. You’ll either be slightly annoyed after the sixth time he brings it up or pulling your hair out as I was. Friends first, right? Everything Naruto does is based on this always on the prowl to bust it out for anyone that questions his actions. Naruto is relentless in beating the theme of the movie into you over and over. Hiruko’s underlying intentions were sincere the execution just got twisted along the way.

Hiruko comes off that way himself for most of movie, but after all the back-story was revealed and its small connection to the Naruto lore established, I came away happy with his character development. In most of these stand alone movies, the villain is simply an afterthought, without any real connection to the series, and just there for the good guys to beat on. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be confused by this androgynous child’s sex for half the movie. Of course, it’s up to our spiky yellow-haired hero to set things right and rescue Kakashi in the process who is in a bind himself.Īs expected, the story begins at a snail’s pace before anything of real interest happens though a brief battle starts off to introduce the main villain and his BSDM loving underlings. Worse yet, Hiruko has that oh so overused “I get to copy your techniques because we the writers can’t come up with anything original” power. Bad guy Hiruko plays the bad guy role by threatening the very balance of the ninja world by doing the usual bad guy type of things.
