He was a trouble-maker, just like Naruto. He even had a certain phrase, just like Naruto. Near the end of the movie he went through character development Your rude, sarcastic attitude isn't needed here Not really, especially when they are both different when it comes to those situations. Even Sarada noted that Boruto barely smiles at all, unless he is with his family. Just because they both tend to be loud, and so forth, doesn't mean much, especially in the long term for their personalities.

Team 7 in general never worked as a team early on (Bell test), but Naruto himself never disregarded it. He always believed in his team mates, and his feat against Zabuza in which he created a plan to break out Kakashi with Sasuke's help says enough. The only person who disregarded it in general was Sasuke. And no, Boruto doesn't barge anywhere. Naruto quickly moved in situations before he was told to go, in example when he was ready to fight Kakashi he immediately started moving before Kakashi gave the signal.

Boruto on the other hand when dealing with Sasuke, ran away because Sasuke had hurt his pride by saying that his Rasengan was small, which made the kid believe that he failed. It was a difficult situation because he was considered a talented kid, and he had worked hours on trying to learn this technique, and when he believed his efforts would be appreciated, Sasuke noted that it wasn't sup-bar from the size category.

See? Having similar traits doesn't make them identical, especially when they both act differently in the long run.

Boruto isn't like Naruto that much I mean he looks a lot like Naruto and they can both do some of the same Jutsu but that's about it. Unlike Naruto Boruto doesn't want to become Hokage and Boruto isn't a Junchurike. Sarada is interesting because in some ways she has taken things from both her parents. Sarada is a lot like her mother because of her strength and she is also a lot like her dad because of the Sharingan. The only character that I think equals one of their parents is Himawari because she looks nothing like her dad and almost everything we have seen from her has come from her mom Hinata. Thinking that a family member is dead isn't the only trauma a child can experience. Heck, Himawari awakened the Byakugan because of a freaking teddy bear. Boruto is more like his dad than not. Same yellow hair, same jutsus, same eyes, and nearly identical personalities. Himawari is only a bit like her mom, same dark blue hair and same eyes. There is still a chance that Boruto can obtain the Byakugan, thus will truly deviate from the simulariteis of his dad @Daywakler In the case of Himawari, "trauma" is how she got her Byakugan. So it is like a Sharingan. Honestly I hope you are joking - If not, damn. Boruto isn't like his father at all, while they are bold, loud, and energetic, they still both stem far away from each other quite fast. Especially with Boruto being a talented boy, whom doesn't believe in team work, and early on in the story he thought he anything and everything on his own, hence why Naruto compares him to Sasuke. We later then see that his character is built up on laziness, and he detests training to the point where he argues about it with his father, stating he could do things without training if he must.

But yeah, "nearly identical personalities". Give me a break. It's like Kishimoto wasted his efforts in making his character, and the Movie. Thankfully I've seen enough discussions, read the wikia page to confirm that my thought process wasn't singular, and read enough Boruto Movie reviews to understand a large majority understood what Kishimoto was doing in the making of Boruto's character. I don't really understand how someone can say that their personalities are similar, when he went out of his way to make them polar opposites. It's like calling Sarada a Sakura clone, despite the Manga saying that their personalities are alike. We should know better based on her performance.

He's just about unique as the lot of them, if not more. He gains his similarities from his father, a bit from his mother, and then everything else is taken from outside them both. While most of the other next generation characters are built up on one parent, or both.

Well, your forgetting that Boruto inherited his Taijutsu style from his mother's side of the family. When it comes to techniques, unclear. Since he's a Prodigy, I'm sure he has more to offer. Though I hope he actually goes into Kenjutsu like his master, but that might be when he is a bit older, since Sasuke only really started using them in the Manga in Part 2.

Anyway, I don't really understand why you said Himawari looks nothing like her father. Both Movie information state that Himawari inherited Naruto's facial features, and Boruto inherited his mother's. Obviously, Himawari looks like a more balanced of the two than her brother, clearly. Her abilities are unknown because she literally activated the Byakugan and used GF on accident.

Well you aren't wrong at all. He looks a lot like his father:

Blue eyes (apparently his is lighter than Naruto's via Sarada @ Boruto Movie?) Same hair color (different hair style though) Whiskers (he has less than Naruto though)

The only thing different would be his facial structure, which is more round, and his eye shape. Overall his features of Hinata aren't that prominent where you can clearly say he looks like them both clearly, but it's there, just not that well created.
