@SweetNicole12 Maybe so, but considering all that was done for this film, with its redesigns, Kishi-backing, and intended conclusiveness, it's pretty retarded to make a love story out of what you have on the table. Only two characters get recognition? GTFOOH!!! Here's how they should've done it. All the Konoha 13 characters have an equal share in the battle against Toneri in the format of the ensemble cast (similar to Shippuden 3: Will of Fire), supporting characters and Kakashi get a good decent amount of screentime, and the conclusion of the story is not some retarded love story (that would've been SO MUCH BETTER had it been resolved way earlier) but rather Naruto's final steps to becoming Hokage. Unless these designs get re-used in later films (which, considering the title, is very unlikely), I see no hope in this.

@Hisana You have a VERY good point. Why on Earth does Hanabi - who only made like, one actual appearance in the manga (IT doesn't count) - have such a big role all of a sudden? Kishi must've really run out of options for NH here. Again, it doesn't work until this film came out. Sasuke should've had a very big role also; he WAS the second-or-third (it's hard to say if he was more important than Obito, but he was definitely less than Naruto) most important figure in the fight against Kaguya.

@Elve I couldn't agree with you more. This movie was just Fifty Shades of Grey for NHers and nothing else. Add in Sasuke and boom, suddenly the theater is very... I shouldn't describe it.
