It's finally done. All of the Naruto movies are out. And with that there's only one thing for us to do - argue over which is best! So which is your favorite Naruto movie?

Here's my list (it only includes the Shippuden movies because those are the ones I've seen, along with The Last's plot synopsis):

7. Shippuden the Movie - While it has good themes, the film is ultimately not very engaging at all and is terribly scripted. It would have been better if it had been completely rewritten.

6. The Last - Unrecognizable art + shojo themes + filler material + lack of humor and action + completely underused character redesigns + an overblown, unneccesary romance that basically PROVED how underdeveloped it was DOES NOT = a winning formula. A film with so much potential that wasn't worth the hype. Why isn't it last (no pun intended)? It's canon and written by Kishi; you gotta respect it. Also has good quotes ("Our will can bring forth miracles" - couldn't say it better myself, Lord Sixth!)

5. Bonds - Pretty much in the same boat as Shippuden the Movie, with the addition of many non-interlocking stories that were rather similar to the third and fifth Spider-Man films in how they related to each other. But there is a bonus - IT'S GOT SASUKE!

4. The Lost Tower - Very nice to see a young Minato and Naruto to wield a Flying Thunder God Kunai prior to him actually doing so. Just wish the characters were emphasized more.

3. Blood Prison - So non-canon it's not even funny (what's with the cloak again?), but very engaging. Has a great storyline and plenty of humor, as well as tragedy and great characters. Again wish the characters were emphasized more, but oh well. Plus, it's always fun to see the pure-of-heart protagonist get something on his/her criminal record.

2. Road to Ninja - Probably everyone's favorite, this Kishi work features the best animation out of them all, as well as an engaging story and amazing themes. If anything I kinda wish the genjutsu counterparts other than Minato and Kushina were used more, especially with that HILARIOUS bathhouse scene which I can quote by heart. Oh - and it left every NS-er totally confused for some reason, LOL.

1. Will of Fire - This one has it all: great story, great humor, great action, great themes, great animation, great EVERYTHING! And it's the one that Kishi wants us to see more than anything. What more could you ask for? How about no unnecessary filler love interest (though Kakashi comes close, LOL).

So what about you guys? What's your favorite/least favorite movie?
