Board Thread:Boruto: Naruto the Movie/@comment-26010916-20150809180109/@comment-26883387-20150813183407

To be honest, I would say that it had it's entertaining moment but not quite epic. I think one of the main issue is the pacing. They tried to pack a lot into single movie: Boruto's relationship with Naruto, the new bad guys, Chunin exam, the attention seeking scientists. As a result, some of the scenes were a bit too short in my opinion e.g. namely the scene with the 8-tails.

True to the title they made Boruto the main character, the hero. That in itself is fine, for him to be in the same battlefield what we are supposed to believe are Kaguya class opponents is pushing it. In my opinion, it would have been better if this movie dealt with the the father and son relationship, chunin exam, and perhaps the scientists sub-plot and make another movie where Naruto/Sasuke and/or an older Boruto/Sarada/Mitsuki deal with those opponents.

tldr: I enjoyed it for what it was, but it isn't going to be super memorable.
