Meh 7/10... Pretty Anticlimactic, a little too predictable, and very corny in some parts, but still worth watching.
I did get to thinking though, last week a lot of people were complaining that the filler antagonists sucked because they had to rely on weapons and armor to go up against the sand siblings. Then I realized, the sand kids rely just as much on their weapons and armor. Temari with her fan, Kankurou with his puppets, and Gaara with his sand... imagine any of them without their weapons, and they would probably be pretty helpless. This is argumentative, of course, because as far as I know, we've never seen them fight without their weapons. So we really don't know how well they would do without them. But in reality, we've never seen these filler characters fight without theirs.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, sometimes the weapon makes the ninja.
But, that was what I was thinking halfway through this episode. In the end, the ease of their defeat made me want to completely retract my judgment on them. They really just sucked, plain and simple.
(BTW, two thumbs down for the "One Piece water-beats-sand no jutsu".)
