Naruto Movie 3 Discussion / poll

[tkdtiger]

I actually enjoyed this movie. There were good action, but I must admit there were some corny parts...They also give alot of hints towards the manga...

[Medalist]

The corny parts I thought...implemented that "Pokemon Drama" If you know what I mean.

[Jehuty]

Of course the movie is filler. Other than the 4th movie, I think we can consider all of them filler. that's how it's supposed to be.

The animation sucked on this movie. But although the quality was lower than what one would expect, the fighting scenes were decent -- the pace was rather quick, and it was refreshing to see Sakura in action.

Spoiler:

Lee's use of weapons was pretty good too -- I like how he incorporated the weights into weapons. Kakashi's jutsu seemed a bit odd though, and I seriously expected Cham (the siberian tiger) to turn human. I'm still waiting on that, hah.

There were some Pokemon-ish moments in there, which was dissapointing.

One thing pissed me off though...

Spoiler:

as funny as Naruto's leg being turned to stone and seeing him fall was, it pissed me off that he used that odama rasengan. what the hell, in the last movie it was a freaking rainbow. now it's got some moon shape or whatever in it.

But other than that, it was an ok movie to watch -- it wasn't completely horrible, but it wasn't anything memorable either.

[Blaster]

The story and animation are nothing special. Actually, the story is about the same as the 1st movie.

The battles are well done this time esp. Lee and Sakura.

[Hir0]

what on earth made rock lee to have that red face, Did he end up unlocking the gates?

When did Lee get those upgrades to his wieghts? lol

[That Other Ninja]

I thought he looked exactly like younger Lee before he met Gai and got the bowl haircut.

And yes, I think the red face was a cheap way to show Lee using the gates.

The shiny hair gives him a resemblence to Lee before the bowl cut but the shape just looks like a wavy Sasuke do... with gloss.

[Dragon Flame]

I thought he was a young mix between Ishida Uryuu and Sasuke

[-KarumA-]

the thing that bothered me was Naruto's hair >.<

[vhx]

I liked it, definately better than watching half a manga chapter animated in a 1 hour special. And of course the coolest parts are when Naruto loses it, when Kakashi summons the water wolf thing, and the Lee fight. Loved it when he threw out his weights and they made giant craters. TBH Sakura's fight didn't really seem all that much like a fight, that chick just got 1 shotted. Lol, that's the 5th's training I take it.

At first I hated that kid like Naruto did, but later, I agree, he did feel a lot more courageous. Story was good, the fights could have been better of course. To me the villians felt like low level Shinobi making their way using their tricks (Poison/Stone hand thingy) rather than having actual strength. I don't think I even seen them use a Jutsu hand seal at all.

Can't wait for the next movie taken place in Naruto Shippuden. Hopefully we get better fights there.

Well 4th movie which is in japanese theaters already, supposedly involves Akatsuki, so I believe that will be way interesting, and it won't be a filler movie.

That kid, i thought was kind of stuck up just because he's rich I guess.

I thought kangaroos beating up to guards was the best part of the movie. I loled when I saw his expression, I thought he was just pissed and busting his balls just to lift all that weight. I felt like Rock Lee will never be the same Rock Lee that fought Gaara. I still enjoyed his new techniques but his opponent look too weak and lame, after the first knock down that should of been it. Matter of fact just make a movie about Rock Lee getting drunk that would of ended the movie 30 minutes earlier. And probably would of been more entertaining.

[Ashlotte]

Well to anyone that complains about this being "filler" ofcourse your gonna be disappointed. Its not going to stack up anywhere near to the manga so dont even try.

As for judging it on its own as something seperate...Meh. It had its ups and downs I suppose. Sakura and Rock got some decent fight scenes, which was the biggest sucess of the movie for me. Well...that and watching some kangaroos beating up the guards that was just gold.

Just wish the story was alittle less cliche and kakashi not made out to be so weak.

It's a filler movie also. Some have said it might be akatsuki in it but it doesn't say, but the movie itself is filler. It doen't come out till Aug. 4. The presale tickets are what are being sold..

[ShadowClone]

Wow, they definitely "dumbed down" Kakashi's powers in this movie...

Spoiler:

I mean, an elite ninja like Kakashi using up all of his stamina by that fountain-creature summoning? WTF?

Action doesn't really pick up until the second half of the movie, and when it did it wasn't really that great. Gaara's battle scenes in Movie 2 were still the best executed action scenes of all Naruto movies, in my opinion.

I rated it below-average, it's something I think I will only watch once, and never again.

Filler movie? So? Movies and OVA's from any anime that has a manga, is considered a filler. As in, it goes off on a side-story from the main story.

Same goes to the rest of you. The movie is either 'bad' or 'good' not 'filler'. It makes you guys look stupid using such a term for a MOVIE.

[Jaden]

yeah, strange to call a movie "filler"...like, filler for what?

I liked the movie, while it was predictable and corny at times, there were many good scenes and it left a good mood in the end. Just like the first two. I don't find it a big deal that the character abilities/behaviour feels somewhat inconsistent, that's to be expected when they aren't written by the original manga author. And it'd probably be just worse if they tried to tie the movies in more closely with the manga/anime series.

There is such a thing as "so corny it's good" like the piggyback crescent moon rasengan. That was a nice touch, reminded me of the rainbow rasengan. I hope we'll see more of those. :P

Also, Sakura beach scene in a different sense would have been nice.

well, that's all my thoughts on this. :P

Filler just refers to content that is not mentioned in the manga and is not part of the Manga. It has nothing to do with it being good or bad or if it's part of the television series or a movie. Therefore the movie is what it is added content that is not a part of the manga. In other words anything that goes off on a side-story that doesn't fit with the main story is filler. It doesn't refer to it being good or bad. It is what it is added content. Indeed there have been many episodes that I liked that isn't in the manga, but those are filler material. I liked movie 3 with the exception of a few corny areas, but it's still added content and therefore is filler material. The best way to put it is that it's non-canon material, but saying filler is simpler to write and straight to the point. No offense before you start bashing people at least learn what the terminology refers to.

[vhx]

Well, first of all I wasn't referring to you with the second comment. Secondly, the last 3 movies had nothing to do with the manga. I think it's safe to assume it probably never will. In fact, I don't think I've seen any anime TV series actually use a movie to convey the manga story. Considering that would leave significant gaps in the story for the TV watchers who never watched the movie. It's pretty much given the movie is 'filler'. The only way a movie for an anime TV series would EVER work would be an ending.

LOL Yeah it reminded me of that too.
