So this movie was ok, the story was was fine but that interesting when it came to hyping me up for the movie
Story 7/10- The movie seems like it takes place after Jiraiya death but before Pain's attack on the leaf and the story is basically time travel which sounds fine but I don't think it was interesting as Naruto and Yamato travel back in time to stop someone but in the end, they forgot what happens but it was cool how Naruto meets Minato even though Naruto doesn't who he is to him but like I said they do forget about what happened though
Art 7/10 and Sound 7/10- The art was fine nothing really bad about it, and the voice acting and sound were ok also.
Character 7/10- There only two main characters that are important in this movie and they are fine nothing really that int…

I'm going to keep this short and simple. It was boring. Really boring. I fell asleep watching it, so I decided to rewatch it. I fell asleep again. The concept is confusing. I tend to enjoy the Naruto movies, even though I don't like the anime that much. I am still trying to figure out what the entire movie is supposed to be about. Not to mention, the way Naruto gets into this situation makes absolutely ZERO sense. The introduced characters are terrible, forgettable, and its hard to care for them. The villain, unforgettable and lame, is basically a poor man's Doffy.

This is the seventh Naruto movie, made around the time the protagonist finds out who his parents are. The movie abuses the time travel gimmick to offer some silly fanfic situation where he can meet them while they are still alive. Other than that, the whole thing is made without much care or love. It’s like they animated it just for the fans who wanted to see all the adults of the series still as kids and Minato kicking ass with his super elite powers. And the problem is, they didn’t even offer that. Minato barely does something in this movie any ninja couldn’t do better.
So the generic villain of this movie tries to take advantage of a power source sealed by the fourth Hokage, which ends up throwing him and Naruto back in time (Yamato too but he doesn’t matter at all). Minato was at that…

**THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN A FEW SPOILERS**
After 3 steady in quality Naruto: Shippuuden movies the creators finally dropped the ball with this one.
Story: (4/10)
The story of Naruto: Shippuuden Movie 4 - The Lost Tower begins with Naruto, Sai, Sakura, and Yamato going on mission to stop a rogue ninja named Mukade from removing a seal in the ruins of Ouran. When he successfully removes the seal a large amount of energy devours Naruto and Yamato. When Naruto wakes up he soon finds out that he had been sent to the past and into the new city of Ouran. I found this story to be very predictable with nothing making it any different from any other Naruto movie. The story moved in the same way as the first Naruto: Shippuuden movie. The chakra blade that they introduced in the beginning of the mo…

It is a sad day in the forest when a kid can't recognize his own father who looks EXACTLY like him when he has outrageously yellow, spiked hair just like him. This is the tale of Naruto and the Lost Tower in a nutshell.
*Note: This review may include a few spoilers.
Story (1/10):
The plot makes absolutely no sense and has little purpose other than for Naruto to meet his father and completely misunderstand it, as his head is too thick to even consider the fact that the guy with the exact same haircut gave him his gene pool. I'm only going to assume that this plot takes place before Naruto knows that the fourth Hokage was his dad because he did manage to piece that together, but nothing else.
Another thing he obviously couldn't figure out was that the girl he meets back in the present at t…

The short: A rougue Ninja from the country of the Wind, Mukade, is aiming to get a hold of a power by the name Ryuumyaku which is located within the old city of Rouran. It holds an incrediable source of energy, and therefore it was sealed by the Fourth Hokage back then. Team Kakashi's mission, is to stop this man and renew the seal. When they encounter the enemy, things doesn't go as smooth as they planned it out to be.
Overall: It's always a BAD idea to make a solely Naruto movie. You have to include the other ninjas, otherwise you would end up with a boring movie.
The Naruto universe has so many ninjas with so much to offer - Yet they decided to let Naruto go almost solo on this one.
Verdict: This movie was a disappointment. If you've thought the first movie was boring - You ain't seen…

For a filler story, it was just that. Designed to fill space. There is no point to this movie. I can say no more without adding spoilers. The previews were intriguing, and I really wanted to see something at least on par with the second Shippuuden movie. That wasn't the case.
This isn't your typical Naruto filler story, which is what attracted me to it in the first place. It's not the average "village in peril" sort of filler arc (yes I have said that F word over and over, and I am not sorry for using the F word). Filler is usually bad, and this is no exception. Even the action scenes were a disappointment int his one.
Why did I give it a "4" then. Well it gets a point for originality (meaning it's different than the other F movies), then it gets 1 point for me liking the characters in…

I'm not really a fan of any of the Naruto Films as in my opinon they're really just one big filler, and this one proves to be just that...
Story - Ok, I don't want to just bring up the stupidity of having time travel in Naruto as it kind of ruins the purpose (even though its a filler jutsu) of the story of Naruto. The puppet master thing is unimaginative and ridiculous, why would a puppet master have need of a time travel jutsu and the whole thing that he can put chakra theads everywhere is stupid, he does not have the same kind of chakra as Naruto so how can he do it. It's nice to see Minato but he plays a bit of a worthless role in the film as he really just supports Naruto, Yamato could have done the same job and may have done it better as he has the wood style and the bad guy controls…

Unexpectedly enjoyable for a Naruto film. The time travelling story is decently executed, albeit formulaic. If you're an avid fan of Doctor Who or a similar show, chances are, you'll like this one.
Don't be fooled by the poster. The fulcrum of the story is Saara; and heaps of character development and screen time are on her. Naruto and Yondaime are the supporting characters.
Saara reigns over an beautiful odd kingdom. Her goal is to "rule" like her mother, who impressed upon her to put people first. However, her odd adviser seems to have other ideas.
The Lost Tower touches on several concepts which could have been better explored, but since this is a Naruto film, the audience is mostly left with a mission-type story in which Yondaime's presence adds a special shine. Saara quickly lear…

They went totally wrong with this movie.
Naruto travels back in time. He meets his father also the future 4th Hokage. We also have the ninjas of the village when they were kids.
So they dont focus on the kid versions of the ninjas from the village, instead they are shown in only one scene!
We had a great chance of seeing Kid Kakashi and Future 4th Hokage in action, but they always disappear off the screen. And instead they focus solely on Naruto.
Even during the boss fight when 4th Hokage and Young Kakashi are present they are nowhere to be found.
What were they thinking? When I saw the trailer for this I was really expecting to see the kids of the village in action; Kid Kakashi, Kid Guy, Kid Shizune and all the rest of the future Jonins. What a disappointment.

Okay., I happened to watch this very much anticipated movie of Naruto shippuden just recently. Actually, I can no longer bear to miss this movie since there's already an upcoming NS on the big screen entitled Blood Prison.
Well ... The Lost Tower did rock my narutard world again!! Damn!! Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden recent movie always surpasses the previous film itself., though all the N/NS movies are always at its best in their own given year.
What truly made this film so remarkable is the fact that Minato is one of the main characters here!! *kyaa!!!! Yondaime was soo damn hot and gorgeous!!!*
And well., as usual., silly Naruto never even realized -spoiler--------- that the ninja guy who looks like an older version of himself and the same guy who seems to always protect him was in fact, h…

This movie was terrible!!!! I really like the naruto series and I love what Kishimoto is doing with the manga however this movie seemed to me like it was thrown together quickly. Initially I wanted to watch this anime becasue of the trailers but the movie was a huge dissapointment. I do not suggest watching this movie at all. The story line did not make sense either in comparison to the manga. The other movies at least made sense and you could figure out where in the story this might occur. This was not the case with this movie I could not figure out where in the hell they could possibly fit this movie into the story line. Actually I do know where it fits in but that does not make sense to me either anyways I suggest save the hour and half of your life and watch something more productive s…

This anime movie is really good i have to say. At first, i hesitated that i didn't really want to watch it. But then when i got near the end of the movie, i was so hooked on. During the end of the movie, when everybody forgotten about what had happened when they traveled back in time, Naruto met the daughter of the person whom he saved inside the past. It made me imagine how it would feel to forget about everything that had happened, and to forget a special person whom you love. It moved me so much

I'm never a big fan of Naruto movies or anime, especially when the manga quality was going downhill too.
However, I have to admit that this is the best installment of the series. At least it brought me some emotion at the end.
The story is still straightforward as you may expect but not as stupid as other Naruto movies/fillers. At least the final doesn't appear to be super overpowered but finally get crushed completely by Naruto (he is still crushed by Naruto but after being nerfed by a third party).
This movie doesn't rely much on dazzling visual effects like the previous Shippuden movies so some brainless people may find that disappointing.
I would normally rate this 7 but just to encourage people to appreciate this more than other movies, I give an 8.

Naruto Shippuden: Lost Tower Movie Review
**WARNING SOME SPOILERS**
Oh how I hate trailers, well actually I’ve come to hate them, I use to enjoy watching movie trailers now I can only watch them with a skeptical and critical eye. They’re deceiving and often times will regurgitate the best scenes in one mash up with dramatic background music: it’ll get the audience intrigued and excited. Lost Tower followed the same routine.
The movie trailer truly looked exciting, while I have seen the past Naruto movies – a few being quite disappointing – I was crossing my fingers for this one. I saw the trailer and had a fangirl moment once I saw a glimpse of the Fourth Hokage and a chibi Kakashi: it had time travel written all over it. I was so excited at the prospected that for a year I patiently wa…

A popular trend re-emmerges:
- Naruto must look after a bratty, importiant young girl; those who have watched a couple of Naruto movies previously are bound to pick up on this element, which is now cliche
- Another movie only element we come to expect is Sakura gaining the opportunity to spring into action for a breif moment, despite the fact that this is rareity in the anime
We also have shortcuts:
- Did the storyboard in this film think we wouldn't notice the Hutzil robots from Darkstalkers making an appearance?
- A villian being in the proximity, hiding behind a small statue was out of place and contradicted te notion of a 'sealed environment'.
Cliche's and shortcuts aside, the plot is OK, very straight forward...
Naruto and co. are sent to re-new the 4th Hokage's seal, yet things don…

After seeing the trailer for this movie nearly a year ago, I'll be honest and say I thought it looked really awesome! It seemed like a great idea for a Naruto movie! Now, I've seen the long awaited Naruto Movie 4 The Lost Tower, and I am, to say the least, very disappointed with it.
It wasn't the worst Naruto movie I've seen, but it was the one that I was most excited about and that's what bothers me the most.
Here is what I thought of it:
Story: 4
From the trailer and the description, I thought for sure that this movie would be about Naruto going into the past and meeting his dad and they would have a father-son sort of bonding (without knowing that they were related). I wanted to see Minato and Naruto as the main focus of the movie. And what do I get? All together, Minato showed up i…

This movie was so good.
If you have watched the previous Naruto and Naruto Shippu. Series then this movies answers alot of questions. It relates the main family story line of naruto and his mother and father.

Compared to the other movies, this one wasn't that good. I mean, as a movie or time killer its fine but it's nothing to get hyped up over. As usual Naruto being the main character runs around doing things his way like in every other movie. Theres nothing new here. Also the main female is NOT Naruto's mom. Naruto's mother's name is Kushina. This lady is Sara. They just look alike.
Story: 7/10
The concept of time travel is interesting itself. I mean, Naruto going back into time to meet Minato and a few others? Who wouldn't want to see that?. Unfortunately this hope was dropped a little (tell you why soon) and is why it fell short of 8 for me.
This "present" Naruto and this "past" Minato barely ever collided timelines in conversation. I understand that during time travel, contact between pa…
