Hello there animation lovers and movie fans today i'm here to give you a review of an anime movie that has only just came out with an english dub and that movie is Boruto: Naruto The Movie so let's get it started.
The plot of this movie is Boruto Uzumaki is the son of Naruto Uzumaki the Seventh Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. Having heard stories of Naruto's deeds as a hero Boruto wishes to surpass his father. Following Sarada Uchiha, Boruto meets his father's friend, Sasuke Uchiha and requests to be trained by him. To me this film is more of a father and son story story because you get to see Boruto and his dad bond throughout the movie and you get to see the hardships that that relationship goes through but tho the film has some issues when it regards pacing sections of the film drag alot.
The voice cast for this film includes Amanda C. Miller , Cherami Leigh , Maile Flanagan , Yuri Lowenthal , Robbie Daymond and many more i won't name all of the cast in this film because there's a lot but honestly the voice actors do a great job considering some of them are voicing new characters and are new to the franchise in terms of voices the only gripe i have is that for some reason Naruto now has a raspy deep voice which is really annoying to listen to especially when it comes to the films more lighthearted moments.
This film was animated by Studio Pierrot who have worked on all the other Naruto movies and the TV shows and to be honest the animation isn't that bad in the movie there's a lot of great character expressions and fluid movement. The character designs in this movie i thought were really good each character not only looks different but also has a different feel to them which was something that i liked.
Now this wouldn't be an action film if there wasn't any action and the action in this film i thought was handled really well there not just the the typical punch and kick but there's also elements of magic thrown in and you get to see the characters use their environment and that is something that i really like as it makes each action scene look and feel different from the one that came before it and they nearly always involve these little character moments as well which is great.
The music for this film was done by Yasuharu Takanashi who does a really great job in this movie i could not praise this guy enough for me tho the best piece of music is the track that plays during the first half of the third act it has a heavy rock vibe to it which i really freaking love.
Overall i would say that if you didn't watch any of the previous Naruto movies or TV shows then this is the movie for you it acts as the perfect jumping of point for new fans if you were a fan of the franchise then you guys will like it as well for me tho this movie is a solid an 8 out of 10
