(Literally, you could actually predict the plot while being a mile away from your screen. On a more serious note (naruto movies are serious business) - The ending and the upcoming "plot twists" could be seen from a mile away. (EDIT: Six years later the Siberian tiger still haunts my dreams on a nightly basis) Sorry, I just feel like the tiger played an essential role in this post-modern tragicomedy and should not be taken lightly. The geopolitical implications of antagonizing Siberian tigers in a holistically constructed narrative, earth-shattering discourse is brought to the table. Second half onwards, by means of exploring The first 40 minutes felt like a REALLY long intro for the paltry five minute fight scene. I had more fun in the rectal exam room than watching this abomination take on it's convulsed shape. The "story" (if you can call a sequence of random, incoherent, completely disconnected events that) itself was even worse than the rest of these sub-par, money-milking, uninspired Naruto movies. One shouldn't expect eye-opening narrative or intricate writing when faced with a vile creature that is the shounen filler movie, and yet.It still somehow manages to upset this barely tangible notion of "expectation".
