P.S: I would recommend you watch episode 311 of Shippuden before watching this, it's a prologue. (Animated version of the manga short that came out like a year ago).
I torrent my episodes of Naruto, but here's a link for those that don't:

Pacing:
-A lot, and i mean a LOT of this movie is just so oddly paced. They make an incredible, a just ridiculous amount of pausing, slow scenes, and generally the entire movie is either a comedy act or some sort of extremely weird "ritual state"(as is every naruto movie) action scene. Which comedy would be decent, if everyone wasn't playing an alternate character and the ritual state......well it's not exactly decent to say the least.(hard to say its anything but cheesy). But the pauses.................the .............. pauses....... are........so.......random......and ............well you get the.........idea. It's just weird, like they forgot to make the movie flow.....at all. It becomes so annoying that I actually had to check with every source I could find to see if this wasn't a subs problem.(it wasn't).
Animation:
Lazy, lazy, lazy. From the evil-naruto 10 second loop, to half the movie looking like shit. I'm just curious, why all the wide angle shots with horrible "ms-paint" backgrounds for everyone and just simple animations? Did I miss something? What is with all the rough edges? Isn't this a movie? I mean there are just soooo many times where I look at this movie and go "damn, this is like some kid's ms paint flash project".
-It's incredibly lazy to the point where I can't comprehend a movie like this(with actual production values put in) comes out looking like this. It's shit, this movie actually falls behind the other naruto movies in terms of animations. Why or how, i don't care really.
Plot:
-Derp derp, alternate dimensions. Derp derp, everything is backwards for some reason but not entirely. Naruto hangs out with his parents(oh joy, more flashbacks), and you get the same scenario in every naruto movie for the bad-guy. It is nothing special and done with absolutely no excitement.
So essentially in the end fight, naruto fights the bad-guy, who is evil naruto alternate universe style. He summons a bunch of half-assed tailed beast and then akatsuki pops up out of nowhere and helps him beat them. As pathetic as this is, there is almost zero action scenes worth mentioning here, zero. In fact, the way they constantly have cameo-pops in the scenes just makes me question what the fuck they were thinking.
-----------------------------
All in all, this movie sucked. Even for a naruto movie, I expect better. This was the equivalent of a filler naruto movie, and that pretty much speaks for itself.
I kinda have to agree with Empire here on this one. Not so much for the same reasons, but I have the same verdict. It was WAY TOO over hyped. Also, as both a watcher and reader of Naruto anime & manga, it felt weird seeing all of the Akatsuki there. Although I did feel sad in the beginning when Naruto had no one to promote him. And probably the only good part, for me, was the 9-tails VS 9-tails fight.
I've only seen like 2 of the Naruto movies and ill continue to just stick with the manga.

No problem! :P
And I enjoyed the movie, it felt a little weird, but that's what was cool about it. First movie written by Kishi himself.

Its way too overhyped for what could have been a filler arc. This movie does not show what is to be expected of anime-movie quality, not even on the shonen end.
Yeah, Empire is right. The movie was a giant fan-service filler with shitty animation, the other movies were MUCH better than this one. The only thing I found slightly interesting was the alternate personalities, that was all, and I'm a pretty big Naruto fan, I watched this movie raw and at first, it was pretty good but after re-watching it, I thought it was shit.

I think the other naruto movies did a better job in pretty much every area. There was a compelling reason to fight the badguy, the animation/action was actually pretty good, and the use of "neo-technology" was also interesting.
However that being said, this naruto movie should have been on the league of Strong-World with all the hype.
I've seen in it last summer in a toho cinema in osaka. >D
I found it to be quite enjoyable aswell... but maybe it was also due to the fact that it was adults only at that specific time. But yeah I may presume that I'm the only one with the dvd that you get when you watch the movie.
Oyeah i posted this info before (that the movie was available) a month ago or something.
Lastly, you know what is funny ?.. I watched the anime a week or 2 ago and on episode 271 you'll see the episode where "sakura" is the other world. I had laugh about that, though i was wondering when i'd find the promo episode for that movie.
Yeah I seen this awhile ago. Movie was bad
Can't watch anime that are over 200 episodes, I just lose interest.

I can understand the ones that get really repetitive but not all are like that you need to work on your attention span.

They're difficult to get into at this point, but most people have been into it for a while. Once you're caught up, it's not that hard to keep up. 21 minutes a week for the anime, and around 10 (depending on how fast you read) for the manga.
Honestly, I would recommend getting into it if you have time in the summer. I have like 35 episodes of the anime saved up for when summer starts (since I read the manga anyways), and I have a feeling I'm going to blow through them in like 1-2 days.
If you get into just read the manga. Easier, faster, better story.
The anime is in all regards too long, too poor quality, and a giant amount of it is filler.
Unless you have just hour upon hours to waste and want to pretty much blow your brains out, I'd avoid it. You could essentially watch close to 5+ years of other anime instead of watching a single anime series that is tremendously low quality.
