naruto shippuden movie 4 the lost tower summary

The first ten minutes easily sum-ups what to expect from the entire film, namely a combination of dreary fight-scenes, a “one-more-time” approach of fighting, stupidity from Naruto and flashbacks to past events, most of which we have never seen. With Mukade nearly beat he decides to absorb the power of the ley line, and by doing so causes a chain reaction which sends himself, Naruto and Yamato 20 years into the past. It’s this brief re-cap which explains to the viewer what’s going on but it also slows down the delivery of the story with several flashbacks, after which another battle breaks out between Team Yamato, Mukade and his puppet-jutsu. At first the viewer is left unexplained by what’s transpiring, as the film immediately begins with Naruto and Sakura battling puppets being controlled by a Puppet-justu, but after being saved by Sai, Sakura explains how to effectively defeat the Puppet-Jutsu and why they are here in the first place. The films initial story begins with Team Yamato, namely Naruto, Sakura, Sai and Yamato, in the desert on a mission to stop the rogue ninja Mukade from uncovering and using the power of the Ley Line at the ruined city of Rouran. There he encounters the future Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, on a top secret mission and the Queen of Loran, Sara, whose rule is threatened by Mukade.įeature-length movies based on a TV series are usually entertaining, as they provide a nice overview of what to expect from the show itself, unfortunately for Naruto Shippuden – The Lost Tower this isn’t the case, as while it provides a unique time-travel themed story the overall presentation is rather disappointing with more questions being asked rather than answered. Naruto gets caught up in the chakra and is sent back in time to the city of Loran, known for its thousand towers.

The Rogue Ninja Mukade is about to be caught by Naruto’s team when he summons forth the power of the Ley Line an ancient underground channel of chakra. It’s recently been heavily promoted on MangaUK’s instagram account, and it even has a unique tale that sees Naruto travel into the distant past to save a queen, but what exactly did we think of Naruto Shippuden’s fourth movie outing and this Blu-ray Release by Manga Entertainment UK? Find out in our Blu-ray Review of Naruto Shippuden – The Lost Tower.
