"Weaknesses? Listen, he was full of weaknesses. He was a good-for nothing. But he pulled himself up with his own strength and became Hokage" - (Sasuke Uchiha).
The last chapter of the Naruto manga (chapter 700) felt like it was setting something up by introducing bunch of new characters as the new generation of konoha shinobi, including the main character of this movie and the son of naruto known as boruto. This movie revolves around boruto and his relationship with his father.

"Weaknesses? Listen, he was full of weaknesses. He was a good-for nothing. But he pulled himself up with his own strength and became Hokage" - (Sasuke Uchiha).
The last chapter of the Naruto manga (chapter 700) felt like it was setting something up by introducing bunch of new characters as the new generation of konoha shinobi, including the main character of this movie and the son of naruto known as boruto. This movie revolves around boruto and his relationship with his father.
Story:
Naruto is now the seventh Hokage and a living legend in the eyes of the world, while his son boruto struggles to adapt to this situation in which his father is busy and can no longer spend time with his family, so he turns to his father's old rival and Sasuke Uchiha to be his teacher so he can one day beat Naruto. .
The idea of Boruto going for sasuke for help is a very interesting idea, it works amazingly in this movie and it's a main plot point in the story.
The fact that Naruto is finally the hokage the title that he wanted his whole life yet he looks tired and somewhat exhausted all the time of this office job. This whole ideal has a sense of realism that we see in the real world which I enjoyed very much in the movie.
Art:
The art is amazing which is very noticeable especially in the action scenes and it's definitely one of the pros of the movie.
Sound:
Sound was very good, same voice actors and the new voice actors are good and overall the sound worked very nicely.
Character:
The movie is mostly about Boruto and his relationship with Naruto and then Sasuke as his teacher. But also most of the character from the original series are present and this movie does a good job of giving most characters a time to shine.
Sasuke is the best character in this movie, he is almost a completely different character from the original series and all the consequences and the developments of Shipuden is present in the movie.
The villains are definitely not interesting or special in anyway but they serve as plot point that drives the story and their abilities are very cool at least visually which makes the fights between them and naruto and sasuke really good.
Enjoyment:
This movie is very enjoyable for a Naruto fan and it’s so much better than some of the other naruto movie which mostly feels like filler. This movie feels like the original anime/manga something Kishimoto would write, except it's done with amazing animation. So most Naruto fans will like and enjoy this movie but I can't promise the same for people who are not fans of the naruto anime/manga.
Overall:
+Naruto's life as hokage.
+Adult Sasuke!
+Boruto dynamic with Naruto and Sasuke.
+Amazing Animation
