Initially, when i started the movie, i felt like calling it a night, and watch the next part the next morning.....
But being a Naruto Fan, I couldn't do so, and i was rewarded later :P because the second half of the movie was really really cool......

Initially, the first half was a bit boring,, where it really dint catch your attention as other Naruto movies did..... But, from the part where the box is taken out, the story picked up pace, and suddenly you find yourself so engrossed in it, that you'd forget to do anything important, just to watch that part :P

Anyway, the way Mui was portrayed was simply awesome, like first being shown as the Antogonist, and then suddenly in the end, he is the one who saves them.... His son and his son's friend... all of them make you wonder about a few things.... But at the end of the day, we always have Naruto to save all our guys :)
PS, jus on the lighter side, this is a movie where Sakura keeps crying when Naruto is dead :P Wish something of this sort wud happen to me :P :P :P :P

Anyway, on the whole, it's fine and i'd say.... Guys, give this a try.... But be patient until the momentum picks up !!!!!!!!!!! (show less)

After last movies failure I was being cautiosly optimistic with this one. But it suprised me in more than one way. First off the plot takes a little different turn than the others and I appreciate it for that. This movie is also much darker and more brutal than the previous ones, both visually and in the action. It just had this very somber feeling throughout and that was a nice change of pace. The movies supporting character was also different from other movies, in that she actually had a purpose beyond whining at Naruto to save her. There was only one tiny plot hole but I couldnt talk about it without spoiling the end, but lets just say its not really anything that ruins the movie, it was just kind of there.

PS! To all of you out there complaining about the movies being filler. No shit? You figured that out now? The movies were always meant to be a side adventure taking place outside current story arcs but still showcasing characters and techniques from that current story. They were never supposed to be canon, so stop whining about that and enjoy them for what they are. (show less)

Apart from the misleading Title, Blood Prison being the 5-6 Installment in the Movie Series Around Naruto Shippuden I will now Give A detailed Report on whether this is worth it or not.

If you haven't seen my reviews I cut things up into 4 Category's and then I explain What is good And works and What bothered me. (SPOILERS ONWARD)

Story&Dialogue:
Well The story Was interesting to say the Least. It was New, Naruto Starts off attacking the Raikage In his own personal Room. Failing in assassinating him He then leaves causing the Raikage to Contact Hidden Leaf which they Arrest Naruto. Naruto flips his Lid. Gets sent to a New prison Where Everyone Is put under a seal Where it heats up your body if your restrain your chakra...This Is the whole reason Naruto Doesn't just use his ninja skills to get out. LIKED: In All of the Fucking Naruto Movies they Introduce some new stupid Semi-helpless character that Narutos Probably Going to end up saving. though Blood Prison Takes A different Approach, Introduces an ANBU black ops girl who wants to assassinate the Leader Mui. She also doesn't get saved, She dies. Blood Prison Did a good job at not following normal Naruto standards with this one. DIDN'T LIKE: Alright....Heres a major plot hole...Naruto was by himself multiple times...And if he knew Natural Energy was on the outside he could Have Easily Just used it from the beginning....I found it very hard To enjoy Narutos Incarceration When he could Easily Just Use Sage mode to get out...Dialogue Was meh, Along with the New characters Naruto was true to himself but didn't have much Epic Moments. I also found Satori Unpleasant to look at and just unrealistic to The Naruto Universe it was...But i digress, The story was interesting and different but I wasn't too fond of the new Characters and the Naruto universe Characters Just didn't have enough time.

Animation:
Not a lot to complain about here...I enjoyed seeing More of Killer bees Fight scenes and Naruto In Safe Mode was pretty Cool. It just looked like Normal Naruto Episodes But Narutos Face and body did seem a bit small in certain Situations. LIKED: I liked The fact that They Showed Many different landscapes from the actual Universe. And the Animations were all Relevant to their respective Attacks Like Kaiten, And Rasen Shuriken DISLIKED: Why...was there only leaf shinobi there with vests....There were no other Vests....for any other village...Also....Satoris movements wer crap...and it just looked stupid and Disgusting and Frail.

Entertainment:
Well I liked it Besides the things i have already stated but Nothing is perfect So i always Have a problem with something. LIKED: Alright So naruto not using 4,000 shadow clones for everything was kinda Nice. I enjoyed his different Combat Range and Summoning Gamabunta was Awesome. DISLIKED: The new Characters And The Fact Naruto could escape easily with Sage Mode at any point ruined it for me.

Conclusion: Overall Its a different and Great movie and keeps you interested Until the end. But Just Interested, Its not a movie you really get into but it has its moments. If your a naruto Fan I'd say Go for it. If you Did not Like Any Of the Previous Naruto Movies....This ones Entertainment value isn't much higher then Them. (show less)
