Now, I'm not going to BS you and make this movie out to be something it isn't. This is by far the best Naruto movie. Why? Because it knows it's a movie. Unlike other Naruto films (Including Road to Ninja), This film doesn't try to force some message from the show down your throat. NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG!!! I don't mind that in the other films (Except Lost Tower, that movie sucks). But Blood Prison is just a side story of fun, mystery, and action. It has a cool mystery/conspiracy that forces Naruto into a very bad situation. But it never contradicts what was put out in the original series or even the other movies. And the message it sent about Forgiveness and Moving forward after making mistakes was very well written and executed. Plus, from the fan perspective, it had everything we wanted. Cool action showcasing all the characters and SAGE MODE!!!

To sum up, Blood Prison has all the good things from Naruto and the other movies. It has the awesome concepts of the series. It has all the characters fighting like the Will of Fire. And it has the Message we can all stand behind from Road to Ninja. And, as a side note, THE ANIMATION WAS GODLY!!! It's a fun watch even if you aren't a fan of the series. Highly recommend to everyone. I hope this helps your decision.

I bought this Malaysian release of Blood Prison. Honestly I dont know if this is an offical release or a bootleg. As far as the DVD goes, quality is perfect. Audio, video and subtitles. The movie itself is great. It seems as if Naruto was abandonded by the Hidden Leaf Village. It almost brought a tear to my eye when the whole village came back in the end to support him! This movie held my attention for an hour and a half. Never a dull moment. One of the best Naruto movies. If you like Naruto, of course this movie is a must see.

Blood Prison was a really great Naruto movie.I watched the Japanese version and it had alot of awesome fight scenes.Whats even better is,Killer Bee is in it,fighting too.The Raikageis only at the beginning and the 5th Hokage fights too but in her Leaf village clothes.All the Leaf Ninja 11 are in this movie and this is the first movie to have Sage mode Naruto.I'm really glad Viz are releasing this early besides having to wait a year every time they release a Naruto movie.Maybe Road to Ninja will be released this year has well.Please VIZ,Naruto:Road to Ninja is the best movie to date,release it this year too.

No matter what any one says this movie was epic,and easily of the best shippuden movies if not the best.
This movie added a new element to Naruto but still kept all of its epicness this is the first movie we get to see with Naruto in sage mode and one of my personal pet peeves is that gamabunta fights to and in my personal feel every fight is better with a frog;) This is the first time mystery is really added to Naruto in a good way. We also get to see killer bee in this and the rakage the opening scene its self is will drag u in

aside from how amazing the movie is it came two days early and in perfect condition.I suggest u go out and buy a copy now,this is just one of those movies you have to own

Don't get me wrong I love this movie and it's probubly my favorite Naruto movie in general but amazon is making me nervous. Like no joke about a week ago the cover for this was different and said in description "English dubbed" and if u look now the date 11/16/13 it'll say Japanese audio and English subtitles...like how are you going to change it like that?? It's either dubbed or not and I want to know before I actually buy a Japanese movie. But if it's both just say that too because the way it looks like to a normal eye, they're re releasing a movie that's already out because you can buy the Japanese one right now.

I think the movie was pretty good however I think their release of it was a little premature it came out before box set 18 was out in the storyline of Naruto the Hocaga was still in her coma but in the movie she is out of her coma therefore I believe they released them in the wrong order as for the movie itself good storyline.

About the disc...

The quality is pretty good. There is no English audio, as expected. The subtitles can be a bit confusing, as they don't always separate one character's statement from the next very clearly, but it really shouldn't cause much of a problem.

As well, there is a very humorous extra short story, concerning Naruto's second attempt at the Chunin exam, and how he messes that up in typical Naruto fashion.

About the movie...

Having watched several of the earlier Naruto movies, it's obvious that they follow a certain formula. Not a bad thing, and one like "The Will of Fire" can add some interesting twists to it. But this one, with the premise of Naruto being put into a prison, seemed to be an attempt at a departure from the usual, which is one thing that got my interest.

So, I want to give props to the people behind it for trying something different, and for largely succeeding at it.

Events at the end aside, Naruto is pretty much on his own in this movie--isolated from the village, in a hostile place, and being manipulated for reasons that aren't clear at first. The story is intricate and well thought out, much more than a simple "find bad guy, beat up bad guy" scenario.

Fitting the story into the timeline of the manga or anime would be problematic, but if you've seen some episodes of the anime about the time of the Five Kages' Summit, you may have seen some posters for it in the background of a few scenes, and it seems like that's about the same time events in the movie take place.

Of course, it's still a Naruto movie, and the themes of friendship and loyalty are there in the end. But it doesn't have a typical happy ending, either.

Btw there're a couple of extra scenes after the end credits.

I enjoyed it a lot, and can recommend it.
