Naruto will likely appeal to a younger audience who haven’t already seen this same story played out dozens of different times in other anime. Quite honestly these films don’t get more adult oriented until later on, but I felt it was important to showcase this film as it is a stepping stone into the universe…

In a quest to become a true martial arts master, Ryu sets out to hone his street fighting skills and to deliver himself from the haunting legacy of the Dark Hadou. Sadly, instead of continuing from Street Fighter Alpha to part 2 we are presented with a 45 minute prequel which is obviously not aimed at any street fighter fan…
Dante’s Inferno made me think about evil, morality, the nature of god, all that stuff. It is thoughtful and smart, with a story that makes sense. A lot of the animes you watch make no sense whats so ever, but this made perfect sense all the way through. This film is interesting because it’s all about point of view.

Approach The Art of War as just a generic martial arts action movie, and I think you will find some enjoyment out of it and it can be used as a sleek reminder of what Wesley Snipes used to be capable of doing.
