Naturally, Gaara kicks ass. But I was more impressed with Sakura, not so much as in the first movie, but this movie portrayed her a lot better than anytime during the anime series.
Speaking of themes, again we have the "your master is a corrupt bastard" deal and even an appearance of "OMFG IT"S SAUCEKAY!"
