Best Ninja Movie Ever!
Added 3/21/2010

I don't write many reviews and i've never written a review about a movie, but this movie has motivated me to write my thoughts on why its the best ninja movie i've ever seen.

My Review: In my opinion this film is as good as it gets. This movie is non-stop action from the opening sequence through the end. The only thing i have to warn others about is the amount of gore present in the film. Its extremely graphic. But if you can stomache the blood you'll be rewarded with one of the best fight films to ever grace your television. The sound effects are phenominal and if you don't already own a surround system then this is the perfect time to get your home theater up to par and invest in some hardware, you won't regret it. The sounds from swords, shirukins, fighting action, etc will blow your mind. This film offers a level of immersion i have never experienced in a martial arts film. In fact i don't think i'm going too far by saying this is the single best martial arts/ninja movie of all time. I'm trying to keep this review short so i'll end by saying if you have not experienced this film yet you are just cheating yourself of one of the best films of all time.

Ninja Assassin
Added 3/20/2010

A skilled assassin who was trained by a mythical secret society, and patiently awaits the day he will avenge the death of his best friend. Swept off the streets as a young boy, Raizo is transformed into an unstoppable killing machine by a secret society known as the Ozunu Clan. The Ozunu Clan is so proficient at keeping their existence a secret that most people think they are only a myth, but the moment Ozuno assassins kill Raizo's friend, their days in the shadows are numbered. In the aftermath of that killing, Raizo stages a daring escape, subsequently biding his time until the day he can take the entire Ozunu Clan down. Visually this movie is incredible. It's unlike anything you've ever seen. The fighting is quick, furious and the story although not completely involving is involving enough so that you kinda like the characters. What this movie does explosively well is decapitate, disembowel and explode it's victims across it's blood soaked screen. It's an exciting piece of cinematic brilliance. It delivers on its title, wicked weapons, killer moves and bloody battles at its all-time best.

THE BEST Ninja movie EVER!
Added 3/20/2010

I've seen a bunch of ninja movies from the 80's on and so far, this is THE best ninja movie ever. Awesome fight scenes and sequences, great sound quality and Sho Kosugi is in it. If you haven't heard of him imdb him and you'll know why he's famous. I give the storyline 4 out of 5 but the overall movie action sequence puts this in the 5 scale. I love ancient martial arts being brought back in the modern world. If you love ninja action movies, this is a must see.

Cool Cover Art, Bad Movie
Added 3/19/2010

I love Martial arts movies. I love over the top violence. A movie doesn't have to be realistic to be good. Especially a Ninja movie. I don't expect the plot to be deep either, I mean it is called "Ninja Assassin". But it does need to be internally consistent and the action scenes can't all be done in CGI.
*****Spoiler Alert*****
1.Explain to me how ninja can obliterate swat team in one scene, and then become cannon fodder for them in another.
2.The same ninja / cannon fodder decapitate and dismember swat team but the head-grand-master of the clan can do no more but inflict surface wounds on the main character. Really?!

If you are going to do CGI based movie, atleast give me the behind the scenes features showing the hard work of the special effect technicians and stunt men.
Crappy movie, with crappy fight scenes. 1 Star for cool Cover Art, 1 star because the movie has Ninjas in it.
