Seeing the trailers makes me miss old kung fu movies even more. Cg everything…<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="

When does it come out for the Xbox360 again?
-
From the redundant title, you can tell it's going to be a cheap movie…
Probably all action and no story.
Well, at least it's still a better title than the American Ninja >_<
-
When it comes out I'll let ya know if it's true ;-D

i'm with you there Zyordius!

In the link, all I see is numbers flying towards me.
Is it actually the loading page? Wow, what crappy internet speeds I have.
-
Yes, lol
It's a totally live action movie
-
i thought the numbers were pretty cool. At first I was all like, "woah, this movie is gonna have a timetravel plot or something,"?
then I realized it was the site pre-loader.
hmmm… not much to add... except some good ol' fashion Classic Kung-fu!!

Did you see the trailer? There isn't much cheap about it.
Of course expensive doesn't mean good.
Anyway, looks entertaining.
It's up to us to make an awesome ninja movie because the people who invented ninja FUCKING SUCK ASS AT ATTEMPTING TO MAKE NINJA MOVIES.
"Well besides the stupid-looking main character, it doesn't look bad."
Yeah, they don't show you that 90% of the film is about a loser kid that has a scene where he throws a tantrum in public in his underwear.
"That doesn't look too bad!"
Uh-huh. Good first half. Then it turns into a sleeper love triangle of shit.
Hey ninjas in a fuck-off boring love story!And this should be self-explanatory:
The title is not unintentional.
There's a ninja.
He's an assassin.
This means we get a ninja assassininging people.
What more do you need to know?
And his weapon is fuck-off cool.
This movie could blow chunks. But I for one love that they had the balls to call it Ninja Assassin. That means that just maybe. MAYBE. They're hoping to turn away dip-shit girls looking for another boring love story between slitting people's throats.
Will it take Americans to show the Japanese how to interpret their own shit?

hmmm… not much to add... except some good ol' fashion Classic Kung-fu!!
Classic kung fu is always awesome, sometimes…

Pretty messed up and hilarious at the same time.The main thing ninja assassin shares with all other martial arts movies is the plot that they all have…Revenge! That's one thing that has never bothered me about the old films, it's always revenge and you know the hero/heroin will get it. Off the top of my head i can only think of one guy that has captured the spirit of the old films...

Hmm if nothing else, it looks like a fun popcorn flick. I'll give it a chance.
-
GOEMON is probably a better CGI ninja film of 2009.
-
It can't be. It's Japanese and it's about ninjas.
How many times must I say it?
Japanese ninja movies fucking suck.
-
I think it's looking to be a pretty good movie. the action will sell it alone, but I get a very 300 vibe from it, which is a good thing.
-
The title makes me laugh and then cry that hollywood can't come up with a better name.
'Still I might go see this.
-

'Yep, now we have movies that just say what the movie generally is, soon we'll have movie titles like Movie 443 or Good guys vs Bad guys. They have been trying to avoid that though with…sigh... endless remakes...
Oh well, more old school kung fu

At first this movie didn't sound very good, judging from the generic title and the poster which reminded me of Assassin's Creed. I just saw the trailer on TV a little while ago though and it does indeed look awesome. I still feel like a fool saying "Ninja Assassin" though
.

Does no one get it?
The title is supposed to be cliche.
It's reverse cliche.
So cliche that it's awesome.
Do you realize the kind of balls you must have to call a movie that?
If this movie was PG-13 I might be pissing indiscriminantly all over it, but I remain incredibly hopeful after that trailer.
-
Well, for all I know the movie could be terrible, but who cares about the name…I'm sure Greg would attest to example of two words: "Fight Club".
-
Sometimes a movie knows its genre and just runs with, saying that "It's not high art, we know exactly what this is, you know exactly what this is, you'll enjoy it for those reasons."
Ergo, Snakes on a Plane.
Which no one expected to be any good, but they DID expect Sam Jackson to curse alot in the midst of an absurd summer movie plot. And thats exactly what they got.
This is much the same thing.

Very true. I enjoyed that movie very much, cooler thing was my high school art teacher was the one to show it to me, My first class was just him, no other students, so we would just talk about cool stuff and he mentioned the movie. Next day he brings it in and we watched over the next two days. Still has one of the best endings I have ever seen.
-
Oh no, the cops!
Worse … it's the Police Cops.
-
I guess the awesomeness of some movies overshadow the generic title like, Fight Club, which now that I think about it is a very generic title.
-
I really don't see where the complaining iscoming from.
I'd much rather have a simple, self-explanatory title than some pretentious bullshit trying-to-be-clever non-title like I've been seeing a lot of lately.
-
OH WELL
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/43188They mention that the opening is cool.
What the fuck.
Why can't anyone make a ninja movie where MORE than JUST the opening is awesome?
-
Well I've said this to so many people that have talked about or mentioned Ninja Assassin to me
This movie is either going to mindfuck us all or it's going to produce nothing but bullshit cliche fight scenes and a horrible plot that we've seen time and again, that will drift the action movie back into oblivion from once it came.
-
OH WELL indeed. I still may go see it, better than going to see New Moon at least.

Ahh…nothing like seeing a movie that stars the extras from the Peaches music video.

First line of IGN review:
If nothing else, Ninja Assassin is true to its title. There are ninjas, and yes, they assassinate the hell out of people.
My wish for this film as posted on page 1:
There's a ninja.
He's an assassin.
This means we get a ninja assassininging people.
Consider my faith and excitement restored. Maybe Capone was hoping for more of those shitty ninja films from Japan.
-
well saw the trailer at the cinema on monday and it looks like a nice movie to watch. No deep story or dialogues, just a popcorn movie.
But I am fine with that. -
If this movie is moderately successful, maybe the creators will do "Samurai Swordman" next :P.
-
I'd like to see "Pirate Outlaws"
-
Gangster Hoodlums
-
Samurai Gangsta Pimps
-
I liked it.
…
Emo cutters.
-
I liked it too….Nothing really great, definitely some eye-rolling, cheesy scenes, but it's lots of martial arts action with lots of body parts and blood flying everywhere done by a hot asian guy, which is what I went in expecting, so no complaints here.
-
I saw it and liked it. The final boss reminded me of Geese Howard… if he were a ninja.... it was definitely the right take on ninjas, I honestly felt like I was watching a horror movie for the first half though.
-
I saw it last night and thought it was pretty good. I like how Raiju wasn't portrayed as a God but more of the normal ninja, getting massivily fucked up here and there. Though I admit the whole special heart thing was kinda corny. And I wish that when Raiju and his brother fought it could have been more epic (though that death was pretty sweet!).
-
Raiju? You mean Raizo?
I went in to this movie expecting a decent plot. I came out with ninja stars in my chest. The action was superb and I loved the way they portrayed the whole shadow movements. I would have loved more explanation of abilities, but whatever. Also, the relationship between Raizo and Uzu seemed forced.
-
it's def a man movie. And, I'm okay with that.
-
<- isn't a man and liked it
-
This movie sucked.
I had high hopes and all of them were dashed.
I was willing to give the movie some leeway with the cheesy as shit intro because it ended on an awesome note.
You know, it doesn't bug me when OBVIOUSLY Korean or Chinese or halfs play Japanese roles anymore, but fro Chrissake people, do some goddamn research for your movie.
This cocksucker is the leader of his gang and he's complaining about the pain from a tattoo.
Are you fucking kidding me.
1. Any 'gang' leader would have tattoos LONG before he established leadership.
2. He's complaining about the color? For real? This guys is badass enough to be a gang leader and he complains about pain from adding color?? On his fleshy back!? And this is like what, his first tattoo??
3. The old man who puts a goddamn biker-style ninja tattoo on his chest!?
4. The old man is a wuss???
But then everyone was carved up awesomely and I decided to give it a chance.
It just went down from there.
Raizo's weapon was the shit. Too bad he didn't use it interestingly enough until that battle with the 'older brother'.
90% of the action scenes were just people thrashing about in darkness so you couldn't tell how bad they really are at martial arts.
Uninspired fight scenes. I haven't seen a good original fight scene in a movie since Matrix 1. Have we really run the barrel dry?
And the girl…
I won't say anything.
The title and the few clips I saw seemed to give a vibe that someone was really having fun with the ninja theme and wanted to give us a wicked ninja movie that enjoyed the camp of the 70's done in a dark tone.
But no.
Gallons of CG blood and a woman screaming half the movie.
