I was looking for a film to revisit the classic CANON ninja films of the 80s featuring Sho Kosugi and this lived up to those classics. I wasn't expecting (to quote Jon above) fight choreography of the likes of Samo, Jackie, Jet (the main streamers Jon dropped to sound like he knows his sh!t) or more of the HK legends (do your homework jon) like Wei Wen-Chen, Sheng Fu, or Tien-chi Cheng who were featured in many of Cheh Chang's films for the Shaw Bros... no, I wanted a return of REVENGE OF THE NINJA - ninjas doing cool shit, and this film delivered. Geez, looking at some of these complaints, people have forgotten what a good action popcorn flick is for. It isn't attempting to win an oscar for beautiful prose or cinematography... people need to pull the sticks out of their holier than thou asses. Um, this movie was fantastic.

ACTION, ACTION AND MORE ACTION. all of the interviews at permiers focused on the action of the film. it was that from the beginning to end. Best martial arts film i've seen in a long time. i was tired of characters floating on trees, fighting that resulted in no bones being broken, no blood being spilled no down right kill. yes, the scenes were dark, but do ninjas fight in daylight?? the dark grab is worn to blend into the night. the fight scenes should be fast, that's what ninjas do, move in fast and move out, (if your mind doesn't move along fast enough to keep up, then this is not the film for you) the only thing left is the devastation. This film takes martical arts to the next level for a new generation. oh, hell to all these complainers about scripts, who, with a ounce of wit goes to see a movie called Ninja Assassin and dutifully sits nit picking the script? the name of this film tells u what you’re going to get before you even enter.

TERRIBLE SCRIPT, which should be forgivable because of awesome fight scenes that never appear. The majority of the movie is too dark to and cut too quickly to see what is going on in the fight scenes....when are american directors going to learn how to film a martial arts fight scene. Watch the classics like Jackie Chan, jet lee, and samo hung. Create good fight choreography and let it speak for itself....a great fight scene doesnt need to be cut and edited into half second cuts. Not to mention for a ninja movie they should have spent more time on the ninja and less on idiot "Europol"! WOW….just wow… i went into this movie completely excited only to leave in disappointment.

I've been spurred into action. The movie also makes you very aware of how unprepared you are for the impending ninja takeover. I’ve been spurred into action.
