    Ninja Assassin, I think the title says it all. We have an age old fraternity Ninjas in modern day Berlin. There are flashbacks somewhat reminiscent to the TV show Kung Fu where we relive the monastery years at the Ninja Assassin School. It is Kwai Chang Caine ramped up on ster...( read more)oids.
    The movie tries to come off as a real movie in that in between the action scenes it is not just a cheesy kung fu movie. In that way it holds up well. The acting is solid and the dialogue is fine. The characters are ok and the story works.

    It does seem to turn into a different movie when we get to the action. The carnage is filled with squirting blood and cleanly sliced body parts. The Ninjas are fast and super human as they have learned deep secrets of the mystical clan of which they belong. Our lead Ninja is the strong silent type going rogue after being disillusioned by his master. He is finally able to push past the brainwashing of his youth and become his own man.

    I guess I?m saying this movie is ok if you like this sort of thing. The fight scenes are done well but the bloodshed gets into comic book world, when it comes to martial arts that is just personal taste. If you want action this movie has it. Of course you get the huge power packed ending, which still comes down to the classic battle of good versus evil. And the winner is?

    This is a bloody and violent movie. If you have seen kill bill, I would judge it similar according to the violence and blood but the story line was better for me. It was a cool ninja movie for me just don't tell me if ninja clans exist. I do not want to know! I would prefer to li...( read more)ve!!!

    Ninja assassin is one of those films that has a decent idea behind the storyline, but it swerves to the opposite and becomes a bad movie. However, this film isn't all that terrible. The action sequences are well shot, choreographed and it look great on screen. Rain does a good jo...( read more)b playing Raizo and his physique is perfect for this character. Moreover, the flashback that show Raizo's training as a child and adolescent help give an inside view of this intriguing character past. Now the bad part of this film.

    My biggest problem with this movie was the secondary characters. We have no clue why Naomie Harris's character is so into finding these secret Ninja associations that assassinate people. I believe that the addition of agent Mika Coretti(Naomie Harris) was useless. If this movie would have only followed Raizo from begging to end, without these stupid additional characters, the movie would have been much more interesting and more fun.

    To finish, i personally would recommend this movie only if you have nothing else to do and want to just see a movie where people are losing limbs and blood gushing everywhere. If this is not the case do not go waste your money on this one.

    everything about this film was just ALMOST average: acting, action scenes, and plot. but the editing felt too random at some points. and seriously, it could have used terribly better dialogue.

    Ninja Assasin is completely unrealistic and wildy improbable, yet excites you. Packed with tricked out fight scenes, and tons of blood this is one movie that lives up to its name. Despite the lack of an interesting storyline, the visual effects will keep you watching throughout ...( read more)the movie. Not for kids.

    I was expecting so much more from the people behind this film, but I was let down in that. It was no Matrix or V for Vendetta. The ninja action was great (except the CGI) Blood, but other than that, eh.

    I went with 2 of my friends to see this movie and we pretty much made fun of the movie from beginning to end. I think we were just doing it to amuse each other because to be honest I didn't think this was as bad as I was expecting, sure I didn't think it was good but it was ok f...( read more)or what it was, it's just a very corny and cheesy action movie. It's definitely over-the-top and the first scene had me wondering if whoever directed this movie had seen some of Takashi Miike's more over-the-top movies because it just reminded me of some of his movies. But this one isn't as disgusting as some of Miike's films are, and I mean that as a compliment to Mr. Miike. To be honest, this movie tries to not be a mindless action movie. It tries to have a story but honestly the story is an absolute mess. Something about 2 russian guys being killed and 9 clans. That's all I got from it. The action scenes were good, they were nicely choreographed and very bloody, even if the blood was highly stylized (and sort of lame). SIn City did stylized violence the best, in my opinion. Rain was pretty decent in his role and he came across as somewhat of a badass even if his character was sort of a pansy (as my friend said) and even if he's a famous pop singer in Korea, I think he definitely did a decent job and while the crossover may not have worked, I think he could definitely succeed in the future. That's about it, it's an average movie. It's got some good over-the-top action scenes but overall it's just a somewhat entertaining cheesy movie.

    Where the hell was the action? This movie made D-War look good in comparison. The only good thing was the opening scene. That's it.

    Blood and gore galore! But it's not that hard to watch. I've been through much worse. If you survive the first scene, then you're good. And looking at the "artistic" blood, it's obviously coming from the same vein (no pun intended) as V for Vendetta.

    But if you're not a fan of n...( read more)inja, gore, or action movies in general, don't watch it, because you are getting zilch from the storyline. zip, nada.

    I actually laughed when I learn that they rewrote the script a few weeks before filming. I was like, "Oh, now that explains a LOT."

    and I've come to a sad realization, that Asian superstars like Rain/Bi, no matter how good of an actor, will have to do a martial arts film just to cross over to America. it's so steorotypical isn't it? When he is capable of so much better roles. (Watch "I'm a Cyborg, but It's OK.")

    It's a harsh reality.

    to conclude, If you're going to watch this movie, do so without any shred of expectation. This will be the only way you will enjoy the movie, and watch it with friends who will bash it with you. I assure you it will be fun.

    Ah wait! Watch it for Rain's abs too. XD
