Boredom & a promise to my wife to go to the movies after a long day of slaving away in the kitchen led me to the local multiplex this evening where we decided to see Ninja Assassins. Being a fan of chambara and silly martial arts films, we figured that this would be a fun time.

Fuck that! While there were some entertaining & bloody fight sequences, overall this movie was a useless wormy pile of shit! Remember that Ultimate Power website devoted to preteen Ninja worship? This movie could have been written by those kids- except that with those kids there was a tounge-in-cheek element of humor.

This movie was exceptionally pointless, and unbelievably stupid. Unintentionally funny at moments, but not enough to warrant paying good money to see this. Avoid this film -it will give you cancer, hit on your sister and insult your Grandma.

What a piece of badly written crap! Honestly, I wanted to yell at the screen during the movie, then wanted to beat on people as I walked out of the theater after it was finished.

Still, since it came down to a choice of this of that vampire movie, seeing this one was - I suppose - the lesser of two evils!

I just read the synopsis at IMDb and it sounds utterly ridiculous. Ludicrous. Pathetic and stupid beyond silliness.

why didn't you go see "the road"? that movie looks waay better than most other crap out right now...i'm planning on checking it out sometime this weekend.

EDIT: well, never fucking mind. talk about limited release: not even playing within 50 miles of my neck of the woods.:confused:

Wow. Sorry to hear that. I loved the ninja movies of the 80's, such as the Sho Kosugi movies or the American Ninja series, & was hoping for a return to that innocent level of cheesy silliness.:(

Dude, I dig that old cheese, but this film was so far below those in quality. Awful!

I so much would have preferred The Road, but it happened to not be playing at the theater we went to. In retrospect, I should have chosen Precious except the subject matter seemed more depressing than what we were seeking
