I just saw.... no, that's the wrong word... i just survived through Ninja Assassin.
The strong moral lesson that this movie will teach you.. is that Ninjas WILL KILL THE SHIT OUT OF YOU, SON. DONT MESS WITH THEM.
it's a mediocre script directed by a mediocre director... it's biggest virtue is that it aims at being a cult action movie... it's biggest problem is that it forgets to have lots of fun along the way. oh and forgetting to write memorable characters... and a story that isnt incredibly linear and predictable. .a few good touches here and there remind you that this was written by j michael straczynski afterall. (Creator/Writer of Babylon 5 and many good comic books)... but overall it's not the most memorable action flick out there... needed more humor and stronger directing. a few OTT scenes in the end arent as "awesome" as intended and they just fall flat... In quite a few scenes, stellar stuntwork is cut up to pieces by poor editing and directing.. shame.
Rain and Naomi Harris are decent leads... cant wait to see her in "Skyfall".
A few cool sequences here and there are quite lovely.. and the opening! OMG the opening sequence.. awesomesauce
Fun but not memorable... it actually left me thirsting to watch Undisputed 3, again
now THAT was a truly awesome action flick with fun, memorable characters X)
