  • lol, I kept wincing whenever you'd mention the potential for this movie......I enjoyed it, but only has a visualfeast.....

    Still, as always, it's a strong video.

  • looks like TMPC isn't always right

  • Haha...true! Wish this would've lived up to its potential.

  • This movie sucked, there was no story, bad acting, and really stupid plot twists eg: "my heart is on the other side"

  • europol investigator and europol swat team....yeah like they have any of those :F

    hollywood please stop using europol and interpol....they don't have any executive authority

  • Omg, this movie really fucking sucked

  • I saw this film with my guy friends TWICE. We loved it that much. It was pretty much everything you predicted. I thought Rain was amazing! Never a dull moment in this film. Really keeps your attention from beginning to end!

  • Siskel and Ebert FTW

  • Uhhhh Rain did his stunts.

  • If you don't believe me then type Rain Ninja Assassin training and see how hard he works and trained for this movie. He is all over the internet!

  • This movie was so AWESOME!

  • didint saw this yet but my eyes are already bleeding from amount of CGI they used in trailer...

  • MAYBEeee the title emplies assassin of ninjas. get it? like guy assassinating ninjas.

  • i dont care what anyone says, this movie is awsome

  • r u fucking stupid?! that slanny eye kid is tougher than child leonidas?

    fuck that gay rain bitch

  • of course, Rain owns Leonidas. surely for one thing, he got hit on by Megan Fox.

  • NO yOU MORON

    its a ninja killing ninjas therefore he is an assassin killing assassin therefore he is a ninja assassin

  • The best about your critics is that you are so creative and funny.

    In this video i laughed at least 10 times.

    great

  • this is the best ninja movie since ninja scroll... and to those looking for something deeper than what the title suggest then you've got to be deader in the brain... this is a ninja movie simple, not a love story or a samurai movie... A NINJA MOVIE... PERIOD.

  • A film critic should be better educated. You mentioned total garbage ninja movies and if Ninja Assassins is anything like those movies, then I say its garbage too. A small clip from the movie The Last Samurai when ninjas appeared was the way the movie should have been made not like some comic book action hero movie. Even a TV series Shogun was 10 times better. Its a crying shame if film making has come to this. And its even more of a shame for film critics not to know any better.

  • I rather watch the old black and white Japanese movies.

  • cuz you're a pansy. watch ninja assassin and you'll shit your pants when the dudes face falls off

  • the part when you say ninja assassin all the time is so freaking retarded....the first 3 times,k but the whole freaking video.

    Cant watch this to the end.

  • I just came back from it. OMG GREATEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO JOKE!!! Seriously screw the critics and haters. This was a great film for a violent asskicking action packed movie. Yes it has a good story.

  • @goe5

    Its so mindless but at the same time it has depth. I loved it.

  • haha it was still fun to watch with alot of friends :D

  • one ninja gets hurt. . . the rest die

    thats just fucking epic right there

  • The actor pctured above is named Rain and he is from Korea. He is doing this to gain a firm footing into the american market. he is not a "formal" actor. He was a singer before an actor. He is well known in korea for a drama called "Full House". One of his wishes for this movie was to get his own song that was a big hit in korea, "It's raining" by Bi (search it) to be the theme/preview song. But as you can see, it did't work out. Also he sucks at english so... expect deep accent. =)

  • Also there are alot of haters because of all the hate going around for Rain. It's called antifans. He was supposed to have a tour at NYC, CA, and Hawaii but he canceled at the last minute causing multiple law suits over this. So haters existing for Rain is expected. Either way the movie looks okay.

  • good review man theres alota fucking haters out there

  • hes a ninja that assassinates ninjas

  • I think the movie is called Ninja Assassin is because he's hunting down Ninjas.

  • Another great review.

    I hadn't even heard of this movie until this preview review but now I want to see it. Babylon 5 is my favorite sci-fi TV show of all time so that by itself is enough to get me to go. Then when you combine the people behind the Matrix and V for Vendetta its gold in my book.

  • Straczynski recreated Thor The God of Thunder in ways that it made him look real not just the 2 dimmensional hero.

  • Straczynski re-invented Thor! He is AWESOME!! too bad Marvel kicked him out. His Thor was amazing and had a feeling that he was a real Thunder God!

  • Definition of ninja is not assassin.

    Ninja means mercenary..

  • NINJA ASSASSIN!! gunna watch this...

    and i waiting for Avatar Movie Review!! seriously!!

  • Hey TMPC when i first herd about "NINJ ASSASSIN" i thought it was a video game but then i found out it was a movie. After watching your preview review it look awsome and now i want to see it. During the time i was watching your review i was thinking its seem like its a mixes of ninja gaiden and Jet li's unleashed. But it not it's just flat out bad ass oringal idea action movie.

  • I don't think this movie's going to be nearly as good as Batman Begin. The only thin I 'm afraid of is that it looks like they depend a little to much cgi.

  • Well, think about it. If you had to worry about the cgi taking over everything, Ninja Assassin has many scenes that look like they're real, maybe they are, or maybe they're CG, if that's the case, don't worry about it. CGI is perfectly okay with me if it's for backdrop, but if used throughout the film it has no loving heart to it. But just seeing the weapons being made for the action that's pretty okay with me, and the bazooka has to be real, those are real explosions.

    CGI isn't the movie's..

  • ..source of entertainment. You seen District 9? Fuckin' great movie. The CGI used in that was good for its feel of the atmosphere and the one thing you NEVER see much in the animation is how they give it character. You see the aliens' eyes? That's the stuff you respect if you can feel the character in the movie no matter what shape or form. That's the meaning, it's where you can relate and interact in someway with them.

    Though with the CGI used in this for the weapons, it seems fine...

  • ...that's part of the cool factor, but it will not be the pointer that'll limit the expense of character. I trust not just the MPC's reactions to it, unless he was able to illustrate it to be an original film. That's what I'm going to see it for, not the effects, just the story and character and how strong it is. Because I'm a whore to art, and I will not allow the film world to suffer by having itself being at the mercy of H-wood and or Story Corp., or both, and just being a piece-of-crap.

  • Agian I agree pick a name! I do want to see it, but I again agree, I would like to know know more about it... And now I do ^^ thx.

  • Dude you are good!

    perfect amount of humor, I think I'm going to have to check out some more of your stuff

  • This guy is a fucking choad..XD

  • can you do an avatar review next? (not the avatar:the last airbender but the james cameron version).

  • awesome man! gotta say, i kinda wanna see this now.

    and joel silver is a douche. he drives around movie sets in - not a regular golf cart like everyone else - but a special silver, rolls royce lookin' golf cart. douche.

    NINJA ASSASSIN! (18)

  • I have to say, I think you were VERY generous with this one. The whole movie seems clichéd. 'Really good ninja has to kill lesser ninjas and master ninja and save the ninja princess.' That's like the plot for at least 4 Ninja Gaidens, ain't it?

    I mean, it definitely looks good compared to most movies and it's certainly worthy, but it doesn't need a midnight showing unless you're looking for a good bromance movie to sweat testosterone over in the morning.

  • lol NINJA ASSASSIN!

  • Ninjas with bazookas. Is there anything that could make that concept better.

  • Hey thanks for putting this up since I was planning on visiting my brother at Uni around that time and was thinking of things to do with him. He would definitely like this. We're both martial arts movie lovers. :D

  • Great job MPRC....good to see you producing these pieces again. I want to show them in the classes I teach.

  • When i first heard of this movie I thought it was an live action adaptation of the video game Ninja Gaiden, im pleasantly surprised that its not. I want to see this movie because your right ninja's are awesome, but i had no idea that there was talent behind the screen so im even more pumped. I thought it was going 2 be some thrown together movie like that street fighter last year but i was going 2 see it bcuz theres ninjas in it lol. I hope it turns out good we could use some movie hope

  • To be honest when I heard "Ninja Assasin" I thongt it was just another cheesy wanna-be nija movie. Now I'm actually interested in seeing it.

  • Man you are good.. keep it up

  • i know u said about not promoting actors etc etc but sadly i m going to this movies cuz Rain's acting in it and well also because its Ninja Assassin :)

  • The Matrix entered US cinema quietly?!?! I find that hard to believe since in the UK promotion for the movie was EVERYWHERE! (I was 12 and was sad I couldn't see it-was rated 15 in the UK)

  • its the guys who did the matrix isn't it?

  • shut up about the stupid ninja assasins

  • first "sign of movie hope" ive seen yet

  • Great i am really looking forward to your Avater preview review, thanks for telling me when your posting it.

  • I can't wait either. I'm so excited. I think it will make 15-20 million opening weekend.

    I want to see American Ninja

  • NINJA ASSASIN

  • I'm starting to think the GOOD movies come in fall now.. Summer had alot of crap and now that it's fall, i've seen alot of good looking movies. What do you think MPC?

  • three words: Twilight. New. Moon. ...movie doom...

  • agreed..but Twilight isnt all the movies this fall now is it? =/

  • I don't see how this movie will/is pushing boundries it seems like a pretty simple idea. i would doubt it'll have good storyline but who knows.

  • While I do want to see the movie, I think it won't make that much.

    Opening weekend: 6-15 million

    Worldwide: 40-50 million.

    But thats my guess.

  • I didn't mean to put worldwide, I ment before it leaves the theaters.

    WOrldwide: 60-70 million.

  • so you thiink it will flop?

  • Also, (couldn't fit this in the last comment due to word limit), I know I already requested a 'Nightmare' remake preview review, but I can't help myself. I'm humbly requesting a preview review of 'Princess and the Frog.' You know, what with me being a hopeless Disney nostalgic and all.

  • I actually dislike simple titles... a lot. I just dislike it when movies try way to hard to pull you in with a catchy title like "Forbidden Secrets," or... you know... "NINJA ASSASSIN!" =) It's actually one of my own warning signs that I came up with.

    However, after watching this, I'm a little more inclined to find out more about this movie, and perhaps see it. (Though I would lower my standards to a matinee.) See, this is exactly why I subscribe. =)

  • Hell yeah, I've been waiting for a ninja movie to come out forever.. radness!

  • Maybe it's called Ninja Assassin because he assassinates ninjas, making Ninja the acting-adjective in the subject.

  • haha good review....

    NINJA ASASSIN!!!!!

  • hey! had sometime I didn't see you dude!

  • Even if this movie does suck, I applaud the attempt of doing something original. It's going to be a shit ton of action seens, hell yeah. But You can't expect much of a story with NINJA ASSASSIN in the title. But at least is sounds cool. NINJA ASSASSIN!

  • I was mildy curious about this movie to begin with. But now that the scales are tipped I'll give it a chance. Thanks for the review MPC.

  • NINJA ASSASSIN!!!!!!

  • wow mpc, you are making a ton of videos lately, and thats great! thank you for the dedication and hard effort

  • I know...lol...just making up for lost time! Thanks very much for your support!

  • I hope this movie does well, because it's nice to something very orginal and with no name actors for a change. By the way when are you doing your Avater preview review?

  • I thinking the same way...hopefully it lives up to its potential. The Avatar pre-re should be done by November 18th.

  • Saying Ninja Assassin over and over wasn't annoying, but using the logo zoom over and over got there.

  • haha...thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate it.

  • great preview. i didnt even know about the movie till now. i gotta see this one.

    good to see u back

  • Thanks! Appreciate your feedback and support!

  • At first I was curious about this movie, I swear it sounded like a video game deal. But I think I'm sold to know it's pretty original and that it's being collaborated by numerous talented filmmakers.

    I'll be sure to see this on opening night. Ninja Scroll is my favorite anime too, after seeing your Dragonball thing I didn't think you'd be an anime fan, but awesome.

    Let's fight for GOOD movies!

  • Yeah, this one seems like a good movie that's being swept under the red carpet...it needs some attention. And, I do watch anime, but mainly movies, not shows, that's why I wasn't up to speed on Dragonball...too many episodes! I love to watch 90 minute anime stories, just don't have the time for 100 chapter stories.

  • Yeah, I can totally relate...ever heard of Inuyasha?...Oi...and I thought Dragonball Z was stretched out too much, and with complicated characters. I'd catch Dragonball whenever I'd get the chance.

    I keep telling buddies at work "Go see Avatar, Ninja Assassin, hell even see 9 if it's still out!" but they have their constructive views about the movies they think about seeing, plus they have their lives to look at, and mine's making movies.

    Have you seen 9 by the way? I thought it was great.

  • cool review, i had no idea this was coming out, i think i'll deffinetly check it out.

  • you got me on j michael stracynski - babylon 5 was an excellent series, as was its failed spinoff, crusade..

    if JMS wrote this movie, i've got faith it'll be worth a look. go TMPC!

  • thanks for the review ^_^

  • You're welcome! Thanks for the support!

  • I'll be there opening night...

  • NINJA ASSASSIN SUCKS , by the way TMPC why don't you review some independent movies ? or foreign movies

  • Respect for your opinion re:NA....regarding indie/foreign movies....I plan to eventually. Right now I'm working on the bigger releases since those are the ones most advertised and as a result the ones that need the most Movie Truth revelations. If there's Indie/Foreign movies that need attention/respect, I'll review those.

  • well , guess people should understand that hollywood equals bollywood now days and hollywood movies are made for a quick buck , which does not happen with foreign and art cinema ...anyhow TMPC , your work is awesome ...i watch your review all the time before i go to movies ,thanks for reply

  • Well this movie looks pretty good. I'm just afraid that they might not have a decent story and be more of just an action film.

  • I'm hoping the same.

  • you should watch jackie chans new movie the sinjuku incident.

    It has such a epic movie that really touches you in this movie chan jackie chan plays a poor chinese immigrant in japan that is treated like shit

  • NINJA ASSASSIN!

  • Oh I forgot........NINJA ASSASSIN!

  • A Bazooka? Did this film just get better?....Hahaha...I like the way you think MPC

  • Not to meantion J. Michael Straczynski also wrote episodes of THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS

  • You've been really active, MPC, I'm glad of that!

    That movie looks awesome. Planned on seeing it for a while, too ^_^

  • Thanks...I'm gonna try to keep it up :)

  • j.michael also writes a pretty good thor comic

  • This is why I'm Subscribed to you

  • Thanks! Appreciate that!

  • NINJA ASSASSIN

  • I honestly laugh every time I hear this movie's name. I may have to see it though.

  • Despite the somewhat redundant title, I'm pumped to see this!

  • Uhm, Ninjas were more traditionally spies. And very few had 00 Licenses to Kill, 'cuz otherwise they'd get noticed and become useless.

  • LOL Ninja milk man!

    Dude you are way too smart! You talk about things that I never even considered in relation to movies.

  • well i wasn't really happy to see this one, but now im reconsiering

  • I love the NINJA ASSASSIN counter.

    It's kinda like the SHIT counter in south park

  • (O_O) "Wants to see"

  • I really hope you're right. The wachowski brothers haven't let me down yet. I just hope this isn't the one that does it.

  • You know, this actually makes me want to see Ninja Assassin.

  • The "NINJA ASSASSIN!" bits made me lol hard. Keep up the good work mate!

  • great preview review, but the kid from 300 did get whipped and scared, and not for wrong doing just because. i think that's way more badass

  • That does look awesome.

  • I hate to be the first to mention this, but Ninjas aren't just assassins. They were also sent out for sabotage, espionage or reconnaissance missions.

    As for the movie... I don't think I'm gonna be watching it in the theaters... maybe on TV.

    ciao - Vince

  • Yeah, that's true. Ninja were first and foremost stealth warriors who did a multitude of things for their masters. There's even evidence that generally, they didn't even wear anything different from a samurai in combat.

    And I hope this film will be okay. The Wachowskis lost alot of my trust in them after truncation of V for Vendetta.

  • My thought on the title was that he's an Assassin that kills Ninjas now so... Ninja Assassin. Great Preview Review though

  • really u are a genius when it comes to hwood theory

  • So glad to have you back making move previews again! You are an excellent (and funny) critic!  I always look forward to your posts! :3 5/5

  • That movie looks fucking amazing, I will see it.

  • I like when you keep it to a one part video, your insight is great but sometimes it feels like im getting beaten over the head with it.

  • I do too! lol...from now on, unless it's a special vid/series review or something, all preview reviews will be one part, between 7-11 minutes. That means I can make more of em' too!

  • LOL!

    The first 5 seconds of your video you already made me laugh with that "Hitman-Killer" XD

    Awesome.

    Keep it going man,

    Keep it rolling.

  • Thanks very much! I will! More to come!

  • When he said "Ninja Assassin" the 13th time, it really made me laugh, Just the way it was placed and all. I wasn't quite sure about seeing this movie before, but now I'm pretty damn sure I'll be seeing this.

  • Thanks! Really appreciate that!

  • Honestly, I only wanted to watch this movie in the first place because the main character is played by Rain. But, after watching this preview review, I see the potential of the movie itself. Thanks :)

  • Your welcome! Thank you!

  • You rock. You SHOULD have 100,000 subs.

  • :) Thanks, really appreciate that!Hopefully, word will spread movie lover to movie lover. All in good time :) I'm just gonna keep caring about movies and whatever happens, happens. Thanks for your support!

  • Y know thank you MPC for still doing these vids even though your personal life is hard. Your a hard worker and AWSOME.

  • Really appreciate that! Feedback like yours is what makes it worth the effort!

  • lol. You really like the title don't you? I personally can't wait to see this movie. It has ass kickery written all over it in blood.

  • lol...I do, it's just so blatant and fun.

  • Ok, I'm not saying my English's perfect or anything, but does "ninja assassin" necessarily mean a ninja? Because at first I thought it means a person who assassinates ninjas.

  • !!! That's a great point! I've been locked into thinking he's a "ninja" and "assassin"...but, it could also mean he's an "assassin" of "ninjas"...this title just got deep!

  • :) Thank you.

    Good luck with your next reviews.

  • This title does mean a ninja who assassinates other ninjas which make him the best ninja of all of them..yessss

  • I could not help but laugh every time when you said NINJA ASSASSIN in the review it never got old, This does seam to be shown only at night when ever they do show trailers its at night but hardly shown thanks to 2012.

    I am looking forward to this but I would love to hear your possible review of Blood The Last Vampire a live action movie based on the anime movie of the same name it is out on DVD but had a very limited theaters show it like 5 or 10, I would like to hear your thoughts on it

  • I have to admit. This movie has caught my attention.

    Those ninja stars scenes instantly made me think of Ninja Scroll when I saw the previews.

  • 7:10 Ghost in the shell looks hawt... I gotta go check it out!

    *byoom*

  • i enjoys your videos. Are u going 2 do a movie review for the live action Tekken movie.

    P.s Would u reupload the rest of your AvP review

  • ya movie hope!!!!!!!!!!!

  • An original idea? I'm buying my ticket right now.

  • Woah, I didn't even hear about this movie until I wathced this PR.

  • I want a ninja milkman.

    D:

  • Hmm, NINJA ASSASSIN looks like it might be a pretty good movie. I might have to check out NINJA ASSASSIN.

    p.s.: I want a NINJA MILKMAN to deliver my milk.

  • Hey TMPC have you ever seen The 1979 film The Warriors?, it is a great movie. Or what about an AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON

  • Yes and Yes and I'm a fan of both movies..."Warriors, come out to paa-lay-ee-yay..."

  • i must see this movie they caught my attention at Asian Ninja and hooked me with the sheer balls to the wall ninja matrix awesomeness

  • that ninja assasin thing was annoying, otherwise, good review

  • NINJA ASSASSIN!

  • Wow, an american ninja martial arts movie that actually has asian people in it! Can't wait!

  • haha....nicely said!

  • Comment removed

  • I love Chinese Ghost Ninja !! you should check it out!!

  • Ninja Milkman!

  • Ninja Assassin!!! ding~~~~18

  • lol

  • the "NINJA ASSASSIN"-joke was funnier in the second half. less is more :)

  • Good advice!

  • NINJA ASSASSIN.

    Now, you're making me say it.

  • haha...

  • Wait. TMPC watches anime?

    ... DAMN!

  • Absolutely! Love it!

  • Holy shit, TMPC responded to my comment.

    Holy shit, TMPC loves anime!

    Holy shit, NINJA ASSASSAIN!

    But seriously, this review just made my Vets. Day. Have you checked out anime like NGE of Azumanga Daioh? The former is more darker in tone and make you question all sorts of things, and the latter is just plain, well, funny.

    Anyway, nice review, dude.

  • man ur at it again ;) nice

  • No more messing around!

  • The "Ninja Assassin" gag is repetitious and annoying, dude... sorry.

    But the movie looks like it could be good because of your review!

  • :) Thanks! Respect your truthful feedback! I kinda felt like it was on the edge of either funny or annoying....good to know for future reference!

  • I can totally see how people can see it as annoying, but I found it hilarious.

    Love the new videos coming out. Very timely.

    NINJA ASSASSIN! (so much fun to say.)

  • JMS also wrote for "The Real Ghostbusters" animated series in the 1980's. And been writing for both Marvel and DC Comics in recent years on such titles as Amazing Spider-Man, Thor, and DC's The Brave and The Bold (not the cartoon).
