  • This is by far the worst action and martial arts film ever. The story sucked because in one scene when he was being sliced up and fell off the building they didn't show how he even survived and recovered from those injuries. The fight scenes were way too short, the girl gets stabbed by that long ass sword and survives? Also how does one goes from being a cold blooded killer to all of a sudden being this kind hearted hero without guidance? The movie had no kind of substance.

  • @Bossdog05 THEN YOU SERIOUSLY WERE NOT WATCHING THE MOVIE THEN

  • Critics rated Twilight The Moon at 4/5, wen i watched it, i almost felt asleep. It was a total waste of time n i hated my gf for taking me to such a shit movie.

  • good movie... its trailer

  • This dude is an asshole

  • i think it's hilarious when the critics get ahold of this movie they rip it to shreds, but when the AUDIENCE gets to have their say, it's amazing! haha

    i fucking loved this movie! 4/4!

  • There definitely isn't much substance to this movie, but goddamn, the action scenes are really cool. If you just want a brainless, violent film...this is your movie.

  • i just wish the fight scenes were shot with more style that couldve been better seen, like old martial arts action films from the 80s, 70s and 90s were like, the movie was WAAAYYY too serious and there were NO characters, everybody had NO personality the 70% of the movie were relentless FLASHBACKS!!!!

  • i just wish the fight scenes were shot with more style that couldve been better seen, like old martial arts action films from the 80s, 70s and 90s were like

  • If the actors in this movie were all white americans he would he rate it 10 out of 10... jezus -.-

  • To the peep who think this movies is suck. Go and watch your stupid spiderman,Twilight,etc...that are fiction, at least asian make movies that happen in real life...most hollywood movies got some idea from asian. 

  • If you are non-asian of course you gonna think asian can't act cause you are a bunch of moron who don't respect other race, and another thing is I noticed hollywood always put main asian actor with black actress don't yal notice it?I mean I'm not racist or anything but it seem like white actress only good enough for white actor.

    p.s I watch other movies who play by only white and they're acting is sooooo bad can't act piece of shit is so annoying.

  • Useless dumbass reviewer. Series movies like what? Shakespeare in love? GTFO

  • yeah, they're the oldest assassin clan in history, and the leader was lecturing in "English" and you pay them 100 "Pounds" of gold to kill?

  • That's one snob critic...

  • reminds me of NInja Gaiden

  • he is hate-ing , b/c he is nt a ninga , ! ! ! nd nt as sexy , nd strong , nd loveing , nd sweet , person , as dat man who help dat black lady ,* the ex ninga * : )

  • @destinyful100 wtf did u just say?

  • sickest ninja movie ever...and that's cumming from a guy who grow up in love with ninja muvie's in the eighties. i luv that they used my boy Sho Kosugi.

  • how the hell was this movie silly...haha it was fucking sick.

  • bagus banget..

  • This movie was simple...a young man trained to be an assassin defects from his clan nd uses Europol for revenge against the clan leader. Is it really that hard to make sense of? And of course it's uber violent, "Ninja Assassin" the fucc was he expecting, a Peanuts special?

  • OK. My sister dragged me to watch this the other night. Now mind you when it came out I was like WTF it looks stupid; however, watching this movie the other night I became a HUGE RAIN fan. I think he is FINE as HEll and I can tell you that I do not say that often about Asian Men ( no offense). I did not know he was a HUGE mega star oversea. He has talents in both acting and danciing. I would love to see him do a major cross over to the US. I think he could pull it off with the right publicity.

  • Screw this guy ! This movie was the SHIT !

  • i hate rotten tomatoes(the website)

    senserely.

  • It was a little over the top gory kind of i guess, but i liked it. i would give it 3/4

  • If you're a Martial arts movie fan like me, the real reating for this movie is a strong 3 out 4 stars. The story does make sense unlike what is said on the review.

  • @doyouridetheshortbus yup! lil story made perfucked sense man and the flick was ill...period.

  • If you're a Martial arts movie fan like me, the real reating for this movie is a strong 3 out 4 stars. The story does make sense unlike what is said on the review.

  • If you're a Martial arts movie fan like me, the real reating for this movie is a strong 3 out 4 stars. The story does make sense unlike what is said on the review.

  • all in all,ninja assassin was a good movie.way better than i expected it to be,good acting n the story was decent.the fight scenes were well done,some cgi but it was still entertaining so who cares.i'd give it an 8/4,anyone who says it sucked obviously wouldnt know a good movie if one bit them in the ass.

  • "special heart" hahahaha this movie was stupid....

  • i love action movies but this was one of the biggest peace of shits i saw last year

  • Please comment on my film review at: retardboy . co . uk

  • i give it 7/10 overall but the action scenes 9/10

  • Man this movie sucked ass WTF is wrong with todays generation thinking this is good action...man...CORNY ACTORS WEAK ACTION SCENES , CGI fight scens = FAIL!!!

  • this fag talks shit about john woo???? fuck him!!! i love chinese and japanese films...american movies are fucking stupis now days! all about cgi and money making!

  • Comment removed

  • @zxzrp0 yeah americans like YOU are the ones who make EVERY american ashamed because you think non-americans, especially asians in this case, are your races' inferior. damn, you've just made me a kind of racist myself, thanks so much.

  • @Octopussycaterpillar So sorry for the missunderstanding. I am not racist. When I say Americans I dont mean White people, I am not white. Asian Americans are good actors and there is very good actors from all parts of the world. This movie in particular got high ratings for no reason. No offence, its just bad acting.

  • #FTW Zero Cost Movies . com #OMG has this

  • Still the best ninja movie Ive ever seen..

  • So many fanboys -_-'

    In terms of action I found it quite satisfying but, dissapointingly, the gore became incresingly tame the further the movie progressed. The penthouse scene at the beginning is, in my opinion, the best scene in the entire movie; offering everything we could want in a balls-to-the wall action movie about ninjas.

    Story-wise, I believe NA could have done without Mika and her criminal investigation and focused more on Raizo's story, since the former felt weak and half-baked.

  • Best Action movie I have ever seen... I love the action in it, I love the storyline, and I love the atmosphere of the entire movie. You will not be disappointed if you watch this movie.

  • @dgk990 of course and I love Rain, sweat blood and all.. lol

  • lots of blood in this film and if theres ever a TENCHU movie it better be like this

  • this movie was just good ninja action

    i didn't expect much more than an entertaining, gory ninja flick

  • you guys are huge fanboys. his review was completely unbiased going into it. he said if you go into it just looking for action, it will satisfy. critics like good plots in action movies cause it motivates the action and makes them feel for the protagonist. I'm not saying the movie was bad. just that pure action can be shallow

  • THIS GUY IS A RETARD!!!!!!!!!!!! 2.5/4 stars? Nypost should fire this asshole. Ninja Assasin 6/4 :D

  • Kyle Smith, YOUR ridiculous...I give you 1/2 star for giving this movie a bad review

  • the whole story isn't hard to understand, the viwer is basicly stepping into the world ninjas. if you studyed the culture of the Ninja you'll get the movie better, the action is over the top kick ass and it's giving a better view of a Ninja's skills other movies and show don't take yoou deep enough into the life of a ninja. never listen to critics.

  • I think that the plot was underemphasized, but the actual action, stunt movements, and choreography are really astounding. Especially with using very little to none at all technical equipment to rely on, it was all human talent and Rain proved himself to be a person with amazing capabilities, he wowed me with his training and dedication. Plot needed a little work, but the action was kickass, best I've seen in a long time for action sequences.

  • When I want to see an action/horror film I could care less about how much blood is spraying. It seems people are criticizing this movie way too hard. There is no such thing as too much action in a ACTION MOVIE! The movie had more to it than just blood splatter. I wonder if this guy ever watched a ninja or samurai film. Anime even! I don't even know what critics are criticizing anymore

  • NY POST ur stupid hypocrite critic

    asian movies aren't full bs stunts. thats what i will pay for to watch an "action" movie

    american with strings and rules

    stupid stupid stupid

    western=guns.. and bar style fights..

    no arts in action fighting movies.

    and you mentioned john woo?

    he helped your stupid american movies in enchancing the fighting stunts for a cooler look.

    go compare and full western white ninja movie to asian ninja directed movie...

  • best movie ever it was 300 with ninjas >:O

    who ever reviewed this needs a kick the the NUTS

    or better yet

    FALCON PAWNCH

    movie should get at least 4/5 stars

  • There was really no storyline... which killed the movie pretty much... The action was really good...

  • Why do I get the feeling most critics hate action movies? I haven't seen it (it's so gory my mom certainly won't let me), but the fight clips released are phenomenal & the story appears to be halfway decent.

  • GO FUCKING WATCH YOUR OLD MEN crap AS IF WE CARE ABOUT NEW YORK POS

  • It is sad that reviewers wont give this movie the props it deserves. The action and violence is EASILY on par with any Quentin Tarantino film

  • The main focus was the action, blood, and violence. But beyond all that was a very good storyline which made perfect sense :)

  • Kyle yur an idiot!

  • 2 1/2 stars outta 4??

    this guy's nuts.

    i think its safe to say that everyone gives this movie a 5 outta 4.

  • i saw the movie and i think the creators gave the same amount of time to the story as the action i gave this movie a 10 out of 10

    just to say bets action movie/ninja movie i have ever seen the blood lokes very real and the only thing that is fake is the shadows and if theres alot of blood flying around some of the blood is fake to save money i have no idea what this critic is thinking

    if you want to see a movie that really deserves to get bashed on was the wicker man now that was a bad movie

  • It had a great plot/story, amazing effects, no bullshit stunts, only effects on blood/shadows, most violent movie ever made, best Ninja movie ever made, and best action movie ever made, and now you haters are thinking "What? No it fucking isn't!: But it is, AMAZING Martial Arts, 0% NO/ZERO bullshit jumps/kicks/stunts, a little mythical twist added with the shadows and healing, and of course NINJAS, fucking amazing movie TEN out of TEN motherfuckers!!!!!!!!! The action is unbelievable...

  • When it comes to action and martial arts films, why would anyone watch them MAINLY for the storyline? I (and many action fans will agree) go for the action. If you want to just focus on the storyline then watch a drama. Plain and simple. True enough the story was a little weak, but who cares?! The fight scenes were great! Now I do think the film should have just focused on his fight for freedom. The whole government thing was a bit off to me.

  • is it rain?

  • @silentgoodhrm Yes you idiot

  • this review is just plain inaccurate and sounds like he has a grudge. It was a great movie..and this is coming from someone who rarely watches any action movies. Kyle has no idea what he's talking about -.-

  • i didn't watch this movie yet, but this guy doing the review sounds harsh,like seriously,he's more like dissing the movie than actually giving unbiased thoughts about it.he sounds mad at the Asian heritage for some reason.may be he got kicked in the nuts when he was in high school by some martial artist Asian kid back in elementary school cause he had the same old ridiculous attitude back then! wouldn't be surprised if he got fired for making such a horrible review of such a good looking movie!

  • Not a very good review...

  • this movie was epic

  • the movie was 10 out of 10 solid and pure bad-ass and for those who think it sucked you can lick on some donkey culo.

  • this movie fucking sucked....omg what a waste of time

  • I thought it was good

    The plot/script was just decent, could have had more work into it. I felt that there was no need for Europol to be in this, but it did add some action into it such as the warehouse fight scene.

    The action was very well done though. All the fight scenes were very entertaining and exciting.

    Jeong Ji Hoon ~ fighting!

  • HEY Kyle Smith ... you better go find another job :) your review sucks and you don't know anything about movies ^^ Maybe a pizza delivery job will be convenient for you.

    Ninja Assassin is a great movie... People who don't aknowledge movies like Ong Bak/Ninja assassin are so boring :)

  • awesome movie loved it

  • Saw this movie with my girlfriend. It was hard not to laugh at some of the scenes. The acting was horrible, the plot made little sense, and the action was hilarious. My girlfriend was laughing so hard she was crying.

    Everyone in the theater was laughing. It was funnier than The Hangover.

  • @Eriefire LOL

  • I wasn't expecting any plot to this at all, there isn't much but it's solid.

    This movie was plain fun to watch.

  • this guy is so stuck up i went to see this movie it is a must see! i give it 5 stars for the action!

  • If you like action movies, then you won't regret after watching it.

  • Bad review. Good movie. The reviewer needs to get his head out of his ass.

  • The worst Ninja movie I have ever seen.

  • When I want to see an action/horror film I could care less about how much blood is spraying. It seems people are criticizing this movie way too hard. There is no such thing as too much action in a ACTION MOVIE! The movie had more to it than just blood splatter. I wonder if this guy ever watched a ninja or samurai film. Anime even! I don't even know what critics are criticizing anymore.

  • The movie made perfect sense. However, they could've done without the fake blood bursts. Would've been a far better movie to keep the cuts more realistic. And Sho Kosugi was by far the best choice as the Master.

  • I saw it i f ing love this movie!!

  • Naomie Harris

  • was this guy not paying attention to the movie they were trying to kill him for betraying them the other people just got in the way and they don't half ass they go booth cheeks

  • @MrTheone77 i agree with you. this guy is just a dumbass i dont even know why the hell he calls himself a film critic.

  • i wouldnt care for the movie.. i love action!! MUAHAHA

  • that guy looks and sounds like my dushy spanish teacher

  • I dunno, this movie didn't really seem like it was made for people that like a deep story. I think it was made for people who like action, ninjas, gore, and elaborate fight sequences and no one else. In this respect, it has succeeded fantastically.

  • I'd give this movie a 2.5 out of 5. Very disappointed with this one.

  • Great movie 5/5. Rain was a great actor in this movie. Man imagine how many ninjitsu trainers and stuntmen were involved

    for each of the sets in the film.

    I watched the movie at watchmovieonlinenow. com

  • the movie was ok... it was the bloodiest movie i've ever seen LOL Rain did a pretty good job.. kicking ass

  • This movie was great, but I thought the story was somewhat cheesy here and there. The ending had me in awe (NO SPOILERS TO ANYONE)

  • Who the fuck cares about the story? The main stars of the show are the Ninjas and the action scenes, It deserves at least a 3.

  • one of the main reasons why i went to go see this movie was because of Rain and the Wachowski Bros.

    but to be honest, i walked in with not much expectations at all... boy was I blown away!

    this movie deserves more than 2 stars. at least 3.5 or something. Like most people said, the story line needs a little more work. there are blank spots in the story that needs filling.

    but the overall action and fight scenes was pretty amazing. i would definitely pay to watch this movie again.

  • to be honest the only good thing about this movie is the action. The storyline is weak the acting is weak. I'm the type of person that don't just look for action, it has to have a good storyline to it, so i give it 2 stars out of 4.

  • the comments here are more interesting than the video clip lol

  • i've already watched this and I have to agree with most of the people who liked the movie. it's a NINJA movie and possibly the best NINJA movie I've ever seen since TMNT. and for keeping it real... damn this is the closest thing to being real as the ninja's here use ninja weapons and skills and none of that ninja fireball-summon elemental-ninja copy stuff that makes the other ninja's laughable. you gotta be brain dead to be looking for something deeper in this movie.

  • At first I did not like just because it was so very gory. But later on thinking about it I have to agree with you the violence does make sense considering this was a ninja movie. The action scenes were very well done too.

  • this shit is a fucking 10 out of 4 u asshole u dont even know GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!

  • typical ridiculous nonsense that is the new york post

  • Your review sucks. It is a guys movie and it is really good

  • kayle smith you are a fool

  • This movie was really great! Real action plus the bloody scenes = 10! Bi Rain is one hot ass Korean.

  • wtf is this guy talking about, this movie was CRAZY!!!!! NINJA ASSASSIN ..the title speaks for itself, of course its goign to be full of action you fucking retard. everyone in the threatres loved it

  • They shouldve kept it more realistic...

  • This movie was better than I had expected. People who hate it, I'm sorry but remember this is a ninja movie, expect a lot of killing. The killing scenes were GREAT very believable. Thats pretty much what happens to someone who get knife wounds. My favorite parts were of the throwing stars. Most others just throw a couple, but this one man, it was like a a throwing star machine gun. CG just enhanced the visibility of the throwing stars. The black girl pretty convincing she looked prettty scared.

  • this movie was insane

  • u didnt like this movie cuz anybody can clearly tell that ur not into these kinds of movies, therefore ur rating = shitless.

  • THIS MOVIE WAS TEH MSEX

    SO GO SUCK IT IF YOU DONT LIKE IT

    lol

    sorry it was awesome

    the storyline was alittle weak yea

    but who cares if it makes sense or not

    its called "NINJA ASSASSIN" for a reason plus Rain was awesome and lee joon oyu gotta give props to them anyways comapring this to twlight new moon really you shouldnt doo it because this movie is better anyways THE ONLY REASON! why people like it cuz of the book but they ruined that its mostly psycho girls tis movie was teh smex okay?

  • the majority are girls who are in love with a freaking fictional ugly ass vampire really shouldn't talk shit unless you know what you're saying

  • lol?

  • Some people see movies for comedy, and some see movies for horror. Some people don't like it to bloody, and some do. Basically what i'm saying is, this guy went in already thinking the movie was going to be silly, or so it seems. I thought it might be, and then one day i was sitting at my house and said to myself 'wait. How can a movie about ninjas be silly?' So I gave it a shot, going in hoping for an epic ride, and this movie delivers. Who cares if it makes sense. Its a movie about ninjas.

  • MAN!! F__K THE Critics they are old hags that like drama movies like twilight, This MOVIE WAS AWSOME!!!!!

  • well I think I will like this movie since NYPOST don't like it much .. lol

  • i liked this movie a lot. but it is a little bloody hahaha. Main character Rain is soo hot. <3

  • too bloody,,

  • fuck you dude that movie was asome and it did have a meaning

  • Ninja Assasin was way more entertaining to watch than New Moon, yet it gets bad reviews. New Moon was a god awful film altogether but yet they want to talk shit about this movie. This shit makes no sense whatsoever.

  • Comic book intellect and pop cultural mentality have no business making movies about such topics. They could have made an epic movie dealing with real assassins in a real Japanese samurai drama, with real class and style. But this is what happens when kids make movies. I can't wait to see it for myself to really trash it.

  • oh a ninja expert are you? your probably one of scottbiosisdeads fanboys

  • they would give ie 2.5 stars. there was only 2 things wrong with this movie. 1) the black girl didnt die. and 2) the black girl interrupted the last fight. other than that, great movie.

  • I liked the movie I'll give it a 8/10 since the story wasn't that good. The action was nice, the last fight I didn't like.

  • i think it deserves a 3 1/2 stars.

  • This movie was great! and a nice break if your trying to escape the Twilight-fest that's going on right now!

  • What a useless review.

  • @perciusmercius agreed. he didnt even give any supporting points.

  • I saw this movie today and I loved it

  • this dude must be retarded to not understand the plot, buddy lay down that crack pile u been smoking. Btw the review is horrible lol i would kule smith watch his own review and see how bad it is rofl

  • 10/10 go watch it but if ur a pussy then dont go otherwise you'll crap yourself thats how sick is it. Bloods every where this make Saw look like it should be on disney channel lol

  • noob lol rofl fag lol noob

    action movie gtfo noob rofl fag lol noob

    But yeah, it's an action movie, it wasn't advertised as being anything other than a balls to the wall action movie. fail.

  • This movie was awesome...and Rain is sooooo sexy... what? I said it! ;)

  • I'm Kyle Smith, and I suck at reviewing movies.

    Lol this guy has no energy or voice or anything.... and its probably the most brief review I've ever witnessed. "This movie was ridiculous, but ok for action lovers." Thanks, Kyle, thanks.

  • Man i SOO HAAPY..there was no american actor staring the lead role in this ..remember the f&%Kery of a movie called american ninja ? That pretty much killed off ninja movies ..UNTIL RAIN and those matrix dudes brought this one to lights.

    Leave martial arts to Asians (F%$K Jason S.) .. white actors should stick with guns. Black actions actors..just simple T.O.T.F.W

  • Hey now don't knock on Joe The American Ninja! That movie was a classic. it proves anyone can be a ninja so long as you have it in your heart to train hard! Without that movie Ninja assassin wouldn't be made cause American ninja made a lot of ninja fans!

  • TOTFW???

  • this movie rocks if you like the old school ninja movies like jimkata and ninja sruff go see it it rulesssss

  • dude no this movie doesn't have the old school feel at all. Too much CGI! if you want classic go See Ninja with leading man Scott Atkins!

  • It wasn't a let down thats for sure. Sure the movie wasn't Star Wars, but it was great. I loved it.

  • NO, it wasn't star wars, I started watching star wars tonight and uhh.....let's just say I had a nice nap.

  • This Movie IS THE BEST!

  • It looks alright

  • i have a feeling ninjas will be paying u a visit soon kyle smith, however ninjas are very fair so they will most likely just give you those two and a half stars back. In your neck.....

  • it really depends which type. korean ninjas or Japanese?

  • this is a action movie for god sake...if u wan good storyline go read a story book instead

  • I saw the movie. The movie has numerous fights scenes, people being dismembered and blood being splattered everywhere. The background story was thin but hey if you want an action movie it was great. I would not recommend this movie for young kids. The actor Rain was fantastic in the fight scenes.

  • he's more of a dancer then actor.

  • wow ! it s amazing Crimeson Witcher ! i suppost to look for Your Name in My Old Mail but You are Here in front of Me ! You that Vietnamese Crazy Lady she So Up Set Her Husband because So Poor may be i don ' t know but She told Her Friend Anh Dao - this Anh Dao used to Come to My Store and She said She heard " Story " and She really scare to Marry to Amerian ..

  • Please read this Crim Wit : when I visit Him and brought something for Him but Not for Her - that 's why She have Too Much reason to dislike me And I don' t care ..

  • @swordstainet

    You saw it? Or are you pre-judging it?

    Fights look badass.

    Can a movie really have too many ninja?

  • kyle smith is a sissy little girl

  • Its obvious to tell that Rain did a hard work and great job for this movie. It was one of great action movie. More than I expected and my family enjoyed too. Reviews are always stingy.

  • wtf?! this dude doesnt know shit about movies. ninja assassin is genius! rain did an amazing job! and its definetly on the top of my list of best action movies. so u can go fuck yourself kyle smith.

  • @Shayanderson5

    Way to tell it like it is.

  • the story wasnt the best but it was still good. this dude is saying it doesnt make sense. but it did. he just had numerous flashbacks that filled in the story throughout. this kyle dude isnt good at his job is all

  • Agreed, the story wasn't too good but over the movie would be alright but I've been hearing bad reviews and some fans give it too good of a review that it's hard to believe. I've heard some people even laugh at the movie cause some parts were really dumb but I'll see it on video. If you don't want to take a ninja movie to serious and want the 80's feel go watch Ninja with Scott Atkins! So what if he's white. Anyone with the heart can be a ninja!

  • or u can watch chinese super ninja. that a classic

  • 2 star?
