Movie Review: Revenge of The Ninja
Summary: 2 Stars
I remember these movies from the 80s (my teenage years), and remember that I really loved them. I vaguely remembered some really slick fighting techniques, along with some supernatural elements as far as Ninja powers being passed-off to unsuspecting everyday joes, and the ninja secret (as well as its implements of destruction) being kept in a cave somewhere in the foothills of Southern California... Well, I was wrong. The first Ninja movie (Enter the Ninja) was so stupid and corny, I couldn't even watch it and, thankfully, had nothing whatsoever to do with the other two. The second one was not much better. It was much less slick and polished than I remember, had a lot of the same cornball stuff that was in the first one, and only a hint (albeit in a cornball way) of the supernatural element that I thought I remembered. The third one, though the most luducrous story-wise, is probably the best. It has the slickest production values, as well as the most cold-hearted brutal ninja-style killings that we all bought these movies for to begin with.Movie Review: Why was this movie ever made?
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't even know were to start. Coming from a person who likes action films such as: Die Hard, Face off, Hard Boiled, and the Killer; has an anime collection that includes: Baki Grappler, Shura No Taki, Fist of the North Star, and Full Metal Alchemist; enjoys martial arts films and series which include: Naruto, Dragonball Z, Last Hurrah for Chivalry, most Jet Li films, and Ong Bak; and myself being a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and also practice ninjutsu I can honestly tell you that this movie in 100% terrible. The movie starts out well with a good plot, but you are immediately turned away by stupid tactics used by the ninjas in this film who appear out of nowhere and jump into the middle of the screen completely visible to everyone around them are not tactics used by ninjas. Even though a lot of people die in this movie, it still sucks; which you can conclude from the very first fight. The story could be interesting, but very few camera angles make it hard to produce authentic fighting scenes, in which you can actually see that people are completely missing each other with their attacks, and none of the fighting scenes would rate no higher than a 1 on my scale from 1-100. Having bought this movie dirt cheap, I can say that I'm glad I saved money while it was on sale. This movie was a complete waste of my time. I wanted to return the movie to the store and ask for 90 minutes of my life back + a refund for the cost of the movie. Instead of watching this movie, you would be doing something EXTREMELY more constructive...... like sitting in a chair and staring at a blank wall for an hour and a half. You couldn't pay me to watch this movie again.
