Ninja Assassin: Yea or Nah?

Ninjabear · November 2009

I'm trying to decide whether I should see Ninja Assassin or Fantastic Mr. Fox. It looks cool, but I can't help getting this "Real Ultimate Power OMG NINJAS" vibe when I see the commercials for it. Has anyone here seen it yet? If so how is it?

Skull Man · November 2009

it looks awesome

I'm going tonight

Randall_Flagg · November 2009

I'm gonna see Ninja Assassin today, and Mr. Fox later. Speed Racer is my favourite movie of all time, and I totally trust the Wachowskis to make Ninja Assassin amazing.

ShimSham · November 2009

It's fucking sweet.

Not much in terms of plot, it's just there to carry the movie. What's fun about it is the over the top violence and gore.

The only thing that would have made it better for me is not having the people who sat behind me.

"OH! Girl! Don't go in there!"

"Ooh his lips is chapped. He need some Carmex."

oh wow, they made this? If they're not trying to do plot (matrix) or humor (speed racer) then this might be decent

Futore · November 2009

The entire fucking movie, that's the kind of shit I heard. Wanted to say something but her boyfriend about about 6'4", 230+ lbs.

Faricazy · November 2009

Dr.Funkenstein · November 2009

You should if the movie interests you enough to see it

FirmSkater · November 2009

Apparently The Road isn't playing in the entire fucking state of Ohio so I won't be seeing that for a while.

I was thinking of getting some people together to see this instead.

Then watch Chocolate

Franko · November 2009

The end of Chocolate is pretty good, but I think it is overall kinda sub par

satansfingers · November 2009

i fast forward through large portions of ong bak at this point

the story just isn't engaging at all. but hot damn is there some action.

What story? It's about a dude kneeing people in the head for like an hour and a half.

Cristoval · November 2009

I seen this last night and didn't much care for it at all. It's one of those movies that's just too retarded to get any enjoyment out of. The beginning is actually pretty alright and I enjoyed some of the initial fight scenes, but it just got more and more ridiculous as it went on, taking itself completely seriously the whole time.

Gumpy · November 2009

Is he a ninja who assassinates people, or an assassin that targets ninjas?

Butters · November 2009

Looks like it will be a sweet blu-ray so if it turns out to be good I'll just get that.

you say that now but it is a ninja movie produced by the wachowskis

Anjin-San · November 2009

damn girl, chocolate was crazy

Futore · November 2009

what did make The Protector wonderful however and earn my respect so much was this

Single Shot 6 minute fight scene

4 months before Children of Men got so much cred for doing the continuous shot scenes

GameGrrl · November 2009

Man has anyone seen Red Cliff?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd0bqLQrtdE

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Cliff_%28film%29

This is my first time hearing of this but it sounds intense. Highest grossing film in china ever, directed by John Woo, apparently so long it had to to be divided into two parts... and there's separate north american and Chinese versions of the movie with different footage.

Faricazy · November 2009

I saw Chocolate! It was great.

There seems to be a cultural difference where one group of people thinks it's totally OK to shout shit during the movie. Also, white people drive a car like this.

Oh, right. Almost forgot.

Ninja Assassin looks like it might be so bad that it's bad. I think when you take it past Army Of Darkness, you are treading dangerous ground.

EDIT: This is what I'm talking about:

Kuribo's Shoe · November 2009

I had no idea the wachowskis were involved with ninja assassin

that makes it a lot easier to avoid

Faricazy · November 2009

I got shushed when I went to see the first Transformers during the robots pounding the shit out of each other scene.

I got shushed during Spider-Man 3 for bursting out in laughter at the posing in front of the american flag part.

I got shushed when I went to see Zombieland during the 2012 trailer because I was pointing out to my friend all the things that make it retarded.

what the hell

Kuribo's Shoe · November 2009

maybe you should shut up

Anjin-San · November 2009

nobody likes a chatty bitch, though
