What do you guys think of this "Ninja Assassin" movie?

[bombchu]

A real ninja would never let himself get hit by a car...

 

[oliveira8]

The title is a little redundant, no?

If I'm not mistaken, the word ninja simply means "hidden man," thus removing any redundancy.

Yeah, but what else is a Ninja movie going to really be about?

A highly-trained ninja who uses his superior stealth to gather secret information from noblemen for other noblemen, perhaps.

Just a thought.

But ninjas kill people! I played Tenchu dammit and I murdered alot of people! The only ninjas that don't kill all the time are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Either way Ninja Assassin sounds redundant. One of the trades of ninjas is assassination and I bet most ninjas were trained to kill if needed. So yeah...redudant. We already know that a ninja can kill and is an assassin.

Can you imagine a movie about spies called "Spy Spying."

 

[Lord_Panzer]

They were very creative with the title. Take the top two things everybody loves (publicly know or secretly) and put them together

The same logic applied to Samurai Pizza Cats, I believe.

Well, apparently "Ninja Principal" didn't test well in surveys....

 

[Evilbunny]

Yeah, I think an Assassin was the only thing a ninja could be. I'm pretty sure there are no ninja pastry chefs or ninja investment bankers.

 

[BonsaiK]

Gosh I've never seen so many obviously CGI'ed swords in my life.

Impossible to tell what it will be like, or even how much action will be in it. Previews always show you what will make the film look the most exciting, it's never a true gauge of what you're getting.

 

[Sonicron]

This movie looks absolutely ridiculous.

... And I must see it.

 

[Sonicron]

-EDIT- Rrrrrr... stupid internet troubles. Move along, nothing to see here.

 

[Hiphophippo]

Looks crazy cliche. Possibly good to kill time with pending nothing else on the agenda though.

 

[Chipperz]

Is it just me, or until 0.38, does it look like a Japanese 300?

Yeah... This looks awful, but it'll probably be a very funny, watchable awful.

 

[teutonicman]

Well it looks cheesy, badass, and over-the-top which are always good signs. I just hope they don't toss in some bullshit romance sub-plot.

 

[Bigeyez]

The title is a little redundant, no?

Apparently the name for the movie was inspired by the plot in which the main guy was raised by a clan of ninjas. They then kill his best friend for some arbitrary reason, so he runs away and goes into hiding. Eventually he comes back to save some chick and starts knocking off the clan members, therefore making him a ninja assassin, ie. guy who kills ninjas.

Sounds dumb? You bet.

 

[Mozared]

YES YES YES! i wanna see this just because of the title lol. But it will probably suck for story.

That, basically. Trailer gives me the impression the movie is going to fuck up everything there is about what ninjas really were, along with the entire plot, but that it's got awesome holywood graphics and action to compensate.

Oh god. D: That's even worse. Bleh~

 

[ma55ter_fett]

I heard somewhere that it was supposed to be a test for a Ninja Gaiden movie.

 

[Nannernade]

I think the title of the movie is weird, because technically a ninja is an assassin so shouldn't the movie be called Assassin Assassin? Or how about Ninja Ninja? =O

 

[Pegghead]

Well it may beat out Mega shark vs giant octopus for most to the point and idiotic film title of all time, but the action looks pretty good. And if you go into it not expecting a cinematic art piece it should probably be an enjoyable movie.
