I’m Looking forward to see this movie since its first review here in Screenrant.com, when I read the title “Ninja Assassin” I’m very excited because I want to see a film, I mean a Ninja film like my favorite game in Playstation… entitled “Tenchu”. Although it’s more on Ninja era.. I guess this modern Ninja type of film will be more exciting and wonderful..c”,)

Looks pretty good to me. I would also like a good story along with it but just from this trailer, it looks like some really good action.

Obviously I’m not in the know because I don’t know a lot about this film, but this one looks fun and exciting to me. It maybe one of the few films I will actually go see in the theatre. I can’t wait!

V for Vendetta is one of my favourite films but this does not really sell for me. It seems it’s all about action and martial arts movements that may look awesome but does not apport anything to the film itself. I’ll skip this if I can.

I’m not a fan of this type of fx fighting, but it could be right for 3D viewing… just a thought.

This just really looks like it’s going to be all flash, all of aerobatics, slow motion, etc. too many attempts at a wow factor for me to believe they actually spent time developing a good plot and characters. Hopefully that’s not true, but for me V for Vendetta was like that. The fight scenes were ridiculously stupid in my opinion, and the story was pretty cheesy and had a few too many political messages thrown in. Hopefully he doesn’t do that here as well…

I’m just not to sure about this one.Hopefully they can clean up the effects a little,because they look a little cheesy to me for a movie that appears to be dark and serious,and not just another action eyegasm.

OMFG! This looks awesome lol. . James McTeigue is pretty good I reckon. I especially liked his V for Vendetta, and this isn’t going to be anything less than his brilliance! Can’t wait! HOOT HOTT!

“If you want a story, read a book.”

Um, OK. How do I say that’s a dumb statement without insulting anyone?

@ Paul Young

Ok I will check it out (Eleventh Hour). And I agree with you that Ong Bak 2 was weak. I don’t necessarily think people are saying the movie sucks because of the trailer, but more so commenting on how obvious the CGI is. Sometimes u can determine a crap film based on the trailer (DB Evolution), but I think the complaint here is mostly the off looking and really unnecessary CGI. I mean those floating flame balls just look crappy, and Im sorry no steel whip is that shiny. Never the less I will see this film since I do enjoy martial arts and can’t remember the last time I saw a good ninja flick. Also I suggest to you that you watch Drive if you have not, the martial arts/CQC is very impressive for a low budget film link below

It’s actually better when u see him take the boots off the guy but you can’t deny the DAMN factor of Mark Dacascos.

On another note YOU ALL DO KNOW THAT A LIVE ACTION TEKKEN FILM IS SLATED TO BE RELEASED SOON RIGHT.

@Adrian – I saw Ong Bak 2 about 6 months ago at a buddy’s house. I was actually bored and fell asleep. Very dissappointed in the film and it feels almost like a prequel set a few hundred years ago or more, but Tony Jaa is there so I was confused right off the bat. Sure his fight scenes are ridiculous but at least OB1 had a feasible plot.

@Sin – Brother check out “The Elevnth Hour” whenever you get a chance. It’s has some of the best hand-to-hand combat scenes I have ever seen that were doing without CGI. Right up there with Tommy Lee Jones in “The Hunted”.

To the people dissing this film based on nothing but the trailer…this film should be scene soley on the title. I mean, what person doesn’t have a little kid inside of them thinking “Holy Crizap! I want to be a ninja!”

@ stuntmanJ, ogb & Ken J…

Damn good comments guys! I hope this turns out to be an awesome film too, but I’m not holding my breath. But yeah, when i was a kid i loved the American Ninja films so what the hell do i know.

Just seems that even B-Grade films back then were better than most films today. Even though they never had cinema release I remember some films were HUGE at the video rental shops. Massive posters and promo stuff etc… Most films these days don’t really gain my interest. Maybe I’m just more jaded in my 30′s. lol.

too many specialeffects for fight scenes these days. Just say no to slo-mo lest you want Matrix comparisons. If you like action, this movie is for you. If you want a story, read a book.

A little disappointing when compared to the Stunt Reel. It seems like the put on way too many special effects (CGI, Green Screen, etc.) The stunt reel was AMAZING but now it just looks like a typical hollywood martial arts movie. Hope I’ll be proven wrong.
