Im split with this movie...

 

On the one hand theres ninjas, ninja stars, and ninjas doin ninja stuff.

On the other hand it looks completely terrible.

i'm going to watch. looks like a movie i'd love as a kid growing up

The story focuses on Rain's Raizo, who is picked up off the streets as a child and trained to be — what else? — a wickedly skilled ninja assassin. All grown up, Raizo ends up turning against the folks who taught him to be a killing machine and makes it his life's mission to end all this assassination business. Unsurprisingly, the others ninjas don't take kindly to this sort of career advice, and a cross-European battle royal ensues.

 

"You have to keep the essence of the ninja movie," McTeigue explained. "But if you want to take it above the usual kind of ninja movie, you need to give it a decent story. But make no mistake — it's a ninja movie."

 

In addition to the character-driven elements in "Ninja," when the movie hits theaters on November 25, expect loads of funky weapons (swords, throwing stars, chain-blade combos called kusarigama) and wild fight choreography (incorporating elements of parkour, kung fu and sword combat). In other words, there's a little something for everyone.

I really wanna see this.

 

TV Trailer:

 

the story is terrible. it has the classic assassin/hitman/ninja cliche. orphan in the streets. orphan gets taken in by kind person. kind person turns out to be not so kind. orphan(know grown) kills adopted father

i agree it's the typical martial arts plot, but I haven't seen a ninja movie in ages and I grew up watching them. Will be good to see one that probably has better special effects.

Saw it. The action scenes I liked, but didn't like the non-action scenes. haha...
