Review of Ninja

Ninja (2009)
3/10
Really bad !
28 November 2009
Warning: Spoilers
After 30 years of ninja being around, this movie look more like an Scot Adkinss advertiser. There are no ninjas whatsoever in the movie, just a bunch a samurai wannabe and bad at it. The daughter of the soke is lame, because no women dedicated to her martial art could be so weak. Second, their weapons and outfits look more like a cheap imitation from those seen in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and that's not good ! The characters have no power or charisma, no character development or interest - staring half-angry, half-bored to someone had been done to oblivion in bad Hong Kong movies. Moreover, the trainees from the ninja school have no concept about team work or how to subdue a superior enemy. The main heroes don't make any plans, weapons or analyze the situation to create an advantage or use police/bad guy weaknesses. They just run around in the same clothes used before, the same haircut and 'do' good because they're supposed to be ninja aka invincible. Usually, Scot Adkinss routine involve kicking and more kicking, while ninja are supposed to be experts in hiding/silence and not mortal kombat characters. Really bad !
