Ninja 2009 Trailer gave me so much expectations, it delivered some great scenes and looked like a true Japanese ninja-themed motion picture. There are some pretty clear points on why this movie is so awful. The 2 main characters "Casey" & "Namiko" grow up at a school of martial arts, yet they struggle to deal with common thugs. And I'm sorry but the actor for "Casey" is awful, he is untalented and should consider a new job, throughout the film he looks tense and uncomfortable. Although the story line is predictable to some extent it is also outrageously spontaneous, for instance "Masazuka" at first it's too fond of "Casey" the next minute he tries to kill him then when the Sensei expels him, he acts surprised I mean for god sake you just tried to kill a student what do you expect? Can I also add in the script was poorly thought through, some of the wording (especially the translated language) is very poorly constructed. We all like movies with outrageously impossible stunts and super cool Kick-ass movies right? ninja 2009 is an insult to my intelligence. I can understand someone scaling buildings or throwing darts, but since when can ninjas fly? I mean seriously, he clips the girl to around his neck and flies off like a batman, it probably wouldn't of been so bad if he used a zip wire, or even if the effects used were acceptable. the Ninja showdowns were pretty good quality, they keep my entertained but there was an unneeded amount of blood exploding in every direction when someone got injured or stabbed etc. In my opinion the most important part to any movie is the music, movies such as "the last samurai, hidden dragon crouching tiger" and many more had classic Japanese styled music because it fits and sets the scene. The music in this film is awful, even the Japanese music is bad. I would also like to add that the mastered Blu-ray DVD did not fulfil the expectations of any DVD the sound effects where too loud.
I have to admit that I did not watch the end of this film, I was disgusted that this film was allowed to be sold. The acting was bad. The camera angles were cheap. The Music and sound effects were disappointing. The whole ninja theme was ruined by the fact that they can't even beat thugs. This film was a disappointment on the whole, it didn't resemble a old ninja-themed film, it didn't even resemble a ninja film. Poorly thought through and executed.
