02/12/2021 Excellent and bitter sweet love, it has not gone mainstream , not that much popular but the making and story telling with the skill of cinematography during that time was well done. See more 03/08/2014 Hauntingly beautiful scenes with a tragic ending. Loved it. See more 12/15/2013 Ninja Romeo & Juliet. Comparisons aside, I was actually entertained. Who doesn't like ninjas? The fantasy element was strong and cheesy, with super powered warriors doing battle. But that tranquil and poetic Japanese way of shooting scenes just makes up for it. See more 11/19/2013 Shinobi has a little bit Romeo & Juliet meets Naruto. When 2 ninja clans must meet in battle you know there's going to be some fun action sequences and if you like wirefu, you'll find plenty to enjoy here. Some of the ninja has amazing powers and are truly fun to watch. The problem with the film is too many of the ninja and their specific powers aren't explained or used enough. Some don't even fight before they die! And then there are others (some with less then cool powers) who are on screen far too much. Whether this all was a decision based on budget and ability or whether they just wanted to concentrate on certain ninja because it was in the source material, Shinobi fails to truly provide what a fan of this type of film expects. Quick kills are for no name regular fighters... not the best of the best. Outside of those particular let downs throughout the film, Shinobi plays very well and is lots of fun and even includes a message that should be thought of by all those in the world who are so dead set on fighting and wars. In the end... love is all that matters. See more 10/29/2013 Move over Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon! See more 09/25/2013 "Ten Shimoyama's Shinobi is equal parts tragic love story and fantastical martial arts showcase." 2005 was a popular year for adaptations of The Kouga Ninja Scrolls. First Basilisk, then this. Beautiful scenes and good effects, but the emphasis on the tragic love story makes it more of a date movie. I prefer Basilisk, but for an abridged look at the story, this isn't bad. See more Read all reviews
