Re: Ninja Assassin
Fair enough. But answer me this, what would be an example of a ninja movie that rises above the expectations in your opinion?
Also Ninja Assassain did succeed on one important level. It was a movie about ninjas, an R-rated one at that, that got a major release in theaters across the globe.
Ultimately ninja movies are critic proof, and expecting anything more than a popcorn movie going into Ninja Assassain is just retarded IMO.
I think using the first Matrix film as an example is not fair, because there was nothing like The Matrix when it came out. There was no frame of reference. There was no expectations. With a ninja movie the expectations going in are it's going to be mindless fun. A guilty pleasure good or bad.
BTW You had the claws too!! I did too as a kid! Those were awesome. I think I'm going to dig out the rubber numchucks for old times sake.
