Summary: Action Blu-ray Movie
Comment: Made my purchase in 2008 prior to the release date and item was shipped with the usual excellent Amazon efficiency. If you like watching an action packed movie with tons of well directed fight scenes in superb Blu-ray High Definition, this one I strongly suggest. The story line is decent and although nothing unique, the ultra clear graphics and resolution make watching via your Blu-ray player and HDTV a pleasure to stay home. Audio quality is excellent with the full range of highs and lows being reproduced accurately by my Bose 5.1 system. Watching in my own home envirionment with near like theater type performance makes this movie a worthwhile addition to any Blu-ray collection. This is a film you will not expect to view from any TV provider in the near future as this is a foreign (Japanese) film. A perfect conversation piece for house guests.

Summary: The movie was great but could of been better
Comment: I was slightly disappointed with the movie. It didn't flesh out the characters as well as I hoped and left something missing. But then I read the books so I'm biased xD Other than that I think they did an excellent job on who played the characters and the graphics were awesome. The story held together which a lot of movies fail at when its based off of a book and the general idea to the story remains the same. Its a movie worth watching, I just wish it did more with characters :3

Summary: okay movie
Comment: This movie had really good special effects, but lacked a good plot. It is somewhat of a let down especially at the end.

Summary: Shinobi
Comment: Entertaining. Follow's the Romeo and Juliet saga very closely but is somewhat more introspective. The heroine actually doubts the truth of her own humanity, extremely conflicted by what she thought was her destiny to be a warrior princess and her love for the prince of her enemy. It took the conviction and sacrifice of the hero to convice her that her tradition of violence had a hollow ring. So he's dead, she mourns her loss, and finds she needs to sacrifice herself for the safety of the two villages, the only thing of value left to her. Sounds sad doesn't it? Well heck, so is R&J.

The caliber of the performances was good, not great, and the special 'talents' of the Shinobi were inventive. All in all I found it entertaining and sufficiently redeeming.

For centuries, there lived warriors of darkness and shadow with strange powers and arcane skills, living only for battle. They were the SHINOBI

he year is 1614. Japan has been united under the Tokugawa Shoguns and the land is begining to feel at peace. Two remote ninja clans, the Koga and the Iga, are ancient enemies but have long been bound by a peace agreement forbidding them to fight. The heirs to the leadership of both clans have fallen in love but a tragic fate awaits them. A cruel plot is set by the Shogun to wipe these two clans from existence by breaking the peace agreement and forcing the two clans to battle. Five Ninjas of each the Koga and Iga clans will battle against each other to the death. As a great war begins it brings the two young heirs together again. But this time as enemies.
