 "Not rock bottom, but not great"Well, the major thing I didn't like about this movie was that, as many people have said, it had nothing to do with Ninja Scroll. Also, for the majority of the movie, it made the people who were the "bad guys" look good. Call me crazy, but I don't fell like cheering for guys who surround a church full of innocent people and shooting them. And for the guy who said "It made me hate Christians for weeks", you must have really hated Christians to start with. But other than that it was... okay. Just okay.  "Simply awful"If you loved "Ninja Scroll" go watch it again, and don't waste your time on this. It is simply awful. None of the action you expect. It all seems over-rehearsed. Moreover, there is more of a theological message in "Pulp Fiction" than in this failed attempt. Don't waste your time. "Not Ninja Scroll, and Not Samurai Showdown either"I really did not like this DVD. I felt ripped-off to tell you the truth. Maybe because I had such high expectations. The violence is high, and yes there were a couple of 'naked time' scenes (with apolgies to Dana Carvey), but I came away from this anime feeling empty. First, on the VHS, the box said that it was Jubei from Ninja Scroll. Not so. This is the classical/mythical Jubei that is told of in legends. Kinda like Musashi. And, it is not the Samurai Showdown Jubei, despite the fact that they share the same name, and have an eyepatch. While Showdown modeled their characters (up to part two at least) after their historical counterparts, NInja Resurrection did none of this. THey just took the names and ran with it. Final Diagnosis: Not Recommended to anyone. "Misleading"I saw this on VHS and the box clearly stated "Jubei Kibogame from Ninja Scroll" Once I got over the disappointment of having been conned into buying it I started to like the action. The story is pretty much garbage however. Only buy this if you want a little action. If you want some Ninjas with depth try Wrath Of The Ninja. "In feudal japan they had rocket ships(lol)...."I just got started watching anime...ive never seen ninja scroll.... but i know that this was never meant to be a sequel anyway. But the story is pretty good and so is the animation. But the ninja rocket ship and rocket launchers?....WTF is that?!..This is supposed to be feudal Japan!! O well...hahaha...still damn good. Would have gave it 4 if it werent for the rocket ship which about ruined the whole feel of the movie!!!!! |
