"It was wack" I thought that this movie was pretty wack. Although I liked the gore and blood and everything, it was too short and the plot didn't flow right. If you are a Ninja Scroll fan like myself, then you'll be disappointed in this movie. "The best sequal there coule be" Contrary to popular belief, this IS the sequal to Ninja Scroll. Of course it won't have the same story, characters or villans, the only person from Ninja Scroll that wasn't killed was Jubei! This is simply the story of some on else, not Jubei. "The first is always the best." This film was one of the first animes that I had ever seen and I felt that I should contributed to the selling of this motion picture. I saw this for the bloody perview and for the title; but this is much more then just a anime it's a work of art. I showed NINJI RESURRECTION to some of my friends and it change their point of view on the Japanese Animation, "kick butt films." And the soundtrack ROUNDS!!! "Be sure to lower your expectations before viewing this tape." Ninja Scroll is my favorite Japanese animated movie. This movie, however, has nothing to do with Ninja Scroll. It would have been nice for ADV to tell us this. To be honest I did like the animation and the last 10 to 15 minutes of the tape are really good, but that's it. The rest of the movie stinks.... BAD! This movie has to have one of the most boring and slow-moving story lines I have ever had the misfortune to experience in my life. It claims to run for only 50 minutes, but I felt like I sat through Titanic by the time any action gets going (the last 10 to 15 minutes I was talking about before). My advice is watch Ninja Scroll again and stay away from this movie. "Not a sequel, but not bad." Yeah, so it wasn't exactly a contiuation of scroll, but it still has what it takes to be good anime. My only complaint is breking it up into parts making you spend more and waiting longer to see it all. But in the end it's all a matter of taste anyway. Bottom line...good flick, cool action, evolving storyline. Can't wait to see the next one. |
