Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 73 Average rating: 3.5 "I could not stand" It was kind of boring. Don't waste your time and money "Unimpressive" The dialoge was lame and the music was annoying. The movie jumps into the story without explaining much, then various characters will spew out info for the viewers, but it makes no sense as the heroes should already know these details, so there is no real reason for them to be mentioned.( EXAMPLE: Some old guy tells 2 people about the Shadow Ninja clans, but they ARE the Shadow Ninjas, so wouldn't they know their own history?) There was also an overabundance of dramatic, minor character death scenes. The plot is the standard "demon-possessed warlord must be defeated by heroes with magic weapons otherwise the gate to Hell will open". It picks up at the very end when the last bad guy reveals his intentions, but is otherwise pretty standard. This is a mediocre ninja movie. Pick up Ninja Scroll instead. "Awful" I am most dissappointed with this one. The truth is,..I've seen prievews from this movie that weren't in the movie,..then discovered the series was sold in three seperate videos as well. The story is horrible,..and I've discovered that all it is is the three videos gutted out and put into one. The fight scenes are awful,..man versus monster,..and this is just a horrible movie.. "Monsters...lots of em...this is a good movie" This was an awesome movie. GET THIS ONE. Helluva good animation. this movie is tough...like mr. t. "The Best anime i have seen in a while!!" I thought that the Wrath of the Ninja had a terrific story line Although I would have prefered it if Ayame wasn't left alone. The animation was great and I loved the fight scenes!
