Ninja 2 : Shadow Of A Tear (2013) starring Scott Adkins

[Verbal21]

Are those reviews serious or sarcastic? I didn't like the lack of ninja-suit action in the trailer.

 

[dude stannis]

Totally serious, the film has an 8.6 on IMDb at the moment.

What do you mean sarcastic? Are there professional review sites which do sarcastic reviews?

I don't go to movie review sites so I'm not aware of how credible each link is. All I see are copy and paste reviews from sites I never heard of and a B movie getting really great reviews and I'm just surprised those same reviews, are praising this movie that much considering how cheesy the trailer looks.

A good movie can from anywhere. I find most big budget studio films cheesy, so that's there.

DVD Cover released. Releasing in December! (Just in times for year end awards consideration. :P)

 

[dude stannis]

Great cover. I seriously can't wait for this.

 

[slumcat]

Does the cover look sort of 3D to anyone else? It kinda looks that way to me.

t: I forgot to buy the dvd Tuesday, so I was gonna wait til payday....but Mr. Adkins made my DAAAAAY. On his Official FB he said the movie is now streaming on NETFLIX (USA) So I watch movie today and buy dvd or blu Friday. t:t:t:

I did read on another forum the movie didn't crack top 100 on iTunes though.


I hope the dvd/blu sells or rents good. And streams good on NETFLIX.

I think this one will receive tons of great word of mouth though. I can't imagine it not becoming a martial arts classic.

Plus, when Outlaw Vern gives the action in your film 5/5, it's gonna be a sight to behold.

Saw it on Netflix...my god...the action.

 

[dude stannis]

Bleh no Australian release date in sight, and I can't find any countries with a Region B Blu Ray available either.

And before anyone asks;

Machete don't stream.

i rented the first one...it was SO AWFUL.

i was shocked to see the girl, as she was in my favorite japanese TV series GARO.

 

[Wolfwood]

Wow, I can't believe this is receiving such high praise. Going to track it down right away. I notice my local Redbox is offering a free copy of the first Ninja with every rental of Ninja 2. Seems like a terrible thing to do to people lol.

 

[jacobed]

The action is great but everything else was terrible

Likewise, I wasn't originally looking forward to this one.

Hahaha. This is the first film of a post-The Raid world.

The action is great but everything else was terrible

Like every other Isaac Florentine movie then.

Ninja was okay. Good action. But rather see UD2 and UD3. I only have UD2 on dvd. Rented UD3 dvd, wanna see it's fight scenes again. Ninja 2 is better than Ninja. Better action...better everything. Location helps as well.

Isaac come a long way since Power Rangers lol . I think...he does a okay/alright job outside of fight/action. I don't think he has final say on scripts...he works for Nu Image...we all know how the **** they are...cheap, but love action genre.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

if the Mortal Kombat movie ever gets off the ground, i think Adkins would make a good Johnny Cage

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Everything else was ****, but dear Zod the action...

 

[Wolfwood]

The action was fantastic. Everything else was so bad it was nearly good again. Dramatic zooms everywhere!

 

[addison81]

I'll be checking this out tomorrow. So the action is amazing? How does it compare to THE RAID? That's my benchmark for action from the last couple of years.

I rented Undisputed III on Vudu cause I wanted to see the movie a second time...it had been years...and I noticed ZOOMS. oh Isaac.

I like his zooms though...I like his action better though.

The sequel to Ninja (2009).

Here is the trailer. The trailer looks insane. More action in the trailer than you see in a dozen Hollywood films.

more action than Man of Steel...how is that even possible, that movie had so much.

anyways, this looks great. Always supporting Scott.

For me, there was an intensity to the Raid fights. These are more "wow" factor. There are some amazing kicks and its a nice spectacle for the most part.
