3. Ninja Assassin- 1 1/2 out of 5 stars

So where do i begin? Acting was complete garbage, Raizo (Rain) showed almost no emotion. One of the worst acting jobs I've seen was preformed by Raizo's ninja lover who I was more then happy to see die. Mika (Naomie harris) did the best of all the actors in this movie but still was mediocre at best. I watched in 2D on my TV and due to the fact the real movie was intended to be in 3D, the CGI was one of the worst I've seen to date. The blood in the movie made me laugh about how stupid and unrealistic it was, literally looking like red paint. The story was as cliche as cliche can get, just from the title alone you can tell how bad the story will be. The only thing holding this movie from a 1 star rating was the cinematography, three scenes in particular. The first was a scene where Raizo had a ninja duel with flaming balls hanging from chains around them, the next is the scene above in the picture above where Raizo kicked ninja butt during the rain after killing a target, and the last was the duel between raizo and his master, where it projected their shadows against the Feudal Japanese house walls and blood (though laughable) would splatter on the walls. The twist at the end made me face palm, and I highly doubt that is actually possible, and that common.

Favorite Quote:
Tattoo artist: The Irizumi (Japanese Tattoo) does not hide the skin. The tattoo reveals the nature of the man and illuminate the four noble professions in the book of five rings: the warrior, the artist, the merchant, and the farmer. If there is a conflict between the needle and the skin, between the mark and the man, then perhaps the path you have chosen is not the path for which you're suited.
