Shinobi - Heart Under Blade,
By
This review is from: Shinobi(Spec.Edit)Blu-Ray (Blu-ray)
Shinobi is an amazing movie with a great cast of characters, a good storyline, and quality production value. If you were to freeze the film at several points throughout, you could see how well framed and composed these shots are. I don't want to leave any spoilers, period. Just take my word for it.If you're an anime buff, you'll find that this movie well executes the transition of elements and aesthetic normally found in Japanese animation. Each character is unique and memorable in their own way and you'll find yourself satisfied with the amount of time you see them on screen. This movie has fantasy elements woven into details based on actual existing ideas in history such as the Ninja tribes, but just forget for a moment that anything has to be plausible, realistic, or historically accurate here. This movie is what it is. The beauty of this movie is, it ends. You don't see any cop outs leaving room open for a sequel. This film is a standalone masterpiece and I'm happy to have it in my Blu-ray collection. If you're interested, see about picking up the soundtrack because there's an amazing track by Ayumi Hamasaki (Japan's Madonna equivalent, or better) called Heaven which is worth listening to.

A gross abuse of the source material,
By
This review is from: Shinobi: Heart Under Blade (DVD)
This movie is a ghastly affront to Masaki Segawa's popular "Basilisk." The fights are boring and uninspired, the characters are thinly-developed (and almost totally different) shells of their manga selves, the overall plot maintains few elements of the source's vibrance, and the film just generally plods. Only thing worth complimenting are the production values. Save yourself much agony, and buy the volumes of "Basilisk" instead. Or watch the anime.

If you enjoyed Basilisk, you will enjoy this as well,
By
This review is from: Shinobi: Heart Under Blade (DVD)
I purchased and watched the anime Basilisk, which this liveaction movie is based on.I enjoyed it to its fullest, even more because they had much more budget than your average japanese movies (and I have seen lots of them) Keep in mind that Basilisk was a 26 episode x 20 minutes in length. The movie is roughly aroun 90 minutes. Even if the movie was condensed, I was happy that they cut out some of the scenes which I did not enjoy in the anime. I found them useless honestly, so that was a plus for me. They are fights, brilliant done in my opinion, and I even found that it was fun that they slightly changed certain things in the movie, which I found interesting. I guess you could compared it a bit to Death Note the anime vs the liveaction movies. If you have viewed these (Death Note) and enjoyed both (aniem and liveaction movies), with the slight changes int he storylines of certains characters and unexpected things, then pick up this movie now.
