The poster does not look cool, neither does the trailer. I decided to watch this movie after I saw "Behind The Scenes" footages on Sony's AXN Channel. Well this movie does give everything promised on the footage. The tough training the cast (especially Rain) went through is totally worth it.
The introduction part contains too much flashbacks. It shifts frequently between Raizo's past and present time. This movie is easy to understand and the story line seems to be written in simple way. The original script was not good enough and they decided to make new draft, six weeks before the production. The total writing hours of the new script was only 53 hours. The whole movie runs for about 100 minutes with some predictable points.
This movie is extremely violent. The blood splits everywhere. The ninjas in this movie are heartless killer and they kill brutally, with or without sword. There's line "I have no heart" by Raizo, before Kiriko proves we all do have heart and his heart is looking for him. Hmm...
This movie does not have good story line and acting. However, "Ninja Assassin" deserves high rating because of the action flicks and stunts. Most probably they spent too much concern on the ninjas scenes and not the casting. Bloody battles are largely included. It's fast paced too, so I should say fast and furious, LOL. But this time, it's about ninja and their martial arts.
This movie is about revenge, most action movies these days are about the same thing. There are two sides seeking revenge. One caused by love and another caused by betrayal. Both collides and the movie has an excellent cinematography. Fast motion and slow motion are all used in right timing.
Rating: 7/10

Here's the most hyped movie of the year, with high demand on the box office. I watched it and I think it's 100 times better than any summer movies we had this year, except for "Fast & Furious." The reason I'm comparing it with other summer movies mainly because this movie was originally scheduled for the summer. However, they changed the release date because there's possibility of getting higher profits on November. Besides that, they spent more time on production which I believe was worth it. The trailer on YouTube reached 8 million views in about 6 months and has about 51,000 comments and average rating of 4.5 by 22,000 users. Once I saw the trailer, it was hard to resist the movie. =P
It's the most breathtaking catastrophe movie until now! The movie runs for 2 hours and 40 minutes. There are few lessons we can learn from this movie. It touches variety themes such as love, friendship and family. I can elaborate that part but do not want to reveal anything, hehe. It has good choice of casts and actings are quite emotional. All of them whom I have not seen on the big screen.
The visual effects are stunning and it's the most remarkable element in this movie. They look realistic, unlike in other movies where you can easily discover they are computer generated. Certain scenes are really horrific.
I like the soundtrack video, "Time For Miracles" by Adam Lambert. I'm not Adam Lambert fan but I know he's great singer. Below here, I have posted the official music video. There are extra scenes from the movie, an additional to the trailer.
Most critics and reviews compares this movie with another movie called "A Day After Tomorrow." It has the same director and involves catastrophic effects. I have not seen that movie, I do not really much like these kind of movies. However, 2012 turns to be good choice for November entertainment. =)
By the way, catastrophic means sudden violent change on the earth's surface.

It has arrived! I mean the CD package has arrived, sent via courier by Sony Music. I ordered it through their online store, total cost was about RM44.90 which came with an unexpected nice MJ black T-Shirt. I ordered on Monday morning and I received it on Thursday afternoon. =D
Before I found Sony Online store, I thought to use Amazon for the first time but it's way too expensive. I do not spent money on original CDs except for Linkin Park. Anyway, there has been some exception which now includes MJ's King of Pop. Hehe.
The whole CD package themed in black and red colour. The lyrics book contains some of MJ's best shots. The first page has MJ's youth photo with printed autograph. By the way, I was just looking through.
I have not finish listening yet. I only played few random tracks and I'm loving the songs. There are 2 CD's with 31 tracks. According to the album, it's released in celebration of Michael Jackson's 50th birthday. It's the first-ever collection with tracks voted by fans. Here are the tracks listed:
