DVD Reviews of Shinobi - Heart Under Blade (Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: 5/5
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie was simply amazing. The way the story was told, the events , and of course the Ninjitsu leave you wishing there was a part 2. But if you are a diehard Anime fan and have of course read or seen Basalisk, which this Movie is based on will notice they left alot out.They changed a few of the powers around and the way some of the shinobi were killed I though should have followed Basalisk a little more. But over all it was a very good LAM of the Manga and I have watched it atleast 4 times since I got it lol.

DVD Review: Pretty good movie
Summary: 5 Stars

The pretty was pretty good IMO. I can't complain. I've never heard of this movie so I didn't know what to expect. I saw this movie on the shelf at Best Buy and I decided to get it from Amazon since it was a lot cheaper. The action was good. I'm easily amused by movies like this. I'm looking for more.

DVD Review: Pretty wack
Summary: 2 Stars

Pretty because its on Blu but wack cause of the movie itself. Some action scenes are good, but I suggest you rent or borrow from someone before purchasing this one. One thing that stood out to me was how is this supposed to be a action-romatic rip-off of romeo and juliet and not have the main characters even kiss? Not even a peck, LOL.

DVD Review: Awesome movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this movie after hearing from my boyfriend that it was a classic film. For the action fans out there, especially the ones who enjoy Asian cinema, you will like this one. It's a great story with amazing action sequences. And the blu ray? It makes everything so much clearer and the result is a beautiful film with vibrant colors and detail. If you like Asian fighting movies, and especilly if you are one of those people who likes things like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this is a movie for you. Just be advised that it is not dubbed in English, so there is a lot of reading but it's very much worth it.

DVD Review: Captivating
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie kept me mesmerized. Although, I was waiting for more ninja type stuff I was still happy with this purchase. I realized not to long into the movie even though it is a ninja clan movie it is more about people with special powers that are no longer needed. The cinematography was just beautiful with wide shots of forests and mountains. Overall the story was great and sad at the same time. I encourage anyone who is into japanese period movies to check this movie out.

Description of Shinobi - Heart Under Blade (Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

For centuries, there lived warriors of darkness and shadow with strange powers and arcane skills, living only for battle. They were the SHINOBI

he year is 1614. Japan has been united under the Tokugawa Shoguns and the land is begining to feel at peace. Two remote ninja clans, the Koga and the Iga, are ancient enemies but have long been bound by a peace agreement forbidding them to fight. The heirs to the leadership of both clans have fallen in love but a tragic fate awaits them. A cruel plot is set by the Shogun to wipe these two clans from existence by breaking the peace agreement and forcing the two clans to battle. Five Ninjas of each the Koga and Iga clans will battle against each other to the death. As a great war begins it brings the two young heirs together again. But this time as enemies.

Equal parts Romeo and Juliet and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Shinobi offers breathtaking cinematography, appealing actors, and ninjas. What more could a movie fan ask for? Released in 2005, Shinobi is set in 17th century Japan, which is dominated by two powerful clans. Oboro is a member of the Iga clan, while her lover Gennosuke is the son of the leader of the Koga clan. Both groups are comprised of expert ninjas who have developed skills unknown to most mortals. When Oboro and Gennosuke meet, they are unaware that by their birthrights, they are meant to hate--not love--each other. When the nefarious Shogun--eager to increase his own power by doing away with both clans--announces that each faction will send in five ninjas to fight to the death, Oboro and Gennosuke are sent in to battle against each other for the honor of their clans. Filled with action (including some computer-generated images to enhance the actors' warrior-like qualities) and romance, Shinobi has the makings of a sweeping epic. Though based on an anime series, the film succeeds as a stand-alone piece of work. Beautifully filmed and well-acted, the film is exciting and heartbreaking, and the viewer senses both hope and doom all the way through the finale. --Jae-Ha Kim
