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

Great movie! It was exeactly what I was hoping for, a great movie that shows off the beauty of Blue-Ray. So if you are looking for an action film to show off your fancy equipment this is a great title. The characters felt like they were from Samurai Showdown video game.

The Good Things
*Excellent action, special effects, and fight scenes. Very fantastic and imaginative.
*Excellent photography and cinematography. Good production design (customes, make-up, props).
*Good story. Has some drama and a big love story, but is not overly melodramatic. If you've seen "Basilisk," this is basically the same plot.
*A great cast of imaginative and well-acted characters (was also pleseantly surprised to see the "Ninja Scroll"'s Kangero in there!).

In all this movie was worth watching once or twice. I'm not that big of a Kung-Fu type movies, but I don't mind watching some senseless violence every once in a while. The computer animation was mediocre to good depending on the brightness of the background at any given time ( on bright you could really notice how fake it looked). The story line as a whole was a little iffy, but I suppose it's tough to make a believable ninjas with superpowers movie. The fight scenes were well choreographed, and I do ... Read More

I got this because it was one of the cheaper blu-rays that I hadn't seen and might care to see. Not a great choice as it turns out. Shinobi is pretty dull.
Camera : many quasi-still shots showing the characters' faces to best effect. Forlorn and wistful being their usual facial expression. Their destiny (big capital letters implied) is calling, cue ponderous music. The male lead looks especially haunted (but with an amazingly trendy Japanese haircut). The female lead is pretty and... ... Read More

Smooth, dynamic and visually stunning scenery and special effects. Story line is a bit predictable but if you look for first class action and the mood for a samurai film, this is what u r looking for. Encoding for video and audio are first class rate. A reference for Blu-Ray high definition video. Film transfer is astonishingly better than many U.S.films esp.on dark scenes.
