Spoiler Alert!!! All that build up for a twisted waste of time! I mean Adam turning into Nadia is not a turn on but a stupid waste of time. Seriously why would the movie build up a bad guy and good guy when they are both the same damn person! There were no existence of ninjas to be seen anywhere so the point of calling it Ninja's Creed is just a coax so you could hope that maybe this movie has a chance but no! It is a waste of my whole family's time! I would rather castrate myself than ever see this turd that wont flush of a film! I really feel raped like I just got out of prison and cant wipe without feeling dirty! I wonder if the director was smoking some Ganja cause the script was stupider than Eric Roberts looks. The long hair is overdone and so is this stupid movie! Thanks for reading this now go find a better movie to watch! 0 out of 10.
... View MoreSo my wife goes online and the films rated 4/5 stars on our local rental site, so she sends me out to get it. I wish I'd bothered to read the stars names. If I'd known Eric Roberts was the leading star, I would have never picked it up.After a confusingly stupid intro that would be an insult to the intelligence of anyone who has read a menu at Wendy's, ten minutes into the movie, we still have no idea what's going on. Other notable points, sometimes the video looks like it's shot with a cheap handycam, the sound is awful when they're inside, the acting is painful...there's basically zero plot, fine, I can deal with it (I knew it was an action movie when I rented it) , I'll fast forward to the action... 5 minutes fast forwarding at 30x speed.. no action... another 2 minutes, finally! an action scene! Back to normal speed, and... what a disappointment. There's no real fight, just some shadowing stuff and then a guy jumps through a candy glass door. Wow... take that Ninja assassin!! 30 seconds later, I'm off the couch and back on my way to the video store to demand a refund or replacement. The rental clerk says, we usually don't do exchanges.. I explain how bad it was to him and that I only watched about 15 minutes before turning it off, so he makes an exception. He says next time just say it's scratched or something. I think to myself, If I'd scratched the DVD, I would have been doing the world a huge favor!!
... View MoreI really like Gail Kim. I think she is one of the sexiest, as well as most technically talented, female pro-wrestlers of her generation. So I have been waiting for this film for years (just remember that Pat Morita died in 2005 and do the math to realize how long its release has been delayed). When I finally started watching it, I thought the only possible reason for the very bad reviews it got was its unfortunate retitling from "Royal Kill" to "Ninja's Creed" on the DVD cover (it has nothing to do with ninjas). The first half of the movie plays like a low-budget but still slick variation on the "Terminator" myth: a mysterious noble warrior sent to protect the last hope of oppressed people from an unstoppable assassin whose only mission is to eliminate both. Sure, they botched Gail Kim's first action scene, the attack on Lalaine's house, but her next fight, against Alexander Wraith and some security guards, is a nice set-piece, where she gets to use some of her trademark wrestling moves. And then....the first big twist comes. The good thing about this twist is that you won't see it coming. The bad things are that a) it cancels out the movie up to that point, b) it makes no sense. But even if you're willing to go along with it, more similar twists soon follow until the film collapses completely into incoherence. If writer-director Babar Ahmed had focused more on trying to deliver a movie similar to the one suggested by the DVD cover, it probably would have turned out better than this overambitious mess. *1/2 out of 4.
... View MoreThat's all I could think of watching this mess.The plot line is that an imaginary Himalayan Country is being overrun by an equally fictional evil empire. The last princess of was hidden in America with Eric Roberts. An evil assassin is sent to America to kill her, but a warrior is sent to protect her.SPOILER ALERT! SKIP TO NEXT REVIEW IF YOU WANT TO FEEL THE PAIN FOR YOURSELF! Oh, wait, no, sorry, this is all the delusion in the head of a minimum wage security guard. You will find yourself profoundly disappointed if you invest anything into this terminator light movie.Let's talk about Pat Morita's Zombie, eh? Pat, famous as Arnold from Happy Days and Mr. Miyagi, died in 2005. That didn't keep him from appearing in this mess. His appearances are obviously some footage being recycled and dubbed over like a Godzilla movie, with edits of the actors spliced in between. Think Bela Lugosi in Plan 9 from Outer Space. With less dignity. Then you have Gail Kim. Can't give her the same leeway. Okay, she was playing a hallucination, but the fight choreography was kind of dull. And she can't act. Wooden, hissing voice, mumbles her lines, has absolutely no sensuality for a woman who is kind of attractive. Did I mention the inability to act part? Eric Roberts and the young girl playing his daughter are likable and putting forth an effort, and your sympathies are with them. Which just makes the final resolution of the plot (they were pointlessly killed as part of this IDIOT'S delusion) that much more awful.So if you read this review and rent this abortion anyway, you have no one to blame but yourself!
