Has anyone seen the movie yet? I saw a subbed version released online a few days back. The movie is actually based on the anime Basilisk and alot of things were change for the movie.

I recommend anyone who is gonna watch the movie watch the anime as well. The anime gives a more in depth story of each character and tells a better love story than the movie.

Here's a link to the trailer: http://www.shinobi-movie.com <- watch the HD trailer by all means!!!

And here's a link to the subbed movie: http://www.newtorrents.info/?id=5884

I think Erika Sawajiri is in it too, and she's Hotarubi in the movie.

woah, i had no idea this was based on Basilisk. I saw the movie a little while back as Harlock upped it in the asshole. I thought it was pretty good, but i was kinda disappointed with the action.

hmm, i might have to check it out then. some of the characters were really cool and it seems like the movie couldve benefitted from more char development... then again, im a sucker for rich characters

Well, I watched the original Basilisk, and must say that it was an awesome piece of work. Looking forward to this one.... in a while.

wow, didn't even know it was based on an anime. But it did remind me of ninja scroll (with the poison chick

)
The fight scene were awesome, totally unexpected (for me atleast)

Well, I'm fairly disappointed in this movie. They changed too much from the original Basilisk.

Oh well, but if you look at it from the view of the people who never watched the anime or read the original manga, it fares out pretty well.

Most likely because people die too quick huh?

And my favorite (Yasshamaru) dies so damn easily too. But hey, that's ninjutsu for ya. >.>

In manga, yashamaru, koshiro are cool.
In movie, they are not.

In manga, it's just 2 prince compete to get the commander position -- lame
In movie, the samurai tried to get rid of ninja village -- sad but cool.

In manga, Hotarubi is creepy.
In movie, everyone love Hotarubi.

In manga, Gennosuke got a very lame genjutsu.
In movie, it's the best genjutsu i ever seen from ninja.

In manga, there're some stupid ninja. Not to say their stupid ninjutsu.
In movie, they take the good things from manga and make it perfect.

Oboro is lame.... in both manga and movie.
The only good thing in manga.... perhaps the nude and sex scene?

Koshiro indeed sucks. Why is he in the Kouga side when he's supposed to be with the Iga ninjas? And what happened to his air vaccum ninjutsu?

Same plot really on both stories, but they just added a bit more with the attack on the current villages. The attack already happened once in the manga, that being when Nobunaga attacked the Iga clan's home.

And Gennosuke was supposed to suck. He got Danjo's skill after all. They made him look better in the movie indeed. xD

Even in the movie, there're a lot of stupid ninjas. What were the trained ninjas doing when they were being attacked by the bushi? Just holding their swords and running around doing nothing. What did the mutant ninja (who was supposed to be at the Kouga clan too)when he was fighting the Kouga impostor freak (who happened to be a mix of two Kouga ninjas lol)? Kiss the sexy bitch and kill himself.

And you know you love nudity and sex scenes.

The Kagero that was in Ninja Scroll is the same Kagero in Basilisk/Shinobi.

Originally it's based on a fiction novel by the late Fuutarou Yamada.

i finally watched it this weekend. good shit. too bad the dude with the long sleeves died so early.

Loki! · « **Reply #12 on:** March 14, 2006, 03:10:00 AM »

Yeah, Yasshamaru was cool, but died to early on both the movie and the anime/manga.

josuke · « **Reply #13 on:** March 16, 2006, 01:04:04 PM »

I don´t like the movie. I preffer Basilisk. The only thing I like from the movie is Sawajiri´s appearance. I love her
