Title: SHINOBI the movie
Post by: I LuV J-PoP on February 28, 2006, 07:35:43 PM: 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

Post by: DillDoe on March 09, 2006, 11:36:22 AM: wow, didn't even know it was based on an anime. But it did remind me of ninja scroll (with the poison chick :P )
The fight scene were awesome, totally unexpected (for me atleast)

Post by: Loki! on March 09, 2006, 12:56:19 PM: 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. :D

Post by: Loki! on March 10, 2006, 08:59:56 AM: 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? :roll:
Title: SHINOBI the movie
Post by: Loki! on March 10, 2006, 11:54:48 AM: 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. :roll:

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.

Post by: Loki! on March 14, 2006, 03:10:00 AM: Yeah, Yasshamaru was cool, but died to early on both the movie and the anime/manga. :x

Title: SHINOBI the movie
Post by: cck on January 21, 2007, 03:52:55 PM: I rate Shinobi the movie 7/10.
The action is too quick and the plot is a bit sloppy. Just my opinion. :panda_shifty:
Title: SHINOBI the movie
Post by: browngom on January 25, 2007, 08:04:41 AM: well, this movie is not based on basilisk because basilisk is not the original. it is actually both basilisk and "shinobi movie" that is based on a novel by Futaro Yamada called "The Kouga Ninja Scrolls"
Title: SHINOBI the movie
Post by: tetsu on January 25, 2007, 09:28:32 AM: Many nice ladies? theres about 3 and i only interest in erika and a bit of poison lady.
i like Gennosuke special power,and oboro's deadly special,more like a fatality in mortal kombat ha.

Post by: s_leonhart on January 25, 2007, 01:13:15 PM: enjoyed the movie. i'd say pretty well done. i like their costume design
Title: SHINOBI the movie
Post by: xerony on January 25, 2007, 01:32:46 PM: the film is nice. Tho are the fights too short.
I also found the movement in a fight looking to much like anime
Title: SHINOBI the movie
Post by: Allakis on January 25, 2007, 03:41:28 PM: It was kind of cheesy but i liked the character designs and the mood the director created before fights.. Although the fights ended a little too fast for my liking =\
Title: SHINOBI the movie
Post by: fullyinsane on February 05, 2007, 03:37:11 PM: probably i like to watch this movie because of my beloved erika sawajiri XD...after read the previous posts...maybe i need to watch the anime version too..and not to forget the manga...i hope i can start to like the movie not just because of the actress...need to understand the storyline....:)
Title: SHINOBI the movie
Post by: d148lo on February 06, 2007, 06:00:47 PM: good character design, rly nice action scenes with all those cool jutsu, not the best storyline, but overall i enjoyed it tho

Post by: lemonado on March 08, 2007, 06:20:31 AM: This movie was so-so.. Well I like Naruto and it was nice to see some 'live-action' ninjutsu.. :D But Hotarubi aka Sawajiri Erika died too fast.. No gooD~! :ONtantrum:
Title: SHINOBI the movie
Post by: Mikitty-saikou on March 09, 2007, 03:52:23 PM: .....I do agree. The movie was rather fast-paced. But overall, good. It earns a 7/10 for me as well.

I actually stumbled across this movie looking at Yukie's dramawiki page. (I had just finished watching Gokusen and looking for other dramas she would be in and saw "Shinobi: Heart under Blade" XD).

I loved all the special effects. Especially Oboro's "death stare" and Hotarubi's magic 'dust'.

I was kind of sad at the end when Gennosuke died. :(..

Post by: conannd on May 16, 2007, 02:46:34 AM: yeahh.. how could u.. how could u miss that kawaii musume.. even she is in dark mood with no intention in living on her eyes...... but i think... she perfectly resemble a cute kunoichi ohhohoo....
Title: Re: SHINOBI the movie
Post by: stoneden on May 20, 2007, 08:01:38 AM: I really enjoyed this movie, too. Maybe a 8/10.

It was fast paced like some of you guys said, but it was an action movie. If it slowed down a bit, then it would of got boring for me.

Only thing that made me said "What?", was at the end. With all the special effects in the movie, Yukie had no signs of any damage.

(Hope that didn't spoil it for you guys that have not seen it.)
