- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2025Good film and enjoyed it
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2014This is the first of two movies with Scott Adkins and the story continues in the second - "Ninja: Shadow of a Tear". To get maximum enjoyment, you really need to watch both - Please read my review of "Ninja Shadow of a Tear" which covers both movies.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2019Really enjoyed this movie, found it very entertaining, i wasn't looking for perfection, the exaggerated blood just added character to the movie, can't wait to get the follow up, i would recommend this seller and product, but only like me you don't tack it too seriously,By the way the quality. is great.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 February 2014If this film came out in the 80s it would have been right up there with the American Ninja series. This is not a slight on Scott Adkins, as I think he is phenomenal talent in martial arts. There was just something missing for me in this film. All the ingredients seemed to be there. They had a lead man (Adkins) who looks and makes the part. There was just something miss for me. The film just seemed a little dated for me.
Adkins is brought up in a Ninja training school in japan. Being the only westerner he has to work harder then everyone else to earn his place there. The head boy (or best student) takes and instant dislike to him. Partly seeing him as a rival, and partly because of the attraction between Adkins and the Sensei's daughter. Not being able to control his anger at Adkins get him thrown out of the school, when he is over aggressive and uses a real sword in a sparring match.
After doing thrown out this student become more high tech version of a Ninja assassin. Complete with body armour and night vision goggles. He still uses ninja stars, but replaces the more traditional bow and arrows with guns (good choice). Yet he still wants what he feels was his, the traditional Ninja amour kept in a box in the dojo. Making his intentions know to take it by force. The box is moved to America. Adkin and the sensei's daughter are sent to guard it. Now the battle spills over to America. Complete with an evil cult of evil oil barons, with their own agenda.
Huge gore factor in this film. Absolute fountains of blood, after slashes or gunshots. The martial arts are great acrobatic displays, but the filming does look dated. If it was made in 30 years ago even with a fraction of the budget it would have been a block buster. The film was just ok for me nothing special.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2022Fighting, shooting, adkins what's not to like

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2014This film is so much better than the first one, It has a great storyline and follows on from the first ninja film. The fight scenes are really good. One of the best ninja type films i have seen. If you liked ninja assassin i would recommend this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars „Ninja – Revenge Will Rise“ auf der „Black Edition“ DVD – ein sehr guter Ninja- und Actionfilm!
Der Inhalt des Films ist bei den bisherigen zahlreichen Rezensionen bereits ausführlich beschrieben. Weitere Ausführungen hierzu spare ich mir daher.
Wichtig ist, entweder die ungeschnittene „Black Edition“ DVD mit dem „Uncut Version“ – Aufdruck auf der Covervorderseite und dem Hinweis „SPIO JK geprüft: Keine schwere Jugendgefährdung“ auf der DVD selbst bzw. eine andere Version mit „SPIO JK“ – Freigabe zu besitzen.
Auf der FSK 18 DVD fehlen zwar „nur“ 3 Minuten. Im Vergleich zwischen der Uncut DVD und der FSK 18 DVD (die ich als Teil der Ninja „Double Feature“ DVD ebenfalls habe) fallen aber insgesamt 27 Schnitte auf! Für einen Freund von ungekürzten Filmen ist die FSK 18 – Version schlichtweg unbrauchbar.
Die Angaben bei der Produktinformation auf Amazon „Spieldauer: 80 Minuten“ für die Black Edition DVD (derzeit für rund 12 € zu kaufen) ist also unzutreffend, da diese 83 Minuten beträgt.
Was soll ich sagen, mir hat dieser Film und seine Fortsetzung „Ninja – Pfad der Rache“ sehr gut gefallen. Scott Adkins ist schlichtweg ein sehr guter Action-Darsteller. Charakterrollen darf man von ihm nicht erwarten. Käufer von seinen Filmen wissen aber, was sie bekommen. Schade ist, dass es „Ninja“ nur auf eine Fortsetzung brachte und nicht wie „Undisputed“ auf insgesamt 3 Filme mit Scott Adkins in der Hauptrolle.
Als Bonus sind auf der DVD zwei interessante, sehenswerte Featurettes: ein Making Of (19 Minuten, deutsch untertitelt) und ein Behind The Scenes (11 Minuten ohne deutsche Untertitel) enthalten. Bild und Ton der DVD sind sehr gut.
Nach meiner Wertung volle 5 Sterne (wie auch für den Nachfolger „Ninja – Pfad der Rache).
Dies nicht nur, weil ich Filme mit Scott Adkins mag, sondern weil mich Inhalt und Action überzeugt haben. Ich besitze auch Filme mit Scott Adkins, die mich weniger überzeugt haben, wie z. B. Hard Target 2, den ich dann auch nur mit 3 Sternen bewerte.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ninja (Blu-ray)
Movie - 4.0
Here's the plot in haiku:
Bad jealous ninja
fights American ninja
for number one title.
Despite its simplistic plot (aren't all ninja movies?), low-budget production (which actually didn't look too bad in some parts), a direct-to-video debut, and the fact that it's helmed by Issac Florentine (yes, the same Issac Florentine that directed many a Power Rangers episode), I have to admit this is actually one of the better ninja titles I've seen since the U.S. ninja boom of the '80s. The first American Ninja and any Sh' Kosugi film still hold a nostalgic place in my heart for the cool, campy, yet bloody portrayal that are ninja. And let's face it, when we think of ninja here in the States we usually think of the stealthy, shadow-sneaking, cold-blooded assassin, right? Ninja (this film) does a great job bypassing any real attempt of a story, maybe only believable for a video game or one-shot anime movie, and skips right to the focal point of what makes ninjas so cool -- the style. In addition to the weaponry and costuming, I notice this movie really puts an emphasis on the actual martial arts/hand-to-hand combat aspect. Even with the mediocre visual effects, I think the movie especially excels in the fight choreography department and even has some excellent Snyder-esque cinematography as Mr. Somner mentioned in his editorial review. Scott Adkins looks very fluid and natural with all those spin kicks. And I feel I must make special mention to Tsuyoshi Ihara as the villain. His character's intentions are pretty clear cut, but he really does a great job playing one heck of a rival ninja. Another factor I really enjoy is the fact that they actually divided the script between English and Japanese dialogue to obtain a more realistic atmosphere. On the other end of the spectrum, though, it's still a low-budget B-movie, so if you happen to chuckle or laugh out loud at some of the poor acting and script, it's completely understandable. Invariably, this will probably get a lot of comparisons to the also recent Ninja Assassin. I enjoy both, though I'd have to give Assassin a slight edge for the higher production values and slightly more solid acting/writing (which isn't by much, but there have to be standards at some point, high-budget or not).
Video - 4.5
Brought to you by First Look Studios in 1080p at an original aspect ratio of 2.35:1 (framed at 2.39), Ninja presents itself remarkably well for a low-budget B-movie. Detail and skin textures are tight from the very opening of the movie. Colors are well-balanced with no traces of weird tint. Black levels, while excellent, are a little underwhelmed by the contrast during the night/dark scenes. However, I actually found it to be an effect of the lighting used on-stage. Normally darkness results in very grainy shots, but thanks to the artificial lighting, many of those scenes looked much clearer instead. In fact, the transfer is so clean that it really brings out some of the cheapness of the CG. But with that said, my only complaint is with the one scene around the beginning where Sensei is in the darkness of the dojo. It's extremely grainy, but fixes itself in about 3 or 4 seconds. Aside from that, all things considered the film looks near-reference.
Audio - 5.0
Wow, the LFEs are killer. I don't know how such a low-budget film can afford to create such a kick-ass lossless track. Music, gunshots, and dramatic rumbling effects are outstanding on this English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track. Dialogue doesn't even lose volume amidst all the chaotic fight sequences, and I'm confident to say this is one diamond-in-the-rough of a reference disc. Surrounds offer great separation between flying/crashing objects, sword-slashing, and punches/kicks. One funny thing I find they like to accentuate is the sound of cracking knuckles. For whatever reason, they surely don't look like they're flexing hard enough, but it seems to sound cool anyway. Don't let this film's B-movie status fool you. Regardless of monetary and developmental constraints, this is definitely worth showcasing on your home theaters.
Overall - 4.5
Ninja as a movie completely blew my expectations out of the water. It's cheesy at times, maybe even discombobulating at others, but I find myself oddly enamored by the very nature and presentation of all the ninja elements. With some excellent choreography and cinematography the movie does a very good job killing 87 minutes in style. If you grew up in the '80s watching a good number of those Americanized ninja films, I am willing to bet you'll enjoy this title as well. It's not quite as flashy and stylized as Ninja Assassin, but it's a darn good effort that really outdoes itself with reference audio and near-reference video. Give it a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPER
Très bon film d'arts martiaux avec de belles prises d'aïkido magnifiquement exécutées !
Par contre, les affrontements au katana (sabre japonais) très réalistes, doivent être réservés aux jeunes à partir de 12 ans, car ces scènes sont très violentes, on voit très clairement les coupes de bras, de tête et le sang qui jailli de manière très réelle !
A voir et à revoir pour les passionnés, mais attention au public qui le verra.
