Best thing about Ninja Assassin is all the gore. There’s a ton of it, but it’s almost all CGI, and it just looks weird as hell. I hope I never see the day when all the blood in all the bloody movies coming out is CGI, but for one movie, it’s a really fun novelty. Second-best thing about Ninja Assassin is this guy, Rain, a floppy-haired Korean pop star whose first movie was called I’m a Cyborg But That’s OK. He delivers all his lines in the Christian-Bale-as-Batman gravelly whisper thing, like that’s going to make us forget that he’s a floppy haired Korean pop star named Rain. So yeah, Ninja Assassin was great.
