Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

ALIEN VS NINJA is a low rent sci-fi flick from Japan which basically sees a director assembling a handful of actors, taking them out to the woods and filming a series of short, brutal and ballistic fight sequences while trying to string together something resembling a plot. It's kind of like the zombie film VERSUS, yet lacking that movie's finesse and vitality, probably because the budget is a great deal lower. Instead of a plot, we get cheesy humour, even cheesier computer graphics and the dodgiest looking alien since the days of the '50s-era B-movie.Sexy ninja Mika Hijii spends much of the running time battling the alien threat in a skin-tight PYC costume; the director ensues she's either doing the splits or flying through the air artfully at all times. The aliens are silly and kind of fun, and the hyper-kinetic action can be a hoot at times. There are touches of black comedy, like a crow plucking at a severed head's eyeball, thrown into the mix as well.Is this a good movie? Far from it: it's dumb, plot less, predictable and clearly made on the cheap. Is it an entertaining movie? To a degree, yes; not something I'd consider watching again (it lacks the genuine B-movie intricacy of a film like CYBORG COP) but it passes the time for undemanding genre fans.

I think this movie deserves 6\10. At first half it has some boring scenes. The special effects sometimes are cheap like it was made on youtube. However the jokes are so cool and free and same time they not evil and hypocrite like I see in all same and predictable Hollywood movies. I really hate Hollywood movies this days. They are morally retarded and primitive. Like Avatar for example. Amazing visuals yet so dumb and retarded.AvN mostly seems to be a parody. The fights are funny at times. Some moments are completely bizarre like that f*ck you episode. I think fights made pretty nice here. Good funny movie.I liked the music played there. Reminded me of video games music.The actor play at times is prolonged. And some moments are prolonged.The overall feel after movie - that was fun.It gave me good laughter. I think jokes were creative and not hypocrite.

My god, I laughed and laughed...with it and at it. I was of course expecting a romp, but not.."this". They knew what they were filming from the start and it shows beautifully. Choreography was great, cinematography ditto.As to people dissing this work of art I only say : loosen up, guys!"revdkooi771" said that aliens and ninjas looked cheap blah, blah. Of course they look cheap, look at the budget. Look at the title of the movie. Does it reek with seriousness? I think not. It's like I buy a Justin Beiber CD, listen to it and say it's bad, the music is amateurish...of course it is and it's our fault if we can't turn on our brains and deduct that before we waste time, money and remaining grey cells.But hey, everyone has a right to speak his mind

I saw this at the world premiere at the New York Asian Film Festival and it was a great deal of fun. Its a film where the title tells the whole story and if you're good with that you'll have a great time.The plot of the film has a fireball fall to earth "several hundred years ago"(nudge nudge). In it are some aliens which go about tearing up the villages. Into the mix are a bunch of ninja who stumble upon the creatures and decide to take them on. Thats it.This is a very knowing, very bloody, very fun film that doesn't try to do anything other than entertain. Most of the effects are very good, though the monsters are very much men in suits, which is fine. I mean they aren't reinventing the wheel just trying to have a good time.High art its not. High fun it is.Crack open a cool one, get some popcorn and some friends and enjoy.
