One of my all time favorites.

A Disappointing Continuation

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

NINJAS VS. MONSTERS is an example of the usual goofball indie horror movie. A bunch of amateurs run around in an abandoned warehouse and battle other non-actors in make-up who are supposed to be playing classic monsters. It plays out as a juvenile comedy but contains nothing more than bad gags and worse acting. It's the dumbest of the dumb and pointless to watch.

I can't believe another reviewer lasted as long as twenty minutes. I watched ten and couldn't watch any more. Everything about this is bad. The filming, lighting, sound, script are all dire. Some of the actors seem okay but not enough to make this watchable. Instead of wondering what happens I found myself wondering why any distributor would possibly inflict this film on anyone.

True, I had very little expectations to a movie such as this, I mean with a title such as "Ninjas vs. Monsters" and having read the synopsis of the movie. But still, this movie has ninjas in it, and that alone invokes giving the movie a chance.I gave it a chance. But my patience and interest in the movie was assassinated, perhaps by ninjas, about 20 minutes into the movie. Then I just couldn't take anymore of it. It was just a scrambled mess of a movie in every aspect.The storyline, well, let's just say that it is a group of ninjas (who actually is nowhere near the definition of ninja in any coherent way) who has to fight iconic monsters.Right...I think it was the Dracula character and the actor (Sam Lukowski) who portrayed him that was the icing on the cake that was too much for me. The accent that he opted to portray the iconic vampire count was just something drawn randomly out of a bag and added with a pseudo-eastern European accent (or what he thought was an accent).The fight scenes that I managed to sit through were abysmal, and you have to look long and hard to find anything like it in other movies. This was so bad that it wasn't even fun to watch.Now, I am sure that the actors, actresses and the entire film crew were having a blast making this movie. But for us in the audience, it wasn't the same experience.I managed to stick with "Ninjas vs. Monsters" for about 20 minutes, and I can in all honesty say that I am never ever going to return to this movie to try to finish it. This is one of those types of movies that you forget all about almost immediately after having seen it.Stay well clear of this movie.

Oh Lord help me I've wasted a bit of my life watching this.The dialogue was just so cheesy it was hard to listen to and the action scenes were stunted and poor at best.Don't get me wrong, I love low budget movies but the acting in this was so bad that it had me reaching for my phone to check eBay within the first 15 minutes.The whole thing was massively corny and looked like it was filmed in someone's garage.You know I would've happily forgiven all of the above criticism if this movie just wasn't such a borefest.Do yourself a favour and give this one a miss.
