A Major Disappointment
I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
View MoreThe first must-see film of the year.
There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
View MoreI have seen plenty of bad movies in my life, and while not the worst for me, Pocket Ninjas is quite frankly terrible. Here it has all the ingredients to make a bad movie bad, and just watching it even in a good mood is almost the equivalent of having a really bad migraine. The production values are hideous, with the costumes enough to make you want to gouge your eyes out and the cinematography haphazard and the sets horrible. I also detest the soundtrack, it is so bad it makes the Garbage Pail Kids Movie soundtrack sound good. The script is abysmal, while the plot is incoherent and confusing, the pacing uneven, the fights poorly choreographed and the direction non-existent. The acting is probably the most laughable asset of all, it is so hilariously bad, with every single actor and actress giving a career-killing performance. All in all, terrible and a waste of time. 1/10 Bethany Cox
View MoreHoly Christ. sorry, but i have to get it off my chest. i just finished watching this movie, and felt i needed to REGISTER on this site just to write a review just to express my hatred for this movie. there are countless errors in this movie, and the production values......ugh all i am saying is i could fund a better quality movie with whats in my wallet right now. harsh? no, not at all. it looks like they filmed this thing on a video phone. and the plot..... first off we find our so called 'heroes' in a dojo with their trainer 'white Dragon' but they don't know he is white dragon, they are being informed of white dragon foiling robbers and such. this sparked my attention because later in the movie they saw white dragon on a Japanese comic, they were wondering who he was, even though they were informed of him in the first FIVE MINUTES of the movie. another thing that annoyed me is their costumes. their ninjas right? wrong. they wear black suits, colored maskes, CLOWN WIGS and roller blades. yeah, VERY stealthy. now we come to THE worst scene in the entire movie, if not in film history. we find white dragon fighting Cobra Khan in a balloon factory. and by balloon factory i mean a bunch of clowns in a room blowing up balloons. well here we are, the fight between cobra khan and white dragon, well they do anything but fight. the mighty white dragon is just bouncing on balloons and telling each other that 'nah nah cant get meh' and the ever dreadful 'neener neener!' I could swear at one point i heard my television crying in sorrow. the long and short of it is i wanted to stab my eyes out with a rusty knife. Yeah, not a very good movie.
View MorePocket Ninjas is one of the few movies that is so bad it's good. Most of the movie is flashback, but poorly done and confusing. The plot has more holes than the finest swiss cheese, and it takes 9 minutes for the opening credits to end. I personally found the patty-cake "battle" between the White Dragon and one of Cobra Khan's cronies in the carnival absolutely hilarious. The location for this movie is perfect. The dojo is right next to a liquor store, but nobody seems to mind. The training sequences are long, obnoxious and downright painful. This is quite possibly the worst "professional" production I have ever seen. All in all, the perfect formula for the perfect awful movie.
View MoreThe special appearances by Chuck Woolrey, William Hung and Fabio/Sammy Hagar/Roger Daltrey make this the summer hit for 2006 you don't want to miss! Suzanne Hennigar's turn as Jonathan Brandis's mom was hot...very hot...The PG rating tells you from the beginning that nothing is going to happen, but when you see her on screen, you want it to anyway. You spend the duration of the film also waiting for something to happen between Fabio and his young pupil, Tanya. Overall, a pretty good film. Some minor repetition of sequences and corny dialogue, but all-in-all, worth the $1. IMDb demands that we type in ten lines of text. Therefore, we'll dedicate the next six lines to sharing our top ten favorite moments in this epic ninja adventure. 10. Weird eye makeup on Damien outside the dojo. 9. Susanne's bondage scene. 8. Gameboy with no game. 7. "Mom. They took my Mom." 6. Willy Wonka-esquire balloon scene. 5. Running-up-the-wall kick in final scene. 4. Over-sized virtual reality helmet. 3. Fat, creepy girlfriend Amy at end of movie. 2. Sexual tension between Mario Lopez and Tanya. 1. Sexual tension between Gary Daniels and Suzanne Hennegar.
