Tweekums Set in sixteenth century Japan this film opens a group of Iga Ninjas attacking an Oda castle. After blowing it up they must fight off a group of rival ninjas. Then on the way back to their village they see a ball of fire in the sky. After returning home they are ordered to investigate the fireball. In the forests they encounter more rival ninjas but something attacks and wipes out the enemy; they have no idea what this monster is or where it came from but they know they have to defeat it. For the rest of the film they battle these alien monsters.During the opening scene I started to think that this might be terrible; as we were introduced to our protagonists; Yamata, the leader; Jinnai, his friend with a diamond stud in one ear; Rin, a sexy female ninja and Nezumi, a blond haired cowardly ninja I was sure my fears had just been confirmed... then something strange happened; I realised that I was gripped. The characters may have been somewhat ridiculous but they were also a lot of fun. Likewise the monsters may have been the most obvious 'men in rubber suits' since early 'Doctor Who' but they were still surprisingly menacing. The action was over the top and pretty bloody, with heads being severed and squashed and one ninja ripped in two. There are a few surprises; most notably when we learn what the monsters can do to some of their victims. The cast do a solid enough job; they clearly know they aren't in a great film but still made an effort; they particularly impress during the numerous fight scenes. Overall I'd say this won't be for everybody; being objective it is a bit rubbish but being subjective it is a lot more fun than it has any right to be... I'd recommend it to anybody wanting a fun monster movie with action, gore and laughs!These comments are based on watching the film in Japanese with English subtitles.

revdkooi771 I haven't seen much movies that are worse than this. Probably not 1.First off, you can't put random people in Ninja outfits, and expect them to be Ninja's! Worst Ninjas ever put into a movie. Oh, and Ninjas don't cry and wine all the time!Second, pff... how do i say this without crying behind my computer... The Aliens, they remind me of the Power Rangers era, except the enemy's of the power rangers in their outfits wore better costumes then these aliens...Then... worst is yet to come, some fighting scenes are pretty cool (especially between 2 ninjas), but with the aliens... The aliens dance like the powers rangers did, and... they... there is one scene, where they... pfff, they jump trough the air, shooting... shooting people! Yes, shooting. Aliens that shoot guns from ninjas. There are a couple of things wrong with that, first off, real ninjas don't use guns, second, its wrong because its just wrong, and third, why jumping?!?!Well, it's not not entertaining, its more laughable entertaining, because the movie was supposed to be serious... :PWell, you have to see it for yourself, just make sure not to spend (much) money on it.See it when you are drunk, with some friends and wanna laugh hard about how bad it is.

Dominik Schlatter i don't know what got into me when i bought this DVD. it must have been the little i-like-trashy-movies-guy inside my brain (the one who laughed so hard when Ash shot his evil twin in the face... remember?).anyway.it all started with the embarrassing ninjas jumping from the rooftop at the very beginning. my sucky-movie-detector flashed an angry red...i was still motivated to watch it. (i mean come on, bad effects happened even in blade 2)it's a ninja movie. i expected some great fights. and there were some! thank you for that.but here's what annoyed me to no end: the blond guy and the monster. i know it's trashy on purpose. but there are different kinds of trash. entertaining trash and the kind that just annoys you. machete is a good example for good 'bad films'. alien vs ninja represents the other kind.i wont say more. you can heed my warning or go ahead and watch it. your move, pal!

Medacakathareal I sat down to watch this on Netflix assuming it would be just plain awful based on the title alone. What I actually got is an low-budget poorly dubbed but ultimately very fun gore-fest of a film. Some of the action sequences actually aren't half bad and while the CGI and monster suit both are low-budget and the dubbing is just awful there is some semi-decent fight choreography. There is also a lot of humor, some intentional, some not so much.If you sit down with low expectations you can get a lot out of this film. For one thing there's a beautiful Asian ninja to look at, a goofy rubber alien, gory ridiculous death scenes that seem like something out FEAST or a Sam Raimi flick.Not sure how highly I'd really be willing to recommend it but you could do a lot worse, and I mean a lot worse (I'm looking at you Thankskilling).
