Just watched Ninja Assassin for the second (or third?) time and still absolutely love the film. While the action is hokey whenever you stop to actually consider it (people are cut apart waaaaaaaay too easily), the visuals are incredible and the slowdowns are handled with quite a bit more style than usual. I'm still surprised that the movie's reception was less than favorable and it had a lukewarm box office take, which I assume is why it never saw any sequels featuring the other clans. Granted, it's the kind of film where -- in the absence of a sequel -- I'm okay with it not getting a sequel.

I've never been able to stand anything Millar writes. He always comes across like too much head-up-his-own-ass edgy teen writing for my taste.

He's far from the only writer I feel that way about, though.

I get that. The forced edginess was one of the things I disliked about Wanted, although I still *really* like Wanted on the whole. It's probably in my top 5 favorite TPBs, or at least top 10.

If it's not an action-RPG, I'll already be disappointed.

I'm disappointed that it doesn't use the same combat system as the original game and it's one third of it at most. Good job Squeenix, all you had to do is just give a new coat of paint, add voice acting, and possibly some extra content. (2/3's that you have already done decently). Not a ****ing re-imagining.

A new coat of paint would have bored me. I still have my original discs and I could download the original on PSN if I wanted the original mechanics, etc.
