I guess I'll be in the minority, as I actually like the cover art. Definite Blu-ray purchase for me, not just for the exclusive features but because a lot of the fight scenes (especially the final one)are incredibly beautiful.

Oh, and to shamelessly plug my blog (Film Foxhole - in my sig below), I wrote a review of this flick back when it was in theaters, in case anyone is on the fence. Basically, my conclusion is: it is titled "Ninja Assassin." You get what you should expect, and nothing more.

What do you mean?

I think he's referring to the whole Lena Wachowski thing.

Fun action film and nothing more. Brilliant use of the traditional ninja weapon known as the  kusarigama I believe. As a student of the art of Ninjutsu this film is utterly bs. I did find the kusarigama action scenes very entertaining though. The CGI was used well. Unfortunately I found this film as a let down. The world still needs a perfect ninja film.

This movie was so freakin' awesome!! At least they used the original poster artwork for the Blu-ray and DVD releases. Day one Blu-ray purchase for me!!

i was very surprised i liked it alot, alot more blood than i thought would be in the movie, definate buy for me

Was curious about this movie, when it was out in theaters, but ultimately passed on it.  Might be hard to pass this up on release day.  I really need to see a cool ninja movie on Blu-ray!

I'll definitely rent this one because it looked like a fun, cheesy action movie. I don't expect much in terms of acting and story, so I shouldn't be disappointed. Although I didn't go to the cinema to see the film, because here's my logic. I think fun, mindless films are movies that you pay no less than five dollars for. The real films that stand out or the ones that look original, should be the ones you spend your big bucks on. I however, do like the Blu-ray/DVD combo. Very awesome.

I know this is off-topic, but I'm afraid Blu-ray buyers are going to suffer the same as DVD buyers. When I was checking Amazon the other day, I found Princess on the Frog, on Blu-ray, with two different Blu-ray editions. To make sure it wasn't just an exception, Old Dogs also has two Blu-ray editions. Have studios learned anything from this? They're apparently starting the trend with 2012. I'm sick of it. The worst part is that they're charging us MORE for the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack then what we'd originally pay. Then the dumbed down Blu-ray release will be the same price we pay. Those b*****ds!

 The movie was OK, but Michael Dudikoff isn't losing any sleep because of it.

Thank you Stephen Colbert.

This was one of the most fun and surprising film experiences I had last year. A definite Blu purchase for me.
