Nov. 28th, 2009 10:05 pmSo I watched Ninja Assassin tonight! GO WATCH IT.
The bad:
Women in Fridges: 2 (1 total fridging, one a bit more complex)
Times it passed the Bedchel Test: 0
Times I wanted to yell at the female lead "NO, DON'T DO THAT!": 1
The good:
Awesome POC leads: 2
Times 2 POCs talked to each other about something other than white people: Lost count
Times Rain was shirtless: Lost count
Times Rain was tied up: 2
Times I thought, "Hey, flash step!": 3
Times I found myself working on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover: 2
The YMMV:
Arterial bloodsprays: Lost count
Flying body parts: Lost count
Rain kissing scenes: Only 2, and both pretty tame
Boy band/pop star jokes: 1
Times Rain was in the RAIN: Lost count
Camp value: APPROACHING INFINITY
So yeah. RECOMMENDED.
