Ok folks, I'm going to be as objective as I can be. This is just one of those movies-you either like it or you don't. This is not high art, though it tries to be. It's not Bruce Lee either, but then what was he doing at 13 years of age? And yes-all of Victor Wong's Martial arts were doubled by others.
Still, this movie has some fine moments-like the Ninja version of Home alone. 3 Guys are hired by Snyder to kidnap the boys-but these guys have no idea what they are getting themselves into(Snyder knows-but neglects to tell them what the boys can do!)These boys are Ninjas-and they know how to kick butt! These guys get more than what they bargain for! LO! They get bruised, scores and food poisoning. One of them gets tied by a rope made of ties(this goes a bit far I admit.)
Then the boys are Kidnapped by Snyder's own men and are taken to a ship. This is Snyder's hideout. Inside, they are training Ninjas. The boys Do battle with these guys-and the boys win. But by now Snyder and his men are desperate-they turn Guns on them. Just then, Granpa shows up and reminds the boys of the dummy lesson they learned before he takes them home. They use these skills to knock down the big guy who weighs at least 250 pounds-maybe more. Snyder does battle with Grandpa-watch this movie to find out who wins.
I have two Minor Complaints of this film:
A. The Character "Tum Tum" is pathetic. The idea of a child eating Candy all the time and having something hanging from his mouth through out the film is sickening. If you are eating dinner during this movie, you wish you weren't. If this was real life, the kid would be wearing dentures before he turns 30-thank God it's only a movie. They should have given this kid a better character and naming him differently, or taken him out altogether.
B. The Scene where these kids are on their way to school on their bikes, they ride over just about anything they can-showing off and showing disrespect for the neighbors. I thought kids learn respect for others through martial arts?
My favorite Character is Rocky. He has the best moves in this movie.
Bottom Line? You can either like or hate this movie. For me at least, I come in between. It's an OK movie-but I know that, with a better script combined with the talents of these kids-it could be a whole lot better.
On a Scale of 10-I give it a 5.
