Review of 3 Ninjas

3 Ninjas (1992)
7/10
A movie for the kiddies
13 January 2005
I saw this movie for the first time when I was eight, and at the time extremely interested in anything having to do with martial arts and acrobatics. I simply loved the movie! It had the right amount of comedy and the right amount of action. It has similarities to Home Alone, so if you're a fan of those, I'll recommend this one strongly. Keep in mind that this is a movie for children, and unless you have a certain fascination for one of the actors, it won't be as amusing to see this as an adult. Most kids like seeing movies about kids who can take out or outsmart adults, but to the rest of us, it doesn't seem very realistic.

If you can see it as purely entertainment, then you might have some fun. The kicks and punches are great to watch for martial arts folks, and to those who've seen a bit of that: the three kids' styles are very different ;)

There are two other movies in the same style that are worth having a look at: "3 Ninja Kids Kicks Back" and "3 Ninja Kids Knuckle Up" The last one, however (with different, and might I add, much younger actors), was a great disappointment from beginning to end.

My vote for this one will be based upon the fact that this IS a kids flick and not meant to have adults sitting there in anticipation in front of the screen. I'll give it a seven.
