User Reviews

another great movie:)

well, I don't care what others say about this movie. it is a wonderful sequel and although I liked the two ninjas they had in the first one, they did a good job replacing them, for whatever reason that they did. But to me it is still a ninja movie b/c it still has my fav ninja in it and it still has Grandpa. and they do a great job at making it feel like the other two had always been there.I love that this shows more of their sacrificial side and how when they find out that Grandpa is in trouble they drop every thing and will stop at nothing to get to him and help him. unlike most movies nowadays, it's clean and entertaining. that is amazing:) I really love it as I do the first and third ones. Even though they disagree a lot in the movie, they never once use their "Ninja Knowledge" to take on each other:) It's a wonderful movie, I've grown up with it and I thank God for the memories that I have with it.
