summing up the movie and its awsomeness

Shhh, i cant hear. Whats that? 3 Ninjas Kick back is the best movie ever? Yeah thats right it is!!! Way better than the first one, the gang travels to Japan to help out grampa. This movie is jam packed with action and it has ninjas which is always good. After i saw the first movie, i thought to myself, "how can they possibly top this?" Well guess what, they did! This one is so much better. Straight up non stop action. The music totally rocked too. I give it a 10 out of 10 as far as kiddie ninjas in japan flicks go.
