Ninjak vs the Valiant Universe

This is what Hollywood wishes it was - it hasn't been this for a long time. Immensely fun and I just don't want to stop watching. Doesn't take itself too seriously, delivers quality, ACTUAL cleverness and a good message. I can only imagine how much more delightful this would be if they had a Hollywood budget to work with. Some of it's not for the kiddies but if this came out on DVD I'd buy it in a hot second. If this was overpriced, I'd still buy it. Sick and tired of movies with no heart, no character and no fun. Note: Valiant Comics had very little do with this work other than licensing it. If you read their comics, do so with caution. Some are great, some are abominable, verging on disgusting. The old Ninjak series is the best, the new ones are hit-or-miss.

The implementation of the costumes of the characters and their abilities, the atmosphere, the performance of the actors and the special effects are incredible. As you ask yourself every time why Hollywood scrap does not get it so synonymous to the series in so many ways. I'm looking forward to it when Ninjak vs The Valiant Universe comes on DVD!

If you hate fun the avoid this at all costs. Because this movie is absolutely fun! It a faithful interpretation of the Valiant comic universe (a comic universe that is amazing if you haven't read it) and the casting is spot on. I love seeing my boy Jason David Frank kicking ass, (my wife really loved Derek Theler... for obvious reasons). Every cast choice is amazing so it really feels like the comics I've loved have come to life.

Go watch this. Do yourself a favor. And cross your finger that this is just the beginning.

Overall, Michael Rowe showed that Ninjak can hold his own in the world of live action heroics. Personally, I stopped watching the CW DC shows this year because they became dull, predictable and featured lackluster villains. The Valiant Universe has so many directions it could go in for a live action series with full length episodes: from Archer and Armstrong taking down the organization Archer's parents are a part of, to Bloodshot taking on the Harbinger team, to Ninjak going after a killer taking down the former Ninja program operatives. That's just the beginning, the Valiant Universe could steal the live action crown with a series based on the amazing Divinity series, or go backwards in time and have a series based on the brilliant Britannia. The sky is literally the limit. Valiant and Bat in the Sun should be extremely proud of the job they did here, as should the entire cast. I hope we see some sort of continuation of this series, it more than deserves it.

This series captured so many of the concepts and characters that make Valiant special in such a short time. The actors provided faithful interpretations of their characters with very little screen time. Fight scenes and effects surpassed expectations. This was made for fans, and it delivered. Hope it shows new people how great the Valiant Universe is!
