Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Scott LeBrun Amiable sequel to the popular Cannon Group martial arts potboiler reunites Michael Dudikoff and Steve James as Army Rangers Armstrong and Jackson. They're recruited for a mission on a Caribbean island: find out who has been abducting various Marines. The trail leads to a nefarious drug kingpin (Gary Conway), his chief henchman (Mike Stone), and his army of genetically engineered ninjas.The genetic tampering is an amusing hook, along with a tone that heavily stresses the tongue in cheek. If one were to take this seriously, it would indeed come off as a pretty bad action flick. But there's so much silliness - especially in terms of script and performance - on display that it's hard to believe that Cannon Group ninja movie specialist Sam Firstenberg, and screenwriters Conway and James Booth, didn't intend the movie to be at least partly comedic. That makes it pretty agreeable, if also largely forgettable.Certainly one of the most entertaining elements is the chemistry between studs Dudikoff and James. The former is of course decidedly low key, the latter much more extroverted, and they do get along quite nicely. The supporting cast features a fair amount of nondescript players, but Conway (known for 'Burke's Law', 'Land of the Giants', and for being the original Teenage Frankenstein) seems to be having some fun. Michelle Botes adds some enjoyable female eye candy, in the only substantial female role, and MA expert Stone is a reasonably striking villain, complete with facial scar.Good fun overall, even if it won't be quite violent enough to suit some tastes.Six out of 10.

Harriet Deltubbo This film is worthy of all the hopes you have. I really wanted to like this film. Ain't no such thing as too much Michael Dudikoff, baby! The real centerpiece of the film is its acting, mainly that of Dudikoff. This is a story about a place most people might not be able to conceive. All the characters struggle against a system that has perpetuated falsehoods. Against this backdrop, our ninja hero must fight on in a sequel that is on par with the original. Great performances help to enhance this amazing story of ninja warfare and violence. I give it a rating of 7 out of 10 because it's flawed but good.

ebiros2 This to me is the best out of American Ninja series movies. The story flows much better than the first movie, and everything is better integrated in this movie than the first installment.Another great thing about this movie is that the scenery is beautiful. This really added to its atmosphere.Michael Dudikoff and Steven Jones looked great in the Marine's uniform, and the cast of girls they collected (even as extras) were notches above the other movies from this series.If there's one American Ninja series movie to watch, this one is highly recommended.

disdressed12 to me,this sequel had a more developed plot line than the first movie.it a fairly preposterous one,but it is semblance of a story nonetheless.and besides,reality doesn't necessarily factor into these movies in a big way,so that's not surprising.there are many more fight sequences in this one as well.and to me,the fight scenes seemed better executed,much more exciting.the acting is no better or worse than in the first one.i actually think as a whole the movie is slightly better due to the improved fight sequences.again you just have to remember that it's not high art you're in for when you sit down to view this film,or it's prequel/sequels.it basically a disposable(but enjoyable)ninety +/-minutes.for me,American Ninja 2: The Confrontation is an 8/10
