Review by HorrorSage ★★★★
Good evening and welcome fellow Children of Chaos.
Watched for the Crap Movie Collective.
Fuck you, this shit was awesome.
I only have a passing knowledge of Valliant comics. Mostly Bloodshot, H.A.R.D. and XO. However, I figured this shit out pretty quick. Ninjak is a Batman pastiche with a stupid name, Livewire is another Black Lightning hero, Johnny Mundo is Atila the Hun but Immortal. Don't need a galaxy brain to figure this out.
Plus I got to see Johnny Impact and Tommy Oliver in the same movie.
No I am not doing all of Johnny Nitro's names. I did that in my Boone the Bounty Hunter Review.
So the issue I have with Marvel, and I don't want to…

Review by Grey the Dot ★★ 2
Let me pitch you this, basically Batman has to outmaneuver the entire Justice League because a villain is forcing him to against his will. That's basically the perfect sett up for a cinematic universe story. You get to see all the characters you know and love and they get to fight/interact in interesting ways we haven't seen before.
Here's where Ninjak vs The Valiant Universe fails at telling a cinematic universe story. First, it's a web series whose scope is way beyond its budget. Let me put it into perspective. It's a three-step ladder. At the top you have Superhero movies, they cost a million billion dollars and look great most of the time. In the middle you have superhero…

Review by Arkham Knight Rider ★★½
Watched for Crap Movie Collective:
“Sir, that’s for the children!”
This basically feels like either a big long commercial for all the Valiant comics characters or glorified fan service. Can’t really decide to behonest.As a movie, it’s not awful, but I get the feeling that this would have worked better as a 30 to 45 mintute episode of a cartoon rather than 72 minute movie. As is, it’s a passable time waster that I was never really attached to. The only thing keeping me hooked was BloodShot, who is the only character from this roster I knew about not cared about. The rest didn’t impress me much and nearly all the comedy is rather poor.
The acting is decent…

Review by John Gholson ★½ 1
Valiant treated this somewhat like a Really for Real movie, and I’m not 100% sure why. It neither makes them look good (I love Valiant Comics, but c’mon, oof) nor is it honest about what it is, which is a licensed fan film by folks who do cosplay superhero battles for YouTube.
Fighting action is clear and every single thin dime of the effects work is right there on the screen. But it’s also the kind of movie where the villain watches the hero on an omnipresent view screen and says “Ouch, that must’ve hurt!” when things look like they must’ve hurt. I don’t have a lot of tolerance for the kind of thing this is serving up - over an hour of meaningless video game fight scenes using real people and lots of bad tough guy dialogue.

How can a low budget super hero movie do better than any marvel movie. I fucking love this!

Review by Sternwise ★★★
What appears to be a shitty Asylum movie is actually based upon a comic company's characters called Valiant.
Watching this feels like watching an unaired pilot for a never-made television series. Which could have been alright, but replace the guy who plays Ninjak, 'thor-man' dude, fake iron man, and the fake british guy.
These actors aren't very good.
The production value isn't that bad, the worst parts are the CG gunfire.
The action is actually pretty good, better than anything on the CW.
The only reason I watched this film is because of Jason David Frank who plays Bloodshot, some sort of nanobot infected immortal guy with a gun. Jason David Frank is the MMA guy who played the original…

Review by NerdLantern ★★★½
I like this! It had a gang of potential! My main gripe, is with the picture quality. I know it's low budget, and I don't care! This needed sharper visuals, and it would've been a more formidable contender. All in all, worth checking (it's free)!

Review by Jason ★★★
Ninjak vs the Valiant Universe was way better than I feared it would be. It’s cheesy and cheap and makes the case that the Valiant universe is a super low rent imitation of the MCU but Ninjakworks witha mindset of watching a goofy little nothing which reminds of the kind of crap which used to play at 2 am on Night Flight,l.
I’ve just finished attending way too many art type films at SIFF over the last two weeks, so maybe this hit me different than it would if my mind wasn’t so addled.

Review by Dreamiestboat
At an earlier point this year I decided I was going to read every appearance of Valiant Comics' Batman-they-have-at-home character Ninjak purely because I like saying the word Ninjak. This was a bad decision, because it turns out Ninjak stinks, but I'm no quitter and so finished this Herculean labour today and capped it off with this official offering. Fan-film level stuff but the fight scenes are actually kind of okay. The guy who plays Archer is obviously a stuntman and I support stuntmen getting to show off as themselves and not as stand-ins. Glad to see Chains from Payday 2 getting work. I wonder if JoMo went by "Johnny Valiant" on set...
It's very funny that Ninjak's entire thing for 30 years has been being aggressively British and here he's just a Canadian guy.
