Yeah... House of Flying Daggers is one of my all time favourite HK movies. Right up there with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Who Am I and The Five Deadly Venoms (funny... all of those were choreographed by Yuen Wu Ping... along with The Matrix...).
I wasn't sure where the new Shinobi movie came from but I was pretty sure it didn't have anything to do with the game other than sharing the same name. I thought it was really well done for what sort of movie it was. I particularly enjoyed watching the fight scenes in Shinobi as they did an excellent job of showing super powers used in a fight.
House of Flying Daggers was another great movie for showing superhuman abilities in a fight but it had even better cinematography, better acting and a more involved story that remained coherant throughout.
Many of those same compliments can be paid to V for Vendetta.
