"Forget about the fact that you're the 'Rain,'the popular singer. Just focus on the thinking that you're Ninja Raizu," Brothers Wachowski, the maker of the Rain-starred new movie, "Ninja Assasins," reportedly reminded him many times during the filming process of the movie. Will the new Korean starred Hollywood movie turn out to be a blockbuster? Maybe not, said Sports Seoul on Saturday.

Rain may be a global celebrity as a singer. But when it comes to a movie actor, he is a newbie and the movie will be a testing ground for his acting potential for global audience.

For the last eight months, Rain was trained to think like a Ninja, act like a Ninja and talk like a Ninja. His daily schedule included flying around the movie setting in Hollywood. His body became pronounced with muscles.

"But when the move is completed, it was a big disappointment, comparable to the big expectation that people had while the movie was being made," it said.

"Rain has come to have an immaculate six-pack body. But his acting still leaves much to be desired," it said.

But Rain's bigger Arichilles' Hill, it said, was his broken English. "The challenge of speaking English was a big challenge for Rain. He spoke with unnatural pronunciation and exaggerated accent. The unnaturalness left the viewers uncomfortable," it said.
