The one subplot that could have been milked, about a young friend of O'Neil's who falls in with the gang, is handled indifferently and fails to supply much in the way of a youthful identification figure. May 29, 2015 | Full Review…

The cynicism of the motion picture industry will be apparent to any child who is exposed to the many product plugs for a nationwide pizza delivery company. Aug 6, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

As a movie, Ninja Turtles would make a better cereal. It looks like it needs a little milk and mother-wit poured over it, something to make it snap, crackle and pop. Aug 6, 2014 | Full Review…

Ninja Turtles is cluttered and flashy. In terms of plot, there's not much flesh on its bones. Aug 6, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The unapologetically hokey humor and dialogue and characters have their charms for sheer late-'80s kitsch value. Aug 14, 2014 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

Despite brisk direction by Steve Barron, plus unbridled energy and fine special effects, an overt glorification of violence is still at the crux of this stunt film. Aug 6, 2014 | Full Review…
