Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is exactly as advertised: one-liners, brawls, and general silliness. Good for the young at heart, irritating for everyone else. Read critic reviews

Movie Info
In New York, mysterious radioactive ooze has mutated four sewer turtles into talking, upright-walking, crime-fighting ninjas. The intrepid heroes -- Michelangelo (Robbie Rist), Donatello (Corey Feldman), Raphael (Josh Pais) and Leonardo (Brian Tochi) -- are trained in the Ninjutsu arts by their rat sensei, Splinter. When a villainous rogue ninja, who is a former pupil of Splinter, arrives and spreads lawlessness throughout the city, it's up to the plucky turtles to stop him.

Jun 03, 2016Pretty good for its year, Full of funny moments most of them are silly, The fight scenes were good fun but the story is abit silly, Kids will like it and that's all this film goes for as it's very faithful to the 80's/90's cartoon TV series.Jamie C Super Reviewer

Jan 26, 2016As good as it was ever going to get, and that's seriously saying something. Look, I'll admit that I'm under the sentimental influence, but the thing is I've been back to this movie many times, and not that long ago. It still has that special something for me, and I certainly don't consider it a guilty pleasure. It's very much a labour of love.

Oct 05, 2013Cowabunga! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles come out of the sewers and onto the big screen in this live-action feature. Investigative reporter April O'Neil discovers that a mysterious crime syndicate known as the Foot is behind a crime wave that's sweeping New York City, and when they go after her a group of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles come to her rescue. Jim Henson's Creature Shop has created some interesting character designs for the Turtles, but the acting is rather poor. And, the writing is also weak; particularly the dialog, which is extremely cheesy. The soundtrack however, is impressive and fits the hip-hop style of the '90s. For what it is, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a campy ramp that's a bit of fun.Dann M Super Reviewer
