Good movie but grossly overrated

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy has seen it share of high and lows the first two were awesome and remains two of my favorite movies.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 is by far the worse movie in the series the worst Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and one of the worst movies ever made I can't believe I even gave this movie the time of dayNow I want to go on record saying I am a huge fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but even being a fan wouldn't help this movie because it is just so bad.There is nothing to make this movie even worth your time now the first two did have some flaws but they are still classicThis one there is hardly anything redeemable about it it just goes to show why the third movie in a series always gets the short stick. The acting in this movie is put simply: AWFUL! The actors in the Turtle suits barely even try even poke fun at the movie even at it "Jokes" which goes to show the movie really was doomed from the start.The jokes in this movie is barely even able to get you to laugh and the story is just awful you can't even take into account what the plot is and at this point I fell to see the point in watching a movie that wasn't even good from the moment you turn it on.The villains are stupid and have never been introduce in the show or comics for Turtles. And Thankfully they never appear again the movie is just a waste of time and shouldn't be allow to be sold in stores this is a disgrace of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and it wouldn't be worth a rental.I give Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 An 1 out of 10

Yeah, it's the worst one in this Ninja Turtles trilogy and it is a bad movie. However it wasn't as super awful a I thought it was going to be. Some of the parts are just plan out stupid though and it seems to go in a certain direction but completely disregards it. And a lot of things just doesn't make any sense. The villains were silly and goofy in the previous installments, but this take it to another level. To the point it actually become really annoying to watch. So this time the turtles comes across a magic scepter that allows the turtles to go back in time to feudal japan. And few samurais in the past to make it to present time. And it become pretty much predictable and straightforward from then on. With the turtles siding with the a group driven by rebellion against a tyrant and his men, including a arms dealer who is basically the main bad guy. And the turtles has 60 hours to do there thing, get the scepter back and make it back to the time period they belong in. The thing is, this seemed more like a live action Ninja Turtles TV show from the 90's over it actually seeming like it's a movie. Even the turtle costume this time looks super plastic looking and appeared to be a left over costumes from Chuck E. Cheese. The previous 2 installments are lame and cheesy, but this one becomes appalling even if it's a kids movie. Like I said, it isn't a super awful movie but the pointless scenes revolving Casey and uber weak character development and interactions equipped with directions and scenarios that doesn't make any sense really hurts this one. Fortunately at least the actress that played April O'Neil is much better than the one in the second installment. Despite most of my review being negative about this movie, the reason I say it's not super awful is because it does have few although very few parts that are decent. However it's a major negative when the audiences can think of ways to make the movie better than the actual writers, probably within the budget as well. And I usually don't make statements like that, because I am not a Monday morning quaterback. But the audiences even have some better ideas. 3/10

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990's trilogy had its up & downs. The first movie in 1990 was alright. The second movie was watchable. The third movie directed by Stuart Gillard, was just not in the same as the others, and felt out of place. Since, the movie kill Shredder from the last movie, the movie needed a new plot. From all the rich plots and villains, they could had chosen like Krang, Rat King, or Baxter Stockman. The movie choice, none of them and instead create a new concept in which the Turtles travel back into time to 1603 feudal Japan. I have to give them some credit for trying to make something new out of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but couldn't they just wait until they run out of the establish concepts that the comics and television have provided for their viewers. The feudal Japan settling is pretty interesting, since not a lot of Americans movies at the time, provide that, and I'm glad, they got a lot of Japanese actors to play the supporting roles. Still, the way, they marched the two concepts into one, is dumb plot. So in the present day, April O'Neil (Paige Turco) been shopping at a flea market, and just happen to upon an ancient Japanese scepter that cause them to travel back into time! First off, what a weak establishment for how the Turtles came to hold of the ancient Japanese scepter. A flea market? It's never establish, how the ancient Japanese scepter even got to a flea market in America. Really bad storytelling here. You would had some treasure hunting fun adventure scenes with this, with the Turtles discovering it when travelling to Japan for their training, or the screenwriters could had a story where the turtles find a hideout of a criminal who stealing ancient artifacts, but no. Instead, April buy the Japanese scepter at some odd-screen flea market, and we don't see the turtles in action, until they travel back into time to rescue April. The movie really lack action scenes. Plus, none of them were anything new. The violent was toned down to the point to fit in the PG rating. Full of childish fighting styles, slow fight cinematography and bad one liners sayings. I really doubt they ever go back to the extremely good fighting scenes of the first movie. There were different fighting scenes shot for different countries. Such in the case of Great Britain, which had a law at the time against the presentation of martial arts weapons especially the Nunchakus. When watching both the American & US version, I can say, there is only a few differs. Most of them are in the opening scene. The movie opens up with them dancing to ZZ top in a goofy matter than fighting, anyways. I don't see the big deal. The build up to the turtles is so badly done. Unlike the previous films, the Jim Henson's Creature Shop did not provide the advanced animatronics and it shows how badly done it was. They look like giant underdeveloped frogs than the Turtles. You can even see the man's face in the costume through its mouth in some scenes. They really do lack the facial emotions of the previous films. I still love how they have the same or similar voice acting that was given to the turtles throughout the films. Since, the movie is PG, there wasn't that much foul language. So, there will no scenes of the turtles saying damn, here. I have to say, most of the turtles jokes were really unfunny due to it being out of context, or making no sense. I think, the most fun, I had in the film is with the Ancient Honor Guards with Casey Jones (Elias Koteas) in the present day. It was funny, seeing them dancing to Baltimora 'Tarzan Boy' and learning how to play Hockey. There is a lot of filler scenes with other characters, that didn't live up the turtles premise such as the Kenshin (Eidan Hanzei) love sub-plot. His acting was bad. The actor that play Walker (Stuart Wilson), the villain was pretty good. He looks a bit like a mixed with William Shatner & Kevin Costner. While, the acting isn't so great, I have to say the cinematography for this movie is pretty damn good. The opening shots of the horseman riding away from the samurais in the red rising sun background was amazing. Great use of locations. It really felt like they were in medieval Japan. The famous Turtle Rhapsody from the Orchestra on the Half Shell from the first two movies seem to be missing from this. Instead, it's plays unnoticeable Japanese folk music. Overall: I wouldn't shell money over to get the movie, but if you're a turtle fan. It's watchable, but just don't come in, hoping it's going to be as good as the cartoon or the previous films because you'll be deeply disappointing. It should tuck its head into its own movie shell in shame.

Maybe it's nostalgia or the Zeitgeist of the TMNT - but to me the movies stay wonderful.In itself, this movie isn't worthwhile. It's a sloppy and quick realization and it shows. Where the first two movies told a story, cover elements of mystery about origins. And more attention to detail, emotion or atmosphere. The third one was just loosely tied and cheesy.For me personally the idea of time-travel could've hit off well - seeing as the Turtles are "trained in the ancient Japanese Ninja Arts". Yet they time-travel and fail to be taken or impressed by the ancient Japan, nor do they "get in touch with the history or essence of their training". They didn't meet the kin of Splinters' mentors, for example. The story about the "demons" isn't fully developed nor explained and seems strange (as the origins / genesis of the Turtles is explained in prior movies.)In all, a classic but don't get your hopes up. It's old-fashioned entertainment.
