Jay CheelOct 2, 2020Not sure what blew my mind more: -Sam Rockwell’s tiny role as a gang member who say with total sincerity “We have a loyalty to the Shredder! We’re family!” -Kevin Clash (AKA the creator of Elmo) was the puppeteer AND voice for Splinter. -The fact that this is…

Kevin Tarazi.Aug 17, 2023Holds up 33 years later— both as a solid action comedy but also as this relic of the 90s. I recognize “relic” sounds dramatic (certainly people in their 30s are not relics) but I think the turtles are more representative of how quickly the science of motion pictures has…

I saw this in theatres when I was seven. I've wanted to be a ninja ever since.
GroovemanOct 2, 2021my boyfriend just wanted to watch this to show off that he knows every single line of Raphael because he’s so proud he was named after him so 5 stARS JUST FOR THAT
Meli🦔🥁🎧Aug 20, 2021If you took out the goofy sound effects and ADRed jokes, you would have a movie on par with The Warriors, and whose dark, grimy vision of New York owes far more to films like Nighthawks and The Taking of Pelham 123 than it does the Turtles cartoon that this was clearly…

The plot to this movie is absolute madness. An underground yakuza is recruiting teenagers to cause mischief all over New York, also they teach them martial arts. The TMNT have to team up with a news anchor to defeat them. Truly the 90s 🔥 i was looking for.
A bodacious jaunt with stuntmen in Jim Henson suits masquerading as fighting reptiles.

While I love tmnt with my entire heart, it was kinda hard to keep myself engaged with the story with all of the action and somewhat corny writing. However that being said there’s definitely good fight choreography and there are some jokes that land well. A solid adaptation. 6/10
⭐️6.5/10⭐️ of course it’s mad corny, look at when it was made. it’s still iconic & nostalgic. the baby turtles saying “radical” & “pizza” is the most precious thing ever 🥹 Splinter must be protected at all costs. love all the turtles, but Donnie is my dude 💜🐢🍕🧪🤘

An absolute classic. Turtle suits look great, fighting choreography is fantastic, atmosphere is pristine. And I always wanted to go to the foot hideout. Overall possibly the best it could’ve gone when adapting the story to live action.
It didn't hold up quite as well as I remembered from my childhood, but it's definitely a fun movie. It's a little darker than the popular TV series at the time, but that was paying homage to the original comics. Worth a watch.

Metacritic
The only thing this film has going for it is its improbable title and title song about four fighting turtles changed into upright, man-size creatures by exposure to radioactive wastes.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles never rises above its marketing-hook origins. It's a product, a commodity, a toy tie-in, a trailer for the comics, an advertisement for the cereal. It's a naked sell.
