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.

- Casey Nash likedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
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.
Cinematic Joshua likedTeenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesA bodacious jaunt with stuntmen in Jim Henson suits masquerading as fighting reptiles.

- Luke Wylie is "meh" onTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
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
Lexo likedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles⭐️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 💜🐢🍕🧪🤘
Pooja likedTeenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesThis is full of nostalgic memories for me and probably the reason why so many of us love pizza. It’s by no means a great movie coming out from the 90’s with rough VFX and mediocre dialogue. But it’s a fun watch if you love TMNT or grew up with this movie.
- ThaDrizzle lovedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
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.
Matt lovedTeenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesIt 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.
Andrikk0s likedTeenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesShredder has his own childcare center. Do the Ninjas know that Donatello’s a turtle and he can’t drown? “Wise man say, Forgiveness is divine but never pay full price for late pizza” “Why don’t I ever dream of Harrison Ford”

JHJoey HubbardI didn’t have a chance to see this in theaters back in 1990, so this was a well deserved chance to see my heroes in a half shell back on the big screen. I loved it.

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.

Chicago Tribune
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.
