Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)

I remember seeing this movie several times before, and I seem to enjoy it for some strange reason. I think it's a fitting end to the trilogy. Yes, it's not a great movie, but I don't think that was its purpose. Part III shouldn't be taken too seriously as it seems to gracefully end the series in a good note. I found part III more enjoyable than part II, but that's just my view. What I did like about part III was that it took a different approach - totally!! the story or plot was completely different compared to the first two movies, and I don't think it has connections to the other movies either. It actually would've been great, though, had the two sequels not been made as the first movie was simply a cult classic!!! The first movie along with the anime series were amazing. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was fabulous back then; in fact, it was so fabulous that I got obsessed with having Pizza whilst watching the turtles in action. I have to thank the turtles for my love in pizza. If you are a fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, you would enjoy watching it otherwise you won't. I think it's a good movie to end the series.

This is by far one of worst movie sequels I have EVER seen. Worse than Son of the Mask, Batman & Robin, Blues Brothers 2000, Exorcist II, and Godzilla's Revenge. I wish I could rate this film -10. This movie is THAT bad. This movie makes Plan 9 From Outer Space look like Star Wars, Manos: The Hands of Fate look like The Exorcist, BIRDEMIC look like The Birds, Troll 2 look like Gremlins. This movie makes the works of Ed Wood look like those of Spielberg.Where or where do I start with this movie's problems? Well first of all, lets start with the writing, shall we? The dialogue is total garbage and the jokes (oh dear God, the jokes) are some of the most cringy attempts at humor that I have ever seen. If you watch this movie, wear a neck brace to avoid snapping your neck from all the cringing you'll be doing. Pauly Shore, Freidberg and Seltzer, Jamie Kennedy, and Ed Wood all together could've made a better "comedy" than this.Also with writing, out of all the possible movie ideas and Ninja Turtles characters available, they chose to have the Turtles sent back in time to ancient Japan. No Ninja Turtles villains appear. Just some jackass on a horse and some guy obsessed with his pet bird. The person or people who wrote this script and the studio exec who signed off on it to be made into a film should really think about wrapping their lips around a shotgun and eating a buckshot sandwich.Yet another problem is the puppets and animatronics. The Turtles look like they were made for a children's TV show, not the third instalment in a successful movie series based off a cartoon. Splinter's puppet looks like they just threw him together and since you never see his lower body, I assume they didn't even finish him.Overall, this movie should NOT have been released into theaters. With the low-quality puppets and animatronics, lousy writing, stupid stupid STUPID jokes and the tons of wasted potential, this movie should have been a direct-to-DVD release, not released in theaters.If you see a copy of this movie for sale on DVD or VHS, buy it. Not to watch it, to destroy it. This movie is a disgrace to the name Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I could film a road-killed rabbit and it would be a better film than this. How on Earth this film didn't win every award at the 1993 Razzie Awards is beyond me.I wish I did have a time machine so I could get last 1 hour and 36 minutes of my life back.

This is an OK sequel to the first Ninja Turtle movies, but not as good as the first two though. The plot kind of didn't make sense and most stuff in this movie was fake. One part in this movie that really didn't make any sense was that Splinter could sense danger through time. How could Splinter even do that? Also that kid that Michelangelo saved from that burning house in 17th century Japan, his name was Yoshi as in Hamato Yoshi, Splinters master who we saw in the flash back of the first Ninja Turtles movie. They never explained it in this movie though cause the turtles didn't even mention anything about the boy to Splinter. Also what's with Michelangelo having a love interest in this Japanese woman when he had a crush on April O Neal in the first two movies? Also I could've sworn that that Samurai warrior who was sent into the present that that woman was his sister, but I'm wrong about that part. He was actually in love with her. Also I could've sworn that Anthony Hopkins was the main villain in this movie, but it's just some other actor who kind of looks like him and Anthony Hopkins played the infamous Hannibal Lecter. Also for the villains demise we see him fall down to a watery grave and the splash effect in that scene was totally fake cause we didn't actually see himself go into the water. We just see him disappear like magic with the sound of a splash. Also what's with the time traveling thing and the whole mythology thing about the turtles being demons or gods being there to fight an army long ago? That also doesn't make any sense cause the turtles were just house pets once and then turned into teenage mutant ninjas after crawling through a radioactive ooze. This movie sort of has a kick to the first two movies but not as good as the other 2 though. OK but not that good.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III is a great kids Title. If the other two movies were dark than this one was most certainly light and I am glad. If they were to change the Turtles movies they would have done it in Secret Of The Ooze. That Title all be it an entertaining watch was still dark like the epic original movie.I cannot be unbiased when it comes to the Turtles movies. I grew up watching it and I loved seeing the departure of the Turtles from the traditional gritty feel of the other two. To have the Turtles out in the open, seeing a less aggressive Raphael. Having Michaelangelo going missing instead was a nice change.This movie also did a lot more with Leonardo, Donatello, Casey Jones, April O' Neill and Splinter. The absence of a strong Villain meant they story could focus on the Turtles. The enemies were forgettable but you watch the movie to see Turtles in a half shell taking on a bunch of Feudal warriors.
