Entirely abandoning the little grittiness and atmosphere the first one did have, this embraces the approved-for-kids tone fully. Personality and threat, and thus engagement and excitement, are abandoned in favor of jokes intended for youthful offspring, and not even all being good ones, properly set up ones, or remotely original ones, at that. "Family films" might have less of a bad name if they genuinely tried to offer something, instead of just throw the lowest common denominator at the audience, hoping that they're either of the age where they find it funny without applying any criticism, or the parents of such, paying for the theater ticket regardless of quality. It is possible to create truly good ones, and ones that are still appreciated by the viewer. The real The NeverEnding Story(of '84, I do not acknowledge the others) is a marvelous example. Wouldn't the children want proper adventure? Perhaps even be challenged, at least a little? Would fairy tales have the appeal they did if there were no consequences to people's actions in them? The plot is far-fetched and squeals sequel(it would scream it if it could, but the puns have gagged it). The pacing is uneven. The ending is unsatisfying. The acting is overdone, possibly intentionally. A new main character is introduced, allowing for more of the intolerable "shock at seeing something unbelievable" reaction shots, in case you didn't get enough of that in the one that precedes this, or the countless other movies that have such. The martial arts do have some nice choreography. The effects vary. The DVD holds a wide-screen and full-screen version of this, a theatrical trailer, as well as a reasonable mini-game, called Pick That Flick, where you, from a single frame, have to pinpoint which of the ten titles it is. I recommend this to fans of the Turtles, particularly younger ones, or those who of a mindset that fits with that group, it being at whom this was aimed. 6/10
