Little kids will love this, anyone else won't be able to stand it!, 16 August 2007
3/10
Author: Tommy Nelson from Long Beach, California

The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a film that was meant for kids, but had enough to keep adults mildly entertained. Unfortunately this film was dumbed down a notch and is almost unwatchable for anyone over 10. All the dialog is very forced and corny, and the action scenes are really poorly done. The plot for this turtles outing is the Shredder is back and has discovered what made the turtles into mutants...a green ooze. He tries to create super-villains to beat the turtles. Meanwhile the turtles find out about the ooze, eat pizza and make friends with an annoying pizza man named Keno. The only real positives on the film are the costumes for the turtles and their master Splinter the rat. Their mouths move very well and they look eerily like living creatures. Other than that, everything else, including the action is like something out of a bad sit-com. However, as said before, kids will love it, and this is who it's aimed for.

My rating: * 1/2 out of ****. 84 mins. PG for violence.
