Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

reddragonhero17 I briefly fell in love with this show when it was around in my time of the late 80's and early 90's. Unfortunately, now that I'm an adult, I'm not too thrilled with what I see of it now. The storyline is practically nonexistent, the action is mindless (not to mention a mockery of true ninjistsu principles), the dialogue is juvenile, and the imagination is deliberately bankrupt. I didn't like how the turtles did some questionable behavior, and get rewarded for it by living on a diet of junk food, which is not only unutritious, but reveals one's own character as well in a negative way. Speaking of which I initially thought the turtles' lifestyle was the coolest thing since sliced bread, but now that I'm older I realize it's equivalent to living a near purposeless life of eating junk food, loafing around, not helping the world's problems, and engaging in fights for the thrill of it. In true ninjitsu, you respect your opponent, the turtles don't, they humiliate their opponents. While there is a small charm about the turtles that even I can't resist with their (small) personalities, I can't really consider these turtles to be genuine role models. The reason I gave the first live action movie a positive review was because the good message wasn't overshadowed by mindless action. The next animated series after this one did a far better job.

anaahnu The Technodrome - a dreadful war machine - poses out on a hill covered with creepy Stone Soldiers. The evil Shredder (so much alike to some medieval knight, only much more imposing because of all those his spikes, hooks and blades...) The Foot warriors (they were called 'robots' in the film, but I rather took them for zombies). And - a horrifying, yet fascinating sight: four Turtle embryos flying through the dark skies inside a great pale beam... (Really, I was disappointed to know that their story in the series differed from that in the opening. A mutagen. How simple. How disapproving. Blah...)A young, high-spirited, soft (like most anime heroines), very beautiful, sometimes trying to be brave, always cheerful and hilarious... Well, what I'm telling you about? April is April! Vernon is also Vernon, by the way (I know there was Casey in the comics, but comics were really for adults. The TMNT in the comic book looked scary, like punks, only bigger and 'monstrier'. O'Neil was just an ordinary girl, more or less. And there was no Vern, so charming in his cowardice...) Yeah, I love the comics. I really appreciate them, because THAT is the origin of all the Turtle variations. And I'm a huge fan of the 2003 series; only this all does not matter when we speak about the long lost loves and attractions of our half-forgotten childish age.The green band will always be on the march. I mean, the green band on the 80th. True to each other, all-conquering. Simple, but honest. Hilarious, but heroic. Handsome Good vs. ugly Evil. (And yes, Krang is the most cthoolhy Dark Lord ever!)

Atreyu_II I loved this show when I was a child! I was such a fan of it back then that I wouldn't miss one episode of it. Plus, I collected stuff from it. For example, as a kid I once bought a mug with the famous hero turtles. And there was one year when I disguised myself as one of the turtles in Carnival. Not to mention that not only I watched this in my house, but also in the house of a neighbor and friend of mine at the time.This animated TV show brings me very good memories from childhood. Ah, the good old days...The opening song is spectacular, absolutely unforgettable - as well as its instrumental version which plays during the final credits of each episode.'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' had most ingredients necessary to capture the attention of most kids of my generation, for it was thrilling, entertaining, packed with action, adventure, darkness, classic humor and... pizza! The turtles are the heroes, they are the ones with the power to save the world from the evil Shredder's schemes and the bizarre Krang. Shredder has two helpers, Bebop and Rocksteady (hilarious names!). But they aren't really evil. They're more stupid and incompetent than evil, so they aren't a major threat for the turtles and the world.A curious thing is that Shredder has always half of his face covered with an iron mask. I only saw him once without it and my opinion was that he was very Japanese-looking.Although the turtles (Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello and Leonardo) are very efficient and intelligent, sometimes they see themselves in sticky situations with the villain Shredder. But they always can count with the help of Master Splinter and reporter April O'Neil.Cowabunga!

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews I remember watching this as often as I could when I was younger. When I was 11-12 years old I would get up early enough in the morning to watch it before I left for school... but I was interested in the show from as far back as I can remember. I collected the action figures(not dolls, no; boys play with action figures... girls play with dolls) from a young age, as well as comics, and I even own two VHS tapes with two episodes each(unfortunately, these were dubbed, as most filmed entertainment geared towards kids are, in Denmark). I write this review right after having watched all four episodes in immediate succession for the first time in more years than I can say for sure. Possibly as much as a full decade. All the fun of them came right back to me even as I thought of them. Sure, the show had its flaws... there are glaring continuity errors aplenty, the dialog(packed with more or less lucky one-liners) and plot lines are often somewhat daft... but when you look at the plus side(as well as keep in mind that this is still a children's show), it's just no contest. The pacing is excellent. Having just watched an hour and a half of it, straight, I can say that I wasn't bored at all, in spite of remembering most of what would happen. The action is exciting, intense and downright cool. And the theme music(which I found myself humming in anticipation before the tape was in the VCR)... I doubt there is or will be anyone, whether kid or adult(who is at least a little in touch with their inner child), especially male, who don't like it. The plots are often simplistic, but as far as I remember, never (too) obvious and usually entertaining as well as gripping. It mostly manages to dodge the Batman-esquire/James Bond-ian cliché of having Donatello produce some gadget from his belt to solve their problems. The humor is silly and somewhat childish, but it fits its audience quite well(and I can't claim that I didn't laugh several times throughout watching the four episodes). The whole level of writing basically does, really. The fights are well-choreographed and fairly frequent. All in all, a pretty solid show, that provides many hours of check-your-brains-at-the-door entertainment. I recommend it to any fan of the four green humanoid heroes, and anyone aspiring to become such a fan. Turtle Power! 8/10
