Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Movie (DVD)

It seems odd to remember Ninja Turtle mania, but I was certainly part of it, and this film did a lot of cash at the box office from people just like me! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Movie, is about four humanoid turtles who live in the sewer. Trained in martial arts by a huge rat, they battle against the evil shredder. Deary me, that sounds like an acid trip gone wrong, but in reality this is a great kid's film about good vs evil. This film works as a kid's action film, and the plot is fast paced, inventive and high energy as it should be. The best thing about the film is the way the Turtles are so likable - they all have fun personalities, ...  Read the complete review

I've always loved the Turtles and I was long overdue to watch this movie again. I'm 23 now and I still use my Turtles mug all the time. Infact to be honest, I'm probably more of a Turtles fan now than I was then (sad I know). I didn't remember much from the film and seeing it again was great. It has dated a lot though, unlike other films from around the same time and the special effects are starting to look slightly less special. But I'm a forgiving sort and the flaws didn't really bother me. The whole idea of four turtles being transformed into turtle men and being trained by a rat man in the ways of Ninjitsu is utter bonkers and the whole thing is brilliant fun.
