You can chalk it up to good timing and a heavy dose of video-game synergy, but this 1990 hit remains the box-office champ of independent films, with a total gross of $135 million. Of course the Turtles began as a phenomenally successful Nintendo video game, so it was a given that the movie would be a hit with its target audience of rabid young video addicts. This is what comic books fans call 'the origin story,' in which we learn how a foursome of small turtles were mutated by a green radioactive goo and turned into human-sized turtle crime fighters. Their large rodent mentor, Splinter, teaches them to master the martial arts. They're also gifted pop musicians, by the way (think of them as amphibious Spice Guys), so they can rock the house while they're cracking a crime wave with the help of their cute friend and television reporter April O'Neil (Judith Hoag). The script is terrible, of course, but countless millions of children don't seem to care, as long as the Turtles keep ordering pizza and dispensing their wisecracking brand of justice. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Needs Special Edition!!!! Not a re-release!!
This movies gets a 5/5, but not the dvd. Recently Steve Barron (director) offered materials for a special edition, but Warner bros wasn't interested! It's almost the 25th anniversary of TMNT and because they're "not interested" they re-release the same old garabage in a 25th anniversary packaging! If anyone cares about this movie join me and stop buying warner bros dvds!!!!

Rating: - I liked it when it was on VHS and i'm buying the DVD three-pack as soon as I can.
I'll admit that I was at first only a reluctant fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons back in the late 80's and early 90's, if for no other reason than I was pretty much forced to watch it by the simple fact that my brother and sister both watched it while they babysat me. But as time got on I did grow to genuinely enjoy the series. I mean, who can watch the show and not laugh at the bumbling antics of Shredder and his goons as they try to gain the advantage against the turtles? So when ... Read More
Rating:  - a LEGENDARY classic
This movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, should go down in history as one of the truly grandest achievements in this epoch of human civilization. This is about as close to perfection as can be reached when telling a story about turtles.
Wanna know how to make a movie? THIS is how you make a movie. Specifically a movie of the comic book/superhero genre. Let me explain exactly why this works, and exactly why the following movies in this genre fails.

Rating: - TMNT: Reality with talking turtles, who knew?
TMNT really delivers on all fronts, good story, great acting, great directing and amazing action from guys in animatronic rubber suits.
This movie is a perfect blend of the dark atmosphere of the original comics and the zany fun of the cartoon series, all the while maintaining a feeling of reality which takes it to the next level.
The voice characterizations are right on and the acting from April and Casey Jones gives the validity to the story that it was really in need of. ... Read More
