Movie Reviews of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III
Movie Review: Well Done!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 23 years old and have been a fan of the Ninja Turtles since I watched the first episode on Saturday mornings when I was 8 or so. I recently purchased the first two movies because I knew I loved them, but for the life of me I could not remember much about the third one. I rented it today because I had read all of these reviews saying that the third movie was terrible and I did not wish to buy it if I was going to hate it.
My first impression as the movie began was that whoever designed the faces for the turtles, as well as splinter's puppet needed some help. As mentioned several times on this site, the costumes could have used quite a bit of work. It looked a little too Jim Henson (though I love the man).
However, after only a few moments I realized that I was laughing and enjoying myself just like I did when I was a kid watching the old show. Within the first 30 minutes I realized that I liked this movie almost more than the first one. Not only did this movie have cool visuals and great japanese costumes, but this one actually had a well developed plot. I liked the new villian and thought the actor who played him did a rather good job. His personality was different from Shredder's and gave something new to the Turtle trilogy. He was even funny at times. This movie expaneded on the turtle's personalities and allowed you to get to know them better. I don't know why people complained about the characters not acting like themselves because they acted like they should as far as I am concerned.
Concerning the plot involving time travel; I enjoyed it. Its fantasy after all. The turtles are mutants, and in the first movie the turtles make some sort of phsychic connection with Splinter. The cartoon itself was filled with Sci-Fi elements if anyone cares to look. I don't think that time travel was too far fetched by any means. It also presents something new and exciting for the Turtles. This film expaned the world of the turtles beyond the sewers and New York city.
I think that one should take this movie for what it is and not concern yourself with what it is not. If you want dark and gritty, then watch Batman or the X-Men. You cannot take yourself too seriously when you are watching a movie about walking, talking, fighting mutant turtles. I loved the Turtles because not only were they heroes, but they were funny. To me, this movie had that sense of joy that the old cartoons had, and I believe this movie was well written and well done, despite the obvious flaws in the puppets and the ending being a little weak.
