This is by far one of worst movie sequels I have EVER seen. Worse than Son of the Mask, Batman & Robin, Blues Brothers 2000, Exorcist II, and Godzilla's Revenge. I wish I could rate this film -10. This movie is THAT bad. This movie makes Plan 9 From Outer Space look like Star Wars, Manos: The Hands of Fate look like The Exorcist, BIRDEMIC look like The Birds, Troll 2 look like Gremlins. This movie makes the works of Ed Wood look like those of Spielberg.Where or where do I start with this movie's problems? Well first of all, lets start with the writing, shall we? The dialogue is total garbage and the jokes (oh dear God, the jokes) are some of the most cringy attempts at humor that I have ever seen. If you watch this movie, wear a neck brace to avoid snapping your neck from all the cringing you'll be doing. Pauly Shore, Freidberg and Seltzer, Jamie Kennedy, and Ed Wood all together could've made a better "comedy" than this.Also with writing, out of all the possible movie ideas and Ninja Turtles characters available, they chose to have the Turtles sent back in time to ancient Japan. No Ninja Turtles villains appear. Just some jackass on a horse and some guy obsessed with his pet bird. The person or people who wrote this script and the studio exec who signed off on it to be made into a film should really think about wrapping their lips around a shotgun and eating a buckshot sandwich.Yet another problem is the puppets and animatronics. The Turtles look like they were made for a children's TV show, not the third instalment in a successful movie series based off a cartoon. Splinter's puppet looks like they just threw him together and since you never see his lower body, I assume they didn't even finish him.Overall, this movie should NOT have been released into theaters. With the low-quality puppets and animatronics, lousy writing, stupid stupid STUPID jokes and the tons of wasted potential, this movie should have been a direct-to-DVD release, not released in theaters.If you see a copy of this movie for sale on DVD or VHS, buy it. Not to watch it, to destroy it. This movie is a disgrace to the name Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I could film a road-killed rabbit and it would be a better film than this. How on Earth this film didn't win every award at the 1993 Razzie Awards is beyond me.I wish I did have a time machine so I could get last 1 hour and 36 minutes of my life back.

This is not a bad movie. This is a good movie. People do not like because it is a sequel. Teenage mutant ninja turtles (1990) is better. That is true. Teenage mutant ninja turtles II is better. That is also true. The cartoon show from the 80's and 90's is also better. Teenage mutant ninja turtles (2014) is also better. But 4.8 is just underrating this movie. Do not skip it. It is a great movie. All the Teenage mutant ninja turtles movie are great movie. OK is would have been better if Shredder had been in it. But that did not make it a terrible movie. This is one of the best action movies from 1993. This is a great movie. Do not lesson to the people whining about it. See it.

Despite the negative critical reception of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES II: THE SECRET OF THE OOZE, the film was still a financial success and another TMNT film was announced, but this would be the last film to be released by New Line Cinema.The film was titled TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES III or TMNT III or TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES III: TURTLES IN TIME.The plot revolves around the "Sacred Sands of Time", a mystical scepter which transports the Turtles back in time to feudal Japan, where they become embroiled in a conflict between a daimyo and a group of rebellious villagers.The plot of this movie just drives me crazy a little bit, but the story is a little bit incoherent in a few areas, but it can also get really amazing and this movie should have gotten more praise and acclaim that the first film did and I really don't know why people hate this movie.The turtles look stupid as hell in this film and the visuals are impressive, and part of the reason why I think the turtles look as bad as they do is because and they are just fantastic and simply amazing.The music is composed by John Du Prez and it is spectacular. The visuals and designs of this film is just amazing and really cool and spectacular.The acting is okay and that, along with the music is what keeps me from hating this movie in the worst way I can possibly can. Corey Feldman and the original TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES cast returns to do their voices of their respective turtles and it sounds amazing.Paige Turco plays the role of April O'Neill and she does a great job once again. Elias Koteas plays the role of Casey Jones once again and he does a great job once again and he is just incredible this time, especially after being absent from the second film.After this film, another film was in development for a release in 1997 titled "TMNT: The Next Mutation", the film would introduced new turtles, but this project was cancelled after trying to get it made.So, in 2007, both Warner Bros. Pictures and The Weinstein Company teamed up to bring us the 100% computed generated imagery version of the four heroes, simply titled TMNT.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990's trilogy had its up & downs. The first movie in 1990 was alright. The second movie was watchable. The third movie directed by Stuart Gillard, was just not in the same as the others, and felt out of place. Since, the movie kill Shredder from the last movie, the movie needed a new plot. From all the rich plots and villains, they could had chosen like Krang, Rat King, or Baxter Stockman. The movie choice, none of them and instead create a new concept in which the Turtles travel back into time to 1603 feudal Japan. I have to give them some credit for trying to make something new out of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but couldn't they just wait until they run out of the establish concepts that the comics and television have provided for their viewers. The feudal Japan settling is pretty interesting, since not a lot of Americans movies at the time, provide that, and I'm glad, they got a lot of Japanese actors to play the supporting roles. Still, the way, they marched the two concepts into one, is dumb plot. So in the present day, April O'Neil (Paige Turco) been shopping at a flea market, and just happen to upon an ancient Japanese scepter that cause them to travel back into time! First off, what a weak establishment for how the Turtles came to hold of the ancient Japanese scepter. A flea market? It's never establish, how the ancient Japanese scepter even got to a flea market in America. Really bad storytelling here. You would had some treasure hunting fun adventure scenes with this, with the Turtles discovering it when travelling to Japan for their training, or the screenwriters could had a story where the turtles find a hideout of a criminal who stealing ancient artifacts, but no. Instead, April buy the Japanese scepter at some odd-screen flea market, and we don't see the turtles in action, until they travel back into time to rescue April. The movie really lack action scenes. Plus, none of them were anything new. The violent was toned down to the point to fit in the PG rating. Full of childish fighting styles, slow fight cinematography and bad one liners sayings. I really doubt they ever go back to the extremely good fighting scenes of the first movie. There were different fighting scenes shot for different countries. Such in the case of Great Britain, which had a law at the time against the presentation of martial arts weapons especially the Nunchakus. When watching both the American & US version, I can say, there is only a few differs. Most of them are in the opening scene. The movie opens up with them dancing to ZZ top in a goofy matter than fighting, anyways. I don't see the big deal. The build up to the turtles is so badly done. Unlike the previous films, the Jim Henson's Creature Shop did not provide the advanced animatronics and it shows how badly done it was. They look like giant underdeveloped frogs than the Turtles. You can even see the man's face in the costume through its mouth in some scenes. They really do lack the facial emotions of the previous films. I still love how they have the same or similar voice acting that was given to the turtles throughout the films. Since, the movie is PG, there wasn't that much foul language. So, there will no scenes of the turtles saying damn, here. I have to say, most of the turtles jokes were really unfunny due to it being out of context, or making no sense. I think, the most fun, I had in the film is with the Ancient Honor Guards with Casey Jones (Elias Koteas) in the present day. It was funny, seeing them dancing to Baltimora 'Tarzan Boy' and learning how to play Hockey. There is a lot of filler scenes with other characters, that didn't live up the turtles premise such as the Kenshin (Eidan Hanzei) love sub-plot. His acting was bad. The actor that play Walker (Stuart Wilson), the villain was pretty good. He looks a bit like a mixed with William Shatner & Kevin Costner. While, the acting isn't so great, I have to say the cinematography for this movie is pretty damn good. The opening shots of the horseman riding away from the samurais in the red rising sun background was amazing. Great use of locations. It really felt like they were in medieval Japan. The famous Turtle Rhapsody from the Orchestra on the Half Shell from the first two movies seem to be missing from this. Instead, it's plays unnoticeable Japanese folk music. Overall: I wouldn't shell money over to get the movie, but if you're a turtle fan. It's watchable, but just don't come in, hoping it's going to be as good as the cartoon or the previous films because you'll be deeply disappointing. It should tuck its head into its own movie shell in shame.
