The wisecracks have been cut back, and where once the Ninjas' dude-speak was original (influencing, for example, Wayne's World) it's now merely imitative. Full Review |

If the time-travel gimmick has to be employed twice in a row then it's probably best to banish these characters to a retirement sewer. Full Review |

Terrible conclusion of the trilogy. The first two were great comic/cartoon adaptations. But back in time? What the hell is that about?

The novelty was refreshingly spry and creative in its first go-around. But guess what--the butt-kicking shellshockers are running out of excuses to exist in their campy chaos

The Turtles themselves are better-natured than ever, and even nicely mellowed. Full Review |

Two weren't enough???

Achieves a degree of grace, goofiness, and agreeability that can often be lost in the serious drudgery of everyday life. Full Review |

The novelty is starting to wear off by this second sequel

Even kids are likely to respond to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III with less enthusiasm than they did to the first two films in this series. Full Review |

|
If the first sequel was a photocopy of the original, this second sequel is a tracing of a photocopy. It's the same business twice removed, and twice diminished. Full Review |

Look at it this way; it could be worse. Your kids could be hooked on Barney. Full Review |
