The unapologetically hokey humor and dialogue and characters have their charms for sheer late-'80s kitsch value.

A movie that displays two traits nobody would ever associate with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: It is grim and it is no fun.

As a movie, Ninja Turtles would make a better cereal. It looks like it needs a little milk and mother-wit poured over it, something to make it snap, crackle and pop.

An excellent adaptation, and a raucous, brutally entertaining action fantasy that embraces the source material lending it valid complexity, and depth.

The results are lively and funny enough to keep adults enthralled as well as kids.

The cynicism of the motion picture industry will be apparent to any child who is exposed to the many product plugs for a nationwide pizza delivery company.

What troubles me about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is that it's basically an exploitation movie aimed at young children.

Ninja Turtles is cluttered and flashy. In terms of plot, there's not much flesh on its bones.

Despite brisk direction by Steve Barron, plus unbridled energy and fine special effects, an overt glorification of violence is still at the crux of this stunt film.

...an uneven, needlessly episodic adaptation that simply isn't able to justify its feature-length running time.

The one subplot that could have been milked, about a young friend of O'Neil's who falls in with the gang, is handled indifferently and fails to supply much in the way of a youthful identification figure.

Elias Koteas scores as a mock-turtle vigilante, and there are some nifty turtle effects from the Henson Creature Shop, but little else hits the target, despite Barron covering the cracks with fast editing.
