Oh dear, if you’re diabetic then I would seriously advise against watching this film. It’ so sugary it’ll rot the brain right out of your head.
Why on earth Eastman and Laird allowed this to be made is beyond me. It’s soooooooo far removed from their black and white comic book. Okay, I know the cartoon series was too but the first movie did have a hard edge to it. I mean, take a look at the cover-the Turtles are smiling and happy. Then look a cover of one of the original comic books. They’re almost always gritting their teeth and frowning. THAT’S how it should be. Not like this.
Even the animatronics look fake. The first 2 had a rather believeable Splinter but now he’s juddering and stiff and obviously operated by a couple of technicians loitering a few feet off camera. His voice is also totally different and he seems a touch more upbeat and lively. HARDLY the way Splinter is supposed to be.
The plot itself defies logic and there are massive holes all over the place. With such a dramatic change in locale from New York to Fuedal Japan you’d think the movie would take advantage of that and go nuts with imagination.
But sadly not. It just…goes nowhere. I mean, what is the deal with the character of Whit. Why does he look like the great, great, great grandfather of Casey Jones.
In fact, the return of Casey is the only reason I am not giving this a 1-star rating. It’s a pretty wretched movie but Elias Koteas can make it a tiny bit less unbearable.
Hopefully the new cartoon show and the possibilty of another (harder) movie will cancel this one out. It’s nothing but dated, mindless fodder for under-fives. At the risk of repeating myself; this is NOT how the Turtles shoud be.
Extras are almost non-existant but the animated menus are cool. The 1.85:1 anamorphic picture is in pretty good shape but the Dolby 5.1 track isn’t up to much I’m afraid. The film was orginally recorded in Dolby SR so this is obviously a remastering job. It’s just adequate is all I’m saying.

This one is my second favorite mostly because it was a lot like the cartoon we know and love today. The first one was really dark, wich gave the Turtles a realy scary feeling. The second one was a little less darker and made the Turtles less scary (probabley because compared to Tokka, Rozarr, and Super Shredder, they looked like teddy bears). This one gives us the friendly turtles we fell in love with in the cartoon show. Plus, in the final battle with Walker, the Turtles have this erie green glow, which really tells you what the Turtles realy are!
