The famous mutant turtles make it live-action to the big screen. The turtles, visually stunning Henson puppets, are the best part of this film that only has an appeal toward preteens. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were extremely popular when this film was released, but not anymore. This film offers nothing besides memories of this passed fad; the idea of mutant turtles are just too unbelievable! What makes it even worse is that the supporting cast is terrible along with much of the script. The film is entertaining in a way, but it never rises above the level of ridiculous.
