I'm adding a new segment to the blog called Movies That Suck. In this segment I will rant about movies that suck. This rant is about the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.
As a kid I loved playing the Ninja Turtles video games, watching the cartoon, and playing with the action figures. I also enjoyed the first two movies. The third movie, however was a major disappointment. It had none of the traditional villains in it. There's no Krane, Bebop, Rock Steady, Shredder, Rat King, or any other villains from the cartoon or video games. The bad guys in the movie are a samurai, whose name I can't pronounce, and Walker, a guy who looks like he belongs in a western.
In this movie the Turtles and April are transported to ancient Japan. That's right, they travel back in time. What a great concept! Like that dead horse hasn't been beaten enough. There are so many movies about time travel its ridiculous. Another problem with TNMT III besides its lack of originality is the turtles themselves. They look uglier than in the first two movies, their lines are a lot cornier, and their jokes are lamer. They say things like: "Help! I'm a turtle, and I can't get up." That has got to be one of the dumbest lines ever. The movie even includes references to The Adams Family, Star Trek, Godzilla, The Three Stooges, Elvis, and MC Hammer.
On Screw Attack's website you can find the Angry Video Game Nerd's review of the movie.

After seeing these movies I have to agree with him.
This movie sucks.
