    The movie theater was so packed that I had to sit on the stairs of the theater. And it was worth every minute.

    This is a Shell of a good movie. Steve Barron's direction of a brooding, darkly funny New York beseiged by wisecracking bad boy, Shredder, and the even more smart mouthed foursome, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is one of the coolest movies of 1989, and of the decade. Based on the Eastaman and Laird comics, and the cloesest adaptation to them. Spawned a Saturday morning cartoon that in replay and in sequels has lasted to this day. Cowabunga dudes! And what can be more legit than the MC Hammer score and the skateboarding, martial arts weilding foursome? Dude. Thank Jim Henson's crature shop for those marvelous live action puppet suits. Story centers on a string of robberies where hooded teens are swiping stuff for a mysterious purple and black clad figure.

    A staple of my childhood...fun and action packed..but also wonderfully moody and visual for a kids film.

    This remains my absolute favorite comic book movie of all time. My hat's off to the screenwriters, because they managed to combine the best elements of the original comic book series with the best elements of the wildly popular TV show, and blend them together to create what I consider to be the definitive version of the TMNT. Awesome, awesome flick.

    Never saw this back when it first came out and it was really big among boys my age. In a way I appreciate the non-CGI effects, though the flashbacks look sadly funny now. From watching some of the cartoons when I was younger and not having seen Star Wars, in my mind, Splinter was always the better mentor over Yoda. And this movie didn't disappoint in that category. Tatsu's character with all the grunting in this one and the sequel was just plain annoying. And it was lame that Casey Jones only makes one appearance with his hockey stick and mask.

    I saw this before TMNT, but I've forgotten to review this one. Was a long time since I saw this, like 6-8 years ago, so I only rememebr that I loved it.
    Turtles who perform ninja kicks and have swords and stuff and eats pizza, while having a great leader named Splinter. Awesome!

    The only movie where they did it right. Its cool and its got the right turtles doing what they do best. Kicking some shredder ass, even though they were the ones getting their butts kicked by shredder--nevermind just watch it.

    Even though it's old, it's the original. The fantastical ninja moves and quips couldn't be more fun. =)

    My husband watched this movie since he was a kid, and after renting this again, after at least 10 years; it really was a trip back into the 90's. The style of clothing that the humans had, to the catch phrases from the turtles. The turtle suits were and still are great, as the recent TNMT movie was released and couldn't hold a flame to the oldies. Some movies shouldn't be re-made and TNMT are a prime example. Cowabunga, dudes!

    Of all the 3 Turtles movies, this one stands above them all. Unlike the other 2 which are more childish and crappy acting for kids the 1st one's more dark and a much better movie

    This movie was pure gold to me when I was a kid. It's good for a laugh now. When you really think about it, this is a bizarre premise.

    This one and the other two are more of my favorites. The turtles have me laughing at almost every little adventure they encounter while trying to stay hidden from public view. But, when their master is kidnapped...
