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.

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

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

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