Movie Night: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Review #056: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Cast

Review
This was part of my "Movies in Oregon" series, where I reviewed movies while on vacation at my half brother's house in Beaverton, Oregon. These reviews were originally posted on a site called Star Pirates, and the reviews may have been rushed, so I've fixed this review up a little, in light of the new Turtles film. Enjoy.
This film is admittedly fun to watch with fun action and actually follows a well balanced plot. It's mostly harmless in the sense that it doesn't really have many flaws for a flick that aims fine, and hits excellently. The acting is decent, with some good animatronics and decent voice acting. The characters are charming, and fun to watch interact with one another. The movie has a balance of action and light-hearted fun that works well for a movie like this. This is a good flick that would inspire two sequels (II: Secret of the Ooze and III) that wouldn't be as good as the first.
Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
