Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times A lively, good-looking kiddie action comedy best left to those under 10. Jun 16, 2014 Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune A miserable ripoff of The Karate Kid. Rated: 1/4 Jun 16, 2014 Full Review David Hepworth Empire Magazine Brazenly exploitative stuff, stirring in anything which has done the business in kids' movies previously, this, of course, should have its target audience laughing like drains. Rated: 2/5 Jun 16, 2014 Full Review Christie Cronan Common Sense Media The dated '90s phrases and bad stunts stick out like a sore ninja kick to the head. But is it still a foundational part of '90s kid entertainment history? Absolutely. Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed For the most part it works well as a movie that is funny, fun, and fairly painless. Apr 22, 2017 Full Review Stephen Hunter Baltimore Sun 3 Ninjas isn't a movie, it's a concept for a preview. Rated: 2/4 Jun 16, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Ryan L As a kid I must have watched this 100 times. Action, likable characters and a very simple plot that a 4 year can understand. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review EllaJo r I can't believe this has a low rating every little boy I watch this with loves it. My 7 year old is laughing so hard. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Devlin E There should have been 0 ninjas. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 24 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/23 Full Review Spencer S The most hilarious part of these reviews, especially the "professional" ones is that we are talking about a product that is targeted at pre pubescent boys like they are going to come and consider your advice before seeing the movie and enjoying it. I would love to see them review toys with the seriousness they take their reviews of this movie. Doing the laser and car noises and everything, then delivering a dead pan review. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review Audience Member LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 24 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
