Audience Member It was a fresh take on classic tmnt movie. I really enjoyed the movie and the cast. I really think the movie is very underrated. I never turst the opinion of others. I don't let them tell me what I like and don't like. Be your own person and judge for yourself. I loved the movie from Star to Finish. But that's one turtle fan to another. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Joey H. Released on March 19th, 1993, this was not only the last live action TMNT film of the 1990s but would also be the last live action TMNT film to hit the silver screen for the next two decades. Directed by Stuart Gillard and with a score composed once again by John Du Prez, this film takes the Heroes in a Half-Shell on a time traveling journey to 17th Century Feudal Japan, 1603, where they have to rescue their good friend April O’Neil who was accidentally sent there by an ancient magical scepter and must also help save a village that is under siege by doing battle with an evil emperor/daimyo known as Lord Norinaga and his cannon and gun toting English henchman named Walker. Unlike the previous two films, the All Effects Company would take over creating the suits and animatronics for the Turtles and Splinter from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Returning actors from the previous films are Paige Turco reprising her role as April O’Neil; Elias Koteas as Casey Jones, who also plays a dual role as an Englishman named Whit in ancient Japan; and also returning are Brian Tochi, Robbie Rist and Corey Feldman as the respective voices of Leonardo, Michelangelo and Donatello, with Tim Kelleher providing the voice of Raphael and James Murray as the voice and performer of Master Splinter. Joining the cast for this film are Sab Shimono as Lord Norinaga, Vivian Wu as the female warrior and village leader Mitsu, and Stuart Wilson as Walker. Many fans have gone on to consider this film as the weakest link in TMNT film lore. Filmed on a budget of $21 million dollars, it would ultimately end up grossing only $54.4 million, the lowest grossing entry in the 1990s trilogy. While the film itself wasn’t a great success, the idea of the Turtles traveling through time to ancient Japan would go on to become a recurring storyline in future TMNT series and other Turtle lore. This was the only entry I personally got to see in theaters as a child and while I do not hate it by any means, it definitely leaves something to be desired. I’d give it a 3.5 rating out of ten.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review Mourning K This movie is ahead of its time and didn't work in the 90's because of that. If this movie came out today I think people would love it. However it's extremely goofy and has bad effects, but it's a good time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/03/25 Full Review Alexander T This series of movies is great, but this is the worst one. The other ones I gave 4.5-5 stars, but this one is not as good. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a good movie but not as good as the others. The plot is really weird, and I like the New York City setting better. If there were a few more fighting scenes I think it’d be better. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Liam D The bottom of the barrel of the TMNT franchise that has; an terrible script, cringy jokes, wooden acting and awful effects Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
