Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed While it's not a definitive history, it's still a thorough and entertaining look at the history of the heroes in a half shell and how they became icons. Jan 23, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Michael W This pop culture documentary was very good. Peter Laird, Kevin Eastman, and the entire crew did a spectacular job on making this documentary about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It gives the viewers an insight of how they were created and what fans didn't know about the Turtles. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, check it out sometime. I'm a huge fan of the Turtles and loved this documentary. If you're not a huge fan you'll still enjoy it anyway. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Audience Member A bit of an underwhelming documentary to be honest. It's nice seeing how what started as a parody of Frank Miller comics became a cultural phenomenon and the people interviewed do go into a ton of detail on the comics, 1987 cartoon, merchandising and 1990 film but it's upsetting that the Definitive History didn't bring up the Ninja Turtles' other adventures post-1990 and never kept my attention as much as other nerd-friendly documentaries seemed to. At least it wasn't a glorified commercial for the Michael Bay-produced reboot film despite the timing. Still bummed we didn't get a third film with those mini-Hulks. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member It was refreshing to see how the heroes in a half-shell came to be. And I can say this as a total fan of the series. If you are too, you should watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member What a great time down memory lane, especially if you never knew how the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles got started. This is a must watch documentary that's filled with insight and information about our heroes in a half shell. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member a great and very detailed documentary about the creation and evolution of the ninja turtles,if you are a devoted fan,you need to watch this.
