This Ninja Turtles tale is less violent and more scenic than its predecessors, since it gets the title characters out of the sewer and transports them back to feudal Japan.
The movie takes an excessively long time to cover short narrative ground, and the plot is muddled enough to confuse the target audience. [24 Mar 1993, p.E5]

Что же, сменить сеттинг после 2-й части было правильным решением, древняя Япония — то, что надо для черепах. Так еще и 1603 г., но вот что-то не помню, чтоб тогда англичане были, вот португальцы — слышал. Тема взаимодействия европейцев с японцами мне нравится. Путешествия во времени тоже, даже неплохой момент был с применением знания, которое спасло жизнь, а европейцы того времени продавали смерть, м-да. Даже с юмором тут получше, как по мне, 2 года не прошли зря. Тема с культурным обменом та же, забавная. Боевые приемы вернулись, так как феодальная Япония, там без этого никуда.Смотрел в озвучке: «20-й век Фокс».

When I was a kid this used to be my favorite movie in the trilogy but now after rewatching it I'm just wondering wtf was wrong with me this movie is definitely the worst in the entire trilogy and feels like it was meant to be a different movie but was forced into a TMNT movie for some reason

This may be the easiest installment in the series for parents to sit through.
These fun-loving mutants meet life on their own terms, they are heroes despite themselves. Their appeal is apparently strong enough to overcome any potential disturbance regarding plot disjointedness, pseudo-scientific reasoning and historical inaccuracy.
This third--and, at $30 million, most expensive--go-around gamely attempts to jump-start the viewer's interest with the canny switch of locations (and centuries), but the new recipe can't change the fact that this Turtle soup has grown cold.
If the first sequel was a photocopy of the original, this second sequel is a tracing of a photocopy. It's the same business twice removed, and twice diminished.
The music is overbearing, the camera and lighting too bright and obvious, and the production design borders on the cheesy. Performances range from competent to just plain embarrassing.
TMNT 3 is where we start to lose the plot. Turtles in Time was a very popular video game, so the idea being slightly translated could have been good for a film, except that it ignores the plot of the game, and the actual show. The other weakness is losing Jim Henson's creatures, who created the Turtles and Splinter for the first two films. The animatronics and bodysuits are cringe worthy.

Another case where good ideas were used to make a boring movie. The idea was most likely inspired by the successful videogame Turtles in Time. This idea has potential imagine the possibilities for the Turtles to interact with historic figures. Also the Sengoku period of Japan is an excellent choices. Remember the legendary Samurai, Ninjas and conflicts they could use for this. However the reality is much less exciting. The main weaknesses are that the plot takes too long to start, the villains are not intimidating or even boring and the overall story never reaches a level that took my interest. Even after watching it multiple times I cant remember an awesome scene. But it is not only that. The humor is also weaker and the acting is mediocre but not that bad or awful. I think the film was in development hell or conflicting ideas (visions) were clashing and ruined the movie. The fight scenes and effects are acceptable. Overall not worth watching but not terrible enough to regret it. Unremarkable would be a fitting description.

A blatantly bad film. The plot/script is almost non-existent and loosely follows the Turtles through time while they try to save April O'Neil. There are a few scenes that are funny, but largely the script writers had no idea what they were doing.

I have a strong feeling that someone in the production team wanted to make a completely different movie, and it shows. It has a very different atmosphere compared to the other two Ninja Turtles films, and resembles one of the (bad) episodes of the original animated series. While all the good-side characters were there, their performance was mediocre, and it all felt like a silly joke. None of the antagonists manage to portray a sense of threat like The Shredder did, and did we really need another Hollywood film that insists on using the British as the bad guys?
There are so many silly jokes that some of them land, but in the end, I couldn't even bear to watch it to the end. The 2003 animated TV series is far superior to this entire sad production.
