TMNT 3

I hereby renew the Movie Blog with a review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.

The movie begins in feudal Japan, about 1600, with a masked man fighting four samurai on horseback. He gets captured, and who will rescue him? Now fastfoward 490 years to the sewers of New York City. April O'Neill is bringing the turtles some things she got from the flea market. She divies out the presents, and happens to give Donnie (the one who wears purple) an ancient japanese lantern. Turns out it transports them back in time to medieval Japan. While there, they end up having to help some poor villagers fight off an evil Japanese warlord who is trying to take over the land. Will they overcome disputes amongst themselves and conquer the villains in time to make it back to Manhattan before the time portal is closed forever? A complex plot filled with peril, romance, sacrifice, and betrayal. Few actors could have pulled off something of this depth, but the turtles have done it again. I give it two thumbs up. The humor is out of this world good, as is the lingo used in it. Perhaps one of the three most influential movies of our generation (bet you can't guess the other two). I think we can all learn a little from Rafael and his sidekicks.
