6/10
This is the worst of the trilogy but still worth a watch

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993) is a movie that I recently rewatched on Netflix. The storyline follows the Ninja Turtles friend, April, discovering an artifact that gets her sucked back into the 17th century Japan. The Turtles follow her into history hoping to rescue her and bring her back to current times.

This movie is directed by Stuart Gillard (Charmed) and stars Elias Koteas (The Prophecy), Paige Turco (Invincible), Sab Shimono (The Shadow), Corey Feldman (The Lost Boys), John Aylward (Armageddon) and Vivian Wu (The Last Emperor).

The storyline for this is atrocious but in line with the "Turtles in Time" video game that was big at the time. The choice of Corey Feldman as a turtle voice was awesome and always made me smile. The costumes and dialogue between turtles were perfect and really captured the imagination. The fight choreography and depiction of the era was more fun than good but was definitely entertaining. The horseback riding scenes will always be hilarious and the dance choreography while cheesy was also a lot of fun.

Overall, this is the worst of the trilogy but still worth a watch. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing once.
