First Is Best.
This is the first, and by far the best of the live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle films. Having said the two sequels don't give it that much competition. This is best left for the kids as the story is on that level. The action is never realistic, falling somewhere between comic book and the A Team. I just wonder what the new computer annimated film will have to offer?
