there be a number of sign you can spot to tell when a franchise be in trouble ( like any rule and nothing concrete but generally well worth adhere to ) represent an episode be set randomly in space and an episode feature a crossover with another ail franchise and or or an episode decide to pull out all the stop and go the time travel route . the third outing for out hero in a half shell ( if you do not know about them by now then start at the beginning before even attempt to endure this ) provide u with some time travel shenanigan a the quartet find themselves be transport to ancient japan to fight some angry folk and rescue april oneil ( play once again by paige turco ) . it all really rather lame and i find myself unable to get work up enough to either praise or damn the movie with any energy . the fight be very unexciting and the comedy be even more dated and immature than in the previous outing and absolutely nothing happen that stop you long for the movie just end as quickly a possible . i will never know what persuade elias koteas to return a casey jones ( and and in fact and a a glutton for punishment he take on two role this time around though neither of them get that much screen time ) but he a small ember of enjoyment in a rather stinky quagmire of a movie . it passable and it may well keep the kid amuse for the duration but i wouldn not even guarantee that . i be the most undemanding viewer you could wish for and at time and and even i be tempt to reach for the eject button so make of that what you will . hopefully and director stuart gillard name be not one i will see attached to any project i be interested in further down the line . it look like he stick in tv land now and even that more than he deserve judge by his inept handling of our mean and green and fight machine . see this if you like represent 3 ninja and 3 ninja knuckle up and teenage mutant ninja turtle ii represent the secret of the ooze and .
