Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III was released in 1993 as the third installment in the original live-action film series. Upon its release, the movie received largely negative reviews from critics and fans alike, who criticized its weaker storyline, inconsistent tone, and departure from the successful formula of its predecessors. The voice performances, including Brian Tochi as Leonardo and Corey Feldman as Donatello, were noted but did little to elevate the film's reception. Over the years, the film's reputation has largely remained that of a dated relic, often regarded as the weakest entry in the original trilogy. However, some fans have developed a nostalgic appreciation for it, though it is not broadly considered a cult classic or underrated gem.
