As of this review, the rating on this movie is in the 5/10 range. When I look at what the negative reviews are saying, it becomes clear that the bad reviews come from reviewers who are treating this movie like it's supposed to be a serious adult comedy, but it's NOT that kind of movie. It's clearly meant to be a light-hearted movie that is aimed at being fun for younger kids. It's not made for adults; it's absurd and childish and fun, designed to be watchable for 10-year-olds while still being appropriate enough for a 5-year-old to watch and enjoy too.

The movie is definitely absurd in a lot of ways, and several things won't quite add up. Don't take it seriously at all and you'll probably enjoy it. Your kids surely will.

I love this movie! Those three guys are not only great at martial arts but funny and charming actors as well. All the kids loved it when it came out and still quote lines from this 'classic.' Yes, there are borrowed ideas (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Home Alone...) but who doesn't? And stunt doubles for the Grandfather, but who do you think he is, Jackie Chan? Victor Wong makes a sincere grandfather/mentor. Hey, the adult reviewers may not have enjoyed or even understood this movie, but the 'kids' that I know, did. As for the Ninjas themselves, they acted naturally and credibly. A perfect family movie.

OK so i am getting annoyed by all these people bashing this movie....it was made for kids so obviously adults aren't going to love it...DUH!....i mean i watched this movie at least twice a month as a kid and now even though I'm 15 i'll still watch it if its on TV or if i feel like renting it....its a great way to remember what it was lyk being a a little kid....it gets kids imagination working i mean i would spend hours acting out scenes after i saw this movie...and this movie sparked such an interest in martial arts in me that i started taking lessons and now am a brown belt.....its just a fun movie the writer didn't intend it to be a classic but it is anyway to kids and grownups who are kids at heart....think b4 u speak....and don't take everything so seriously....I LOVE COLT!!!!!
