Essentially, this movie is what it would have been like if Cannon made movies for kids. Not just family movies--they made those. No, 3 Ninjas is what it would look like if they decided to make a full blown action movie in the vein of American Ninja starring kids and for kids. And, directed by Jon Turteltaub, the results are better than you might think.
Make no mistake, this is a very '90s movie. Every single trend you can imagine from the time period is in this film. As a result, it never really transcends being the sum of its parts. That said, its parts are actually very well put together which leads to a surprisingly fun time. If you've got kids or younger relatives, this one has aged surprisingly well for them. Particularly if you're watching the international cut. But that's a whole other subject.
