Not a great movie but Ernest Borgnine brings a credible performance and the story is touching. Likely appeals to the early grade school kids.
Viewer Reviews I cannot even mention this movie while keeping a straight face. It is so, so terribly and disgustingly pathetic that even kids will cry from the pure sadomaschist images seen on screen. The people didn't even try to make Mel believable; it's like the production desiger said, "let's take some of this crap latex and stick it onto some metal parts. Take apart this Electo-set motor and form it into a turtle." Seriously, did director Joey Travolta honestly think the mechanical turd was convincing? You can freakin' see the skin flopping around over the mechanics! And the visual effects are so, so poor that you'd think Uwe Boll would use them in his next mockfest. Ernest Borgnine was definitely on drugs to believe he could save this atrocity. Miss this, and if anyone tells you to see it, kill them.
