"3 Ninjas": Nostalgia Goggles - Or Am I Just Blinded By Awfulness?

Okay, so I rewatched "3 Ninjas" the other day. I know, I know, some of you probably have fond memories of this flick from childhood. But man, even accounting for nostalgia, this movie is… rough. Like, sandpaper-on-skin rough. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing ever when I was like 8. Ninjas! Kids beating up bad guys! Booby traps galore! But seeing it now? Woof. The acting is... well, let's just say it's an experience. And the plot? Don't even get me started. Some thinly veiled attempt at a kidnapping plot intertwined with, I guess, family values? The three kids are annoying, especially Tunnel Vision or whatever his name is in that one scene. Grandpa Mori, bless his cotton socks, is the only one who seems to know what kind of movie he's actually in. The pizza scene? Ugh, don't even get me started. How is a 1.5 bite pizza going to do anything to help get the upper hand. Look, I get it. It's a kids' movie. But even by those standards, "3 Ninjas" feels incredibly lazy. The fight choreography is clunky. The dialogue is painful. And the whole thing just reeks of cheap 90s cheese. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man now, but I honestly don't understand the enduring love for this movie. It's one of those films that probably, no definately, is better left in the rosy-tinted past. Seriously, am I the only one who thinks this movie is objectively terrible? Or are my contrarian instincts just kicking in again? Someone please tell me I'm not alone in this. I felt like I was going crazy while watching it. Save you some time and rent something else. Unless you got kids, then they may love the garbage. Just be prepared to hate watch with them.
