Review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) by Kevin R — 04 Oct 2018

Such a wasted opportunity- this is a bad film, no two ways about it, The turtles aren't friendly- they actually look menacing and quite frankly- creepy. April O Neill played with aplomb by Megan Fox who is subjected to so many voyeuristic shots of her body that I expected the makers of this travesty to put forth a disclaimer at the start: Not to be seen by feminists.

But then this is the kind of subject no feminist would rather watch. The action- much like all of Bay's films is so fast and joyously edited that you forget who is who. It begins and ends and that is it.

If you are a fan of the cartoon you will be borderline suicidal. If you are a new inquisitive to the turtle phenomenon you'd be bored and wondering when the interval will happen. This is one film you should definitely miss.
