Review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) by Thegodfatherson — 11 Aug 2014

TMNT is the thing that was on every kid's mind around the 90's. The loving turtles were icons and role models for kids back then, even for me! This reboot manages to wipe out the charm and fun out of TMNT itself.

It's another CGI animated action movie with a washed out plot and cheesy dialogues. To come to this all time low, the franchise had to suffer through a bad series of kid movies by Nick and this film is also made by Nick.

God. The turtles are back! Yay! Or not. Maybe. The film starts out with boring scenes between April O Neil played by Megan Fox and Vernon Ferwick played by Will Arnett. And Bernadette played by Whoppi Goldberg.

Gosh, why did you do that Jonathan Libesman!? This movie was all about special affects and I have to say the avalanche seen was crazy awesome and it was the only thing that was good. By the time turtles show up it's been 30 or 20 minutes.

This could have been just called April and Vernon forever in 3D. The turtles are funny, the jokes are washed out but still- TURTLES!!!! After that we meet William Fitchner who plays Eric Sachs, who nobody cares about.

Seriously. Shredder shows up after 50 minutes and then everything goes boom blam and boom. For the rest of the movie. When it ended, I was glad that people don't have to watch bad jokes and mind numbing CGI for another hour.

These turtles are nothing like the originals. The story is new. Everything is new. Sometimes that's not a bad thing, but now it is. I was hoping this would stay faithful to the TMNT movie. But no, it's YET ANOTHER Micheal Bay bang bang boom movie.

It's bad, sloppy TMNT. I give it 1/10 because the did a good job with that avalanche scene. Everything else- 0/10. Another box office bomb. This time it landed on the turtles.
