DCfan If you are a fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles then you might love watching this movie. The story was good, the voice acting from Mako, James Arnold Taylor, Nolan North, Mitchell (Sorry if I have spelled his name wrong), Mickey Kelley, Patrick Stewart, Fred Tatashiore, Kevin Michael Richardson and Chris Evens was good. Kevin Smith was a waste and Aprils voice sounded off. However, the CGI animation and the character designs were good though.
badfeelinganger loved the original movie, loved the animated series and hell, I even dug the 2003 animated series. Remember that period when they were a rock band? I digress. This franchise is not without its hitches, as every franchise is, but "TMNT" was a step in the right direction. Computer animation, great cast, and bringing the turtles back to the dark without abandoning their major audience. I'm assuming you know the story of the turtles by now, so I'll segue into the review.Visually, "TMNT" is spectacular. For a film that's basically intended to cash in on the one gigantic cash cow, I was surprised how above par the animation is. From the massive battle sequences, to the atmosphere of the city, right down to the character design, the animators seem to spare no expense. And they compose their film as an animated movie and not as CGI. This is a cartoon, and there are no bones about it. The turtles have drifted apart after the death of the Shredder, and Leonardo has become a recluse in the jungles of South America, training and living as a vigilante. Found by April who is now a tomb raider/adventurer, he's called back to re-unite with his estranged brothers and take on a new evil. The new twist on the lore is that the turtles have basically become products of the society they hide from.Donatello is now a tech help operator, Michelangelo is now a party entertainer, and Raphael is a reclusive warrior. The only one who remains rooted in his training is Leonardo, as we'd expect. The voice performances for this revival are as good as I hoped. Sarah Michelle Buffy is pretty solid as April, while Chris Evans plays upon his slacker hothead routine yet again taking on the one and only Casey Jones. But I came for the turtles, and I wanted to see if this cast could fill the shells of the former. And they performed extremely well. But the wonderful casting choice remains in Mako. He's excellent as Master Splinter, and inhabits much of the spirituality/philosophical conscience that bind the turtles together, even at a time when they are most separated."TMNT" feels like a preamble to something bigger, and when you delve deeper and deeper into the story, you can't help but feel the franchise may just be kicking off again. Here's hoping a certain tin encased warrior returns. "TMNT" was a lot of fun, and I'm glad it met most of my expectations.Great animation, good voice work, and an entertaining story make it a revival worth watching again and again, and it was exciting watching the heroes in a half shell kick ass again. Bring on the sequel.
XstremeFan7 So, as soon as I finished watching the TMNT film, I thought "OMFG!". It's the best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle film I've ever seen. It's definitely my favourite film ever! I mean, what's not to like (I mean love) in this film? The story's great, the animation's great, the voice actors are great, comedy's great,everything's great! The fight between Leo and Raph is probably the memorable scene in this film and it's my favourite scene.The reason why I'm only giving it 9 out of 10 is because there's no Shredder (OK, he can be seen at the start of the film and has been mentioned by Lawrence himself, but that's it). I wish we can see the turtles fighting the Shredder. It would be badass!
Wizard-8 Although through the past twenty years or so I have managed to see all three of the live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, I didn't think much of them. So when I sat down to watch this computer animated version, my expectations were pretty low. To my surprise, it was somewhat better than what I was expecting. Though I wished at times that the colors were stronger and more vibrant, the movie for the most part has a good look to it. The director also manages to stage some fairly well done action sequences here and there. The script, however, is a mixed bag. While the screenplay successfully manages to give each turtle a strong and different personality from each other, the central plot concerning the menace the turtles are fighting feels extremely thin and lacking detail. The supporting character (such as April) also feel like afterthoughts. The movie certainly isn't dull, but I do think that more time should have been devoted to rewriting the screenplay. While the movie does in the end manage to be better than what you might expect, it does all the same have some big shortcomings. It will probably help if you are a Ninja Turtle fan.
