The drinking game for this movie is every time Megan Fox's butt is in the camera. The only reason I'm giving this 0 out of 10 is that I can't go any lower. Expand

I understand why it may not be enjoyable for some of you, but I really enjoyed the movie when I saw it. I think it's funny, has good action, and great visual effects. It's not for everyone but then again nothing is.

Flat, generic, CGI-filled. 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' bored me, unfortunately.

I have a slight memory of seeing bits of TMNT when I was younger but never intentionally watched it, though have always been interested in viewing a film with them in. So in that sense, this disappointed. It just has nothing about it, no character or charm whatsoever. No reason to care for any of the onscreen bunch. Very plain.

None of the cast stick out, particularly the voices. Megan Fox is probably the best this has to offer, though I didn't mind William Fichtner either... Whoopi Goldberg shows up in an alright minor role too, I guess?

I found little to zero of the action scenes entertaining, not helped by some questionable editing and music. Another issue I did also notice is the humour, which falls flat at almost every opportunity - especially with the grating Michelangelo (Noel Fisher).

I'll check out the sequel, because I always going to, but I ain't expecting much! This 2014 film isn't worth seeing.

Through out the movie there are great punch lines (besides there not Aliens there reptiles) And by far this movie has the best battles in any ninja turtles movies besides tmnt out of the shadows. Better yet Shredder actually looks like shredder but actually more like super shredder which is awesome! And even better when the turtles were in the elevator. 7/10 BOOM! Expand

Story has a slow start, but the second half of the movie delivers. CGI is top notch and the action scenes are very well composed. Megan Fox does an ok job as April O'Neil. Fichtner portrays a good villain, and the turtles are quite funny.

With help from intrepid reporter April O'Neil (Megan Fox) and her cameraman (Will Arnett), the Turtles set out to save New York. While definitely not a masterpiece, but even with its flaws, it still is a very fun and entertaining movie. I'll give TMNT 2014 an A. Expand

This movie does not work at all. First of all, the CGI for these turtles look absolutely hideous, and it's hard not to compare it to something worse. The story in this movie is so boring and confusing that nothing can redeem it. The characters are boring and the plot is just a ripoff of The Amazing Spider-man movie.The action is so boring and nothing special is added to it. Even the jokes are unfunny. The acting is so bland, mainly because of Megan Fox trying not to make herself look like a porn star, but nobody else does a good job either. Overall, this is not justice to the franchise ,and nobody should support this crap, not even mindless kids. Expand

The premise of a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" story can be hard to make convincing, but in an era where we've seen movies that can make a billionaire with weapon suits team up with a thunder God, an angry green man and a 90 year old soldierThe premise of a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" story can be hard to make convincing, but in an era where we've seen movies that can make a billionaire with weapon suits team up with a thunder God, an angry green man and a 90 year old soldier fight an alien army, this new version of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' produced by Michael Bay, a director lacking in good movies with the exception of a couple, should be no problem.

Unfortunately, if you've sat through all four "Transformers" movies, for example, then you'd know what to expect, here. If you actually loved all four of those movies, then you should be looking forward to this.

The film, like the previous ones, focuses on a news reporter named April O'Neil (Megan Fox, proving that looks are more important than acting) who discovers four vigilantes taking down the evil Foot Clan. When she manages to capture it on video via her phone, her boss Bernadette (Whoopi Goldberg) is not convinced and she ends up getting fired from her job and not being able to tell this story. She meets the vigilantes, who turn out to be giant, talking turtles; Leonardo (voiced by Johnny Knoxville), Raphael (Alan Ritchson), Michelangelo (Noel Fisher) and Donatello (Jeremy Howard).

These turtles apparently have a past that does involve April, she is told this when she meets their mentor and father, the giant rat named Splinter (Tony Shalhoub) as he explains all to her.

At just 1 hour and 41 minutes, this film felt twice as long as it should have. None of the scenes, whether it's exposition or even the giant action sequences, are entertaining to hold one's interest. The jokes are pretty much the same as you would expect in a "Transformers" movie... take anytime that Michelangelo tries hitting on April, it's creepy and not funny. The nature of it feels like it's as if Michael Bay actually had more control over this than the director, Jonathan Liebesman.

There is no reason whatsoever to see this film, I couldn't wait for it to end...

Ultimately it’s just kind of… there. It’s bland. Most of the things that make the TMNT franchise feel special have been sanded off to make a very generic modern superhero movie, but one that does almost everything worse than the rest do.Ultimately it’s just kind of… there. It’s bland. Most of the things that make the TMNT franchise feel special have been sanded off to make a very generic modern superhero movie, but one that does almost everything worse than the rest do. There’s a brief action scene that’s sort of like a key early sequence in Batman Begins, just… worse. The origin backstory for the Turtles and Splinter and the entire climax scene are photocopies of The Amazing Spider-Man, just… worse. They add nothing to what came before. None of it’s memorable. It’s just there.
If I can give some praise, I’ll give it to Noel Fisher. He’s a good Michelangelo. The few times I found myself smiling, it was because of his performance. Easily the high point.
The script is awful. Nothing makes a bit of sense. Eric Sacks’ evil master plan is to pump the city full of deadly gas and use the curative properties of the mutagen (a shoehorned-in aspect of the IDW comic series that’s just kinda… there, overcomplicating things for no specific reason) to play the “saviour” and cure everyone, and also receive a big government payday. He’s doing it to get rich, even though he’s clearly already crazy rich, with a palatial mountain estate and his own corporate tower in Manhattan. He has no additional motivation. And his actual plan is laughably stupid - he has the Shredder pump the bright red poison gas out from the top of his tower in the city… which would be immediately noticed by absolutely everyone and reveal that he was behind it all along. How does this plan end with anything but him in a prison cell?
The Shredder himself? He doesn’t need to be in this movie. He serves no purpose. He’s just there to fight Splinter and the Turtles, nothing more. He has no motivation and no character. And even then, he’s almost comically bad at being the big bad villain - he just leaves characters “for dead” twice, who of course turn out to be alive, for no good reason at all. Just, welp, I’m leaving now because whatever. Just to give the movie some cheap drama.
This movie doesn’t really have much of a plot to speak of. I think it might have more plot holes than actual plot. Plot holes you could drive a Turtle Van through. (Hey, how’s that for a DVD pull quote?)
It also doesn’t have any real characters; they’re all pretty broad, basic archetypes at best. There’s no real character development or “arc” for anyone. They try to shoehorn one in for Raphael at the end, but the only setup is a very brief scene early on where he threatens to abandon his family. Not much more comes of it, and his big “emotional breakthrough” falls totally flat. They’re trying to have a big character moment without doing the work to set it up.
In fact, there are a number of attempts at “serious”/emotional scenes that were completely laughable. There was nothing to sell them. They weren’t earned and fell flat. The movie does almost nothing to make you care about these characters - it’s assuming you already do, and that makes it fail on the most basic story level.
The mo-cap technology used is impressive on a technical level, but the directing make it impossible to believe they’re “real”. Part of that is because all of the shots with no humans in them (and there are a bunch) are in full CGI, and there’s no “real camera” to speak of. The way the digital camera zooms in and flies around looks incredibly fake and downright physically impossible, which makes all of those scenes feel like a cartoon or a video game. It doesn’t match up with the “real” footage at all, so it’s a really jarring, distracting fit that highlights how unreal the Turtles are. In a movie like this, it was the worst possible choice they could have made.
The action sequences are obnoxious. In fact, the entire movie seems to be directed by a 12-year-old with ADHD. The camera is constantly swooping in and out and tilting into dutch angles and spinning around and shaking with no rhyme or reason. There’s a scene where some random schlub answering a phone gets a dramatic camera swoop. It’s insane. There are no real storytelling skills on display here; it’s just trying to be as busy as possible so you won’t notice. At times it’s downright incomprehensible.
There’s really not that much more to say about it. It’s a bad movie. It’s pretty forgettable. You can barely even call it a movie, or a story, at all. It’s a bunch of mediocre video-game cut scenes sloppily cut together as a movie. But worst of all, it doesn’t do anything to stand out from the most generic superhero-style action movies out there. And for a TMNT movie, that’s probably the worst thing that can be said about it.
And that’s the thing… none of my main criticisms have anything to do with the changes to the Turtles’ designs, or the changes to the backstory, or Megan Fox, or any of the other reasons that have set the fanbase on edge. It’s all to do with this being a poorly-written, poorly-made movie on its own merits. There’s nothing worthwhile about it.

Rather than dissect what all is wrong with the film its much easier and faster to say what isn't. They managed to strike a fine balance with the ninja fighting where no one was obviously killed (by movie logic or 12 year old logic at least). Some of the fighting bits were amusing. William Fichtner did a good job with what he had to work with. It definitely fits the criteria of being a movie. It was competently filmed. It largely didn't hurt to look at. It makes the first ninja turtles film look heartfelt and good. And its a good example of the value of practical effects (because there weren't any and it showed).
Rather than go on about the rest and spoil things I'd rather point out a few obviously bad choices. Splinter has a fooman chu. Thats a bad guy hair style.
CG lens flare obviously added in post. Just why?
Overall, this film is terrible. Do not pay to see it.

First off all of you saying there ugly gross looking and childish, how about learn to shut your **** mouth and read the title of the movie over and over again until you final realize the title "TEENAGERS" because that's how they act you **** worthless stupid tools. Second off this version is a much more realistic view of the story then a god damn rat learning from some stupid ass master of martial arts by watching him practice like seriously wow that's probably the stupidest argument i have herd about this movie. So I close with **** you you are all retarded moronic **** who have no positive outlook on change even when its clearly a smarter more believable approach then the original "CLASSIC" movies. This movie deserves good ratings from people who enjoy change and don't live there lives on previous events. Expand

It becomes pretty apparent that this film went through a major overhaul of the main plot at some point late in development. This createdYou ever like a movie, while realizing it's really, really, bad? That's how I feel about this movie. It becomes pretty apparent that this film went through a major overhaul of the main plot at some point late in development. This created massive plot holes, and errors in logic far beyond the average action flick. For instance, despite Splinter having no contact with the world outside of the sewer, he has intricate knowledge of Shredder and the foot clan. These type of errors appear frequently. However....it's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and as far as that goes, they nailed it. The four brothers are amazing in every frame, and even Megan Fox pulls off a decent April O'Neil. So what you have to ask yourself is, does the Ninja Turtles have to be well written to be enjoyable? I found that, though these plot holes can be annoying, it's nothing new to the franchise. I grew up on TMNT, and this is honestly a very faithful reboot to the source material. For example, in the cartoon series Shredder often referred to the Turtles as amphibians. Did we care? No, because it's TMNT. So, though it is without a doubt a terrible movie, it is at the same time very fun and entertaining for kids and older turtle fans alike. Expand

Let me start off by saying that i have seen the first teenage mutant ninja turtles movie ever made. The cartoon movies and some of the tv show. Now this movie is far from perfect. I'm not going to lie it really is not. I was fairly excited to hear they were doing a teenage mutant ninja turtles movie. This movie was not a complete bastardization of my childhood like many are pronouncing but The biggest problems I had with this movie was there was not enough splinter and turtles relashinship. Were supposed to feel bad for splinter when he dies but I don't because i barly get to see enough of him. The backstory of the turtles I was like what??????. I appreciate Hollywood trying to be original for once but this just didn't work. Also will arnett's portrayal of Vern was so annoying. I would have loved to see megan fox hurtle him into the ocean. I would have been so happy. Next the foot clan are supposed to be ninjas not mercenaries. I don't have a problem with them being mercenaries it's just that i would have like to see them fight with there fists instead of just shooting. Next The villain who I was not expected him to be and he was very bad. Probably one of the worst villain portrayals of the 21 first century. He was just so boring. Last but not least as many people have already stated this movie focused too much on April o neil and not enough on the turtles. When were supposed to feel scared for the turtles I just don't because not enough time was spent on them. however there are some bright sides. The action scenes were actually pretty awesome. Especially the snow action scene and the fight between splinter and shredder was done to perfection. next, even though the turtles didn't get enough screen time they each had there own personality and each felt different witch i liked. Many people complained about shredders look but i loved it. It was so Awesome I just can't even. And a certain pizza company makes a cameo which to be honest is just a consumerism technique I was very happy they included that in the movie. And last but not least this is Megan fox's best movie I have seen her act in even though as I stated before I would have liked to see less of her Unfortunately teenage mutant ninja turtles lacks any ice ice baby, heart, and turtle splinter connection that could give this movie an extra push. This movie could also be 20 minutes longer. I know it was a movie was made for kids but keep in mind there are probably kids in the audience who are probably familiar with the cartoon. knowing kids they probably couldn't really care This movie is also the perfect example of Hollywood trying to be original but fails pretty miserably. I appreciate this Hollywood but it's just not well executed. this movie it's self also suffers from the many flaws and missed opportunities script wise that would have made this movie great. Expand

This is just... bad. If you like it, that's fine, but I didn't enjoy it. It had a lot of potential, but spent more time on "April O'Neil" (MEGAN FOX) than the Turtles. Try to avoid this if you can.

Antes de empezar a comentar la película me gustaría decirles a los de la distribuidora que el traductor del titulo, ese genio, visionario, cierrabares...Tanto te costaba poner....LAS TORTUGAS NINJA, ¿NINJA TURTLES?, a ver merluzo, ¿tu creesAntes de empezar a comentar la película me gustaría decirles a los de la distribuidora que el traductor del titulo, ese genio, visionario, cierrabares...Tanto te costaba poner....LAS TORTUGAS NINJA, ¿NINJA TURTLES?, a ver merluzo, ¿tu crees que nadie en toda España no sabe quien son LAS TORTUGAS NINJA? llevan años poniendo las series por la puta tele, fueron lideres de audiencia en los 90, las películas fueron famosas...¿NINJA TURTLES? lo único que haces, es quedar como un pobre ignorante, pero bueno, no tengo la culpa de que tus padres sean primos, dicho esto, al turrón con el film.

Hola mis niños y niñas, hoy os traigo la crítica de Las Tortugas Ninja, el reboot de Jonathan Liebesman y producido por Platinum Dunes, la productora de Michael Bay.

La película en USA ha recibido notas bajísimas en medios como Metacritic y Rottentomatoes, pero el publico la aprueba con nota y tras verla, señores críticos... una pregunta quiero haceros... ¿ Que os esperabais de una película de unas tortugas mutantes y ninjas? ¿Os quejáis de que es infantil? ¿Que Michelangello hace chistes? ¿Que la historia es simplona?.... ¿Habeis visto alguna vez las Tortugas Ninja? ¿Cuando las Tortugas Ninja han sido ZERIAZ, HOJCURAS Y REALISHTAS?Si, vale los primeros comics pero me refiero a lo que les catapultó a la fama, la serie.... Dios, que daño ha hecho Nolan al cine. ¿O es que cuando oís Michael Bay os lanzais a la yugular de manera gratuita?, ¡¡SI SOLAMENTE HA PUESTO LOS DINEROS!!

Las Tortugas Ninja (2014) se puede definir como Blockbuster veraniego sin pretensiones que cumple perfectamente su cometido, al igual que otros estrenos de este verano como Guardianes de la Galaxia, si, la pongo al nivel de Guardianes de la Galaxia, porque son la misma cosa. Incluyendo la calidad y al publico al que se dirige, es decir, al juvenil. Y por supuesto Nostalgicos Morriñeros, ES DEL PALO DE LAS VUESTRAS ENCUMBRADAS NOVENTERAS PELICULAS DE LAS TORTUGAS NINJA, salvo la 3, que esa es una puta mierda.

La trama es sencillísima y simple hasta mas no poder, un malo de opereta con plan acorde con él, es decir, no intentan ocultar o solaparlo con complejas tramas y elementos retorcidos para desembocar luego en un plan subnormal digno del Doctor Maligno como en Capitán América : El Soldado de invierno. El plan te lo hueles a la media hora de la película, es mas, la misma película carece de sutileza y te lo está restregando a la cara, pero es perdonable en este caso, porque la película en ningún momento busca pretensiones, para que sea tratada de manera distinta a cualquier blockbuster. También tiene una sarta de chorradillas (Como por ejemplo April tiene una foto y en vez de enseñarla a su jefa le enseña un cartel de suposiciones y paridas conspiranoicas), que están justificadas porque sino la trama no continuaría, e insisto, no buscan los 3 pies al gato.Y por supuesto todo esto aderezado con un humor del palo de Guardianes de la Galaxia.

Quiero comentar que la dirección de Liebesman (Ira de Titanes, La matanza de Texas: El origen), es bastante mejor, ya que este señor tendía mucho a la cámara cocainómana como en Battle L.A, (que espanto de película) y se dedica a copiar a Michael Bay, sin sus excesos, llevando una dirección correcta y controlada. Lo que me gustó bastante del film, los combates, están muy bien hechos y... DIOS, se ven perfectamente, sin recurrir a la cámara cocainómana, el diseño de las tortugas, el CGI está bien integrado y la personalidad de cada una, cada tortuga emana su particular carisma, no son meros clones con antifaces, Raphael por ejemplo es un armario empotrado, el musculo del equipo, Donnatelo es mas delgado y con diálogos dignos de un nerd, Michellangelo la descarga cómica y Leonardo el líder y el responsable del grupo, como en la serie. Los villano (el tío de Prison break y Shredder) pues eso, villanos de opereta que cumplen y se acabó, Sobre Megan Fox, debería decir a su favor que hace un papel correcto, quiero decir que actúa relativamente bien, pero vamos no es para Oscar ni nada por el estilo.

En conclusión, Las Tortugas Ninja es un Blockbuster decente, MUY entretenido, no difama a las Tortugas Ninja, es simplemente un film de entretenimiento de manual que funciona perfectamente.

The action sequences are cool and easy to follow, the turtles still seem like the old turtles at heart and there are some fun, nerdy references for long time fans too (Karai, for example). This is easily the best TMNT movie since the 1990 original. Bring on the superior sequel, please! Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film is a brainless, somewhat entertaining, generously short jog through the new Ninja Turtles' universe. It is supposed to be realistic, but it seems to take itself way too seriously, and ends up being a very confused picture. I wouldn't say it's a horrible movie, because it's really not, but I'd say it's a mixed bag. The animation is mostly fantastic and the banter between the turtles is surprisingly in character with what little was developed about them in this film or what you may know from previous incarnations of the brothers. The plot is uninspired and clunky, but makes for an unintentionally hilarious line from the pseudo-villain. Megan Fox is still a bad actress, but people seem to be attacking her on a personal level, and that's a bit uncalled for. Needless to say, she was bad in the movie, Will Arnett looks incredibly restrained and disinterested in the picture where William Fichtner is having a blast playing the stereotypical business man, and the turtles bounce lines off each other like a well played game of wall-ball. This is a mixed bag because without the great banter between the turtles, and the clever new backstory, this would be just another bad movie. Expand

Personally, I think the two biggest faults were:
1.) Casting Megan Fox as April O'Neil
2.) Being directed by Jonathan Liebesman

What I disliked the most about the film was that it was basically the April O'Neil show!!! I really am getting tired of Megan Fox staring in Bays movies. Heck, we don't see the Turtles until like 10-20 minutes into the movie!!! Also, the Shredder is really underdeveloped. All we focus on is Erick Sacks. But from all my hate, I don't completely hate this movie. The voice acting is decent and the fight sequences are awesome. Although that doesn't mean the movie is great in any way. Not as terrible as I thought it would be, but not a masterpiece. 4/10. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Part of me was too scared of reviewing this cause it might damn me by hardcore Turtle fans but I'm doing it anyway.

I enjoyed this movie when I saw it. But of course that doesn't make it a great movie.

The style, action and comedy is still great. I like how the turtles look although the mouths need to look less weird. I do like how Don look with that tech stuff on but I don't think he needed the glasses. He's already nerdy enough.

One annoying flaw is how they instantly learned ninjutsu from a small book. I mean it should be a bigger book cause there is alot to go though. Also how did they learn to read Japaneses?

The main villain's motivation was stupid. Why does a rich man need to get richer? Also I never understood what Shredder was getting out of it. Maybe I missed that part.

Still the action was wild especially on the show chase and there was that catchy elevator song.

Overall I enjoyed watching it but that doesn't mean it's perfect It could have been a lot better.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles es un largometraje que, si bien no resulta impresionante, si logra ser entretenido.

Esta película es un abreboca bien definido sobre lo que es la historia de estas tortugas con nombres de pintores de la época del renacimiento que contiene escenas de acción entretenidas y, bueno, aunque no logra en sí dar una trama que sea completamente intrépida, sí logra darnos algunos momentos decentes de comedia, ya que, recuerden, esas cuatro tortugas son adolescentes, aunque sin embargo los puntos de comedia de más abundancia caen más en Megan Fox, quien da un trabajo normal y neutral. Así que, por tanto, este film no será el blockbuster del año, pero si llega a dar una buena explosión.

After seeing the movie I got to say that this movie sucks ass. The writing in this movie is dreadful and Megan Fox didn't do a awful job playing April O'Neil but she didn't do a fantastic playing the character. The only good thing in this movie is the turtles themselves. there had funny jokes and so bad-ass fight scenes, but overall Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is another failed reboot that doesn't take any risks of being a good movie. Creepy ninja turtles.

Jonathan Liebesman, Michael Bay, Josh Appelbaum, and anyone else involved in the casting, writing, production, or direction of the film should be beaten with their choice of a sword, a bo staff, sais, and nunchakus. I didn't think it wasJonathan Liebesman, Michael Bay, Josh Appelbaum, and anyone else involved in the casting, writing, production, or direction of the film should be beaten with their choice of a sword, a bo staff, sais, and nunchakus. I didn't think it was possible to ruin a franchise more thoroughly and absolutely than they did. Let's start from the beginning, shall we? The concept of the movie was a complete and total failure. From the introduction sequence of the film to the look and origin of the turtles and Splinter to the overall storyline to how April O'Neil's character would be integrated to the absence of other key characters (Casey Jones anyone?) to how the conflict would be established to the decision to show Shredder's face and eliminate part of the mystery behind his character... it was all bad. I would assume that after they had the preliminary blueprint for the film, they would begin the writing process. Oh man, the writing was terrible! The dialogue felt forced and disingenuous and the script made it just about impossible for any cast to save the film. The characters are not developed at all and the plot is developed even less. How about the casting decisions? Megan Fox? Really? What about Megan Fox screams April O'Neil? Nothing, that's what. Why not go for Emma Stone, Amy Adams, Isla Fisher, Emma Stone, Jessica Chastain, Christina Hendricks, Emma Stone, Karen Gillan, or Rachel Nichols to play everyone's favorite redheaded reporter? Any of them could've provided the appropriate overall look for the character and they all would have their own unique spin on the feel. Whether it be sense of humor, acting style, sensuality, etc. What they all have in common is that they all would've been a better choice than Megan Fox. Oh, and did I mention Emma Stone? Because why bother going after the one actress every single TMNT fan wanted to see in the movie when you can land a brunette with too much plastic surgery and not enough acting chops. Yeah, that makes sense. The casting decisions for the turtles was nearly as bad. Outside of Alan Ritchson (Raphael), none of the other turtles even remotely sounded like their characters and the casting of Johnny Knoxville as Leonardo may have been the worst decision of them all. So now we have a mediocre script and cast, maybe the cinematography and special effects will be good, right? Ha! That's funny. No, instead we got a combination of some of the worst shaky cam, cgi, and overall cinematography I've ever seen. Honestly, it feels almost as if some idiot studio exec gave $125 to some bums off of the street and told them to reboot this beloved franchise. Actually, no, I think they would've done a better job.

For instance why can't Splinter be a human that became a rat in any of the live action movies ? A rat who learned Kung-Fu didn't work in the original movie and it doesn't work here.
But the worse is turtles growing lips and nostrils when they mutated. And Donetello wearing glasses just because he's the smart one. Or Karai in the movie for no good reason when Splinter can't be her real dad in this if he was never human. So in many ways the Nickelodeon series is far superior. Not enough thought was put into the movie. At least the voice work for the turtles was perfect because the movie wasn't.

The minuses - 1) Character backgrounds: Each characters origin and development is blatant but feels hastened. I feel like there just wasn't enough to really get to know the characters 2) The story: The story makes sense but it very straight forward. No arcs, no mysteries, just pure and simple. It's not necessarily bad but something that could have laid a foundation for future TMNT movies to come.

This flick is definitely worth a rental with the significant other or kids. You'll get some giggles and get to see some great action. I would love to see a sequel or hope that a new movie could be made with live-action actors and greater characterization.

So, they're heroes in a half shell?

With sloppy direction from Jonathan Liebesman (Battle Los Angeles) and writing my barely year old nephew could have written, the Michael Bay produced 'Ninja Turtles' is the cinematic equivalent of taking out the trash. It's hard to look at because they had the great idea of making the whole movie a super saturated mix of green and orange. In eighty percent of the movie you can barely tell what is happening on screen because Liebesman's ugly infatuation with shaky cam makes the action with the turtles actually doing ninja stuff so extremely hard to watch that if you were to have seen this in theaters you would probably puke in your seat. But the reason i hated this more than Transformers is because of the whore levels of product placement, there are multiple scenes set up just to sell a brand. For example, Pizza Hut has a whole 3 and a half minute commercial IN THE MOVIE dedicated to their "Novantanove Formaggio, The 99-cheese pizza!" and the whole scene is just Splinter praising Pizza Hut's mediocre Pizza. If you have not seen this hermit in a halfshell I envy you.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched Ninja Turtles when I was younger, I woke up every morning, ate my breakfast and saw the cartoon. It was part of my childhood, along with Spider-Man cartoons. I loved every episode and after seeing other mediocre film adaptations of this super-hero team, I finally sat through this loud, boring clusterf*ck of a movie. Boy, what a breakthrough! After watching this abomination, I can pretty much tell that it's another Michael Bay fest with the same disgusting stereotypes, lame pop culture references, uninvolving action and creppy-looking creatures of other motion pictures directed by him, and I know what you're saying. You're saying that Michael Bay isn't producing. Well, that's no large feat. The guy was evidenced in the final product in a way that shows he had plenty involvement in the production of this movie. But the movie does look like something out of a Michael Bay film and it's near as sh*tty as "Transformers: Age of Extinction". It's like you replace the Autobots with the Turtles and there you have it... another Transformers installment.

Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April O'Neil and her cameraman Vern Fenwick to save the city and unravel Shredder's diabolical plan.

The action, which seemed fun by the looks of the trailer, is incoherently shot, badly edited and terribly directed. Producer Michael Bay learned absolutely nothing from its latest film and when I say "latest", I mean "Transformers: Age of Extinction". The action in Transformers 4 was excessive, boring and extremely stupid and that threatens to happen here, in TMNT. The scene where the Turtles meet April O'Neil on the rooftop, they jump from the roof to the sewer and the camera just f*cking rotates in a jarring fashion that it's almost unbearably nauseating. I mean, I get it Michael Bay, you're trying to connect people with the 3D but there are other ways to do that without being stupid. There's actually something called "coherence". The computer animation doesn't help much either, oh yes, the CGI. Oh my God, between the design of Shredder, which makes me wanna point a gun to my mouth, to the design of the Turtles themselves, which makes me wanna shoot everyone involved in the effects. It's so freaking ugly!

Megan Fox is a horrible actress. Her facial expression in the whole damn movie is almost the same. She doesn't look scared (when she's supposed to) and doesn't look happy (when she also is supposed to). Fox said in a press conference that anyone who criticized TMNT should **** off". It's interesting how she doesn't give a f*ck whether her movie is good or not. She also said that "those people" will all go to the theater. F*ck you, Megan Fox! Do you think I want to give my money to someone incompetent like Michael Bay who only puts you in his goddamn films because you have **** You and your boss can go passionately to the toilet, while I go see movies with much more coherence and importance. If you weren't such ignorant b*tch, you would skip your depilation sessions to take some acting lessons. Christ.

F*ck this movie. This is will be in my 3rd top of "Worst Movies of 2014". Avoid this movie at all cost, or you will be tormented with a contrived, generic plot, terrible acting, dull action, unsightly special effects and one of the most cliched villains ever.

*Sighs* I'm gonna give this movie an 1/10. God help us all.

I am NOT a fan of the cartoons or TV series and not the franchise so why did i watch TMNT? cause we all need something to get to away from the lazy couch potato-house. If there is two thing i can not stand is Megan Fox acting in Bay's franchise, I could not stand the humor what is there to laugh at? it just ninja's eating pizza and saving O'neil. A good thing about the franchise is that producer Micheal Bay did not rape anyone's childhood he actually gave children what they wanted their beloved turtles on the big screen. Expect his production company and himself raped fans expectations of the beloved turtle fight pizza eating franchise. Director John Liebsman (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning), did not ruin the franchise however i do not think that he thinks he directed a lot as he thinks he did cause it feels like it is a Micheal Bay film. All throughout i was impressed by the action, the storytelling. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most of the movie I was either chuckling at the few jewels that were the 'funny' scenes, laughing myself to tears because of how bad it is, or becoming infuriating by how much they butchered the entire plot that was every TV show made on the Turtles.

When they first mentioned the Foot as a crime organization, I was already saying "Damn, they are gonna butcher this plot", and sure enough it happens.

They replace Bradford, the kick-ass student of Shredder's, with Erik Sacks, owner and founder of 'Sacks Industries' which was in no turtles TV show, film or anything related to them. The Foot, an ancient Japanese Clan who rivaled Splinter's, has been completely butchered into a **** street gang. Where the **** are the Purple Dragons?

Splinter, a rat(at least they got that right), is now the result of lab experiment. No past Japanese history, no ancient revenge plot against Shredder, and certainly a lot less respect than in the TV shows.

What's worse, is when the company, Nickelodeon, has an ongoing TV show that is MUCH better than this rushed pile of **** can simply hire the producer of that TV show or BASE IT OFF THE SHOW'S PLOT, makes this...it makes the fans cringe and want to murder the director, in this case Michael Bay, who a lot of people already want to murder. Speaking of Michael Bay.......

Of course he had to bring in Megan Fox......and boy was she actually the worst part of the movie.

Megan fox played the April role, as Christian Bale would play The Joker. She basically played a clueless dumb blonde, who screams plot holes every other scene, confusing us every other time an important event occurs. There were PLENTY of plot holes with April by the way.

Some of the things in the movie just don't make plain sense.

Shredder's Armor for example, if anyone has watched ANY of the TV shows they would know that Shredder, much like Splinter prefers a fast-action fighting style, whilst in this, he basically has as much protection as 6 tanks combined and still moves around like a leaf in the wind(maybe it's the metal the **** Transformers' use?).

The Kraing are removed from the entire first plot, which is a problem on it's own considering that the Mutagen is a creation of the Kraing.

Now of course there were "a few" good points in the story.
Just a few though top 5, because they were the only 5.
1. Megan Fox's ass. We get a few good looks at it, which Michael Bay HAD to put in just to keep interest at a minimum.
2. Adrenaline scene. This was probably the funniest scene, seeing the turtles spiked up on adrenaline was quite entertaining.
3. Raph's wise cracks. These were quite funny.
4. Elevator DJ. This cracked me up. Seeing the entire group in a DJ-isk scene with Mikey leading them.
5. Megan fox's ass. Because why not?

Overall, it's a ****ty movie. If I was Michael Bay, take the money and run and save yourself the risk of LOSING money in the sequel which it will more than likely do, since they butchered the plot and murdered the sequels in a hour and a half movie.

The plot feels stupid thanks to a glaring hole in the villains plan and the turtles new look takes a lot of getting used to. They look disgusting and monstrous most of the time, but after a while you get used to it and don't mind anymore. However the biggest flaw it has is that the turtles themselves feel like side-characters in their own movie.

There's way too much of a focus on April O'neil. This movie is pretty much her origin story. The heroes in a half-shell are pushed to the side in favor of tying her into their past. Even worse is that Megan Fox gives an absolutely crappy performance as O'neil. If she somehow manages to avoid getting a razzie for this I will be amazed. There is no emotion in her performance what so ever and you can clearly tell she isn't trying in the slightest.

So why isn't my score lower? The answer is the turtles themselves. They're brotherly back and forth is entertaining and often funny. Despite how ugly they now look it's hard to not get excited when they appear on-screen. The action isn't anything spectacular, but still provides some decent entertainment.

You can tell it's trying hard to be one of the big blockbuster superhero movies in order to compete. Because of that it takes a lot of the same paths recent superhero flicks have and lacks some necessary originality. However it does still make for a pretty entertaining flick. Especially for the younger TMNT fans out there.

Changes to the fiction are sure to anger hardcore purists and it's not really a great new start for the series on the big-screen. That being said it can still be an entertaining watch. I wasn't really impressed with it and a lot of elements make it seem more geared to a new, younger crowd, but I wasn't bored by it.

If they had focused more on the title characters it could have been a lot better. As it stands it's an at least watchable movie that shouldn't completely burn your inner TMNT fan. There's enough humor and decent action to make it a decent popcorn flick, but it's not hard to see how it could have been better. With more emphasis on the turtles as well as injecting it with more of the series personality the sequel could actually be pretty good.

This isn't a bad TMNT movie, but it's changes clearly make it more geared towards attracting a new audience by giving them what so many other box-office hits have been offering as of late. Because of that it lacks some intelligence and well as enough of the turtles themselves. It makes for a TMNT movie that's watchable, but not entirely satisfying. Especially not for old-school fans. I personally view it as still worth a watch though. Just don't expect to be blown away. My total score for the movie is a 6.5/10.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you grew up with the TMNT series in the 1900s, this would be like watching someone funny you like getting stabbed in the Heart and have the murderer throw his blood and guts IN your face and go "HES NO MORE". If you grew up with the 2004 version of TMNT, it will be like having somebody you looked up to and wanted more future people to be like get cut up and get worn by the killer and try to make some Money out of the flesh suit by trying to act as if hes the "new and better" version of that person. The turtles i remember was allways fighting Ninjas with Ninja weapons against enemies that also used Ninja weapons and used masks like hired assassins. This movie takes those iconic footmen and turns them into TERRORISTS WITH GUNS, WHO TAKES HOSTAGES AND USES C4 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. All that about the turtles learning from their masters moves that he learned from hes master/had when he was human, has turned into a plot convinience with him finding a book about the samurais ways IN A SEWER!!. AND IT DOSEN'T END THERE! instead of the turtles fighting all kinds of random bandits, you know, the purple dragons who was kinda of a big deal in the 2004 version? NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. Now Theres only the "footclan" to fight. Don't Waste your time unless you wanna see how badly michael bay can fu** up your childhood icons. Expand

Some visual effects scenes looked nice but other scenes looked unfinished. The acting was okay. Megan Fox was pretty mediocre for most of the film, and Will Arnett plays as the most unnecessary character in the entire movie. The turtles were the best part of this film. They were funny, and they all had different personalities making each one of them unique. Even though it may have it's many flaws, it's still a fun and enjoyable film if you leave your brain out of this. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would rate the movie as a 7 or 8 but am rating higher due to crazy low scores. I don't usually write reviews but what is up with people these days the movie was fun and action packed you want realism don't watch a movie based on a cartoon. It's like people are so anti Michael Bay that they already had their minds made up before the show is started. I've seen every tmnt and they were all disappointing except for this one. If your not watching ninja turtles for over the top action what the hell are you watching it for. I think the bad reviews are just people tired of the glitzy over produced trash Hollywood throws out constantly while it does get old having people survive insane falls, shrapnel, and all sorts of stupid stuff,this and every superhero movie gets a pass because guess what they are superheroes and can survive things we can't. Yes April surviving the last fall without tmnt help was dumb and the last scene could have been done better in general but the movie was about being fun and I hope they do a sequel because i never thought I'd see a turtles movie live up to the original cartoon. Everyone complaining that its nothing like the cartoon but saying they love the other movies have no idea what they are taking about this movie captured the feel of the cartoon better than any before it. It's way better than any recent transformers or xmen movie and probably ties with the new spiderman. Expand

So i thought having a big budget remake of my childhood favorite TV show would be a great idea....This movie made me think otherwise.
TMNT just feel like another Micheal Bay explosion filled adrenalin ride. It's not a bad thing but its nothing original. It Follows the 4 Turtles and April O'Neil (Megan Fox) and there quest to stop shredder from destroying NYC, Never heard that one before. The Action and CGI is good at least , tons of destruction and little details in the turtles that make them feel a bit more real. I felt like this movie was wasted potential, So many characters to explore within the TMNT universe but they pick shredder and his foot-clan. Even with my gripes about the story etc the movie still made burst out laughing at times and brought a smile to my face when they Yell things like "cowabunga dude!"
Altogether TMNT is a good weekend film if your looking for some action, but fans of the series don't get your hopes up.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" 10 Scale Rating: 4.5 (Mediocre) ...

The Good: While it wasn't a good film, it was much better than I expected it to be. The turtles themselves were actually very well done and captured the distinct personalities of the characters almost perfectly. The effects for the foursome were also top notch and they looked remarkably real. Fight scenes were mostly well choreographed and the film has it's fun moments.William Fichtner and Will Arnett were adequate in supporting roles. Tony Shaloub wasn't bad as the voice of Splinter. I'd give the first half of the film a 7.5 ...

The Bad: ... but, I'd only give the second half a 2.0. After keeping it reigned in for 45 minutes or so, Michael Bay just couldn't help himself. As with his Transformers franchise the humans involved survive impossible falls, crashes, attacks, and hails of shrapnel. The film also suddenly decides to ignore things like physics, gravity, and well ... science in general, to a comedic extent. I can suspend belief quite a bit, especially for a film involving mutated fighting turtles, but I can only ignore so much. The last 30 minutes of the movie is a few long bombastic action scenes that are a the hallmark of a Bay offering ... but not in a good way. The film's main villain was done up in that EXTREME!!! Micheal Bay style and was ultimately silly and difficult to take seriously. He had massive knives and blades all over him in ways that didn't seem useful at all. Megan Fox was also horrible as April O'Neil. She was decent during "damsel in distress" moments, but anything more than that was a disaster especially when asked to do something as difficult as, you know ... delivering lines. While the turtles themselves were amazing on screen, the same can't be said for their mentor, Splinter. He looked like a cartoon and was just bad CGI. The film's conclusion also left something to be desired as once the villainous plot is revealed, it is resolved in a straight-forward (and loud and explosive!) manner. Not as bad as I thought it would be, but I expected one of the worst films I've ever seen so that isn't saying much.

That's all this movie is, a cash grab. Micheal Bay, the man who single handedly destroyed the transformers destroyed TMNT as well. He did NOT direct the movie however, he had a large creative role in shaping the movie. The story did not stay true to the comic book. The turtles look like the aliens from Avatar. In the comic books, the turtles are short (no taller than 5 feet tall). However in this movie they are giants. Transformers had giant robots so Bay figured TMNT needed giant turtles. Megan Fox was a terrible choice for April O'Neil. She can't act. She doesn't even look like April. She could have at least dyed her hair and got the ****** hair color right. William Fichtner as the Shredder. Bay mentioned in an interview that he did not feel comfortable working with Asians and found them to be creepy. He said that was the reason behind the Japanese having very little screen time in Pearl Harbor. Racist Bay decided casting a white guy as Shredder would be a good idea. William Fitchner is just as much of a racist for helping to contribute to "Yellowface" in Hollywood. I even tweeted him about it on twitter and he told me to go back to China and blocked me. F him. The TMNT films from the early 90s are far superior and are much closer to the comic books. This TMNT film is much closer to the god awful cheesy 80s cartoon. Michael is basically the Justin Bieber of movies. Or you could say Michael Bay is like a reverse King Midas because everything he touches turns into poo poo. Expand

"Stupid", I initially thought of the leaked pictures, but it doesn't take long until the turtle's charm and humour take over. So yeah this is a great paced comedy-action movie that's not trying to be something else.
And don't get me started on faithfulness... Each Turtle's rendition/retelling has been different from the next. This compliments the whole franchise really well and I put this amongst the top of the pile.
Everybody falls into their roles perfectly and yes.. Even Megan Fox. She starts off shaky but soon she is a believable April O'neil. There's not much else I can say about the Turtles and Splinter... Except that they absolutely kick ass.
All I need to end this with is that I had a great time and the haters were watching a completely different movie or they let their grump take over big-time. Just watch it.

The film was never going to win any awards but people are far too quick to say the negatives and not enjoy the film for what it was. Entertainment. That is what is was for me an hour and a half of senseless brainless action and comedy. Who cares if it didn't follow the original exactly the same. Yes the turtles were not exposed to ooze but were an experiment instead which lets be honest is far more believable. On to the film itself. I enjoyed it because I accepted it for what it was. The turtles themselves made me laugh the personality of each one of them was different and very comedic. The sequence down the mountain was excellent and very well done it definitely made me site back and think wow impressive. The lift scene was especially funny and made me laugh out loud. In short its a film that is all it is and an entertaining one. There are many more films out there that are worse than this. Just give it a chance... Expand
