It does have some funny moments and the action scenes are pretty good. Unfortunately, the film is mostly boring, the plot's unoriginal, the turtles look awful, and there's barely any character development(even from the turtles).

The 2nd best TMNT movie next to the 1990 original. It Was funny, action packed, Megan Fox was awesome as April. Michelangelo has always been my favorite and he didn't let me down in this movie. Can't wait for the sequel!

Yet another failure by Michael Bay....and yeah yeah he wasn't the director but it was his job to oversee everything, including hiring the director....so yeah it's totally Michael Gay's fault.… Expand

While it's not the best turtles movie, It was still a decent flick. You can tell Micheal Bay had a TON of involvement in this movie, because it falls into the same trap as the Transformers movies. This movie should REALLY be called April O...scratch that, Megan Fox, featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. To everyone predicting that Megan would not be a good April, you were right. She felt really 1-dimensional and again felt like she was there to appeal to the teenage boy demographic. Shredder was very 1-dimensional as well, and pretty much looked like a mini-Transformer. The ONLY redeemable thing about this movie, is the Turtles themselves. Each actor did an excellent job portraying the turtles, and when they were on screen, I really thought we had a good turtle movie on our hands. However, I was kinda wrong. The only other thing great about this movie, was the downhill action scene. That was truly great. None of the other characters were great at doing what they were intended to do, and the turtles are the only reason to see this movie. Is it the worst turtles movie? No. Is it the best? Far from it. It's really just a "Meh" or "Okay" movie. I gotta hand to the movie though, at least it was better than Transformers:AoE. I am, however, excited and curious to see where this franchise goes.… Expand

The first time I shook my head at all the cheesy lines and counted the seconds til the turtles came on. The second time, I felt even worse about the acting but still thought the animation and how the turtles were presented was really cool.

Last night I proclaimed my unwavering love for this movie.

Each and every scene and line from this movie is derived from the cartoon that i grew up watching with a lot of the dark comic book elements. No, it doesnt have the best script, or the best acting, or make all that much sense when you cut it into slices. But we're talking about teenage mutant ninja turtles. It is, by nature, meant to be over-the-top and be COMPLETELY based in a comic book world, where anything and everything is possible.

The action, the lines, delivery and all the elements from each and every scene look and feel like they are straight out of a comic book. The people working on this project did a phenomenal job of really bringing those scenes to life. Are lines like "I didnt have a voice then, but I thank you now." and " drain all of their blood... even if it kills them" strokes of movie-writing genius sent from movie heaven? "Of course not", will say you experts. But they are exactly the types of lines that would be in ANY comic book.

What Leibsman and Bay did was exactly what I dreamed about, and spent countless hours as a child imagining with my 4 action figures. They brought those tiny plastic toys that i used to splash about in my bathtub, animated them to look really cool (and made them into characters, not just 4 same-sized guys with different bandanas and a letter on their belt) and put them on the side of a huge friggen mountain. Are you kidding me? Ive waited for 22 years to see something this big and this fantastic with these guys in it. It was PERFECT.

The Shredder gives me the willies every time i see him (even the third go-round). Sachs is that under-cover bad guy that I absolutely hate. April is trying to be more in the world than just a hottie, she wants to make a difference. Splinter looks a little weird, but he is truly the father and a unquestionable badass.
It was everything that a NINJA TURTLES movie should be.

With all this being said; if youre going to be upset because the origin story is a little different and eric sachs sounds too close to oroku saki for your taste and robot shredder isnt "authentic" enough and that the turtles are actually 4' in the comic but look like professional hockey players in this movie... Then do what you want to do. Go buy the ticket see the movie and then write about how awful you thought it was for whatever reason you want to. Or don't. Whatever.

BUT if you love the ninja turtles and remember what it was like to play the games and have the toys and watch it after school, then go see this movie. DO NOT WAIT til you can see it on dvd or netflix. It is worth seeing on the big screen.

P.S. The subway fight is really really REALLY cool.… Expand

An okay movie that is almost faithful to the series despite unnecessary silly changes. For instance why can't Splinter be a human that became a rat in any of the live action movies ?

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.… 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

Besides the bad writing, bad voice acting, bad plot, and bad cgi, it's ok. There are a couple of funny moments, but for the most part the CGI looks terrible and it has too much going on.

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

The reasons for this:

1. Nothing about Japan is mentioned. Japan and Ninjitsu are the back story here so why do they have no mention.
2. Splinter has a master - Master Yoshi no mention of him
3. The story makes no sense either. Who actually killed Aprils father? the fire or shredder?
4. If anyone reads the story plot of the original 1987 series OR the 2003 series you will understand about the back story.
5. This has completely ruined another franchise thanks to good old Michael Bay!
This guy just ruins everything he touches, all his films are simply just explosion after explosion.

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.… Expand

The visuals can be pretty cool at times (especially with the turtles themselves & that snow mountain scene) but other than that it's really not worth going out of your way to see.

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?

If you over-analyze any film even remotely related to Michael Bay's name -- in this case, he's one of the many producers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is predictable and rather drained of as much as substance as Megan Fox's acting.

But in comparison to 2007's failed mission at reviving the turtles on the cinema screen, it's at the most mindless entertainment for the younger viewers. The 3D and special effects are its drive; in fact, the snowy mountain scene alone is a hell of a lot better than anything in Bay's Transformers trilogy. But whether you hate it or love it, it'll be an inevitible box-office success and you'll see a sequel sooner than you can say "Please, no."… 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.… Expand

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".

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!!.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is a bland and derivative mess with absolutely no creativity or originality or talent on show at all. It's a failure on every conceivable level. Don't bother with it. The film-makers clearly didn't.

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.… Expand

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.

I think I made the worst possible choice of what movie I wanted to see this weekend. I never watch movies 2 times, but I think I would have been extremely better off seeing Guardians of the Galaxy again than watching this monstrosity. I kid you not, this is the worst movie I have seen all year. Yes, worse than Transformers 4. Anyway, let me tell you why it is so godawful. The storyline here is something you've seen over and over again in TMNT lore. Splinter raises the 4 turtles, they rise up to be true ninjas and then they fight against Shredder and the Foot Clan. Yes, it's produced by Michael Bay. Thankfully, though, the plot doesn't become jumbled, but so much of the movie felt like Michael Bay was the director entirely. Stupid writing, plot points, acting, and so much more plague the film. Megan Fox plays April O'Neil, and while she's not terrible, she's not very good, either. Will Arnett's character is annoying, and William Fichtner brings nothing to the table. Shredder is supposed to be a true menace with dark tales to be told, but that's not here. The action sequences here aren't that great. While I did adore the snowy mountain action sequence, the other action scenes (the 4 turtles pretty much just beating the sh*t out of the Foot Clan) weren't as exciting as they should've been. Michaelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, and Leonardo aren't at their best here, but they are all slightly serviceable. What I really found dull in them is that none of them were very likable to me, and these turtles should be that in every way. I will be honest with you here: the only good thing in this movie to me was the 10-15 minute snowy mountain action sequence. Besides that, this movie is well deserving of being my least favorite of the year so far.… Expand

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.… Expand

This film was about as good as they could do with the source material, for those saying that it was nothing like the TV series i suggest you look again, it was very close to how they were portrayed when i was younger and, naturally, mainly received hate from Michael bay haters before it even came out. The design of the turtles was originally a little off putting but you get used to it very quickly. Overall this film is fun and definately worth a watch, but a sequel will need a far better story more personal to the turtles and splinter and also maybe some cast jumbling so that the turtles are the stars and megan fox isn't.… Expand

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.… Expand

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!"

TMNT 2014 captured the original underlining personalities of the turtles and Splinter was hardcore.
The film opens with a cool comic book fly through done in the style of the old TMNT when they was 1st released in 1984.

The turtles looked like a cross between Shrek, and Hulk, their strength is greatly increased by far the strongest TMNT ever seen cool but also a bit of a letdown.

Pace of them movie was rushed, leaves you feeling like something was missing. The story was very safe and average nothing pushing boundaries or taking risk.

Strong family value and a few heart strings will be tugged. The theater was packed the audience laugh through 30% of the film because of Mikey. Whoopi Goldberg stunk really bad not funny at all.

Over all I would go see the movie, Have a great time with your family and build some memories - I would also buy the DVD when its released. http://scannerdrome.com/sdpodcast/… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a big ‪Liebesman‬ fan yet his movies have this weird habit of coming out to be okay - not awesome just mediocre good!

Flick starts with a very dodgy screenplay and a lot of ‪Megan Fox‬ not to mention that other guy! There were some casual remarks of Turtles and some word of mouth stories (seriously a micro-disappearing-action bit against the Foot clan doesn't cut it, you director!) Almost yawned so big that I nearly died till I saw the turtles pop up out of the blue and this time with a proper screen-time for a change. Michaelangelo‬ is the most adorable one, his wits make you crack. CGI is good but not Rise of the Planet of the apes good! ‎Sensei‬ is less gross for a change and boy he can fight! But one of the most badass elements in the flick is ‪The Shredder‬ whose face we don't see in the entire movie (whaaaaaaaat?) But he makes those teenage turtles his bi***.

What was disappointing to watch was ‪Fichtner's limited role, such a waste of his talent, also a clichéd tale, poor screenplay and too much of that other guy failing yet trying to tap that Megan ass, and a blunt and painful manifestation of the turtle's fiascoes. The humor becomes good right after the interval and keeps you rooted. Go ahead and watch the flick if you wanna have a good laugh, entertain yourself and wanna watch these immature Turtles get there asses kicked.

Watch out for the most rad scene in the flick - when these teenage ninjas ice skate in the avalanche with a swaying truck m/ pretty dope!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I begin I must state that I went into seeing this film not expecting much from the kids movie. Okay now that's been said, I surprisingly really liked the movie. They stayed true to the basic of the turtles personalities and gave a more modern version of Shredder. I do feel like Splinter wasn't given enough time, but I have a feeling I'm nitpicking there. I also do kind of wish that they gave more individual moments to each of the turtles, but that can also be done in the second movie. I understand this movie was more or less suppose to gain new fans as well as satisfy old who already know the turtles personality very intimately. One thing I did not appreciate was Megan Fox as April. It annoyed me how it seemed every few minutes she was in a scene they had to talk about how hot she was, like what every other movie does! I grew tied of her in Transformers and I tired of her in this movie. Although I must admit I found Mikey having an obvious crush on her adorable and I laughed at the end when he sang to her, but that was mostly his character's doing. If they do another movie I'm hoping they will replace Megan with someone a little less "I'm so hot" with someone a little more "I'm very creditable."… Expand

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

Even before I had seen the movie or read about it I knew exactly what to expect. 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

In the current film landscape flooded with film after film it is difficult to find a good film, a true piece of art, and this is it. It is extremely befitting that four Renaissance artisans are from where the characters derive their namesIn the current film landscape flooded with film after film it is difficult to find a good film, a true piece of art, and this is it. It is extremely befitting that four Renaissance artisans are from where the characters derive their names because this film, to call it a film almost insults the work, is greater than the sum of those four great men's lives work combined. To call this a film or a movie insults the work as it is tainted by the imperfection of the medium, this piece transcends the flawed projectors from which it is shown and restores faith in humanity in whomever is priverlaged enough to see it. To say that this film was crafted by anything less than Devine intervention is an affront to decency and a farcical and ludicus attempt to discredit not only the greatest film ever created but the panicle of human and Devine achievement. If this magnificent piece does not win every oscar there is then the academy should be shut down, it is irrelevant that this does not conform to the oppressive standards set by the academy for 'documentaries' or some other irrelevant 'work' that pales in comparison to this Devine masterpiece, as the beauty and elegance of this piece transcend our flawed human minds it should win not only every academy award, but every award on earth.… Expand

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.… Expand

Well I fears were realized, this movie sucks. They're barely any redeeming qualities to this piece of garbage! While this isn't as bad as Transformers Age of Extinction is, you can completely tell it's a Michael Bay production.

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

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.

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.… 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...… Expand

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.… 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

With a terrible actress, clumsy and a bit boring story, and fake false science-fiction, this down-beat story can just be called "fantasy". This could sound a bit interesting for children or some teenagers.

This movie hasn't got a lot of plot in it, but it has some funny moments, awesome effects and great animation. I do think this is worth a shot watching.

I think all of these bad reviews are from stupid idiots who just suck at life. This movie was created by the original creators so they have any right they want to change the story to whatever they seem fit! First off all of you saying thereI think all of these bad reviews are from stupid idiots who just suck at life. This movie was created by the original creators so they have any right they want to change the story to whatever they seem fit! 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

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.… Expand
