Diagonaldi Very well executed

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

wow101 old school fan will like? no... a die hard old school will say it sucks. Why reboot instead of making a sequel... wasted... Yeap... the turtles have grown up so much, and so mature... and so muscular... wow... but a freaking reboot, the same old stinky story? Been watching TMNT cartoons and certainly, this reboot can do way better than just a reboot. I don't know what happen to people nowadays, just reboot, reboot and more reboot...Movie itself. it's OK, standard stuff expected. Still rating it a 1/10 or 0/10 if available, since the story is nothing new... same shyt, different shape... enjoice...

Tejaswy Nalam I first watched the film in 2007 when it was actually released. I was feeling bored and 7 years later revisit our green reptilian friends and was once again thoroughly entertained.Make no mistake, I might be biased here. I am a TMNT fan and have always, always enjoyed the shows, the movies and even the odd video game.The animation of this movie is brilliantly done, and even 7 years and many advances of technology later can easily hold its own against the current crop of animated movies.Especially awesome is the battle sequence in the rain at night. That alone is worth it. It is brilliantly animated and the soundtrack is just great.This is a turtles movie, and if you think some sequences are too unreal and if you feel that use of deus ex machina is a no-no, you seriously need to get your head checked.We watch movies for exactly this stuff!

badfeelinganger loved the original movie, loved the animated series and hell, I even dug the 2003 animated series. Remember that period when they were a rock band? I digress. This franchise is not without its hitches, as every franchise is, but "TMNT" was a step in the right direction. Computer animation, great cast, and bringing the turtles back to the dark without abandoning their major audience. I'm assuming you know the story of the turtles by now, so I'll segue into the review.Visually, "TMNT" is spectacular. For a film that's basically intended to cash in on the one gigantic cash cow, I was surprised how above par the animation is. From the massive battle sequences, to the atmosphere of the city, right down to the character design, the animators seem to spare no expense. And they compose their film as an animated movie and not as CGI. This is a cartoon, and there are no bones about it. The turtles have drifted apart after the death of the Shredder, and Leonardo has become a recluse in the jungles of South America, training and living as a vigilante. Found by April who is now a tomb raider/adventurer, he's called back to re-unite with his estranged brothers and take on a new evil. The new twist on the lore is that the turtles have basically become products of the society they hide from.Donatello is now a tech help operator, Michelangelo is now a party entertainer, and Raphael is a reclusive warrior. The only one who remains rooted in his training is Leonardo, as we'd expect. The voice performances for this revival are as good as I hoped. Sarah Michelle Buffy is pretty solid as April, while Chris Evans plays upon his slacker hothead routine yet again taking on the one and only Casey Jones. But I came for the turtles, and I wanted to see if this cast could fill the shells of the former. And they performed extremely well. But the wonderful casting choice remains in Mako. He's excellent as Master Splinter, and inhabits much of the spirituality/philosophical conscience that bind the turtles together, even at a time when they are most separated."TMNT" feels like a preamble to something bigger, and when you delve deeper and deeper into the story, you can't help but feel the franchise may just be kicking off again. Here's hoping a certain tin encased warrior returns. "TMNT" was a lot of fun, and I'm glad it met most of my expectations.Great animation, good voice work, and an entertaining story make it a revival worth watching again and again, and it was exciting watching the heroes in a half shell kick ass again. Bring on the sequel.

DJ Zurn Well, ever since I was infected with Ninja Turtle Fever, I was eager to see the 2007 CGI animated film by Warner Bros. and the Weinstein Company. While I love the original 1990 film and consider the sequels decent, I was interested in seeing the 4th installment, the so called "spiritual" sequel to the 2003 4Kids series. What do I think of TMNT? It's a fun movie, but I really wouldn't consider it part of the 90s series nor the 2003 series. It's a standalone piece and a separate Ninja Turtles entity with it's own mythos and vibe. Now if you want to put it in with the previous films, that's perfectly fine, but for me, this is a one man show. I remember when this film was on the verge of premiering, everyone was going crazy. Everyone was clamoring to see the Ninja Turtles reinvented in glorious CGI animation. Then the reviews came in. Some liked it, saying that it was just as entertaining for adults as it was for children. Others despised it, calling it a stain on the Ninja Turtles legacy. While I disagree with the latter, I have to be honest. This film was good and decently executed, but it left a lukewarm impression on me and was just not as memorable as it's 1990 counterpart or even The Secret of the Ooze. The turtles came off a bit bland and the only ones who got the most character progression were Leo and Raph. Of course it's not TMNT until Leo and Raph fight over leadership and bravery, yada, yada, yada, but here, it feels a bit overdone. We get it, Leo and Raph often disagree, just like all brothers sometimes disagree. Why must it be mercilessly bludgeoned into our skulls? The fights scenes were good, but were just standard TMNT fight scenes, nothing more. Mako's take on Splinter was fun to watch and it was good for Mako to end his career on a high note, but April and Casey Jones didn't leave that big of an impression on me. Sure, Casey had a few goofball moments and it was interesting to see April train as a female ninja, but that's really all they had going towards them. Some things I can highlight on are Patrick Stewart as the voice of Mr. Winters and Lawrence Fishburne's excellent narration at the beginning and end of the film. The designs of the characters is also fun to marvel upon and the designs of the turtles is probably one of my favorite designs for the fad four. I also like the look of the stone warriors and the foot soldiers never looked better in all black attire. Shredder's daughter Karai makes an appearance, taking her slain father's place as head of the Foot Clan and she even forms a brief alliance with the turtles to stop the evil stone warriors and save the city from turmoil. TMNT was a good movie to experience and I wouldn't mind whipping it in the DVD player once in a while, but it had some things I wish were improved a bit more. Nevertheless, when it was good, it was really good and avid Ninja Turtle fans will, in my opinion, find it fun. COWABUNGA!
