I really enjoyed this movie despite it almost being ruined by Whoopi Goldberg's terrible acting. How does someone so awful keep getting cast in films. Thankfully her scenes are over quickly and Megan Fox performs wonderfully in one of her best roles thus far. The graphics of the turtles are amazing and definite eye candy.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES is a shamefully bad Hollywood comic book blockbuster produced by Michael Bay, who really should know better. I'm a fan of the 1980s TV series but this is nothing like that show and instead an example of the usual soulless, mindless, unoriginal trash currently filling cinemas. Gone has the look, warmth, and humour of the turtles themselves, to be replaced by motion captured CGI hulks who make incessant and deeply unfunny one-liner jokes whenever they're on screen. Watching their supposed 'camaraderie' is an embarrassment and don't get me started on the voice acting. Megan Fox shows up to remind you why she's never had a 'proper' Hollywood career while others like William Fichtner should really know better. As with all films like this, things start off slow but by the end it's turned into one giant, aimless, generic-feeling CGI action set-piece spectacular that just goes on and on and on.

Honestly, I was never really a fan of the turtle until they introduced the 3D demographics in 2012. But this movie was pretty decent and had few funny moments. Like when the turtles get stuck in a hole and Micky farts.
The CGI in this movie is good the acting is decent but the story could have been improved.
The origin of the turtles is weird unless if it is the real origin because in this film April had the turtles as her pets and her dad gets killed.
Overall not a bad movie but needs improving.

Have you seen it? No? There is likely a very good reason for that...it stinks.Like nearly ALL the endless remakes and reboots that have been plaguing movie goers for the past decade or so....all this is, is a heartless version of the original.It has no heart.It has no soul.It is a retelling of a film that we all love and cherish...and it adds nothing to the story. It improves nothing but the special effects--which held up very well over time--and in some cases belittles the fans of the original...particularly in the fact that they remade the movie at all, without adding anything clever to it.Like so many other remakes it is a hallow shell of the original.
