This was a really fun movie. Not knowing how they were going to revive this incredibly popular TV series, it transitioned pretty smooth and I was totally entertained. My oldest son was the biggest TMNT fan of all time, so I took him with me to the screening and he really enjoyed it too. It was a completely different look for this crime-fighting foursome.
New York City was being inundated by the evil, always diabolical and very intimidating "Shredder" (Tohoru Masamune). Shredder was directing his wicked foot clan to overthrow everyone in the City from the politicians to the police.
While out riding her bike one night, on-air reporter, Miss April O'Neil (Megan Fox) is able to film the foot clan up to no-good on her cell phone and then the story begins.
She goes home and finds a box of keepsakes which includes a video of herself as a child in her father's laboratory and she discovers the secret of why the turtles were mutated. She had seen the turtles on her cell phone video and sets out to find if these new full-grown turtles could be the same ones.
With all of the evil that Shredder is inflicting on the city, the turtles (heroes in a half shell) come to the rescue.
There is a lot of action is this movie! There is one scene where they (April, Vernon Fenwick (Will Arnett) and turtle Raphael) go to the home of wealthy politician and so called friend Eric Sacks (William Fichtner).
Soon after a dramatic and intense snow covered downhill chase between, a rocket powered skateboard, a Humvee and some other vehicles takes place.
The turtles never fail to disappoint. Cowabunga, they brought the heroes in a half-shell back to the big-screen in a big way!
This is a fun and action-packed movie that will keep the young ones on the edge of their seats.
Parents be advised: I am recommending this movie for children ages 8 and up.Shredder is a violent and scary creature. I did notice one swear word and at the end of the movie, there is a very unnecessary "Victoria's Secret" billboard ad (Times Square style) that shows the turtles crawling into the bra of the model. Completely random!
I am giving "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" two and a half bags of popcorn.
