The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

TMNT is the fourth Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise and it was written and directed by Kevin Munore and the film features the voice talents Nolan North, James Arnold Taylor, Mikey Kelley, Mitchell Whitfield, Chris Evans, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kevin Smith, Patrick Stewart, Zhang Ziyi and Laurence Fishburne (who provides narration).This was also the last film that Mako Iwamatsu made before his death and was co-produced by the franchise's co-creator Peter Laird for Warner Bros. Pictures.TMNT was the first TMNT film made with computer-generated imagery (CGI), created by Imagi Animation Studios, as well as the first feature film in the franchise in 14 years.TMNT co-created Peter Laird stated it takes places in it's own universe separate from the previous films, which was supported by it's depiction in Turtles Forever.The film sees the four Turtles: Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello and Michaelangelo grow apart after their final defeat of the Shredder, when strange things are happening in New York City as ancient creatures threatens the world and the Turtles must reunite to save it.The plot sounds really amazing and fantastic and it is just overly amazing and it sounds like a very interesting plot and it is so fantastic and I give credit to the the director and writer of this film and he does an amazing job.The CGI is really amazing and the way New York City and the way that the characters look is really fantastic and it is just fantastically well-done and spectacular and the direction could not have been done any better in this flick and on a positive note, I like the way the Turtles are done in this film, because they made them look more realistic.The acting is amazing and I will give credit to when it's due.Nolan North plays Raphael / Nightwatcher and he does justice.James Arnold Taylor plays Leonardo / Military Man, Mikey Kelley plays Michaelangelo / Cowabunga Carl and Mitchell Whitfield plays Donatello / SSC and they all play there parts wonderfully as well.The late Mako Iwamatsu plays Splinter and he does the voice incredibly and considering what he was dying of during production of this film, he could have done a lot worse.Zhang Ziyi plays Karai and she is amazing in that role.Patrick Stewart plays Max Winters / Yaotl and he does an amazing job and he is fantastic.Chris Evans and Sarah Michelle Gellar plays the roles of Casey Jones and April O'Neill were amazing and fantastically and they did their very best in their roles.Laurence Fishburne does a great job telling us this stand-alone story and he does an amazing job as the narrator and he did some serious storytelling and I did love his performance as Morpheus in the Matrix Trilogy, but I'll save that for another review.The music composed by Klaus Badelt was just spectacular and he could not have done a lot of worse because I loved his musical score for the 2004 critically panned, Catwoman, directed by Pitof and starring Halle Berry as Patience Phillips / Catwoman.The action sequences are just overly fantastic and spectacular and they could have messed up on certain things but they did not and I am glad they did not make any mistakes on this film, like they made some mistakes on "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Turtles in Time".Overall, I love TMNT and I have seen this film twice and it is just spectacular now as it was when first released in 2007, but I was sad that they decided to reboot the franchise instead doing a sequel to the 2007 animated film first.But, I have seen the 2014 reboot and I have not seen the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, which I am about to review next, but I have seen a review of this film, the original trilogy released from 1990 to 1993 and the next one I am about to review, which the name of it is Turtles Forever or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles Forever on Superhero Rewind and Movie Night with Johnathan Paula on YouTube.But this movie, I am giving TMNT a 10 out 10.

Although through the past twenty years or so I have managed to see all three of the live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, I didn't think much of them. So when I sat down to watch this computer animated version, my expectations were pretty low. To my surprise, it was somewhat better than what I was expecting. Though I wished at times that the colors were stronger and more vibrant, the movie for the most part has a good look to it. The director also manages to stage some fairly well done action sequences here and there. The script, however, is a mixed bag. While the screenplay successfully manages to give each turtle a strong and different personality from each other, the central plot concerning the menace the turtles are fighting feels extremely thin and lacking detail. The supporting character (such as April) also feel like afterthoughts. The movie certainly isn't dull, but I do think that more time should have been devoted to rewriting the screenplay. While the movie does in the end manage to be better than what you might expect, it does all the same have some big shortcomings. It will probably help if you are a Ninja Turtle fan.

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!

TMNTThe 4th Turtles movie in the series… this time though it is animated. The whole film is computer generated and the characters have changed a lot. It makes me wonder if this is a sequel or just a separate turtles film.The movie starts out with Leonardo in the jungle training alone. He has been there for a long time and he has no plans to go back to New York. Whilst he is there the other 3 turtles are still hanging around in their sewer wondering what to do as their glory days are behind them. Shredder is dead and they have no idea what to do with their time, especially without Leonardo. When he does return there is a new threat over New York. A antique collector brings 4 ancient statues to life who run havoc trying to capture monsters around New York so that they can use them to open a portal for more hell.The story is actually quite good. I enjoyed the action and the journey the characters went on through the film. The Turtles have changed a lot since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. Leo has a bad attitude about him, but not as bad as Raphael. Raphael has always had a bad attitude, but in this he acts more like a bad guy than a good guy. It is not really good to see the turtles arguing all the time. The thing I loved about them as a kid was their connection to each other, how close they were. But in this Leo and Raph actually have a fight. It was really entertaining to see them go at it, but on the other hand there was the child in me that wanted them to stop. I was very happy that Michelangelo and Donatello were pretty much the same. But their roles in the film seemed a lot smaller than Leo and Raph. It was very good to see April actually kicking some butt this time too… and Casey was back. I love that character and was happy that he was in it.There were actually some famous names to this project. Chris Evans, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kevin Smith and Patrick Stewart did voices in this… but to be honest with you I didn't recognises their voices throughout. Nolan North, James Arnold Taylor, Mikey Kelley & Mitchell Whitfield did the voices of the turtles. The worst voice I would have to say was Mako Iwamatsu as Splinter. This was such a bad choice. His voice did not match that of the last 3 films. In fact it sounded like he was drunk. Splinter was slurring his words all the way through the movie.The animation was really well done. This movie was dark, but it is done that way on purpose. The city looked good and the characters moved brilliantly. The detail in the close ups was also amazing. All in all it was entertaining, but the magic of the original animated TV series will never be recreated, but I do always welcome a new Turtles movie.I will give this film 7 out of 10."Did anyone get the license plate of that thing that hit us last night? It looked like your mom, dude!"For more reviews. please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl
